Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Game Day: December 26 vs. Edmonton Oilers; Tanev Out The Vancouver Canucks will be without Chris Tanev, Chris Higgins and Ryan Miller as they return from their Christmas break to open a seven-game homestand against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night.

This is a guess from left field but the fact that Higgins has not played or practice during the freeze leads me to believe he will be moved tomorrow. Never seen him injured so maybe they have a trade or waive happening tomorrow

Wishful thinking.

I had a feeling you'd go there. It is a bit mysterious that he practiced but isn't playing.

I wonder if he has a nagging injury and decided after skating today that he's not well enough to play?

Higgins getting traded would be more of a Christmas Miracle, not just wishful thinking

Also, a quick note on Team Sweden.

Gustav Forsling didn't play today - suffered what's being called a "minor" injury in the pre-tournament game against Canada.

The Swedes beat Switzerland 8-3 today but lost William Nylander and Adrian Kempe to injury as well.

I don't think he practiced last game

Hard to say.

It would be nice if it was just a coaches decision to keep Higgy out until he pulls his head out of his ass...or is traded.

I don't want a lesson, I want an ugly contract moved. Too many years with a lot of mediocracy

Are you watching it on a tape delay?

Outside the crease dive, nice sell

Hoping Pedan has a strong showing tonight.

What a dive by the goalie.

3 of their top 4 Dmen out. Miller out. Higgy (no biggy) out.

things going according to plan? wish ducks would start winning. Calgary and Edmonton are poised to pass and finish ahead of Canucks.

Put the rebuild into overdrive.

Christmas holidays is a time for Hockey , over eating , over spending and over drinking, not for sex

anyone else agree Virtanen has looked shaky in the O zone. Either turning puck over or not using his teammates
