Canucks May Need To Finish Series Without Hamhuis

PrintI've created a stir on Twitter because I have heard today (and this is the "joy" of living in Smithers) that Dan Hamhuis' injury, which I'm hearing is his groin, is serious and that he is out for the remainder of the playoffs. Whether it's his groin or his ribs it really doesn't matter. Hammer has not practiced with the team since the injury occurred in Game 1 and like Dan Murphy said on Twitter moments ago: that isn't good.
Murphy is trying to contact the team for confirmation but you know he's going to get either the "day-to-day" line from Alain Vigneault or the "erroneous" from Mike Gillis. Hey, if the source I heard it from is wrong I will be happy. But watch the clip of the hit again:
Maybe Lucic's knee smashes his ribs during the check. But it looks more to me like as soon as Hammer lands on his feet again and puts weight on that left leg...down he goes. And he was limping badly when he was heading to the dressing room. I know Elliot Papp was saying that Hammer was not limping when he boarded the charter for Boston yesterday but...
We'll see. Just so you know though: the Canucks are 13-6 when Hamhuis was not in the lineup this year (and that's counting OT/SO losses as outright losses). Lots of depth on D!

One good thing about this post: it buries that damned naked Burrows photoshop further down the page!

This is absolutely a good thing.
If I make a fanpost that says “This FanPost Is Designed Solely to Get AMFB’s Fake Naked Body Down The Page”, it should be immediately promoted to the mainpage, for that very reason. :)

agreed - I normally leave a window to this site open here at work...
not a good idea today with the WAACHs shenanigans…
Sorry if this is an ignorant question
But what does living in Smithers get you?
As much “information” (ie. whoever can speak and says something) on Hamhuis as you can handle. Tough to keep what’s legit from what isn’t with the local hero!

Well, that and some very beautiful country

I don’t understand the question. Do I get any quirks? Is that what you are asking?

I think
He isn’t aware that Hamhuis is from Smithers and that you have connections in the Smithers community
"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!"
"You can't come in my kitchen, kick my dog, and take a box full of ballpoints! Your ass must be crazy!"
Sorry
I wasn’t aware that Hamuis is from Smithers and you have inside info as a result…
ah!

I hear a lot of things about Hammer here. But I know who I can “trust”.
I hate being this guy though. I almost wish I said nothing. But at least it prompts Dan Murphy to go digging!

there is some kinda
banking or money laundering connection, and something to do with some cows and a 83 chevelle. Somehow this all leads to inside information. But you’d have to ask zandberg

Well that really sucks. I think he was our best dman, but a lot of the things he does go unnoticed with the msm so he doesn’t get talked about much. He probably likes it that way though seeing as he’s a pretty quiet guy.
We won game 2 without him though, and we can win this series too. We have a competent team, a deep D and we are built to overcome injuries on the backend. We can do this. I think it would be tougher had we been facing Tampa because their forwards are so much faster.
Go Canucks Go!

I read on Twit that it was the same lines as Game 2.

uhhhhhh
nope. He’s been awful. Look at the scoring chances against. Look at last night. Rome has been a big liability in this series.

Doesn't look good
But this is the type of adversity any team must face heading this far into the playoffs.
I think our defensive depth will see us through this. Reall would you rather have Canucks blueline without Hammer, or the one Boston has now?
Win it for Manny!

Rome
If I am Julien and the Bs I am fucking chomping at the bit to play against this pylon. Load up a line, and throw them at whatever side this guy is on… Overload him, hit him, make him give up the puck to KB (who can get flustered pretty easily)…
Blind Faith was a great band… not a great way to chose your FUCKING roster though.
Rome and Alberts both in the line up
While certainly adheres to AV’s philosophy of having ‘solid’ guys rounding out the bottom 6 (I know Rome played top 4 last game) is a marked drop in footspeed. We need more speed, not less. What does Ballard have to do to get in the line up? Personally i love that guy. His two playoff moments so far? 1. That rush up the ice against Nashville where he absolutely destroyed Suter going for the rebound. 2. That hipcheck on McGinn. The hit of the playoffs so far.

-Jack Donaghy
And then
He had turnovers, bad passes, and just stuck out like a sore thumb defensively when he wasn’t making those hits. Maybe it’s how he plays or maybe it’s just because he hasn’t been playing a lot and he’s getting rusty or nervous… but Ballard wasn’t making the best decisions out on the ice when he did play during these playoffs.

If this is the case, Hamhuis is on the trip because they might win the Cup in Boston. Did Sammy go too?
yep! Sammy is there too
