Pre-Game Talk: Tuesday OCT 16 4PM Canucks AT Pittsburgh - No Pettersson:(

[Wry n Ginger]

When a guy gets rattled enough that he has bambi legs you let him rest for at least a week. A brain injury can't be evaluated or predicted for future outcomes well enough to risk having another hard hit. The 2 points vs having a career cut short is a no brainer. If you disagree keep your opinions to yourself. I am right. :p

Unless that’s Ryan Kesler or Brad Marchand.

No Petey means better for the tank. that's what some of the Nucks fans here want.

Id rather enjoy hockey and what Peetey brings - which is A LOT. I use to be totally on team tank but theyre too negative and too focused on some pure fantasy that i prefer to cheer for our team and the prospects that we have got from having the tough years. Maybe this year too, we will see, i might join team tank towards the mid-end of the season if were doing bad, but nothing is in stone atp lawry b lawrence

Boeser hat trick

This could be the game Boeser gets lucky.

This could be the game Boeser gets lucky.

I wish I could share your enthusiasm,but he's still having problems..especially giving and receiving passes...On a positive note,he is improving every game.

Good point again Dave, he lights up Murray like a match. Hopefully anyways. Solid preddy Davey boy Lister

It was a joke reference to Murray's comments from last year.

Sorry bub, Murray is concussed just like Petey boi.

So no hatty for our Boes

 

[Zombotron]

No.

Turns out I don't know what I'm talking about, I guess he's healthy enough now.

 

[Zombotron]

We might get their backup, Casey The Smith, who started their game against Montreal last night

Aww too bad we need Boeser to bag a nother hatrick and with Murray in net he would HAVE had a good chance. O well, 1 or 2 Boeser goals will still be sweet

Canucks kept the tradition going by winning a game they shouldve had no business winning with TBL. Now they can continue making backup/3rd stringers look like Vezina candidates

 

[JuniorNelson]

Canucks will be flat. They know what they did.

 

[PuckMunchkin]

EP better not ****ing play but nothing would surprise me with our doctors and coaches/management

His noncussion is nothing to worry about.

 

[Cancuks]

Blocked a shot off the back of the hand or thereabouts

But Benning said bigger guys don't get injured.

 

[Grub]

So what's the news on EP? Is he actually playing?

I wonder about that as well, this org seems a little dodgy when it comes to injury.

 

[Grub]

I mean, I think it's fair that the fans should get an update at least... right?

 

[brokenhole]

Well this is the NHL and most teams are neanderthals when it comes to information about player injuries. Just hope he doesn't have a concussion because if he does and plays and gets concussed again it's all on the team doctor and org. Of course this group in management will just plea the 5th.

 

[keslerburrows]

However for us to even be talking that EP might be playing in Pittsburg is good news, the injury is not as serious as I had predicted at first. I thought he would at least be cone 10-20 games.

I'm not even sure if it is good news. Concussions are very weird beasts, and should be treated PATIENTLY regardless of the perceived severity. Read about what happened to Okposo last year, Crosby a few seasons back etc. Sometimes there are no symptoms for 3-5 days. We all so the clip, he couldn't even stand up after the hit. The fact he was put on a plane is so ridiculous. It's like while the whole sports world is moving forward with the treatment of concussions, we are moving backwards.

EDIT: Now Bob says he won't play for 7-10 days minimum, but is continuing to travel with the team. Someone explain to me how that makes any sense at all.

 

[vanarchy]

This could be the game Boeser gets lucky.

Just laugh
