@patersonjeff: Torts: Burrows will not play. Out for a few weeks #Canucks

 

[stevecanuck16]

Kelly Hrudey is a guy I'm not really sure of, he hasn't been doing colour that long but he breaks down goalie play pretty well, which was a nice change from Weekes, who didn't seem to understand the position he played for 15 years as a professional.

Well, sure, it might sound that way to you, a modern man. But remember, you're talking about the goaltender....of the future!

Aw, crap. I knew I was looking at it wrong.

Sedin - Sedin - Hansen
Higgins - Kesler - Booth
Santorelli - Richardsson - Weise
Sestito - Dalpe - Weber/Alberts

[NoRaise4Brackett]

Not looking forward to Sedin making a nifty play and the announcers commenting on it.... followed by an equally nifty play by Eberle that gets constant replays and gushing fan-boy comments from the announcers for 5 minutes straight. It sickens me to no end.

No burrow big loss

Torts has decided who will play with the twins with Burrows out but wouldn't say. Morning skate is optional so nothing there.

@SNETPacific8m
Torts says Burrows blocking the shot against San Jose was "the right play."

Steve Ewen @SteveEwen
#Canucks Torts says that Alex Burrows it out tonight and will probably be out a couple of weeks.

Steve Ewen @SteveEwen
#Canucks Torts won't talk about the injury specifics. Assumption is that Burrows hurt a leg or foot blocking a shot on a 5-on-3 against SJ.

No burrow big loss

Impacts the first line, PK and second PP unit.

Weise just keeps moving up the depth chart

 

[NuxFan09]

It's going to be a rough start to the season folks with Burrows out, unless Kassian makes that next step. The forward group is starting to look pretty bad.

 

[JoeCool16]

Pretty much. If another top-6 forward goes down tonight, our goose is pretty much cooked.

 

[MS]

Said a few days ago that not waiving Alberts and only carrying 12 forwards was bizarre roster management. Not surprisingly, it's now come back to bite us.

Basically we're only rolling 3 lines tonight. 4th line didn't play against SJ when it actually had 3 forwards on it.

Forward depth on this team right now is *atrocious*.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Oh boy. That's terrible news on Burrows. And we don't even have another forward to replace him.

But hey, thank heavens we didn't lose Andrew Alberts on waivers.

[facepalm]

Three top 9 forwards on the shelf.

 

[Nuckles]

Oh well, Edmonton is missing both of their top 6 centers, so we can't complain.

 

[Addison Rae]

How is Jensen progressing from injury?

 

[Free Edler]

Oh well, Edmonton is missing both of their top 6 centers, so we can't complain.

Yes, but Edmonton also sucks. The Canucks are supposed to be a playoff team. You can't be a playoff team if you're only rolling three competent lines.

Torts says Burrows blocking the shot against San Jose was "the right thing to do"

And so it begins ...

May be in denial though.

Three? When did we get the third?

 

[Wetcoaster]

Of course we can... We are all Canucks!!!

 

[CherryToke]

time for Booth to step up and show he's not useless.
