Canuck coach Alain Vigneault is expected to brief reporters later today on the status of Kesler and defenceman Keith Ballard, who also missed practice after leaving Wednesday's game with a back injury.
That from the Vancouver Sun. Kesler was not at practice. Luongo practiced early but it was not a full practice for him. Vigneault, according to Tony Gallagher was bag skating the boys this morning and calling them out.
Also, Eddie Lack has been sent back down to Chicago. The Canucks don't play again until Sunday.
Update: Via the Canucks twitter feed: Mason Raymond has been cleared for contact, Luongo is day to day, no timetable for Ballard's return (back) and Kesler (shoulder) should be ready to play on Sunday.

Who knows that will manage to light a fire under the collective asses on the players on this team. Its not like they can look back at the season so far and be proud of it! And a difference from other teams that play bad but can’t help it, we can! This team is so much better…

What, that Raymond is cleared for contact?
It is pretty swell!
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Uh-oh. Salary cap issues!

I think we are good. I’m pretty sure Raymond was never put on LTIR
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
yeah, just did some research. He wasn’t put on the LTIR.

Of course
It does create Line up issues!
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
MayRay might start on the 4th line like he played in the playoffs…
Sedins – Burr
Higgins – Kes- Booth
Booth – Lappy – Hodgson
Hansen – Malhotra – MayRay
Those are our top 12 forwards. AV’s a genius. Since our 4th line sucks, let’s not field one!

Booth is so fast he’s on two lines at once
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
lol I was wondering why 2 4th liners had been dropped to let one guy in for Vancouverguy’s lineup for some reason didn’t see Booth twice right away
Go Canucks Go!
……. fuck me. In my defense, that was me, pre-caffiene.

Once you come to the Canucks
You are no longer durable

nol...once a defenceman
comes to the canucks he is no longer durable

Apparently
Mark Recchi felt the need to go on a Boston radio show today to exclaim the Canucks were the most arrogant team he’d faced in 22 years in the NHL. Anyone else getting sick of:
a) this nonsense from the Bruins
b) Mark Recchi himself? From his amateur practice as a physician to spouting off after he’s safely retired, this guy has last the last ounce of my respect I had for him. He’s a fucking joke and an embarrassment to Kamloops. Wanna talk arrogant? Let’s talk some of those Penguin teams you were on, scumbag. Fuck you, Mark.

and kudos
to the Bruins absolutely destroying the Hawks in the ‘sore winner’ contest. pathetic.

Why are we getting so worked up?
What he said was 100% true
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
The Canucks should be forced to listen to him say that
And then maybe they’ll do something about it
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Hey we don’t know the team personally. Maybe Recchi was right. We don’t know. Even so, what was the point in bringing that up?

He was mainly talking about the way they played
I.e. the diving, whining, etc.
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
If Recchi is doing an interview in Boston, you know the Canucks are going to come up. So it’s not like he sought out this topic.
I don’t buy the arrogance thing though. Obviously I don’t know these players personally, but I’ve followed the team for 10 years. I’d like to think I have a decent read on the personality/character of the team.
However, Recchi’s recent experience with the Canucks is 1 reg season game and 7 SCF games. Based on the shenanigans of the latter 7, I could see how he got that impression.
Aaron Rome once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels.
How does
“whining and diving” get construed as arrogance. Fuck off, Dr. Recchi.
I'll do it tomorrow, that seems like a pretty good idea to me
What's wrong with tomorrow, I'm watching him but who's watching me?
No you misunderstood
He meant they were whining, diving AND arrogant. Personally, when someone who played in the league that long and has nothing to gain from lying says something, I listen.

he has nothing to gain from lying
nor does he have anything to lose either (ie get the crap beaten out of him).
He may be right, but he’s a total asshole.

It's just
one opposing player’s opinion. And you know what they say about opinions.
Warm winds blowing, heating blue sky, and a road that goes forever...
funny. I used the same line in the Recchi post. I never saw your comment.

I don’t think any are going to compare to Patrik Stefan’s unless the other team scores and wins in OT. That one was pretty bad though.
Patrik Stefans? Or Jokinen’s? He’s lucky his team won in OT……
