Now... why not do a twopher and just make a bobble head with sedin written on the back of it with no number and call it the sedin bobblehead night.

Or just scratch off Daniels name and replace it with Hank . No one will notice

Looks like the #Canucks have used their final AHL callup on Sautner as he will play tonight while a healthy Hutton sits.



So does this mean they can't sign any NCAA free agents and have them play now?

No - although, pretty unlikely they are signing someone in the next 3 days and playing them on the weekend.

I know the cycle was #Canucks Sedins go-to. But watching highlights over past 24 hours, remarkable how many incredible goals they scored off the rush in their hey day. Not bad for guys who could never skate...

The Sedin's always knew how to play off the rush they just didn't do it when it mattered the most.

Yeah with only 3 days left I guess it doesn't matter. Still a few NCAA free agents that are playing in the frozen four they could sign.

Hey I was also at that '82 concert I hated the Kingdome.

Edit: when we were crossing the boarder my buddy was hanging out the car window talking to a station wagon full of nuns, he said "we're going to see The Who, are you going to see The Who?"

That’s what took them to the next level during their primes

One of my favourite things about them was how, during their primes, they came up with some new plays each offseason. Like that one year where they started icing the puck for breakaways

Stupid no touch icing wrecked that for them.

They've alwyas been such cerebral players – one of the reasons I though they would give it another year. But watching old vids, you see how they've lost a step, and that nose for the net.

Totally. I thought they would use their smarts to find a way to play another season or two, but a combination of them losing a step and the rest of the league getting considerably faster hurt them. Those highlights make them look fast compared to today

5-3 VGK tonight.

Ya, faster league, and also crappier Canuck team. I think if this team was another 2-3 years along in the rebuild, they'd come back for another season.

Hah, they're slowish in the highlights, but yes, compared to now they were operating at warp speed

Ya, another playoff run or two would have been a great way to go out.

I think they sort of nodded to that in their presser: the team where it's at pushed them decide to hang them up.

I'd agree with that, they were decent support players this year but as its been pointed out, in this stage of the rebuild those prime zone starts are better used on kids getting acclimatized to the NHL

despite their lack of speed, one thing that always baffles me is how frequently those two come up with the puck on a dump and chase forecheck. Even to this day, when they dump it in, they come up with the puck most of the time

DET 4-2 in the second. Huge game. If they hang on it’s not likely we catch them. MTL will not be out tanked

after seeing the yotes and Habs implode late in games lately, I have zero faith

Was gonna go to the game on Sat but couldn't find 2 seats that weren't back row in the corner. I didn't realize just how nuts people are for the Royals here

I read a few back pages and posters don't want to try to replace the Sedins? How do you think that will turn out? You are going to pull out two fifty point players and not replace them? Ericksson was a horrible signing but he was brought in to compliment the twins.

I first of all look to a trade to replace one of them. Your top return would need to involve Tanev.

Benning needs to really do his homework but you can't just take those extra points away and hope for a better record. This is going to be a big summer for Benning

Agree 100%. This summer can make a big difference in the amount of time before we get back to the playoffs. Tanev should be moved for sure, along with Granlund and one of our fringe Dmen. We will need to sign at least a couple of free agents, it'll be up to JB to not pick up any more anchors like LE.
