Pudge Drops Weight; Nucks Misconduct Now Accepting Bulimic Nicknames

PrintGood stuff from Hosea Cheung today about the new body mass for your favorite fatty Kyle Wellwood:
Having learned his lesson from last year, the Canucks forward is at a solid 180 pounds, a big drop from the 198-pound weigh-in during last season's camp.
The 26-year-old was about 184 pounds at the end of the playoffs.
"From last year's camp to now, it's a big difference," said Wellwood yesterday at UBC. "I'm at my playing weight now and I'm healthy."
First Bernier and now Wellwood? Vancouver is becoming a high school cheerleading squad with all this weight loss.
I'm not sure I will enjoy writing about a waifier Pudge (I just made up a new adjective...you're welcome), but at least he understands there's a small army of prospects gunning for his job and he needs a big year if he wants a future on this team. If nothing else, having less Wellwood drama at camp this year would be a good thing.

Bernier? He’s back, leaner and meaner.
Wellwood? Ditto.
Raymond? TBD.
It sure sounds as if the 3rd liners were told they’d need to get fitter, and, with the competition in camp this year, they’ll need it.
Exactly. Can you tell they know they need to dress to impress a bit?

" • Oh no! Kyle Wellwood(notes) is 18 pounds lighter heading into Vancouver Canucks camp than he was last season. That sound you just heard was us doing a “find and replace” for the Puck Daddy joke archives with “Marty Brodeur.” "
Puck Daddy. i got a good laugh this morning.
GO CANUCKS GO!
At the arbitration hearing Gilman was overheard telling Wellwood, “Well you got your raise. Come in overweight and I’ll fuckin’ trade you.”
I like how you think Bobby

Welly...
I like it for some reason.
Yup, seems the guys new that camp wouldn’t be a “cakewalk” this year.
Wellfed is actually more accurate this year though…in a good way!

I'll get there:
I like “Wilson”, and it has nothing to do with his weight. Jump from “Wellwood” to “Woodrow” to “Wilson” and all the ways you can say “Wilson!” Miss him? Think of the volleyball from Castaway. Need help? There’s Tim Allen’s wise neighbour from Home Improvement.
And, of course, if you’re ever angry at some bone-headed play, “Wiiiil-SOOOON!”
God I love that movie! Wilson just doesn’t do it for me though. The Waifer gets my vote! (sorry Thursday)

All this weight loss talk makes me want to listen to Carpenters music.

Besides, I’m still calling him Chubby, cuz that’s a lovable name. And, it will serve as a motivational reminder to Kyle that we’ll be watching him, just like Food Anonymous on The Flintstones…
Goink, Goink, Goink!

They're a Modern Stone Age Family
Game, set and rec’d.
I've seen enough to know that I've seen too much.
He will always be Pudge to me. I don’t think I can let it go. I really hope Wellwood does good in camp and makes the team, he was my favorite player last year. I think if he improves a bit he can be a huge (no pun intended) player for us.
Burrows + Canucks = Stanley Cup!
