Is this as reliable as the Ian White trade rumors

That's being based on the speculation that Oberg was pulled from the Moose game yesterday for a pending Canucks transaction and that the only way he could be called up and fit under the cap is if one of the Canucks goes on LTIR, speculation being Bieska.

I'm hearing Bieksa is going to be out around 3 weeks with a fracture in his left foot. Not confirmed by team yet tho. Oberg on his way up.


can we continue to win with even more ahl dmen lol

wtffffff

This is getting to be very comical

At least the boys are still able to put wins together while adapting to all these different players. When we get or top D back, it's gonna be wild.

I just slipped and fell down 1/2 a flight of stairs last night. My first thought: Good thing it was me and not Salo! :)

This often happens in the short term when a team is faced with injuries. In the long run, performance will suffer.

2 months left until playoffs - as long as most guys are back by then it's all good

Its not all good. Have to factor in how long it'll take for these guys to get back into game shape. Look what happened to Bieska when he came back from his previous injury :(

That's how I see it. If we get most of our D men back over the next 5-6 weeks, they should be playoff ready.

this is getting out of control..bubble wrap anyone?

sweet for canucks farm team to play in NHL tho ..

ill be damn happy if i can play a game or two

Hope to get them all back 5-10 games before playoffs

Well at least the Canucks still have Nathan Paetsch playing in Rochester if need be, at least he has NHL experience

Wow... talk about a decimated blueline...

The joke made before the game against the Wild was that it would be a successful night not if we win, but made it out without losing another d-man... guess that didn't work out.

Extremely misleading stat now that they have OT/SO losses column.

Their record is 25-26-7.

They are not one game under .500... they are really 25-33, or eight games under .500.

Not totally true.

Teams that have a winning record, but have a bad goal differential means they manage to win tight games, but when they lose, they lose big.

This indicates that they have been somewhat "lucky" thus far...

Consider a four games stretch where they go 4-3, 2-1, 3-2 (SO), 1-7.

They are -4 in goal differential in that stretch, even though they were 3-1.

Taking away variance, the games could have just as easily went 3-4, 2-3, 2-3, 2-3.

Same number of goals scored for both teams, but they go 0-4 instead.

Sure, granted it's not a perfect way to gauge how well they've been playing, but I'm pretty sure there are some facts that show a team with a good goal differential usually ends up doing better than a team that doesn't.

it's really a great conversation starter.

"How 'bout them canucks blueline?"
AND THEN YOU BOTH CRY.

This year's funny trade wish-list..

It is getting comical. Canucks are going to have to score a lot to make up for it.

I like how John Shorthouse was joking about Alain or Rick Bowness putting on the skates to fill in :D

I know right. It is amazing what the Flames are doing right now. It would make for a tough but awesome serious if they face the Canucks.

Im wondering how much Scott Niedermayer is enjoying retirement? Hopefully Gillis tries to find out.
