Sami "Iron Man" Salo? :troll:

It sucks Burrows and Salo are injured, but maybe this will make them fresher for the home stretch...

I just hope they don't rush anyone back.

I know on the site they have him as #2 but I havent' read anything that confirmed it.

It better be confirmed, or I'm going to be pissed I ended up with a mis-numbered jersey :rofl:

It's official.

Willie Mitchell sent a resounding message to anyone willing to listen Monday.

Skating with several NHL players at UBC, the UFA defenceman wired a booming slapshot past the head of goaltender Martin Jones and shattered the glass behind the net.

Then moments later, while still sporting a giant grin on his face, he aimed again at the remaining fragments, finishing the job.

For a player whose career seemed to be jeopardy just months earlier, there's no better way to say “I'm back, baby”.

The hour-and-a-half session Monday was far from Mitchell's first venture back on the ice since suffering a concussion in January, having skated since early July.

I feel a lot more ready than I do usually at this time of the year," Mitchell said.

"I'm obviously flattered that a lot of teams are interested and fortunately enough, the main teams that are interested are teams that have a shot at winning it all and that's what it's all about."



Sounds like a guy that is motivated and wanting to prove himself...

Since when did Mitchell have a booming slap shot?

He's a stay at home defenseman, not a power play quarterback.

cmoooooon willie!

jigga250 08-23-2010 08:14 PM

not surprised that he missed the net, lol

Is there anywhere I can get a Hamhuis tee yet?

last season i noticed AV told him to join the rush, and to take slap shots from the point ALOT MORE. i also noticed, his slap shot was ... lacking ... compared to the likes of sami salo.

If I remember correctly, during the first part of the season, Mitchell was one of the top scorers (G+A) on the team! :)

OhSoGood 08-23-2010 10:24 PM

If I remember correctly it was because the whole team was lacking in scoring not because mitchell was the shit lol

It said, wired a booming slap shot. One that broke the glass. The writer of the article is just colouring it up. No need to nitpick at something like that.

RT @NHLSourcesSay Henrik Sedin to be new Canucks captain, Luongo not taking it in a bad way.

I don't know... I still think Kes would make a better captain even though he has some maturing to do IMO. He has the kind of personality it takes to set the tone and be a game changer. Nothing against Hank, we all know what he's proven last season, I just don't see it.
