Its been 2 weeks since TT got injured so what kind of foot injury does he have to keep him out this long...? If it was broken they'd send him home, right? So a sprain as a bruised bone would have healed by now, right?

Highly doubt a sprain. Hard to sprain a foot in a skate. Could be an ankle.

Of course ankle sprain lol ... we're saying foot because it was reported he was seen in walking boot and that's all we know. So foot area includes ankle in trying to guess what's kept TT out so long.
I'd like that though its right side D minutes you have to replace and you don't need Fatty to split time with OJ on the left side the way he's been playing. Benn first game back needs the help on trying to fill those Myers minutes; so, why adding Rafferty suggestion for offense. But it could be Chatfield who's got good speed.

I'd still go 7D, especially with back to backs. I don't really want a situation where Edler and Tanev are playing 25+ minutes as they become less effective.

Stecherās role increases. Fatty can handle the rough going. Heās been steady. Chatfield could be the choice.

I'm superstitious, so I am going to give my two cents quick and leave some Canuck well wishes.
I hope OJ plays. Its been a while, and I want too see what we got. He was drafted top 5, so if he is going to be anything, he should be able to be a bottom 6 dman NOW.
St. Louis is gonna be fighting for their lives. Their best will be their best for them to win. Vancouver needs to play like they have (confidence I mean); defensive not as great......cough cough...Myers...cough..
But I got faith. I have faith Jake will have a fire under his ass tonight. I have faith Marky will be SuperMarky. Bo, JTM, Petey, I think this is a magic team.
(something to put my feet back on the ground, but keep the faith.
Go Canucks Go.)
Jake has to crank it up if in. If he cannot find another gear in a series like this idk if he ever will. Look at Sammy Blais who wasnāt a high 1st. Perron is what Jake should play like getting greasy but smart about it.

Benn is not a good puck mover but can rough it up. The suggestion of dressing Rafferty with him might make sense. The 2 of them together add elements of replacing Myers. Plus can divide their minutes so they can handle replacing Myers 20 a night that includes special teams. - NuckUp
Perception is a funny thing. This article says the exact opposite.

OJ if in plays protected minutes. Keep it simple. - Nighthawk
Read your comment in another thread. I can't agree with you on Hughes and Makar in the same class as Jones, Hedman, Josi and Pietroangelo, although I do agree Heiskanen is getting close to that group.

IF we could somehow sign Jones at the end of his contract we'd have a top flight top pair.

Negative. I played 10 days after breaking my foot. He likely has a fracture or a strained ligament in his ankle. Hopefully itās a fracture as they heal quick
