UPDATE: Andrew Raycroft will start for the Stars. (h/t kesrows)

With the Canucks' defence ailing it is a huge relief to hear that Dan Hamhuis may be ready to play by Saturday's game against the Stars and Keith Ballard is to skate with the team any day now. But there are no guarantees on the timeline.

The Stars have key injuries of their own, but mostly on their forward ranks. Brad Richards and Jamie Benn (still injured from the last time these teams met) and the butt munch Adam Burish are out for Dallas. What's worse is their healthy forwards are cold (see below). Ribeiro, Neal and Eriksson are not producing. Dallas has lost their last 3 straight and 7 of their last 8. They have only scored 4 goals in their last 3. They have only scored 3 goals in their 3 losses to the Canucks this season. Ouch.

Vancouver's top guns of the Sedins, Burrows, Kesler have not been putting up their usual amount of points over the Canucks' last few games either.

Columbus really left it all on the ice though, but I do have to admit, I thought the Hawks would come back in the 3rd.

We have Keith / Seabs and Campbell / Hjalmarsson that is the same as last year. It’s that third pairing we can’t trust. Leddy is just too green. Boynton is more of a liability than anything else and I think Hendry could be pretty solid if he had the right partner. Keith definitely needs to be playing fewer minutes this year. Our Norris caliber defenseman has definitely left the building.

We need someone who is an actual center. No more of those well he’s a forward, but he played center in college things. We were kind of excited to get Frolik and were told he was a center. He’s even listed as a center on our roster. What does he say? I haven’t played center in years. Ugh. We also need a stay at home D man. Keith and Campbell like to wander a bit much, but that’s why they are paired with Seabs and Hjalmarsson. Also when our core is performing well this year (Toews and Kane were on fire tonight) the ancillary players don’t show up and vice versa. It may be cliche but it’s just not clicking this year.

Maybe. The same players that were so good just don’t make the big play at the right time any more.

Columbus deserves big credit tonight though. They checked like banshees.

Maybe thats a big part of it too.

Everyone gets “up” to play the Hawks now.

That, and their home record absolutely sucks this year.

Can you see why NM is my happy place now?

Yes I said it. I didn’t even choke this time, but it is true. I love my team, but I would rather be able to discuss hockey (and have our little nerdfests) with people who aren’t constantly bitching about every player and every line and jumping off the ledge after every game.

I occasionally rip on Blasthoff but I don’t even really have a reason to complain. Most people around here try to keep an even keel and keep things in perspective.

I always like the books over the movies, well…usually.

The Dune books for instance. Movies just could never hold a candle to Frank Herbert…and Piers Anthony…Hollywood has never picked up on him, for some reason.

I’m not really sure why I didn’t read sci fi growing up. I read LOTR when I was in grade school and I did read Dune in high school.

About the same for me. I gravitated to the sci-fi, while my brother was more into the fantasy…but I liked some of those too.

Piers Anthony

I bet he’s a pain in the ass about film rights. (He much prefers film lefts, as they tend to be more lonely.) Wait til he dies, then you’ll be up to your ears in 3D Xanth movies.

Which is why I love the books way more. I thought the third movie sucked because it differed so much from the book. I liked Two Towers the best of all the movies.

I just try to think of them as two

separate entities. The books and the movies. Anyone who has read the Bourne books knows the movies were almost completely different. I think the only thing they didn’t change was his name. I liked both a lot. But like I say I just try to separate the two.

The thing with Tom Bombadil was so cool in the books, and its where they get a weapon that kills a Nazgul…was just disappointed

But I try to do the same as you. Keep them separate.

I remember seeing the movie

shortly after re-reading the book and not being bothered by it. I just think it was a tough section to condense and it was way too long to include. It’s tough when making a movie out of those books. You could have made each of them 6 hours long and still left stuff out.

By the way, if anyone bothered to claim him, it’s doubtful the Canucks would get the chance because we’re top of the standings. I could see the Habs picking him up with their own defencemen woes.

Colorado moves are making me lol. Really wondering what it means for my cousin – he was drafted by them in the fifth round, started the year in the NHL before being sent down, and is on a tear in the minors.

Also Hamhuis is back Tuesday, and Ballard is looking good. I certainly would not be upset seeing these two back in the line up and having an actual shut down pairing again (Salo + Ehrhoff doing too much).
