Print34 days from now the Canucks will kick open the preseason doors with a game against the Flames. If you prefer, that's about 816 hours, 48,960 minutes or 2,937,600 seconds. Not that we're counting.
- Sean covered some updates on Wellwood and Mitchell. The Mitchell timetable for a decision remains towards the end of the week or the weekend; Vancouver remains in the mix, but the front runners are the Kings, Caps and Sharks.
- Clearly it was Manny Malhotra Wednesday. I posted this over at Canucks Army, then Canucks.com had a video interview with him and Derek Jory had some thoughts and lastly Hosea Cheung posted an article too.
- If you still care to ponder the impossible, the NHL is still investigating Luongo's contract.
- Can Guillaume Desbiens make the cut this season?
- Sad News: The Canucks sent condolences to the family of Dan Savage who wore #16 for Trevor Linden
- Sad News #2: Former referee Lloyd Gilmour died yesterday. He refereed the first Canucks game in 1970 and was well respected by folks from Jim Robson to Orland Kurtenbach.
- Vladimir Bure (Pavel's dad) has returned home to work with CSKA Moscow.
- Reminder: Laser pointers still suck.
- Want the skinny on the upcoming season from THN? From The Rink has you covered (again what are those locust swarms doing outside my window at this hour?)
- The NHL Development camp provides some hilarious photos.
- The Copper and Blue take a look at the concept of the top nine (known around here as the Hordichuk effect).
- Depth signings: The Panthers add Andrew Peters and Freddy Meyer inks a deal with Atlanta.
- Off topic: mascot down. I repeat, we have a mascot down.
- Off topic: this doesn't make me want to have a banana and this doesn't make me want to have a birthday.
Today's question: We all love Burrows, but looking around the NHL, who would make the best winger to compliment the Sedins and why?

To answer the question
My vote is Jarome.
Gotta play 'em, might as well win 'em.
"You had to have the BIG salad."
"Suit up."
"Eric, when your mom says are you ready for your catheter...the answer is no."
That's not a bad answer
I was thinking the best would be a power guy who can drive to the net and plant himself, though that’s far from what Burrows is. I think people underestimate Burrows speed and hands.

Evander Kane
Why? Did you really just ask that?
Also when burrows was on one of his crazy ass hot streaks he could be bumped down on to a line with Kesler and Mayray! Tell me that’s not a sweet line.
Also he one punched Matt Cooke
Oh and the chances we could get him – pretty good as he’s on the Thrashers and Wadell is probably a smart a GM as he was a coach…
atlanta is stockpiling black people, though.

He's big and physical ans
unlike a guy like Heatley or Gaborik he will go to the dirty areas plus he has sick hands and is a pure finisher.

He fits for sure
But his contract makes it next to impossible – Hence Evander Kane – plausible and possible
I thought the question
was which player would fit best hockey wise. I wasn’t factoring in cap issues.

Your probably right
but I like to keep it realistic. Besides the thrashers want Hansen, O’brien and Bieksa for Kane right?
Not sure who fills in until Salo is healthy but I'll leave him in for cap certainty

Heh, I thought of Nash when I was writing the question. I don’t watch enough of him play, but the size and nose for the net seems right. Unlike a lot of big guys he has sick hands too.

haven’t we played this game before?
I like the ability to shift between Alex Burrows and Mikael Samuelsson. However, if I had a pick of anyone with no Salary Cap implications, I would pick Rick Nash.
Right, forget the cap, just asking which player in the league right now do you think would compliment them the best.

Sorry if I sound like a stalker
but I seem to recall you saying you were British – do you post on the BBC 606 boards? I sometimes lurk on them and I seem to recall people going on about a ’Nucks fan called Azzy and I just love it when the internet proves to be a pretty small place.
I have a stalker :)
Yes it’s me – the one and only Azzy. Or Azzy Hamhuis, as I am currently known on 606…

*hides in the bushes*
Cool, cool. What are your thoughts on the whole Hull situation? I’m glad they don’t have to fold but I’m not sure if they knew that there was a chance they wouldn’t have a sponsor. If they did then they should have dropped down to the EPL, which since I understand they are always at/near the bottom of the standings may not be a bad idea anyway.
And there are a couple of new teams in the EPL so that should be exciting (the EIHL too, but I pay less attention to that since I’m a Manchester Phoenix fan).
I haven’t followed British hockey since c.2000, basically when my Solihull Blaze were stolen by Coventry.
I went to university at Hull so went several times to watch the Stingrays – I’m also glad they’re able to compete this season, though I’m not sure anyone knows what’s going on / how the situation is going to work / what happens when the Blaze play the Stingrays…the league has a lot of work to do there before Hull can get on the ice.
Now if the London Knights reformed, THEN I’d take more interest :)

Actually, Twitchy, I’ve been following the British league for a few years now. No idea of the level of hockey. I’ll just say that Moria was 47 years old when he retired, and let you draw your own conclusions.

Sydney Crosby. The dude is just always in the right place. Always. That’s basically the most important skill for playing with the Sedins.

I was disappointed that this line wasn’t tried out at the Olympics.
Zetterberg and Alfredsson would follow.
I know I’m going with the Swedish theme here, but it just seems like those three would be the best fit…regardless of nationality.

A joke I found amusing because I'm a geek:
Two atoms are walking down the street, when one atom bumps into the other atom.
The first atom says, “I think you took one of my electrons!”
And the second atom replies, “Really? Are you sure?”
And the first atom says, “Yes, I’m positive.”
Yeah
You WOULD find that funny. Good joke though.

OVERTIME
Hey what do you guys think about the research and development team looking into changing overtime?
5 minutes of 4 on 4, followed by 5 minutes of 3 on 3 preceding the shootout would be preferable to what we have now in my book.
Hell, why not do 10 minutes of each and screw the shootout all together?
5 minutes of 4 on 4, followed by 5 minutes of 3 on 3 preceding the shootout
Haven’t thought about it too much, but the idea is sound as a pound to me. I’m not sure how many games would even make the shootout if you had the elites out there for 3 on 3.

Exactly. At least it’s still hockey. Shootout’s are cool, but it’s just a type of skills competition, not hockey. At least 3 on 3 is hockey.
3 on 3 would eliminate I’m guessing about 90% of shootouts. I’m in!
