Injury Report: Canucks Injury Thread - Mar. 12th - Kesler sent back to Vancouver for testing

[Wetcoaster]

Get a grip. We could all point fingers at PG Canuck, nail him and try to palm off responsibility for better content on others but ultimately we each have to knuckle down and lend a hand in contributing to the quality of this digit-al discussion.

Besides I bet if I thumbed through your history I could find some groaners.. We all make the mistake of thinking a pun is going to be cute-ical every now and then.

You did notice the emoticon in the post did you not? ""

I think he'll be out a handful of weeks.

 

[TheWanderer]

More like a bogus journey. Alberts is obv. faking it...

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Santo wont return this year, someone previously asked.

 

[Seatoo]

Daniel update?

 

[canuck4life16]

Daniel hurt during HC game unknown status

 

[David71]

looks to me he pulled a hamstring. likely done for the year.

 

[cooker24]

It's definitely his hamstring. Not sure of the severity. He was over at Rogers Arena being evaluated.

 

[MikeK]

Didn't look good. With only 19 games left in the season I wouldn't be surprised to see him shutdown for the rest of it. By the time he's ready to return it will likely be near the end and I am betting the Canucks will be far out of a playoff spot.

Daniel Sedin (left leg) could be out for a minimum of 3 weeks. #canucks #tvasports

Begs the question, does this make the Canucks more or less inclined to move Kesler?

More, because they have less of a chance to make it anyway.

less, because they need Kesler more than ever and still think they can make a run.

 

[canuck4life16]

It sends a bad message to the team that if kesler traded that the season is lstt so it better to keep him and somehow overcome the injuries.

Could this be a blessing in disguise? Use some advanced technology and improve Daniel's skating.

Daniel Sedin. Hockey player.

A man barely alive.

GMMG: Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Daniel Sedin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

This teams needs to win at least 14 of the last 19 games to make the playoffs. It's not happening, Kesler or not. Trade him and give Schroeder + some other young guys a look.

It is still possible..the team has said it again that they need to overcome injuries and win some games..their mindset is playoffs. Of course Daniel injury don't affect the offense much but it usually a sign to sell when a top 6 forward is gone

 

[earl grey]

Why are you guys still talking about making the playoffs? LOL

 

[Wetcoaster]

Daniel is scheduled for an MRI today. Cross your fingers. knock on wood, whatever...

[SnapIt]

If this injury convinces Gillis to keep Kesler over a substantial package, then he would be mistaken.

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Why are you guys still talking about making the playoffs? LOL

Been wondering the same thing. If management thinks they can actually make the playoffs they have lost their minds.

 

[MikeK]

yeah, playoffs are very unlikely.

 

[Wetcoaster]

yeah, playoffs are very unlikely.

Chances of making the play-offs currently at 17.32% per http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL.html

 

[RandV]

I had some hope for the team after the St. Louis game but after Ottawa with Daniel going down that pretty much kills it.

 

[parabola]

The Vancouver Canucks may be without one of their top scorers for the time being.

Yeah... Okay...

 

[ihaveyuidonttouchme]

Yeah... Okay...

top scorers? there's no such thing
