Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks: Injury Update, Luongo Benched, Torts Hurts Shoulder? Two Vancouver Canucks were eliminated from Olympic competition on Tuesday, while two others will most likely watch from the sidelines. Back home, we have more news on injuries, including one to the coach.

Do you guys really care that much to see Canucks players play? I could care less if I see Kessel or JVR for the rest of the tournament as long as Canada wins......

I guess Ek was wrong about the Swiss going all the way

Canada vs Latvia - is the game tomorrow?

I care more because of the horrible run the Canucks were on before the break. My hope is that a good Olympic experience will light a spark of confidence for someone, who can then hopefully bring it home to spread among his teammates.

Correct . 9am our time. Stupid of them to schedule the Canada game and the US game at the same time.

What matters more ice time or the gold? I don't care who plays, who scores or anything else, this gold matters more, because I think it will be the last Olympics with NHLers.

We all know that Swiss women go all the way, and bring marshmallows.

Personally I'm not watching any other games than the Team Canada ones, could care less about any other team.

The good news is that Alberts is still not ready.

Luongo's not benched. He's the backup. I would say Smith is benched. Not Lu.

Babcock is dumb to not dress Subban. The PP is anemic and that guy adds a dimension they don't have.

Lets hope Doug MacLean is right about Gillis making some major moves.

He's coached three Cup finalists, I think he's got this. Subban is/can be scary defensively; we have enough offensive weapons, they just have to start finishing. Defensively we've been strong, I think he'd like it to remain that way.

That depends if you are the Tank Nation bandwagon

They are in Russian they could care less how the westerners feel about the scheduling of games.

Maybe so, but the IOC and the IIHF should care if they want the NHL to send players to Korea.

The last thing Team Canada has had to worry about so far is their D. It's been fantastic.

They should let CBC run the show over there, they'd be showing the Americans in prime time because it has two Leaf players on it.

The afternoon show on 1040 yesterday afternoon. Not exactly the most reliable source...

Would it really be any better if one of those teams started at 4:00am PST though?
