Somebody help me with this Canuck trivia.

Tonight 1040 talked about the last Canuck who ever scored in his first game... it got me to thinking... we once had a player, whom I believe we drafted who finally made the team but broke his leg in the ... what I think was his first game, or at least very very early in his career... and never played again.

I think it was early 90s.

Anyone remember this?

Well Keenan had Messier and Torts had Kesler, so they are even on the douche level.

I was just looking for canuck drafted players who scored in their very first game.... he's the only one a came across

5 pacific division teams in the top 10 in the NHL standings

No... in his career he only played a few games... again, maybe only 1.

He was a young guy. I can still see the image of hium getting hurt... it was on CKVU's sportpage so this goes back a bit.

Eastern and Western games are literally two separate styles... the East is too weak.

How about Lain against Calgary last year?actually I think he got thrown out 1 minute in and scored his next game.

Canucks this morning are second overall and 2 nd in scoring

Remember the lessons we have learned from Leafs fans, it's the first week of November and we are only one point ahead of what we had the same time last season.

The Starbucks barista at NHL Head Offices didn't even get to call his name to let him know his cup of coffee was ready...

encouraging for the nucks fans to see secondary scoring from guys other than the sedin/vrbata line. Bonino is filling in nicely for kesler as well

Bonino >>> Kesler

Bo had a great game makes that 4th line tight

Good bye shawn mathias

I know its early but we get Bones and Mccann for Cryin Ryan what a deal

Bonino >>> Kesler

11-8 for bonino so far.

Does anyone else feel that burrows time is up in van? Same with bieska

That second goal by Bonino was a thing of beauty! He's not the fastest guy out there but he's got great hands and he always gets his stick in the lanes.

McCann is gonna be a good player, I've got a feeling about that kids desire and talent to be an NHL'er.

11-8 for bonino so far.

The NTC clauses are a big hurdle in any deal for these two players.

Burrows has to be feeling the pressure to play well and produce while not with the Sedins.

Bieksa isn't going anywhere. He said something last year about going down with the ship.

I am a bigger Burrows fan than Bieksa, but I don't think the team has the depth on d without Bieksa and guessing whatever piece(s) that comes back will not have an immediate positive impact. At least with moving Burrows, there are other players more ready to jump up already in the system.

But yeah, I think Burrows could do with a change in scenery.

Maybe the NHL should aquire something like the CFL playoff structure ...top 8 in west make the playoffs ...next 2-3 cross over to play the lightening, pens, Habs, etc

11-8 for bonino so far.

Burrows is a guy you attempt to trade at the deadline as that is when you get the most return for a gritty player like him.

but that 4.5 cap hit
