I'd like to think that I personally shutdown that thread with my last post in it

Feels good man. I love you all.

^ Aw share the love.

Wish I could spell member

Can't wait till Booth and Higgins are back. What a line up.

Are we ever going to see Bitz or has that ship sailed?

"@benkuzma: Higgins (infection) on practice ice with #Canucks."

Woooo!

PG Canuck · 01-01-2012, 03:40 PM

Higgins back sometime soon (hopefully before Monday), and Booth next week?!??!?!?!?

**** yeah!

We need these guys back. I don't think I want too go through another one game losing streak the way some of our fans react.

I think it's just the way we lost last night that has people mad. It was a very lackluster game.

Happens to every team. Forget about it and regroup.

What a pathetic opening line. And as much as the looks like a 7 on the jersey.. I'm pretty sure that's Hamhuis.

That's definitely Hamhuis, brutal...

PG Canuck · 01-02-2012, 01:36 AM

Looks like someone photoshopped it so it was a 7, and how you get Dan Hamhuis and David Booth's faces mixed up is beyond me. Not to mention, why would Booth be in front of Luongo when he's a winger?

That's just incredibly bad.

Sweater is folded, covering the bottom of the 2.

This. And he is right in front of the net, to boot. But of course anyone who pays attention to the Canucks know that Hammer and Booth do not look alike at all.: laugh:

Its like saying the Twins look similar to Luongo.

Blonde =/= Black hair

Hammer looks Black Irish while Booth is tanned surfer guy.

So, so wrong.

Bobby Lou · 01-02-2012, 04:40 PM

Title seems incorrect; Booth skated today and is aiming for a return versus Florida.

Oh, I suppose we need a source: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sport...rticle2289121/

Luck 6 · 01-02-2012, 05:34 PM

Sounds positive to me. Higgins back likely tonight and Booth in a week. I want to see this whole team together without injuries, thy depth isdeadly.

Happens once in a while to other teams.

Happens regularly for the Canucks.

David Booth close to returning to VAN lineup - that's why the Canucks sent Mak Mancari back to Chicago this morning.

Boston game!!! Let's hope he picks up right where he left off.

Sounds like Byron Bitz has been placed on waivers (according to Kypreos' twitter). Wonder if he's healthy enough to play now?

thepuckmonster · 01-03-2012, 11:40 AM

If Booth comes back against Boston...

Best. Birthday. Present. Ever.

If he is on waivers then he has to have been cleared to play.

Bobby Lou · 01-03-2012, 12:28 PM

I'm no cap-genius like some around here, so can someone explain to me why Byron Bitz needs to be placed on waivers? Hasn't the guy been on our roster, eating cap space the entire year? We signed him as a free agent, and he has never been demoted to the AHL as far as I can figure. Seems weird we may lose this guy to the waiver wire after paying his medical bills and salary for half a season.

He was on LTIR, so moving him to the minors frees up the banked space so Gillis can make a move at the deadline.
