#Canucks will go 8D, 13F. Waiver claim Stanton is 8D. Since susp Kassian counted in 13F, likely no rm for Shinkaruk after Dalpe deal.

tis why?

[kristianhay]

Can only have 23 on the roster when they submit their lineups today. 8D, 13F, 2G. Guess the trade pushed Hunter out, which kind of sucks. I was hoping to see him get a couple games at the start - at least he was exciting to watch.

Same team with a slightly different bottom 6, but not any better.

great to see the Canucks putting youth into our lineup.....

Yeah same team but I believed that we didn't maximize the full potential of the team though.

Example. Not playing Garrison on the PP last season.

lame, hybrid icing.

anyhow.. I think by youth, Gillis and Torts might have meant something else. Perhaps Lack, JS, Jensen, Corrado, instead.

Jensen and JS are injured, Lack made the team, Corrado would have made it but playing top minutes is way better for his development. It was a stretch to begin with to think 18 year olds would crack the lineup.. But at the same time with suspensions and injuries you'd expect at least a couple games.

Again, I do think they'll get their shot maybe later in the season like how Jensen did

[kristianhay]

I don't mind hybrid icing, doesn't effect the game for me as a fan. If anything, it decreases the likelihood of an awful accident - see Tyler Fedun, Joni Pitkanen, Kurtis Foster, etc - which I hate seeing.

Agreed that that may have been what they meant, but none of them really played well enough to make the team, Corrado aside (and he didn't even make the team). Lack has been okay but has looked shaky at times. Jensen was invisible and got hurt, doesn't deserve to be here. Not sure where JS fits in, even if healthy.

I guess a lot of people were looking forward to a younger lineup after all the talk about it, so it kind of sucks to see them icing pretty much the same lineup as the past 2 seasons. Guess we'll see what happens.

We have a new coach though, so things are still better than before

Another first round exit that's what

[dbaz]

not much you can do about icing a younger lineup if most of the players aren't ready. shinkarkuk has good speed and vision but hes simply pushed off the puck far too easily. horvat looked lost and seemed to have trouble with the speed of the game at first. but if you count the waiver pick up and trade as well, the team is a little younger. Lack (25), Dalpe (23), Schroeder (23), Stanton (24), Weber (25) are still around. depending on how the other younger players do from now until next year you are looking at the likely addition of one or two of the following : shinkaruk, horvat, gaunce, jensen corrado. seems to me its getting younger, just not as fast as people expected

+1, tell that to Dan Bylsma.

[Not really racist!]

oh god I acutally agree with dbaz lulz..

I think we just have high expectations and not enough patience

At least Bo and Shinny can play for team Canada and in the memorial cup, it'll be super valuable for their development, so it isn't THAT bad

[dbaz]

dunno if anyone mentioned but due to vokouns injury/proble the pens are in contact with bryzgalov and his agent. fluery-bryz goalie combo

Good goaltending, eh?

[kristianhay]

Welsh sent to the minors, JS placed on the IR. I expect to see something along these lines for Thursday's opener.

Sedin Sedin Burrows
Higgins Kesler Hansen
Booth Santorelli Richardson
Sestito Dalpe Weise

Hamhuis Bieksa
Edler Garrison
Alberts Tanev

Luongo
Lack

Renaud Lavoie ‏@LavoieRenaud

Checked with sources with Pens, there has not been any discussions with Ilya Bryzgalov agent and Penguins have no interest.

[dbaz]

weird, as of last night it was this

Lisa Hillary @LisaHillaryTV

NHL management source tells me Pittsburgh has interest in Bryzgalov #humongousBig2ndchance

along with other tweets

cant trust media

[jeedee]

Renaud Lavoie ‏is legit brah

[Bouncing Bettys]

Canucks aren't the only ones sending good youth down. Sens sent Zibanejad down.

I really want the Pens - Bryzgalov rumours to be true lol

[UFO]

Bryz is a nutcase, but he has shown stretches where he can absolutely light it up as well. As long as him and Fleury don't fall into the same cycle, all can be well. Maybe

[Mike Oxbig]

sorta reminds me of kane and toews

[kwy]

except not nearly as good at hockey or good looking

Is it just me or has the Canucks website been f**ked for a few days now? :/

[Not really racist!]

that's a pretty old pic back around when they both got drafted

we can only pray they turn out to be our Kane and Toews, top picks and best of their draft class
