Dan Hamhuis was awesome tonight. And I still can't believe how well Bieksa is playing right now.

Canucks are over 9000!!

Win/Win situation for us really..

If we can keep both him and Salo without moving any core pieces, we'll have a solid defense group. If we have to trade him, hopefully his recent play will bring in a decent return :D

Salo will definitely be someone we need come Playoff time. I'm just wondering who we're going to clear to get him back.

Who would have thought the Canucks we have a backup that could actual win games for them? And I remember thinking last year that the Canucks were basically pissing away the value of Cory but seems like if he gets a few more wins this season the Canucks might be able to unload him during the off season and get a lot back in return.

If Cory can stay undefeated for the season... :drool tradebait

Since Bieksa is playing so well and Ballard is not....

trade....
ball...
...ard??? :troll:

:haha:

Last night, on the post game show, they said the Nucks need to clear $1.8 M of full year salary to fit Salo back in, when he is ready to play but so far he has only had the one practice with the team.

This is from yesterday, i'm too lazy to go back and see if its been posted already

Besides having a great team, winning the cup is all about timing...

If the Playoffs started in Dec... we would have the cup now. lol


Let's hope we're still over 9000 mode in late April.

LOL at 9000.

Good to hear the mood in the locker room is "very business-like" as per the post game Burrows interview.

I see that as guys not all excited about riding a wave but just coming in and doing what they can to contribute, not getting overly emotional to the point it takes away from their game.

Good to see Samuelson didn't give the puck away in our zone last night.lol. He has to keep it a little simpler and just get it across the line.

^ i hate it when he dangles and loses the puck at our blue line. makes me want to smack him in the head sometimes.

Does anyone remember the link for the CDC page with all the updated canucks highlights
uploaded in HD?

I missed last night's game.

you can watch on youtube. search for canucks at sharks jan 3 and it'll pop up.

I think Ballard has a NTC, doesn't he?

At this rate, it seems to make more sense to keep Bieksa and package one of our 7th D-Men + a bottom 6 guy.

I think ballard's NTC only applies to certain teams.

Afterall, we did acquire him through a trade. Didn't we?

Found this on Ballard: "Keith Ballard, FLA - NTC [starting July 1, 2009; gives a list of 7 teams he will accept a trade to]"

Obviously the Canucks were one... this was done when he was still in Florida, dunno how that contract carries over.

BTW, did you know Stan Lee has created superheroes for each team?? http://www.guardianproject30.com/

DAmn. that's pretty sweet!

So far Penguins, Kings and Hurricanes revealed.

http://www.facebook.com/theguardianp...56199747751632

Yup, they were talked about earlier this season.

Kind of interesting, but based on those pics revealed so far...
I find it a bit lame.

The superheroes look so unoriginal, and it looks like it's just some
existing superhero design, where they alter a bit, and slap on the
NHL logo.
