Mason Raymond back in town. From the Vancouver Sun,
The Vancouver Canucks have recalled forward Mason Raymond from the American Hockey League’s Manitoba Moose, the Canucks announced Wednesday.
Going the other way are forwards Mike Brown and Rick Rypien, who are headed to Winnipeg.
Mike Brown was solid for his time up, but I don’t have any real theories why Rypien even came to town. The roster shifts to accommodate the acquisition of Kris Beech shall remain a mystery to my bottle-blonde hockey brain.
But regardless, it’s a good thing Raymond’s back—he has 3 goals in 23 games for the Canucks this season.
And on this team, that’s good enough to rank you in the Top-10 scorers.
Unrelated Update: Apparently David is curious about my reaction to this. Well, I haven’t got much to say… except I can’t figure out how he got video footage of my European tour…

What I don’t understand is why hasn’t Isbister been given a fair shake? He’s big and I haven’t been disappointed with his play when he has been in. What gives? The canucks aren’t exactly playing with “intensity” right now so I hope the club gives him a chance.

With the goalie hype, popgun offense, are we far from this Toronto blog quote as to stop the Leaf’s woes. I quote:
Be More like Vancouver fans.
When their team was losing a lot in the 90’s, they stopped going to games. The minute they made the playoffs, the whole city went and bought new Canuck Jersey’s and NHL rulebooks and showed their support. It was something to behold. A city where you can’t find a mens league game to save your life and where soccer enjoys more of stronghold than hockey, being a fairweather fan really wakes up management and gets them to put a competitive team on the ice. Along with discounts, promo’s, on ice antics and pretty much anything they can do to keep people in the seats other than a natural love of the game. Hey, it may be hollow, but at least they have Roberto Luongo.

Am i right that i read somewhere that Beech was a top 10 pick? if so, what happened? Did he loose his touch? that draft must have been a very shallow pool.
As for the video, i think stripping in a hockey arena (on a giant puck no less) is a step DOWN from a peeler bar, no?
but I’m not meant to judge… just to enjoy…
