Naslund, Morrison and Bertuzzi should suit up. They'd probably be as effective a 2nd line as anyone else we throw out there tonight.
Those guys were sublime to watch for 2 years. Man. Feels like yesterday, but it was over a decade ago...

Anyone know what time the ceremony will be before this game? I have tickets and I wanna know what time I should be in my seat by.

Bert is sounding more relaxed than I've ever heard him. He's always been a little awkward with the media but he's talking up a storm right now. Good to hear. I hope the big lug has found some peace in his life. It sounds like he has.

If anyone wants to go to the game tonight, there are upper bowl (and lower bowl) tickets available on stubhub in the $20 range. Actually it looks like that for the majority of the season

You find it cute someone thinks it's unintentional? That's not what you said a month ago:

Woof...I was almost tempted to get a few and go with my buddies but then I remembered that this team is boring as hell.
Edit: holy crap, you weren't joking

After watching those best goals of 03 it's hard to be a Canuck fan anymore.
That team was so entertaining to watch and what we have now is painful to watch. I've been a fan since they came into the league and the hockey they are playing now is just bloody awful - as boring and as bad as I can remember the Canucks ever being.
This is a team without a second or third line and one of the worst defences in the league. And now it looks like neither goalie is a reliable number one.
Send both the kids to the WJC. Call up Shinkarik ang Gaunce. Waive Baertshi. Sit Weber. Play Biega.
Call up Pedan to give them some grit. Call up Grenier to give them some size.
They may continue to lose but at least they would be worth watching.
I blame this almost entirely on Benning who has made some terrible moves and non moves.

Bertuzzi interview. Really worth a listen. http://www.tsn.ca/radio/vancouver-1...-kid-dealing-with-vancouver-pressure-1.405557

Good memories. Nice to see that Bert has found peace with the passage of time. Would do anything to have someone like him on the current team. I remember prime Chelios being interviewed back in the day about what it takes to contain Bertuzzi and how he might need to be even more physical with him and Chelios give the interviewer that what tree did you just fell out of expression and responded with "you want me to get killed."
McCann deserves to stay. Still good for generating a couple of quality chances a game even if no one is putting them in. OK with the other personnel changes.
I maintain that Benning is no more to blame than Gillis, and probably a good deal less (for the time being), for our current state. Zero players in the line up from the 07-11 drafts is the key. Hutton may have salvaged 2012 but it's still too early. Even Grabner (2006) is nothing to write home about and he was dispatched in favor of Raymond. No organization can survive better part of a decade total draft ineptitude. Both GM's have largely been shuffling secondary players ever since. I'd wager that we'd be roughly in the same boat no matter who's in charge.
"It is what it is." Most of us wanted a rebuilt and we're getting it, even if management/ownership refuses to call it that.

Bertuzzi in his prime was a complete monster. Had the frame of Lucic with the hands of Gaudreau.
