[mattola]

sigh

[mooger_35]

Alex Edler out until the playoffs - The White Towel

Edler says the rehab is going well and everything is on track. A return sometime AROUND the start of the playoffs is still the goal.

It's been a nice treat that the Canucks didn't miss a step with him and Bieksa out. They were arguably their two best defensemen before their injuries.

 

[puckhead]

Edler and Alberts are both scheduled to practice with the team tomorrow.

Glass and Samuelsson still need a couple of games for maintenance... according to Farhan, if it was playoffs, they'd both be in the lineup.
I have a feeling the same goes for Hamhuis.

 

[puckhead]

Edler says he hopes to get a game or two in before the playoffs.
Sauve called up for Tanev for tomorrow's game.
Samuelsson also not quite ready for tomorrow.

 

[puckhead]

Tanev sent back to Moose

should mean Edler in the lineup tomorrow?

 

[merlynbc]

Or Hamhuis? Or both. From Gord McIntyre on Twitter "Mike Gillis said today on an NHL teleconference he hopes Hamhuis will play "before playoffs begin" which would mean Saturday."

 

[puckhead]

Sauve sent down too.

Torres with FOUR games?????? a bit harsh.

canucks going with 17 skaters tonight as per Mike Russos twitter

 

[mooger_35]

4 games? Fucking new NHL. So that's 2 in the playoffs which what, equates to about an 8 game suspension?
