i wonder how they treat an mcl sprain for a pro athlete. i had one and they immobilized my knee with a brace for a month. it healed perfectly, but it took a while to get that leg back in shape afterwards.

Yep, that's the treatment alright....in my case it was a cast for two weeks than a brace....as soon as I saw Edler try to hit Ehlers from the side and then the knee wobbled, I knew that's exactly what he had done....a fairly common injury for hockey players....the knee just won't move side to side much before the ligaments get stretched....fortunately no tear, otherwise he'd be gone for the season.....but can't remember the last time Edler played a full season....but at least it happened early in the season and they get a look at Pouliot.

There is no excuse for Jake or Brock to be sitting. There enough veterans on this team that could be sitting instead.

They would be better off in Utica if they aren't going to play.

But then he would have to go get his stuff...just a hassle.

I was thinking Tkachuk gonna score a few goals, then I realized we have OJ guarding him so we should be alright.

Juolevi was demoted to a european league so thats a big NO

And if he was playing hes not good enough to defend someone like Tkachuck who is a far superior ice hockey player

teeheehee I know, I was being sarcastic. And just like you said even if OJ is here to guard Tkachuk we're pretty f***ing far from "alright".

Maybe Smith will let in half a dozen soft goals again.

Can people that pay to go to the games start a fire management chant please?

y2kcanucks · Oct 14, 2017

Hoping for a big Calgary win tonight. They got blown out last night so hopefully they're angry about that and come out strong tonight. 10-0 Calgary would be nice

Yeah virtanen sure looked uninvolved in his 3rd period "ice time"...

He was uninvolved for most of the game before that, which probably contributed to the only 7 seconds, but yes id rather have him playing over Eriksson/Gagner like everybody else here

5-2 Flames our goals by Boeser and Horvat

Megaterio Llamas · Oct 14, 2017

And once again it's a contest featuring the youthful energy and skill of the Calgary Flames vs the veteran guile of those Vancouver Canucks.

I can't wait to see the attendance for this one, such a compelling match up.

3-2 Flames, hat trick Tkachuk... just to piss off M2B

Both Canuck goals by Virtanen... just to further piss of M2B.

That should piss all Canucks fans off including whoever M2B is which I hope your not meaning me cause remember I changed my username

I'm going to the game against the Wings.

I'll see what I can do.

Kirk Mclean · Oct 14, 2017

Was thinking about going to this one tonight but them sitting JV made it an easy decision to keep my money. I hate to sound so pessimistic but i actually hope the attendance is just as bad as thursday so the national audience can see how pissed off these fans are. Hoping they even mention it on one of the panels tbh.

Oliewud · Oct 14, 2017

i'd actually be stoked to watch this team if we had tkachuk right now

tkachuk horvat boeser would be legit

10-3 - Brock with the hat trick, 3 assists for Bo and Sven

-10 on the night for Sutter and Eriksson. They decide to both void their contracts and head to Europe for the remainder of the season.

VancouverJagger · Oct 14, 2017

Going to the game tonight - paid close to $500 for my tickets.........wish I didn't now that Jake is sitting. Geezus.........our youth is about the only thing we have to get excited about.

That is f***ing insane

Well, at least we know that Green's tenure as canucks head coach is going to be short if he keeps this up.

Why would you say that? Willie somehow lasted 3 seasons, and Benning and Linden are still employed after 3+ years and it doesn't sound like they're on the hotseat.

Because if fans turn on Green it would also mean they will boot Benning out the door. I think this is his last year/2nd last year on contract.

I predict at the start of next season we'll see a New GM, New coach, same President.

Willie rode that 1 year of playoffs hype for the last 2 seasons. Travis Green has been riding his only real successful season (where he got carried by Markstrom) for the past 3 years.

Plus fans are starting to slowly not show up to game, which increases the process of management getting fired. Also, we are the laughing stock of the league right now. That won't stop anytime soon. I think changes are going to happen fast.

Normally I'd agree, but logic doesn't seem to apply to this organization anymore. At this point it seems more likely that Benning will be given a contract extension than fired.
