AnthonyG Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 There has to be something about the city of Vancouver that causes injuries at an alarming rate. What the fuck is with almost every UFA or newly acquired player getting injured for substantial periods of time almost as soon as they get here or at some point in their first season.

gizmo2337 Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 I heard last night that Wolanin is banged up, hence no call up. I think it was a question to the coach, but not 100% sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was the post-game "please hurry with your questions oh why am I being given an extended interview I've got a plane to catch" interview of Dick Tocch.

Crimson JH Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Does anyone know if there’s a possibility that the arena could be built on top of some ancient indigenous burial site…? Probably why this team is cursed? I know doing something like that can bring bad juju’s to the area.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck is with almost every UFA or newly acquired player getting injured for substantial periods of time almost as soon as they get here or at some point in their first season. Geography. Our location dictates that our schedule is going to be worse than most teams. On average, every season, we have at least 3 sets of 5+ game road trips; we also have to play a lot of back-to-back games. For example, our November this year's schedule is brutal; The stretch starting from the eastern Canada road trip, was essentially a 6 game road trip in disguise with 2 sets of back to backs. Ottawa -> Toronto -> Montreal -> Vancouver -> Calgary -> Vancouver (there are 2 sets of back to back in this 6 game in 10 days with travel between each game). Then due to American Thanksgiving and American teams want to host games in the states, Canucks have to play another set of back-to-backs. That's 3 sets of back-to-backs in 3 consecutive weeks. Which leads to fatigue and injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Didn’t look good with Myers’ seeing-eye slap shot on Mikheyev. Hopefully he’s back soon, but Dr. Slegr would guess a fracture and 6-8 weeks. Hope I’m wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be out a game or two with a bone bruise though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, I've said the same thing for years as the Vancouver curse.. especially when we start to do well in thr right direction, I was like, wtf??? When Mik went down last season especially, I thought, great! we got a guy that can skate step for step with McDavid on our team now who can score, then, well you know.. grrrr! Off the ice for months.. I just shook my head, and then lately Kuz, idk, I do swear sometimes we actually do have a curse..
