Update: X-Rays on Alexandre Burrows' foot came back negative after the Flames game but there is still discomfort there. He will have a CT scan done today to make sure there is no structural damage. If there is a problem there, or if there is too much pain to put a skate on and skate Burrows will not play tonight. (The Province). If he cannot play the Canucks will play a forward short due to salary cap restrictions.

we ate at an awesome place
here in Seattle last night (Copperleaf restaurant near SeaTac…check it out if u get the chance; the food was very very good) and they had an option for either the regular menu or the valentines menu. Funny, the valentines menu was 75 bux a person, and we pretty much ate the same thing off the a la carte menu (minus one course) for like 90 bux for the two of us. And that included a couple drinks.

Speculation?
If Burrows is out for the game, I’d say put Tambo with the twins and bring up Hodgson again to play on the 4th. Move Glass up to the 3rd line because Torres doesn’t deserve to be there.
Or better yet, call up Billy Sweatt for the 2nd line and move up Sammy. Too bad Sweatt’s a left winger, so I don’t actually see that as a possibility.

Today Lambert wrote about how Grabner was just a throw in, in the Ballard trade. On one hand, it’s easy to argue that Bernier was never really worth that much, nor was the 1st pick when we had nothing available. But then again, the Panthers waived Grabner, so did they really see his value in the trade?
I would argue that the Canucks saw his value, but also viewed him as expendable because they already have a strong top-6. I don’t know what the Panthers thought they were getting in him, though.
That said, I love his twitter account and that’s probably the main reason I miss him being in the Canucks’ system.
So don't get violent and don't get caught with your head down, the night she stole the moon.
by thelastjohnny on Feb 14, 2011 8:10 AM PST up reply actions
he is totally expendable
because the Canucks don’t need another speedy scoring winger. What they need are dependable two way forwards. Sure, Raymond’s goal scoring has dried up, but his speed makes room for Kesler (who has a wicked shot) and he’s a pretty good PKer too.
It’s way to early to be talking too much about Grabner. I love what he is doing but is renowned as streaky. He could dry up at any second

I’m pretty sure Grabner wasn’t a throw in. You wouldn’t be able to land Oreo and Ballard for just a mid-20s 1st round pick. Grabner had value as a) a former 1st round pick with low cap hit, b) probably included so Florida would be willing to pick up Bernier’s contract.
It’s all good for him right now, but I agree with Section. He’s a good guy to have on bad teams, but a bad fit for good teams.

There are 82 games in a season. If you want to watch every single one of them, more power to you. I don’t have the opportunity to watch all of them. Usually I’m able to record them and catch up with what’s happening, but since I’m blocked out of some games this year since they’re on snet 1, it doesn’t leave me a lot of options. I get frustrated with watching games on an online feed because of the lag and the picture cutting out, so for me, there’s no point. If you have the patience for it, then great.
Bottom line, hockey is my entertainment. It’s not entertaining for me if I can’t follow the puck and the play on the ice properly.

Fair enough. Everyone’s got a different method for watching hockey. I know a few people who are obsessive Canucks fans in that they read everything Canucks related but only watching 4 or 5 games a month until April, then they are glued to the tv. They get just as jacked for those games as I do, they just don’t consider the regular season to mean anything.

Are they fairly recent Canuck fans??
Cause for me I am never convinced they are going to make the playoffs until they actually clinch. So regular season games, which was all I had for a lot of my life, are meaningful for me.

Nope, been fans for 20 odd years a couple of them. They just don’t care about how the team is playing until it’s close to the playoffs. They feel like the team isn’t going to show their true colours until it’s time to watch them down the stretch and see what they’re really made of and what kind of team they are. I kind of get it, because there’s so many ups and downs during the season, and they are just not worried about how the first 60 – 65 games play out.

most of us here would agree with your sentiment on this. I don’t get how someone can call themselves a ‘huge fan’ but only at playoff time. A fan enjoys watching the games…win or lose. A bandwagonner only watches when they’re winning.

Sammywith the winner. 3-1, Canucks.
I see this as a troublesome game unlike some of you. Halak seems to love to play against us, when we lost to them in Dec, we were cruising along, and they were hit hard by injuries too. We always seem to have trouble playing against them for some reason, and again it won’t be the first time Halak stops one of our streaks.
On a much happier note, Sammy finally got fed up with Sean jumping on his lack of production and is finally showing all of us what he’s capable of. Did you know he’s now on pace to exceed last year’s career year numbers? Actually, I’d say he has a very good chance of besting them, seeing as how well our PP is doing, and his play on the blue line’s been pretty good.

Zero risk isn't entirely correct
Medically cleared does not mean zero risk for concussions, it means based on one or two medical assessments he is, in the best judgment of the doctor, OK to play. With concussions, while there are medical tests, some of the diagnosis also depends on the individual who is injured telling the doctor. If Hammer doesn’t communicate certain symptoms for whatever reason, then the medical analysis is not made with full facts.
There is still a margin of error as we have seen in the past (Savard). Giving him some extra time to recover has very little downside besides possible overall team performance decreasing in a marginal way and Hamhuis’ conditioning taking a slight hit.
You make a valid point, but I think some room for error should be considered in making these sorts of decisions.
If I made the decisions
I would tell Hammer that if he is healthy he plays. If he isn’t healthy he doesn’t play until given the all clear.

If doctors say he is ready
and he feels good and is symptom free then he can play. Giving him extra rest at that point is meaningless. It doesn’t accomplish anything. It just means he gets a few days off but it doesn’t do anything in terms of his head. I am sure there is built in margin for error when the doctors declare him medically ready to play. So again why give him extra time off if he is ready?

Again, it’s hard to say. Look at Marc Savard. How many times has he tried to come back after being medically cleared, only to have things flare up again?
Even if they are asymptomatic, there can be lingering damage and patients can get another hit to the head and regress with even worse concussions as a result.
Concussions are difficult things to deal with and can be inflamed and worsened ever so easily. The best way to prevent future occurrence is copious amounts of rest coupled with strict avoidance of contact.

Oh shit
doctors are wrong some times. I guess what we should do is if anyone ever gets hurt no matter how minor the injury is we will sit them out for the rest of the season so they are healthy next year and that way we can avoid the doctors possibly being wrong. If they say he is good to go then he goes. That’s how hockey should work.

That’s just a silly comparison. Concussions and head injuries are completely different as diagnosis and treatment are far more difficult.
Someone said since this would be Hamhuis’s first concussion, he might not notice the symptoms, so it’s best to sit him out a week just in case. It’s not a matter of the doctors being wrong, but a player thinking they can play through it.

They have baseline tests
from the pre-season physicals that they compare with his current tests. If he hasn’t had a symptom in a set amount of time and his tests are the same as those baseline tests then he is cleared to play. He might think he can play through it but they can still tell if he is ready to play or not. These are doctors after all. And while there is still a lot we don’t know about concussions we still know enough to know that when they say he is ready to play he is ready to play. And believe me as someone whose first concussion was pretty mild you can still tell you have symptoms.

Do concussion symptoms always affect results in these tests? Or can they be somewhat more latent and discovery mostly dependent on the injured individual telling the doctor he is experiencing symptoms?
That I don't know

Savard has come back
when cleared to play and been hit in the head. That happens. If you want to not have Hamhuis get hit in the head you can either clear him to play when healthy and hope for the best or he can retire. No matter how much rest he gets his chances of a re-occurrence are the same if he is hit in the head. So again what is the point of the extra rest? You are hurting the team and there is no guarantee that if he gets hit in the head he will avoid another concussion. So play him it is his job after all.

Further rest
increases the likelihood that the damage has healed sufficiently to reduce the risk of a subsequent concussion doing larger damage down the road.
These sorts of things tend to build in consequence. Repeated blows to the head have the chance of becoming much worse.
It’s not an absolute “retire or play” thing. More time for recovery merely protects Hamhuis in the case there is lingering damage which is undetected by doctors.
I understand what you are saying and Medical Clearance should be a clear sign that he is soon ready to play. But he isn’t on LTIR so the Canucks are not cheating the system if they sit him an extra week after clearance to keep things safe.
Having had a concussion
he now is at increased risk of another one if he receives a blow to the head. The increased risk doesn’t decrease with rest. To be honest if he was willing to sit out an extra week for meaningless rest I wouldn’t want him on my team. And if our management is willing to allow guys extra time even when they are healthy I would worry about what other leeway they are allowing.

re Having had a concussion: No, you are right. It increases the likelihood of future concussions. But recent concussions which have yet to heal are more likely to to be aggravated and result in worse consequences going forward. Since it is hard to diagnose complete recovery, it seems to be prudent to tack on some extra time to ensure nothing recur rs after medical clearance.
re Healthy rest: I don’t disagree with you. The point is, we don’t know if he is healthy because it is so hard to correctly diagnose the problem. Medically cleared to play should be a strong indication, but shouldn’t be the end of the inquiry, given the margin of error in diagnosing these sorts of injuries.
Right but what I am saying
is that these are doctors so I am sure they are tacking on that extra time already. Don’t you have to be symptom free for a certain number of days before being cleared to play?? So why give him extra extra rest just for the hell of it? Just cause we can afford to? Not good enough for me. You still have to ice the best lineup possible and try to get better every game and avoid bad habits.

I don't doubt it
but my point is, it’s not for the hell of it and not because we can afford to. It’s because all teams, regardless of their place in the standings or playoff position should take concussions extremely serious and factor in extra caution in budgeting returns to the lineup.
Doctors make mistakes and are not always accurate about diagnosing even minor injuries and illnesses. A bit of extra caution merely adds a buffer to that time.
I am aware that what I am suggesting is difficult to assess, but adding an additional week or so post-clearance seems to just be prudent management of a player’s long term health.
frankly
as a fan of the canucks, I’m more than OK with him taking ‘extra rest’ after a minor concussion and before the playoffs. 100% fine with it. Take another few games if u need em.

I agree about the motivation
I just disagree that you should put him right back on the ice as soon as the doctors medically clear him. That is a necessary prerequisite to play, not a sufficient one.
You shouldn’t rest him simply to rest him for the playoffs – using medical reasons to simply give rest is dishonest and inappropriate. It should be rationally connected to ensuring that he is fully healed from his concussion to prevent further recurrence – he is paid a lot of money but that does mean we can be cavalier with his health.
I am not being cavalier
with his health. If he is clear to play. Play him. Simple stuff.

I figured as much, hence why I said poor choice of words on my part.
I also agree with you that considering where we are in the standings or even playoffs should have no place in determining when the concussed player returns to the lineup.
My point of disagreement is only on the fact that all teams, regardless of whether they “need” the player or not, should add extra caution in how they handle concussions. They shouldn’t be able to put someone on IR when they have received medical clearance, but they should keep the guy out of play for some additional time to be careful, as concussions are so difficult in so many ways, with potentially horrendous consequences for the player involved.

England won the Ashes in 2010 and 2011
England won the Six Nations in 2003 and have won the most Six Nations with 25
England won 47 (including 19 gold) medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics good for 4th overall.
England does not “fail miserably” in international competitions. Lawyered!!!

6 nations = only 6 teams can win
that’s like the leafs talking about how many stanley cups they’ve won
when not a single one of them were post- original 6 era
The Ashes is a tournament that is between only England and Australia
so they should win at least 50% of the time. In the last 10 years, they have only won 3. That’s not impressive at all.
Winning anything once 45 years ago is just too far in the past. I guess Uruguay is clearly a far superior soccer country to England since they won two World Cups in the 1930s?
The world cup of rugby and the quality performance in Beijing are legit. But you also fail to mention that it’s been 18 years since an Englishman won the British Open, and it’s been 72 years since an Englishman won Wimbledon (or any other Grand Slam tennis tourney). So overall, not a particularly impressive international sporting nation.
by Beantown Canuck on Feb 14, 2011 2:33 PM PST up reply actions
A hell of a lot more impressive
than Canada who haven’t won ANY world cups in Rugby or Soccer or any other important international tournament outside of the sport of hockey.
Want to compare the number of Tennis and Golf majors won between Canada the England?? Or even just Tennis tournaments?? Golf tournaments??
There are 3 Englishmen in the World Golf Rankings Top 10. Top Canadian??
All Time Olympic medals won? Great Britian is 4th. Canada is 15th.
Should I go on??

All time Olympic medals
Is not a fair comparison. For one, England has been around competing for a lot longer, they have a higher population, smaller geographic spread (reduces training cost)

How is it excuse making? More money = better training/equipment/athlete funding = more results.
Canada doesn’t fund amateur athletics to the level the UK does, and it shows in the results.
And I would agree that Britain is better. But the fact that they have been a country for, oh I don’t know, a couple hundred years longer than Canada also factors in.
Hell, I almost had dual citizenship with them.

To me it's an excuse
Canada has the money to spend and they choose not to. So if you don’t get the results at international level it’s your own fault for not funding athletes. The top nations win medals and the shit ones don’t. Whatever the reasons Canada is a shit nation at international sport outside of hockey.
And I don’t see why the country being older makes a difference. Canada has been around long enough and is populous enough and rich enough to be similar to Australia in sport. And we aren’t.

yes but
Philly is going to have a low pick anyways. That being said, it’s still a first rounder and high picks aren’t always busts…
I much prefer the Detroit model: Draft and develop, supplement with signings & avoid trading draft picks. Seems to work.
oh god,
I rather have him go anywhere (in the East) than Philly — can’t stand a good portion of that team, and I like Versteeg…..

They will be good next year too
if the cap goes up as expected by 3 million they will have roughly 5 million to fill out their remaining bottom 6 forwards and maybe a D man which is only 2-3 players that they need to fill out. Plus a raise for Carcillo if they want to keep him. Not too bad.

and they ridded themselves of Gagne’s contract last summer… yeah, it’s going to take a huge upset for someone in the East to beat them. Is it just me or do more upsets happen in the East anyway? Look at what the Habs did riding a hot goaltender last spring.

WSH’s weaknesses
You mean a complete inability to play anything remotely considered defence and play a propensity to play a highly predictable and easy to shut down defensive system?
Washington was ripe for an upset in the playoffs. Damn the torpedos and send in the superstars works great in the regular season, but come playoffs, it doesn’t work so hot.
Naaah…not really.
Their #1 PP let them down…something like 1-32 in that series.
Everyone has 20/20 hindsight, but no one was saying the Caps would lose to the Habs…

and why
did their #1 PP let them down? Because they had….
a propensity to play a highly predictable and easy to shut downdefensiveoffensive system?
(i fixed something there)
Don Cherry made a very good point after the conclusion of that series. That Washington was playing a system which essentially break into the zone, make some flashy moves and shoot. There was no effort to get traffic to the front of the net and no effort to cycle and maintain puck movement.
Montreal blocked a hell of a lot of shots that series too.
Just saying everybody says " I knew it"…when every expert and most non Habs fans were predicting a sweep for the Caps.

again
You are right, and it just proves their offensive system was easy to play against and shut down.
I don’t think many of us saw it coming, but in hindsight it isn’t as surprising given these facts…
I was more surprised by the Bruins blowing a 3-0 series lead actually.
Blocking shots hurts. I guess its all about paying the price, and the Habs sure did that…in the playoffs.
I guess what we are both saying is Boudreau got out coached right? ;-)

What you said sums up my point exactlty
WSH was destroying teams on the backs of their superstars, and I didn’t think Montreal was capable of shutting the stars down while scoring enough to beat the Caps. The series was tight and it reflected what it took for the Habs to beat WSH. Complete dedication to the game strategy to a man and containment of the Caps’ explosive forwards.

To me
That is their one weakness, if its a weakness at all. And the chances of it being a weakness are lessened by their beastly defense!
if the Canucks meet them in the playoffs they should focus on throwing everything and the stove at Bob and Boosh.

Goaltending is not overrated
but it is not the be all and end all. Witness Chicago. If you have a strong back-end, all you need is decent goaltending. Look at Niemi. I can’t even begin to compare him with Roberto Luongo, and yet Niemi has the cup ring from last year because he had a very strong defence (d-men and system) in front of him, whereas the Canucks had shaky depth and a weaker commitment to disciplined team play.
Boucher and Brobovsky are not Patrick Roys, Marty Brodeurs or Roberto Luongos, but the Flyers have a good team where they only have to be good enough – and they are certainly up to that task.
