Good to see Mason Raymond in that gallery but he looks smaller than ever. Poor guy, it's going to be a tough year for him.

Adam Polasek, I think.

Not only is it Polasek, but he's eating with a spoon, not with a beard.

Raymond looks like a stick-man.

EDIT:

Also weird seeing Craig MacTavish in front of the Canucks logo with reporters... very weird.

Holy **** Raymond is skinny as a rail.

It's 2008 all over again. Let's just all hope it doesn't make him even weaker on his skates.

Friesen is not a very exciting cameraman.

Thanks! I am on my phone so it was dificult for me to check, this is much appreciated.

[CCF23]

The Canucks games tomorrow and Monday are broadcast on Sportsnet. All the Canucks games are streamed on Canucks.com

[jammyrft]

for a hockey town there's been pretty poor coverage about the prospect camp and leading up to the games. I know Pratt's moved on but is there no sport's writers out there covering this like a dirty shirt??

[Placebo Effect]

Our media has always been **** when it comes to our prospects. Not that they're ever good.

[AndyPipkin]

Oh dang. I look bigger then Raymond and I'm only 170.

Looks like they reversed the times for the first 2 games. Today's game is now at 7:30 and tomorrow's game is at 4. My post has been updated now.

Province article on the prospects:

http://www.theprovince.com/sports/Yo...650/story.html

* interesting comment from Babych on Connauton's back skating having improved 10 fold

* a stretch calling Tanev a man among boys at ly's tourney

* a stretch saying Sauve hasn't lived up to the hype?

* Jensen lighter than I thought at 187

Wasn't Cannata a candidate for the Hobey Baker last year? Wouldn't that make the Canucks goalie depth a little more than zilch as stated in the article?

[jigsaw99]

So is Joey Laleggia not going to be a Canucks now that he isn't signed?

You didn't think wrong. His weight at the draft combine was 202 pounds. Mcintyre was using info from his OHL bio i'm guessing.

Apparently the NCAA doesn't exist in Mcintyre's world? Overlooking a Hobey Baker candidate is fairly pathetic even for a Vancouver sportswriter.
