Brendan Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Canucks lose to St Louis, and also lose another defenseman- Andrew Alberts out with a broken wrist.Canucks put him on LTIR, call up my son to be 6th defenseman. Luckily he's a right handed shot, and so will play with Ehrhoff on the first pairing tomorrow night in Minneapolis.I was thinking about this today but why hasn't Baumgartner been called up? He's actually has NHL experience and played for them last season. Do you think they attempt to call Parent up despite his one way contract?

TheGrimReaper Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 A team that plays to a half filled arena is in firstAnd dont forget, 60% of the people actually at the game are there for the visitors.I like the Coyotes a little bit, but I don't want them to win anything.If 'Yotes win cup = nobody's happy (besides maybe 50 people or so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Louis mugged the twins all night, and I guess Jackman cornered one of the linesmen in the back room, pulled a knife out and said "you're not gonna call nothin, see?", laughed maniacally, then went out for the pre-game skate.Canucks lose to St Louis, and also lose another defenseman- Andrew Alberts out with a broken wrist.Canucks put him on LTIR, call up my son to be 6th defenseman.

My guess is because teams are only allowed 50 contracts per season, the Canucks must be right up against that number, or else he'd have come up by now.

I guess Gillis just added D-man to his February 28th shopping list. I don't think any team has a much bad luck on the back end as the Canucks do.

The_Admiral Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Wouldn't they have to sign Baumgartner to the 50-man roster before the deadline to make sure he's playoff-eligible? The Thrashers did this with Chelios last year; fat lot of good that did either party. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 They need to find someone who isn't Andrew Peters to release outright, to ensure they can stay under the 50-contract limit. I really don't know who's underproducing in Manitoba enough to warrant that kind of move.Unless we can somehow get a 3rd rounder for Jannick Hansen, Baumgartner stays in Winnipeg. On the bright side, Ballard is apparently doing much better than they originally thought, and might be back earlier than 3-4 weeks.

No way they trade Hansen either, IMO after the Sedins, Kesler, Burrows and Samuelson he is the most valuable forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hansen's got a lot of hustle, but no finish around the net. I like the guy, but out of the, say, top nine forwards, he's the most marketable/moveable one. You think anyone's gonna bite on Raffi Torres?Schaefer's release probably helped a while ago, but Andrew Peters was released for a reason. Unless they manage to drop someone from the Salmon Kings like Prab Rai, who I'm not even sure counts anyway, they need to either make a desperation move, or wait it out and hope Ballard and Hamhuis make it back by the end of February.

He is so effective on the PK and forechecking. He isn't very polished offensively but he does play smart and is a pretty good passer. His pass to set up Kesler a couple weeks ago (I forgot who they were playing, I think it was Phoenix) was gorgeous. He will be huge in the playoffs. Torres I'm not so sure about. Loved the guy in the first part of the season, lately though he's been pretty ineffective. He's a streaky guy who could be valuable in the playoffs with his size and grit. If Oreschovik can step up and use body I would consider trading Torres. The most realistic trade for Torres would probably a swap for a depth D-man with another playoff team. That good news about Ballard, even though he hasn't had the best season he's certainly valuable. I have a bad feeling with Hamhuis though. His head hit the boards real hard, and seeing what happened to Mitchell last season, and Crosby this year he could very well be gone for the year. This team hasn't faced much adversity this year so it will be interesting to see how they deal with this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee. Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 They've faced adversity, but they've also had 2 or 3 defensemen down on the farm that were able to step in without too much of a dropoff. I mean, really, Alberts and Rome are the 7 and 8 guys on this team, but they'd easily be 5-6 guys on almost any other team. Factoring in Tanev's remarkable play and Sweatt being such a nice surprise, the Canucks are now using their number 11 defenseman by calling up Sauve. ELEVEN.I think that regardless of how deep the Flyers are looking, any team in the league would love to have ten defensemen like the Canucks have. Hell, they'd love to have half the defensive depth that the Canucks have. Welcome to DrunjFlix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 EDIT: After going back and reading previous pages in this thread rather than Don's one post.... Come the ON, guys. I'm going to stay out of the Mario argument, or else I'd be here all day, but I know I've made a conscious effort to stay out of this thread and to be "whiny yet arrogant" about the pens, but it still aint enough? Okay, maybe I can understand a 5 year rule. Maybe I can understand some of the bitterness towards the pens, but cut us a damn break. Don't hate on and jump down the throat of all pens fans because of the actions of a few and because they have recently been successful. I know I'm not innocent, yes, but jeez. I'm trying. People do change, you know.It's like any team that has success, the fans must be punished for it. (Unless said team has never won a championship, or hasn't won one in decades.) I almost root against the Steelers because of it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Well it was a battle of one of hottest teams in the league vs. One of the leagues coldest. Avs are also one the most beat up teams in the league, but since Pittsburgh is also beat up they get all the attention, Craig Anderson is also not helping is cause for free agency.They also just lost Matt Duchane to a pretty nasty injury. Not a fun time in Denver. Â JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
