Carol Schram: Ben Hutton an Tim Schaller draw in as Vancouver Canucks visit Carolina Coach Travis Green makes some tweaks to his lineup in hopes of getting a better effort out of his team as its six-game road trip continues Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes.

Wow MDZ and Motte sitting.

Bold moves.

Out today, Fishers top 124. A few people saying there is a "big 5" for this draft and people are saying Kakko might be better then Hughes.

I'm not surprised about MDZ. He spent most of his time with the Flyers in the press box. The strange part for me is he spent his whole summer training every day. Its not like he came unprepared.

I stopped playing games in 2009. Sometimes I miss it but mostly not. If I had the time I would still play but as far as my time management goes it will never fit back in.

its just marketing. Its super smart. Take the hottest game in the world right now, and pair it with a opportunity for fans to play with NHL players, and you have really good publicity.

Take the most popular game in the world for the Canucks, spin it into a negative, then have the local media blow it up out of proportion, and you get players like Laine throwing shade and people making fun of players like Del Zotto and Horvat lol.

I've played video games my whole life. But ya, had a lot more time to play when I was 20.

Now that Im 30?

2 Games of hockey a week if Im lucky.

Im pretty sure I could make more time for them, but can usually find much more constructive things to do. (Really, really improved my golf game over the last 2 years)

Video games had much more luster as a child.... nowadays..... meh.

Ferklands favourite opponent.

lol no rivalry so Ferkland will be invisible.

I see he's 17th in scoring right now so he probably thinks he's too good to get sucked into playing games now.

Nah. Dude knows his role.

Make room for Aho and TT, and get to the front if the net.

He's been a nice fit. Not that skilled and not that fast, but he's a real pain in the ass for defenses when he drives to the net.

Aho was one of my sleeper picks this year in my draft.

I think he's going to have a sneaky good year.

Nothing sneaky about it. Dude had 18 points in 8 games at the World Championships this past year, and he looks ready to bring it this year. 70+ points this year for him.

Very bold Cotton.

That's more what I'd be worried about.

- LordHumungous

Not really. He had 65 last year and didn't score his first goal until game #14.

- BINGO!

He hasn't shown a proneness to injuries either so it could be a big year.

Hutton scores tonight.
