All lines basically have the same playing times, and its helping the other 3 lines be more of a challenge

Part of the problem is playing the sedins for 15 minutes when you need offense. Gotta get em up around 20 minutes or so, and you don’t handicap them with dorsett if you want them to score.

Alex Burrows left the Canucks' morning skate with an upper-body injury and was taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
The Canucks are saying that Burrows is being hospitalized for "precautionary reasons," but haven't provided much more in the way of information. One thing they have confirmed is that Burrows won't play on Tuesday. Sven Baertschi, who was called up on Tuesday, will likely take Burrows place in the lineup.

Did somebody cheap shot him in practice? 😂😂😂😂

As much of a nice story the flames are this season, I’d like to see the canucks get past the first round.

Unfortunately, that ship has sailed, they will be the next team to rebuild along with SJ.

We've got a long way to catching up to your team, the pros at exiting the first month of the season

It's not just him, you have to admit, there are a few regulars without the fire this years. Me thinks they see the writing on the wall.

didn't you hear? they got their 4th jesus, coming to save the franchise. the first 3 jesuses weren't all that great but the original jesus calls this jesus a franchise changer.

Umm the rebuild started when they traded away Luongo, and Kesler.

Embarrassing, If I was Hall, Nuge or Yak, I'd be hanging my head in shame.

Broken rib.

Posted from the Flames thread:

We were 10 feet away from that fight in that clip last Friday night. After it cleared we reiterated with a canucks fan who was standing right next to it. Lots of yelling, and then bam a canuck fan sucker punched the flames fan, all hell broke loose, then an older man in a flames jersey (turned out to be the dad) tried to step in, he was grabbed an thrown on the floor. The guy was like 50. wtf? Then as the four of us (in flames jerseys) stood by trying to help calm things, another rogue canuck fan started yelling at us and tried to get us to fight. This was some of the worst Fanaticism I have ever witnessed. So many nice canuck fans kept coming up to us and apologizing for the abuse we kept taking every twenty feet we'd walk. Slapped in the gut/logo, chin tap, pretty hard arm wrap around the neck, literally every 1 out of 50 canuck fans we'd pass. My other friend, alone, got a wet paper towel wiped at his head while in that same washroom you saw in that fight, then outside surrounded by 5 fans, they grabbed the back of his neck and told him "the flames suck, and they'll kick his a....". Luckily I live in van, and work in gastown. So we ditched our sweaters as quick as we could so we could enjoy the remainder of the night. I've never seen and been abused at this level while attending a sporting event. I have game 7 tickets if need be, and I will certainly be leaving my Flames jersey at home. Flames fans, if you're reading this, be better then this. Don't just "not" abuse the other fans, but "step in" an say something. As nice it was to hear people apologizing, no one said anything when it was happening. Let's keep this game civil, and just enjoy the game like adults.

Sounds like these Canucks fans take after your buddy Bieksa.

Punctured lung... Da fk? How does one get their lung punctured at practice?

Eric Lindros Stanley Cup win total - 0
Quebec franchise Cup win total - 2

McDavid might not want to heed any advice from Lindros, unless of course Eric tells him to keep his head up!

Read the broken rib... Now it makes a bit more sense.

While I won't argue that we may in fact lead the league in knucklehead fans. To paint thousands with the same brush due to a 200 or 300 idiots isn't fair.

if he breaks a rib it's not too difficult, i don't think. i'd imagine that would be a terrifying feeling.

Ouch! Thankfully nothing too serious though.
