One trade I would honestly love to see is Pyatt and a draft pick for Wheeler of Boston. That dude is a fucking beast.

should call him out on that shit like what T mac said about robbie | There will always be favorites amongst the coaching staff. I think they are hoping to get another 20 goal season out of him. But I agree with you. They ride him way too much, meybe literally..hahah.

AV will be with the Canucks for the remainder of the season...unless they go on an 8 game losing streak or something ridiculous...
He's a good coach. In terms of juggling the lines. You got players coming in and out with injuries or signings..i'd imagine he's trying to find good chemistry. With that being said he is notoriously known for doing it - but I say patience should play out.
I will be the first one to dump on this team in the beginning of February if they are underperforming...
On a side note...Salo is made of glass...he slipped walking onto the ice in practice or the skate...and right a way grabbed his side...
Anyone at the Fan Appreciation night?? The sweater over the back at the end of the game...When the voiceguy called Salo...Salo was shaking every fans hand before he got to the fan he was going to give his jersey to..
THe voiceguy says over the PA - Hey Sami..stop shaking all those hands you might get injured...LOL thought that was pretty funny

Not sure how much the Canucks kick in but $10 mill seems about right. The Leafs have the biggest kick back.

The guys calling the game for MSG on Tuesday had high praise for Sundin and said Vancouver fans are in for a big surprise once Sundin gets his legs moving.

I like the move from AV but like fobulous said wtf is up with AV benching Wellwood and not Raymond? I would have benched Raymond last week but that been said it’s not like Wellwood has been playing any better. He's been awful the past few games which includes a few really bad giveaways. Come to think of it the entire teams needs to be benched, lol.

He's the only guy in the team that has a good finish and I agree with his previous statement. "Every game he will get 2 to 3 chances and he is guaranteed to bury at least 1." The catch is he needs top-line or 2nd-line minutes to eventually get those 2 to 3 chances.
This goes for Demitra too. I don't know why AV doesn't utilize this guy more.

I don't see AV punishing Edler, Bieksa & Sedins for the exact same giveaways as well. Doesn't make sense to single out Wellwood when the whoole team is is making the exact same mistakes, (goalies included), that they weren't making earlier in the season.
I don't know why the Canucks lost their intensity. It's as if the almost don't give a fuck anymore. Which makes me wish all our players was Ovechkin-like. Not necessarily the goal scoring part, but the "I  hockey part". The part that says "I want to be here and I would rather do nothing else." The guy even celebrates his teammates goal the way he celebrates his own. Even when his team was shit a few season ago, he still was the same guy.

AV benching wellwood is the same reason why demitra was demoted to 4th liner status for the NJ game.
Av woulda benched Demitra if he didnt have the godly "untouchable" clause
Demitra cannot be traded, waived, scratched
thus the most "demeaning" thing AV could do is start him on the 4th line..Demitra turned up the heat in the NJ game to get himself outta the dog house.
Lets hope wellwood is amazing for the CBJ game if he can slot back into this one
Raymond at least can play with some energy at times to earn his position on the team on a nightly basis even if its the 4th line. Janik Hansen will need to be an impact player vs PHX to make his statement on the team. It don't matter if Hansen is top 10 in rookie scoring(i think) and it dont matter how well he plays with sundin back in toronto. you on a slump like he is and playin like garbage, something will happen. Just like Curtis Sanford.
Too bad for wellwood tho, the top checkers are still hounding at the sedins in the corners and wellwood(yes he is small) isnt really allowing the sedins to free themselves up if he joins the passing party in the corner

This goes for Demitra too. I don't know why AV doesn't utilize this guy more. | i agree that Wellwood gets really shitty minutes. And Do we really need to have the PP lineups totally different than the regular lineup? Cause thats when someone usually is the odd man out when u start mixing it up on the PP.
Maybe this is a bad example but in the WEC days Mo-Bert-Nazzy always played together 5v5 and 5v4 and Sedins + Carter/Klatt/King did aswell, thats why i believe we were really good on the PP
remember the first couple Canuck games this season, we saw the "new" look canucks, right now there playing like last season. Time for Kelser and Burrows to inspire this club alil bit

Scratching one of the team's leading scorer? That's just ridiculous. oh well, Pyatt must be doing something extra on the side for AV just to keep him playing.
