Anybody that taped the PPV game and or incuding Canucks TV should have this on tape. It's on my PVR. If I had a DVD recorder it would be possible I guess? Which I don't have.
The way I saw it Pronger hit Kessler and Kess went down. Pronger tried to skate away but Kess had Prongers legs tied up with his own. pronger tried to skate away and couldn't so he pushed kesslers leg with his skate and he didn't let go so. this is when he did the stomp on kesslers leg. this is also when kessler let go. |

that should've recieved something.. to get off scott free???? thats stupid and inexcusable. It wasnt a viscious as one might think when you hear "stomp" but it was dangerous , dirty and uncalled for. Pronger was not cornered into a situation to step on a guy's leg. His left leg was free , and when he finally freed his right leg , he should've skated away but he used his right leg that he just freed to "tap" or "step" on Kesler.
IMO , Pronger is guilty and should've recieved something. 30 games? maybe not...but nothing? JOhnny Cochrane is looking up at Pronger with proud eyes. |

 I think Pronger has pictures of Gary Bettman cornholing Campbell,It's the only reason I can think of as to why he continuously gets either nothing or just a slap on the wrist for his multiple infractions.
I just wish the Nucks had a Brashear or an Odjick to make that cocksucker pay  |

JUSTICE ; Pronger suspended for 8 games.
WHy not make it 9( rest of the reg season) or an even 10 , the double digits makes it look more sevre . At least its better than NOTHING! he was found guilty , that was vindicatingfor Kesler to everyone calling Kesler a suck hole and cry baby. |

Can't say I disagree with much that is written here. The Canucks' peak potential is just not good enough, so the core should be changed for sure.

Next year is a make-it-or-break-it year IMO for Nonis, Vigneault, AND the Twins. Morrison is out for sure, Naslund should be out, Linden will retire. Nonis MUST land a viable scorer this offseason. Vigneault needs to prove he has any savvy whatsoever in the offensive side of the game.
And while I'll admit I was wrong about the Twins, it's high time they become reliable scorers, no matter who is playing the wing opposite them. For too long they've been these weird players who frankly have made it nearly impossible for anyone to build an offense around. Enough is enough, step it up or find yourselves traded to different teams.
And I agree wholeheartedly with Mirtle. Much as I despise them, when Nonis jettisoned Crawford and Bertuzzi, the personality left this team. Time to bring some fire back in. |

Or was it letting Jovo go, but I think they had to do that.

I think there's a very good chance Morrison is back. The UFA market has been drained, and they need offense from somewhere. If Morrison played for, say, Washington, I'll bet he'd be one of the guys that a lot of Canuck fans wanted to sign. ("Two way, good hands, hometown boy," etc.) But because he's a Canuck, he goes on the shit list.
I had originally thought they'd bring Näslund back too, but after their lukewarm statements, I no longer think they will. I'm curious whether he'll retire, go to Sweden, or go to another team.

I agree with Jyrki,Morrison is one of the few guys I would bring back,There is absolutely nothing wrong with his work ethic and he really wants to be here.I also originally wanted to see Naslund back if he would sign for 3.5 or less but I have changed my mind completely on that one,Mainly because Naslund is our captain but he has virtually no leadership qualities and I can't see the mental makeup of this team changing unless his ass is gone.It's a shame really,To think one of the best players to ever lace them up for the nucks is also one of the worst leaders that this team has ever had  |

So who's going to be the new captain, Mitchell?
I want Kesler to become captain eventually, but I don't think it's time yet. |

| You have to seriously consider the recent injury history with Morrison...you simply can't invest money in a guy that injury prone when you already have some decent coin (though not for much longer) in Salo and Ohlund. |

Well, until December 2007, BMo had an Ironman streak of 542 (534 as a Canuck) consecutive games without injury. He could be considered "injury prone" if say, you considered Joe Sakic "injury prone"  ... His ACL will likely slow him down some, but at 33, I think he's still got a couple of years left in him. Perhaps not at the #2 spot for much longer but he's far better than Ritchie or Rypien as far as that goes...

That was last week's story. I'm sure that whoever comes in will bring him back. For good or bad...
