Kesler update

[puckhead]

so we finally find out what was wrong..
hopefully we get the beast from the NSH series back sometime soon.


Canucks: Kesler had hip labral surgery. Successful, no timetable


more info: out 10-12 weeks.

I just stopped off at the liquor store and got a 5th of Kessler. Now that's a Kessler update.

 

[mooger_35]

So that should keep him out till November (11 games missed).

Please do not rush back Kes. Let it heal fully.

with Kes, Samuelsson and Raymond all on the mend coming into the season, Cody might actually get a chance for 2nd line minutes.

BobMac suggests both Kesler and Raymond will be out until mid-Nov.

 

[mooger_35]

Recent articles on Hodgson suggest he's ready to take the opportunity and run with it.

I certainly hope so

anyone else thinks Kesler looks like the werewolf guy from true blood?

Kesler skated with the team today.

Kesler cleared for contact. Will be practising/traveling with team. I'll say playing in 2 weeks, w/o setbacks

amazing recovery..... I just hope he doesn't push himself too hard.... he shouldn't come back too soon... his personality will be pushing for it, but I hope the team is VERY careful with him

just enough time for Chris Higgins to completely tear a groin

I figure Kes and CoHo can play on the same line... Either could be wing... Once the cycling starts, does it matter which is wing and which centre?

last year Laurence Gilman intimated that the long term goal is to potentially have Coho on a second line with Kes with one of them playing wing

the short term goal was to have Coho play third line with Malhotra moving to wing but still taking faceoffs but then the eye injury happened ... i think we still might see that when Kesler comes back

Hodgson was good on the draw last night when it mattered. He was 6 for 9 in the offensive and defensive zones (0/3 in the neutral zone).

#Canucks No Tanev at practice, maybe sent down to get Kesler on roster? Kesler centering Hodgson/Higgins on 2nd line. We'll see...

Dan Murphy
VAN Lines at Practice: Twins-Burrows Higgins-Kesler-Hodgson Hansen-Malhotra-Samuelsson Volpatti-Lapierre-Weise


thus endeth the Sturm era?

not totally just yet ... just the beginning of the Sturm pressbox era

so if Tanev goes to Chicago, his poor brother will be all alone out here

Canuck centre Ryan Kesler confirms he will play Tuesday vs NYR. Says he's 100 per cent.


good news! (hopefully he is actually 100% healthy)
