Centre Ryan Kesler landed the big one during the team’s visit earlier this week to a fishing lodge on Haida Gwaii.

Kesler reeled in a 36-pound spring salmon to win the team’s fishing derby.

“There were a lot of funny stories,” defenceman Dan Hamhuis said. “Most guys have just done some small-fish lake fishing. Burr (Alex Burrows) had a little 8- or 10-pounder come up on his rod and he reeled it in and was excited about the fish and the guide just looked at it and knocked it off the hook. He was pretty upset about it.”

Trying to think if they rushed anyone after Linden.

My gut says they likely did.

Off the top of my head I can't think of anyone?? Must be Miller time...off to the pub to see the boys. (and hot waitresses)

Tort's coaching will have a positive affect on Edler's play. BOOK IT!

Proof has already been established that you don't need to be smart to be a good hockey player!!

Winger David Booth remains out with an ankle injury suffered last March. General manager Mike Gillis said Booth has still not been cleared to play.

Cap space baby ,maybe we don't need to buy him out he just remains on LTIR for two years.


Our GM is such a devil.

I was thinking Trev

Just shy of $5m per. Big money. Good for him.

Now his dad can live comfortably.

4.25 is not just shy of 5 mill

I was thinking that Bryan Allen or Nedved might have played at 18.

Wait till they meet Kassian.

Just glanced at it, looks like Nedved played a bit as an 18 year old, but turned 19 in December.

Wow, I'm surprised Edler gave them the opportunity to analyze his brain function. That's garbage. Some people are introverts and have trouble expressing themselves and articulating themselves. That doesn't make them dumb. Just not as good at communicating as others.

First game, have him go all Alice Cooper and bite a head off a live chicken during warm ups.

That's bound to get everyone on the team more space.

So....what you're saying is some of the other pimps said Edler was dumb

To be fair, I don't know too many people who act smart at the Roxy.

Case in point: Last time I was there was with a couple Ecuadorian and Argentinian buddies, so I put on a spanish accent to try to pick up chicks.

Didn't work too well. I'm about as lilly white as the Canucks away jerseys...

Nearly every Swede seems to be an introvert these days. I have family from Sweden and it just seems to be the general case. Wonder what happened to the Viking spirit...

The frenchman we used to have running thing beat it out of them with mind games.

I can't wait for Torts to bring that spirt back.

Have you eaten Swedish food? is can be pretty depressing, no green vegitables can effect anyone, and lingonberry with everything, please.

Who's the last 18 year old to make the team??
- LeftCoaster

Linden?

Linden?
- docmorgan

That's what I was thinking, but its been a long time.

note to Senor Fosco: Money/Platinum Visa speak all languages

I actually think the COHO signing isnt bad. The dollar amount is about right for a 2nd line center. The term of the contract I feel is little to long. But when you are the sabres you kind of have to pony up the term and the dollars to keep RFA.

Heeeeyyy sexy lady!!!!
