No Henrik at #Canucks practice

 

[Nuckles]

I accidentally herpderped and made this the GDT this morning. THE GAME IS TOMORROW, SORRY IF I CONFUSED ANY OF YOU.

This won't come as a shock, but Henrik Sedin's ironman streak is over. #canucks captain won't play versus #oilers.

Sami Salo 2.0. Man, the Sedins are so soft.

The tweet is gone, is there a chance...

He deleted it and posted it again, he made a typo (Flames instead of Oilers)

 

[VanCanucks53]

Kind of sad to see the ironman streak over but really it's insignificant. I'd rather he heal up.

Agreed. Now we can all stop talking about it and hank can just get better

 

[Nuckles]

I added a tribute to the OP. It was a good run.

 

[Barney Gumble]

I say Daniel should just wear Hank's jersey....who's going to know?

That's actually not a bad idea

Heal up Henrik

Henrik, man, what a run, I hope the Canucks find a way for the fans to acknowledge and appreciate an incredible streak.

This must be killing him by the way.

Puck Daddy and former Canuck fan Harrison Mooney with his take:

This is, after all, the guy that went along with a plan to play 22 seconds in a meaningless late game a few seasons back just so he could rest along with his linemates without losing his streak. He claims it matters more to trainer Mike Burnstein, but that's a crock. This streak means so much to Henrik he was willing to see himself expire before it did.

It's official, the Sedins will have shots taken at them no matter what. An admirable and impressive streak and writers are basically mocking him for caring and questioning the legitimacy of the streak. I also love that this Harrison guy thinks he knows Henrik's body better than he does. If it was Crosby there would be a ticker tape parade for him gutting it out and playing through injuries. However, Henrik is simply a selfish player who was trying to preserve a streak for his own ego.

News from practice:

Henrik Sedin will not make the trip to Edmonton. He is listed as day-to-day.

Schroeder, Stanton took the morning skate.

 

[TruKnyte]

Man I hope Henrik heals up quick, give him a shot of whatever Stamkos is taking

 

[polarbearcub]

Looks like stants and Jordan could be in.

Harrison Mooney isn't a human being with genuine opinions about hockey, he's an SEO bot that can be fed a list of athletes names and quickly generate superficially counterintuitive/controversial 'hot takes' that can be posted to blogs in order to drive search results/serve ad content etc.

Day to day now. Travelling but not playing by the looks of it.

 

[MrShift4]

I am actually really happy Henrik is sitting. Get rest and get right!

 

[m9]

Getting Stanton back will be nice.

That said, Weber has filled in alright the last couple weeks. Scored a big goal and played some big minutes the other night. Tries to play physical despite not having the body to do it.

Here's my back-handed compliment of the day - Weber is really good at getting back when he gets burned in the offensive zone. He has good speed and great acceleration, so when he makes his a bad play or pinch he's gotten back in a hurry.

hes also pretty funny

Daniel needs to pick it up. He's been playing like a mediocre player for 2 months now. On pace for 64 points.

 

[arttk]

Can we put Schroeder and Stanton back in ? It's the Oilers anyways, won't be too different than a no touch scrimmage.

 

[VanCanucks53]

Ugh Puck daddy. I try to stay clear of everything and everyone involved with that blog.
