NorthWest Sports Blog brings you daily features on Oregon, Washington State, and BC amateur and pro sports teams.
Richard Hodges one of our Vancouver Canucks bloggers points out its a challenge to find the best line-mate for Henrik Sedin and Daniel Sedin. Makes you wish there was a third brother. Cherish the skill of the third twin, because we may never see it in Vancouver. Between Trent Klatt, Anson Carter, Jason King, Taylor Pyatt and of course Alex Burrows, the Sedins’ linemates have had more hustle than pure skill.
It makes you wonder what the twins could do with talent on that wing…
Josh Hall one of our Vancouver Canucks bloggers is back with his Thursday Detroit Red Wings vs. Canucks matchup preview. Tonight at 7:00 p.m. PT, on Rogers Sportsnet. We’re hearing Roberto Luongo will get the start against D-town tonight. The President’s Trophy is up for grabs. Daniel Sedin, Ryan Kesler, Henrik Sedin, Alex Burrows, Alex Edler, and Kevin Bieksa better bring their A-games to Rogers.
Ryan Kesler returns to the Vancouver Canucks lineup this week after offseason surgery. The Michigan native has become a key part of the offence, but it is most definitely his defensive awareness, rather than the goals, cheeky soundbites, intrusion into teammate interviews, or unnecessary nudity that make him the real heart of the Canucks.
