Post-Game Talk: GM 49 | Vancouver Canucks defeat Columbus Blue Jackets | 5-2 | Pettersson(2), Hughes, Mikheyev, & Joshua

WHOA wtf!

What the f***

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

IT would make sense if Bo is traded just before the Allstar break so his family would have time to move and settle into a new city

That would be crazy to trade him before the all star game..not a good look.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

I thought he’s pretty decent, considering such an injury

No kidding. He was on a 40-point, 20-goal pace and was skating miles. To have needed surgery the whole time is insane.

 

[Gstank]

Torn ACL and at a .5PPG clip. Thats honestly impressive

 

[Hansen]

Wtf why was Mikheyev playing??

 

[krutovsdonut]

canucks have a lot of ltir to take a short salary dump.

 

[Brock Boeser Laser Show]

Does this open up additional cap space to take on a bad contract for a draft pick? Or maybe play 3rd party on a kane/Toews trade to a contender?

 

[wonton15]

If he played like that needing ACL surgery… that was incredibly impressive then.

And incredibly stupid on management/doctors?

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

Brock Boeser

FACTS

 

[Canucks LB]

So many people gave him shit for this, he knew

 

[canuckking1]

For all the hate he gets defensively Hughes leads the team in +\-

 

[arttk]

What the f***

How do you play 40ish games with a f***ed is ACL?

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

WHOA wtf!

Very stable normal franchise

 

[Hansen]

So many people gave him shit for this, he knew

Chalk another one up to the ongoing malpractice class action suit thats been building against the team for over 10 years

This would ahve 100% been the players decision

 

[Pastor Of Muppetz]

If Mik is done..wonder if they call up Hog or Pod..?

 

[credulous]

This would ahve 100% been the players decision

the player can say they want to play but it's lunacy to let a player you've invested nearly 20 million in "play through it". he should have been rehabbing or getting surgery so he could start his rehab

 

[Canucks LB]

Mikheyev played unbelievably well, considering he’s been hurt all year

 

[Gstank]

You cant just tell a player no you are getting surgery. That would 100% get the NHLPA involved

 

[sting101]

glad someone said it

 

[Canucks LB]

This is the best media availability Patrick Alvin has done so far by a mile.

He sounds promising, very concise, very interesting.

 

[credulous]

toradol lets you play through a lot. playing on a torn acl isn't going to slow you down it's just going to hurt and it's going to open you up to further injury

You cant just tell a player no you are getting surgery. That would 100% get the NHLPA involved

you can refuse to clear them medically to play. the pa can't reasonably argue that a torn acl isn't a significant injury

 

[wonton15]

I kind of want Hogs and Pods to stay down there. Just throw DiGiuseppe in.

 

[EpochLink]

Mikheyev played unbelievably well, considering he’s been hurt all year

Hell of a player

 

[credulous]

surgery is the worst case for mikheyev. if you have a tear you really want to let it heal naturally through rehab. his speed is probably not going to be the same coming back
