The Canucks has placed Willie on IR after they found out that he has a stress fracture on an L2 vertebra on his back.
Someone form the Canucks.com forum posted a photo of what that type of injury looks like, and it isn't pretty.
Willie, being the super guy he is, played through that injury for nine games before deciding to finally take a rest upon Mattias Ohlund's return to the lineup.
But you know, I just love how Canucks Report had "HIT THAT INJURED WILLIE WATCH!" video on it.
No. I don't love how the Canucks Report did that. :( I don't want to be reminded that he'll be gone!!!
Now that the semi-hysterics are over, I am very glad that Nonis acquired 387483432 defensemen in the offseason. It is now doing wonders for our hockey club. If we haven't acquired that many, Nonis would probably be pulling a panic move right now to get more D in the lineup.
Lukas Krajicek is still out with the shoulder injury he suffered from the game against St. Louis. Canucks have recalled Nathan McIver from the Manitoba Moose to replace him.
Meanwhile, Taylor Pyatt is looking to start wearing a visor full-time to defend his face from jealous hockey players who doesn't have his pretty face. *hack cough* It's not a joking matter for Pyatt anymore when almost all injuries he has had as a Canuck are caused by errant sticks and pucks to the face. LOL
:) Good luck with that, Fatty.
We're playing Dallas tonight. I wonder if Turco and Co. will accuse Curtis Sanford of having flaps. Maybe he should purposely wear his knee flaps like Luongo to piss them off. :D
And not cause of the way the Canucks are playing right now (though I should be :P), but because everytime I hear or read about Kevin Bieksa's injury... I get queasy.
Thinking about it now just ugh... I want to barf.
ajdshfkajds I can almost feel the pain on my own leg. Ah ah ah!
I am so weak!!
I can't really comment on the game since I was still in a midterm when it started and I couldn't watch.
They lost 3-0 against the Preds tho. Sucks, but I'd rather them lose now than in the latter half of the season where I hope they will put their act together ...
They need another "Vote for Rory" type of thing... team bonding exercises or something.
Dave Nonis signs 2 defencemen!
Canucks sign Kevin Bieksa to a 3-year extension; ($11.25 over 3 years)
Canucks sign Aaron Miller
See? He's gone insane. Over the past week he has signed 10+ players.
I don't know how to react over the Kevin Bieksa deal: On one hand, it's great he is back; the other... he's the highest paid defenceman in the team. I shouldn't complain though.. if we had waited, we'd either lose him or overpay more for him.
And with the signing of Aaron Miller, our defense corps are practically complete. I only hope Miller comes cheaper than Rory Fitzpatrick...... I complain about $ figures too much.
But yes. Our defense is sick and this is just the Top 6, I haven't even mentioned our "call-ups" yet.
