Around SBN: News And Other Updates Leading Up To Pats-Giants

Monday Morning Coffee- Great Dane with a great goal

Jannik Hansen popped a rebound off his initial shot behind Pekke Rinne of the Nashville Predators to help the Canucks complete a 3rd period comeback and win 4-2 yesterday in the music city.  The win was the 9th come from behind victory for the Canucks, a category they lead the NHL in.  Is this a reason to be concerned, or is it a sign the Canucks are moving into that upper echelon of teams in the league?  More after the jump...

Star-divide

Some will tell you that the fact that the Canucks have to continue to battle back is a sign there are issues with the team and they're not going anywhere.  Granted, the fact that the Canucks have been giving up the first goal rather consistently is a trend that could lead to disaster if they don't stop it.  But when you factor in the intangibles: Missing two of their top 4 defensemen, and despite the underwhelming names, and seemingly endless 'highlight' reel of mistakes they've made, the wins keep coming.  Since losing Mitchell to a concussion in January, the Canucks are 12-5 and are poised to finish no worse than .500 on the Road Trip From Hell (tm).  Obviously the Canucks would rather have both Mitchell and Bieksa back, but it's a testament to the depth of the organization that they continue to roll along in spite of the adversity.

Issues aside, the simple fact is, good teams find a way to win.  The Canucks reached the 40 win plateau earlier than ever in team history, and have done it through a myriad of injuries, massive controversy and the aforementioned record setting road trip.  It certainly fills you with confidence as we head into the stretch drive that this team may finally be ready to make some noise in the post season for the first time since 1994.

Tomorrow night is huge, as they battle the Colorado Avelanche in Denver in one of those ultra important divisional matchups.  A Canucks win and they have a 4 point lead, a loss and the Avs will once again be tied in points, with the Canucks owning the tie breaker.  My guess is we see Luongo tomorrow, then Andrew Raycroft Wednesday in Phoenix.  Raycroft has been a pleasant surprise this year, providing the Canucks with some decent back up goaltending in his limited time.  Knowing the Canucks will likely promote Cory Schneider to the back up role next year, Raycroft is making the most of this opportunity.  

Around the breakfast nook...

Ridiculous timing aside, one can only hope the GM's meetings in Florida today get some real definitive action on the headshots that are plaguing the game.  The trick is in finding the balance between protecting the health of the players, punishing offenders correctly and maintaining the physicality of the game.  No easy task for sure, and with fresh evidence provided by Matt Cooke yesterday on Marc Savard they will have the ability to make deliberate headshots a thing of the past.  We hope.

After Friday, much of the talk was perhaps the Chicago Blackhawks made the right call by not dealing for a goalie at last week's trade deadline.  After witnessing the 2nd period explosion by the struggling Detroit Red Wings yesterday which saw them pound 4 past Cristobal Huet and the eventual game winner past Annti Niemi as they hung on to win 5-4.  Now much of the talk is do they really want to face the Red Wings in the first round with the goaltenders they stood pat with.

Calgary got big games from Jarome Iginla and Rene Bourque yesterday as they beat the Minnesota Wild 5-2.  It was a win for the first game in a Flames uniform by Vesa ToskalaMaple Leafs fans across Canada are awaiting the eventual collapse that Toskala is known for.  The Flames win certainly helped their playoff chances, but are still not gaining ground on 8th place Detroit.

Man, the schedule makers really didn’t like the Canucks this year. Not only did they give them the long roadie, but then they get to play back to backers in their first 2 home. Those will be toughies (I’d almost consider them part of the trip).

7 wins in 12 is good (I said from day 1 if they get 14 points I’d be happy). Win one of the last 2, and it will be a great trip. Win them both, and this has gotta be considered an overwhelming success.

Knights, Canucks, Dolphins, Jays and Raptors all the way.

If, after this roadtrip, Colorado did not catch the Canucks for first place (which I strongly hope, but remains to be seen), how will they catch them on the home stretch?
This is what has to be on the Avalanche’s mind.

If they successfully pass this road-test (just get one more win), the Canucks should be thinking that they are capable of ANYTHING in the playoffs. As of today, only 3 teams scored more goals than Vancouver, and only 7 teams allowed less goals, in spite of heavy injuries throughout the season. If they are 100% healthy, comes the playoffs, they can do some real damage.

I was really disappointed when I saw Cookie Monster’s dirty hit. I used to like the guy very much, I thought he had a big heart, when playing for the Canucks. But yesterday’s hit was premeditated and cold blooded, right to the head. He could have ended Savard’s career. The worst part of this kind of play is that the offender actually acts af it it was a legitimate, clean hit (“Hey, I was just skating by, and his head happened to hit my elbow….I din’t even lift my arm”). Right, as long as you don’t raise your elbow, it is OK to break the guy’s neck, or blow his brains out.
If I was the commissioner, I would suspend Cooke for the rest of the season.

My son is just getting into playing hockey (7 years old), and I am not sure how excited he will get, seeing that this is the kind of play waiting for him, if he ever gets successful in this sport. I accept the fact that dirty players will always be part of any sport, but this is what the League is for: to make sure that they don’t see ice time ever again.

You know whats worse than "could have ended Savard's career"

He could have ended his life. By that I don’t mean killed him, but he could have permanently disabled him.

If a guy blows out their knee and has to end there career, they can still live a relatively normal life. Some guys who have terrible concussion and brain damage can never perform regular daily routines again. That hit was disgusting.

Cory Schneider

Hey guys,

I am not a Nucks fan, though I do like ’em (I unfortunately have to suffer being a Leaf fan right now). Anyway I had a question for you guys:

Do you really think that Schneider’ll play as a back up next year and not be traded? I can understand Vancouver wanting that to happen, but I would think that HE would be demanding a trade to prove himself somewhere else, b/c with Lu signed long term (a great move if a tad pricey, in my eyes) he won’t be getting it in Van.

To be fair though I expected him to be traded within a month of Lu’s extension.

Anyway whats your (collective) take on it?

by BCapp on Mar 8, 2010 1:29 PM PST reply actions  

it’s obvious from what WAACH "CAST put in his post that he thinks Corey will be our back-up next year, but most of the rest of us aren’t as optimistic.
i wouldn’t be surprised if he gets traded at some point. in fact, i think gillis might just keep him in manitoba until a good enough deal comes along to send him away……

yeah, that’s the first i’ve heard of that idea too. pretty much, with lu’s contract extension kicking in next season, it was quite obvious that corey would be traded at some point. corey’s got too bright a future to just sit there and back up luongo.

Fair enough. Thats how I see it. Its just not fair to the kid to not trade him.

That being said, there is no reason to be sad about that as a Nucks fan. You have a great asset there which will get you something good (assuming Gillis does his job) via trade.

The only reason I can see him doing back up duty, is to try to increase his trade value by showing he can perform in the N. But personally I think his value is at its highest and would trade him without risking bad performance.

by BCapp on Mar 8, 2010 1:37 PM PST up reply actions  

But if you believe in him, then you wait for him to prove himself, and that can double or triple his value.

I think that may be the plan for next year because I don’t think his value is that high right now since he hasn’t showed much in the NHL (which is likely why he hasn’t been traded yet). Any great negotiator knows to sell high and buy low. I could see him getting 12-15 games up to the trade deadline and be traded, similar to Mike Smith a couple years ago with the Stars.

It all comes down to what Atilla said than, and thats believing in him

Because following that route risks him not performing in the NHL and plummeting his value.

I am probably just too conservative a thinker to speculate on Gillis’ plans. lol

by BCapp on Mar 8, 2010 1:47 PM PST up reply actions  

Even if a trade doesn’t come along that blows the Canucks socks off you still have to move him at some point. It isn’t fair for CS to be a backup to Luongo at this point in his career. He needs to be moved for the good of the young man’s future. I don’t want the Canucks to just sit on CS and keep him in the AHL or have him play 10 games as a backup. To me that isn’t fair and I think it would give our organization a bad name. What prospect would want to come to Vancouver if they look and see CS in the AHL with his career stagnating?

Schneider gone by draft day so we move up in the draft. I will stand by that opinion.

by Sean Zandberg on Mar 8, 2010 5:05 PM PST up reply actions  

Agree completely. Someone else can then sign him to a longer-term high-value RFA contract. He’s only ever going to sign a 1 year deal with us and that degrades his value since he will be a UFA afetr that.

by NuckFan on Mar 8, 2010 5:18 PM PST up reply actions  

I still say no way we’re trading him for draft position. There will be more involved…I’m not saying that he won’t a piece of a trade that involves a move in the draft for us at some point, but I just can’t see gillis trading something as valuable as CS for just a pick…

by GAHHHHH! on Mar 8, 2010 7:05 PM PST up reply actions  

Other than that lights out game he had earlier in the season, a loss but CS was surreal, he wasn’t very good while on the Canucks. Worse yet, he hasn’t played as well for the Moose as he did last year. Compared to then, he’s been fairly average this year. Could it lessen his trade value?

by Bobby Canuck on Mar 8, 2010 8:03 PM PST up reply actions  

No, I really don’t think it could, yet. It’s a big picture thing…he’s a rare breed in the NHL…a number one goalie in waiting, and one that is bound to be a top tier one. Gillis knows this. The other GMs know this too. Any other talk is just bargaining via media and posturing.

Now, if he were to say stagnate another year with a less than awesome performance, then u might see some value disintegrate.

Just my opinion.

"Hope you like pancakes, Norway..."

by GAHHHHH! on Mar 8, 2010 11:57 PM PST up reply actions  

This is a tough one for the Canucks. On one hand, being a back-up is a great way to get one’s feet wet in the NHL, before being fully immersed into it. If he does a great job at it, he has proven that he is ready for the number one job elsewhere. At that point, his market value will be substantial. The donwside is that he will see much less action then he is used to, at the farm team. At his age, he needs to play as many games as possible. So, if he is a back-up, Vigneault will have to give him much more games, than what Raycroft got this year.

On the other hand, if they trade him next year, without any NHL experience, the acquiring team takes a chance of him. So, his value as an unproven player will be less.

At the end, it will come down to what the Canucks needs are next year, and what kind of offers they will be getting from other teams.

Los Angeles, CA

by AttilaS on Mar 8, 2010 1:38 PM PST up reply actions  

My 2 cents would be to move him at the deadline or draft day. I think a team with an unproven starter would honestly be interested. Guys like Smith (TB), Howard (Det), or someone with an aging veteran (that way you end up with a situation like Mason and Garon).

Anyway Van’s 1st round draft pick won’t be anything special this year (the way they are playing I would be surprised with anything worse than last years finish) and they could use to strengthen there prospect pool (its not terrible but its not great). So I can see them making some moves at the draft.

On a side note coming into this season I predicted Chicago or Vancouver out of the West and Philly or Washington out of the East. So here’s hoping!

by BCapp on Mar 8, 2010 1:45 PM PST up reply actions  

CS

I fully expect to see Schneider gone at the draft this year. Either as part of a deal for picks or for a similar level player who is a d-man or forward. As has been routinely said around here, there’s no point in having an asset like that if you’re not going to use him.

I still think we should be talking to PHI at the draft for a package that includes CS, a forward prospect or two, and someone like Bieksa for Carter and Coburn.

Knights, Canucks, Dolphins, Jays and Raptors all the way.

by Jevant on Mar 8, 2010 1:56 PM PST up reply actions  

It’s an interesting scenario but I am not sure that CS, KB (why would they want him at his salary number instead of Coburn?) and a prospect or two would net those two guys in return. Might be better off trying to get JVR for CS and Hodgson?

I hope the Canucks don't give up on Hodge.

CS is a prospect that we can trade away and not worry about long term consequences, but I want Hodge to stick around. He still has the potential to be a top 6 forward on the Canucks, and as teams like Chicago and Pittsburgh have demonstrated, the best way to win the cup is through the draft. Plus, what prospects and free agents would want to come play for the Canucks if trade away our future (besides CS) for quick fixes (Scoring is not a problem for the Canucks, so I dont think we really need Carter, and defense can be plugged up by Mitch coming back and Bieksa re-learning how to play hockey).

That being said, if a ridiculous king’s ransom can be had through a trade, Gillis should make it. He better just make sure its damn well worth it. Still, I’d like Hodge to stick around.

Well the last sentence is just a guess on my part, obv. But as far as giving up on him, the Canucks organization has always said it supports Coho…there was that whole ‘is he injured or is he not’ thing, but I think that it’s pretty apparent that things were blown wayyyyy out of proportion there. And if I was mike gillis, i probably wouldnt spend as much time as I do on here.

I have been at PPP since with no problems. I find the guys at M&G a lot more open than PPP…but even bad experiences can be learning ones. The Oiler guys are fun, and so are the Avs. But even there, and M&G, there can be a few that don’t have such a warm welcoming vibe for outsiders. I do have to say that I have learnt more about how to approach them.

Life is too short…

Pensburgh? Never have had a problem with them either. I found most SB Nation blogs to be pretty open.

Fear the Fin is fun these days. So is PPP…though I don’t really spend much time there. From reading them occasionally, they are trying to just carry on through this season.

After the game the talking heads on the radio mentioned that Hodgson has broken a toe resulting in his season being ended. First I heard of it and I imagine that most here probably have discussed it on some posts that I haven’t read. Kills my fantasy of CoHo coming to the Nucks come playoff time and playing killer.

I think it’s a hairline fracture and that he’s out for the regular OHl season but is due back for the playoffs. Brampton’s reg season ends march 14th (6 days from now) so overall it doesn’t sound that bad. Is that how others see it?

That’s the problem with terrible jokes. They still get laughs. And really, the shame is on you.

He pushes himself, tho, and if he learns to temper that attitude with a little judgment it’ll only make him better. Similar to the back injury, he played thru the pain for a long time on the broken toe – weeks – before getting it checked out properly.

"I'll have your leg next..."

A broken toe…usually a shot block right? How long was Daniel off? On maybe they can get RJ to call him and tell him his travails.

He can still be a call up for the playoffs…but for us instead of the Battalion.

Their uniforms suck anyhow…

I like how from the end of the third period to the high point after the medal ceremony forms a ‘W’.

Missy, I just wanted to let you know that you made a minor mistake in the last sentence of your sig.. You said “please bare with me”, and it should be “please bear with me”.
 
I am telling you this in the friendliest terms, as I mean no disrespect whatsoever, and I am a NM infant compared to you, and thereby don’t carry the authority to be disrespectful.
 
I just wanted to clarify this so I don’t come off as an arrogant asshole.
 
Finally, if any of the ladies want my number, you need but to ask. :P

I just had a gander at Cookers hit on Savard. That should be a season long suspension for Matt, as much as I have affection for the guy. Unacceptable. That was dirty as anything, I think.
