Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Game Day: January 7 vs. Pittsburgh, 7 Canucks to Olympics As they celebrate seven members of their organization being named to Olympic Teams, the banged-up Vancouver Canucks have an imposing task ahead of them as they host the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night at Rogers Arena.

Happy for Edler

It's been a disappointing year—maybe the Olympics will give him a boost, especially after the snub last time.

Also pumped for Hamhuis. Not the most high-profile D, so it's a testament to his steadiness in the defensive end.

Also, congrats to the rest who made their respective teams

Hopefully we can get some bodies back soon. Losing Henrik for any stretch of games would be terrible.

Could be an ugly one tonight with all the projected injuries....

Yeah this team is thin enough without injuries to 4 top 9 forwards and 2 top 6 D.

Hansens not playing for team Denmark? Does that mean he got snubbed, Or is there even a team Denmark this year?

Yeah, I wonder how long Lack can hold the fort for.

So.....

Hamhuis will probably be in the press box save a injury.

Edler has to sit 3 games in the tourny.

At least those boys get some rest

I predict Kunitz with 6 goals tonight and Crosby with no assists.

Can't say i'm surprised he's on the team. I would not have selected him but there's no doubt it's Crosby's team. The elite stuff is just hilarious.

Yep, but i think Vlasic dresses over him. But not dion

Agreed, however i'd love to see Hamhuis and Weber reunited, creates a good pairing of righty and lefty while also having the benefit of having prior chemistry.

You think Crosby had something to do with no Giroux. He hates him

Didn't know that. IF they do despise each other and you have to make a choice it's an easy one. Why is it the Penguins get the whiny superstars?

Crosby is gonna have to turn up the whining considerably if he wants to catch Mario. He was embarrassing

He still is. Almost took his team out of the league a couple of years ago didn't he?

Your best players are supposed to promote the game., not grab their hat and run home.

I absolutely see this happening with Subban as the 7th and Vlasic in press box.

Keith / Doughty
Bouwmeester / Pietriangelo
Hamhuis / Weber

I think all of the D will see some ice time in the tourney. They'll play both Vlasic and Hamhuis during the first few games. Our pool is not very good.
