Finally, some good news...

Why he is not on the NHL roster?

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

Who could have predicted that Kesler would get hurt before we could trade him at the draft?

 

[nekyvGkOPaiWICTscLl6]

Yeah, that looked bad. If it's not a tear of his ACL/MCL I'll be happy.
If it's a sprain, he's still ****ed.

Terrible

 

[canuck4life16]

well at least he is skating

Kesler could be done for the season.

And all Slater gets is a 2-minute minor.

Nice.

It a conspiracy against Canucks so we can't trade him!

I hope he takes the rest of the season off regardless of the injury's severity.

Also, Slater probably won't even face a hearing.

Not even surprised.

The league doesn't care about anything unless it involves the head.

I was going to suggest that maybe the Canucks should keep trying to slew foot opposing star players, but the league would immediately make examples out of us and set new precedents.

 

[Johnny Canucker]

Dirt ball move for Slater to hang a knee. That stuff cant be in the game. He will get a 1 game suspension or less probably. Such a joke. What if we were a decent team this year and needed Kesler?

I guess its better it happened in this frankenstein of a year than in 2010/2011 etc

If we did that.....auto suspension for 5+ games

 

[polarbearcub]

What's the word on Richardson?

 

[PG Canuck]

What terrible news on Kesler. Hope it's nothing serious.

 

[canuck4life16]

What terrible news on Kesler. Hope it's nothing serious.

likely 2-3 weeks, if he going back to Vancouver it not short-term

 

[mrmyheadhurts]

Yeah, I suspect his season is likely over. That could've been the last game as a Canuck for him.

 

[jigsaw99]

lol could this season be a bigger joke? what a messsss

 

[Patchey*]

Arghhhhh... Let's hope it is not season ending and only 3 weeks max

 

[PG Canuck]

Biggest thing is that Kesler gets some games in before the season is over, otherwise his trade value may take a bit of a hit at the draft.
