i hope manny can take the rest of the seaon off and recover 120%, a bit risky.

but i also want to see him on the line up to play for the stanley cup , lets say if we win it, although his name will be on it but from a player's POV that must sucked not to participate in any of playoff games.


who know whats going to happen next season, we might not even make it pass the first round.

Since there is no rush, no need to fit Manny in so soon.
Let's see how it goes...
maybe if Canucks are losing in the series, or if they are up by a big margin.. like 3-0 or 3-1.
They can afford to try Manny out.

They got so far without him in the lineup so far. Why fix something that isn't broken.
Seems like a risk still for Manny anyway. Players aren't going to ease up during playoffs, especially in the finals.

P&T had Mason Raymond on a little while ago, they asked him about Manny... he said Manny was sitting right there across from him with the hugest smile on his face, and the smile had pretty much been there from the time he got back on the ice.

^ to be honest I don't see it going game 7.
The Canucks are too good and too deadly.

I can see five games.

not sure if you guys are serious about sloting manny back in the line...

do you stick with the team who gone through this playoff together or someone who made an impact for this team in the regular season?

what about the rust impact manny might have?

Manny is a really nice guy, I spent an hour with him and he was super chilled and very easy going and it sucks what happen to him. It would be nice if he can even have a shift in one of the games and on the radio yesterday they were talking about if the Canucks win the cup would Manny's name would be put on the cup and supposedly it will be because he's played the necessary games needed. It was also mentioned that the Canucks can make a special request to have a players name added.

Pavel Bure didn't make it back to Vancouver for a reunion of the 1994 Canucks team earlier this week, but he's well aware of the excitement that is gripping the city.

The Russian Rocket lived it himself 17 years ago and is hoping the current version of the Canucks can accomplish what he and his teammates failed to.

"Definitely I'm going to watch that final and I wish for them to win the Cup," Bure said Friday from Miami.

Now 40 and eight years into his retirement from the NHL, Bure still keeps tabs on the league. He's followed this year's playoffs closely from his living room in Florida and believes the Canucks have the proper makeup to win a championship.

It's a different situation than the '94 team faced in a final against the heavily favoured New York Rangers.

"We were underdogs all the way," said Bure. "Obviously right now it's totally different. I think they're the favourite because they won the Presidents' Trophy by quite a few points, not just a little bit.

"They were the favourites even going to the playoffs and so far they're doing really well."

Vancouver's deep playoff run has brought back memories of the magical spring of 1994, when Bure and his teammates erased a 3-1 deficit in the first round against Calgary before dispatching Dallas and Toronto on the way to a heartbreaking seventh-game loss to the Rangers in the Stanley Cup final.

The little team that could seemed to pick up steam with each passing game. Bure believes the turning point came in Game 5 of the opening round against the Flames.

"When (the series) was 3-1 and we went to the overtime, I guess we had nothing to lose," said Bure. "We relaxed and we came together as a team. We won that game and we started to believe a little bit; we went to overtime again (in Game 6) and we won; and then there was double overtime (in Game 7) and we won that."

The series-clincher came on a vintage Bure play, where he deftly slipped behind the defence and beat Mike Vernon on a breakaway for one of 16 goals he'd score that post-season.

It gave Vancouver some swagger.

"After that, everybody was playing above their level I think," said Bure. "We were a really close team, had a huge belief in ourselves and I just remember sitting in the dressing room: `OK, we tied the game and for sure we're going to win.'

"We just had some much confidence, you know?"

They rode that right until the dying minutes of Game 7 against the Rangers, who edged Vancouver 3-2 to end a 54-year Stanley Cup drought.

Bure was just 23 then, but he would only be part of two more teams that qualified for the playoffs -- never again getting past the second round. Even still, he doesn't live with regret about what could have been in 1994.

"Obviously, everybody wants to win and not all the time it's going your way," said Bure. "We can't change the past. What happened, happened."

While the Russian plans to watch the Stanley Cup final closely, he won't attend any of the games.

Bure has kept a low profile since he was forced out of hockey by chronic knee injuries in 2003. He continues to support the NHLPA's Goals & Dreams program and makes occasional appearances on behalf of that cause, but otherwise shies away from the spotlight.

"Maybe I've had enough so far in my life and I just want to take a break from the public eye," said Bure. "I'm just comfortable with myself, with my family, with my friends and that's how I want to keep it for now.

"You never know -- maybe one day I'll want to go back in the public eye. Just not at this point."

So things should be fixed with the g/f now. I just picked her up a 32" Samsung LED tv and HDPVR box. If she doesn't want to watch hockey she can watch her own shit

Stamkos coming back. I think this game will be 1-0 Bruins. 1st goal being scored in the 3rd mid period.
