And now that this has been mentioned, I actually DO notice he's always circling back, and sometimes he's the last guy back, so it's quite dangerous if the other team has a strong forechecker.
That being said, Canucks have been winning just fine without him, so AV could care less that he's scratching a 4.2 million player. | More info on this?
Was there a press conference where AV said this or was it just members here and I seemed to have missed it amoungst the fake jersey discussions?

^ That makes sense. If you're last man back you definitely do not want to get caught. Come to think of it, I remember thinking "he" shouldn't be dangling like that, he's last man back that's dangerous.. And I guess "he" is in fact ballard. I guess I never put two and two together.
Makes sense.

Makes sense. | yeah, it just made logical sense when they explained it like that. i mean, if you're the 5th/6th dman and you're out there trying to do your own thing, i sure as hell wouldn't put you in the lineup often either.

I feel for Ballard. He is so close to Dan Boyle at times, but other times so very far away. He's nowhere near as risky as Jovanovski was in his prime. He's an offensive minded play making rushing d-man and when they don't see a play that's safe enough to make, its more natural to turn back and reset then to chip it up and out. I can see why its hard for him to adopt the stay at home mentality all the time.
On any other team he'd be a top 4 d-man, and in that role consistently I think he would fair quite well.
Plus he throws hips like nobodies business, not even Hamhuis

One game in the finals, or 41 games with the team. Team 1040 looked it up to see if Manny would get his name on there.

Just a heads up for anyone who's looking to buy the Canucks Road Game Viewing Party tickets. They're currently sold out, but Ticketmaster releases them periodically, just keep checking. DO NOT BUY from the scalpers on Craigslist unless they're going for $12~$13. Don't let those wankers profit from this because the money is supposed to go to charity.

For those wondering about the names on the cup...taken from NHL.com
SOURCE: http://www.nhl.com/cup/fun_facts.html
To have one's name engraved on the Stanley Cup certain requirements must be met. A player must have at least 41 games played with the club or one game played in the Stanley Cup Finals. However, in 1994 a stipulation was added to allow a team to petition the Commissioner for permission to have players' names put on the Cup if extenuating circumstances prevented them from being available to play.
