All the NHL teams need to keep up and how to begin the season

Bolduc’s injury created another feel-good story because his replacement on the fourth line was Jeff Tambellini, the son of former Canucks executive and current Edmonton general manager Steve Tambellini, who grew up in a nearby suburb cheering the Canucks and liked to wear the pavel datsyuk jersey very much. It also might have some wondering about the Canucks’ decision to cut versatile center Brendan Morrison after an impressive tryout through the preseason. Calgary promptly signed the Vancouver native. The problem is Tambellini spent the preseason trying to make the team as a scoring winger wearing edmonton oilers jersey, so switching to the checking role won’t be easy even though he has played the middle before.

Daniel Sedin who owned many oilers jerseys scored both goals against the Panthers, while his brother Henrik - the reigning Hart Trophy winner and new Canucks captain - picked up an assist on each. Vancouver’s offense, however, has yet to click into gear, totaling three goals in two games after ranking second in the NHL with 272 last seasons. “As a team we need to get guys in front of the net and work hard to get the goals,” Daniel Sedin in a los angeles kings jersey said. “Last year the goals came easy to us but if we need to win 2-1, that’s fine with us.” There was no lack of offense last season between these teams, who combined for 27 goals in splitting four meetings.

Hansen in a minnesota wild jersey will have no problem keeping up. The question is whether he can score once he gets there. Darcy Horidhuck did plenty of talking leading up to Monday’s game against the Canucks team that traded him to Florida just five days earlier. He talked about reaching the 1,000 penalty minute milestone by going after agitating Canucks center Ryan Kesler and fighting a couple of other ex-teammates, while warning that Vancouver could be in tough without a true heavyweight enforcer this season. None of which seemed to bother Canucks coach Alain Vigneault wearing mikko koivu jersey. “Darcy’s going to play the way he always does,” Vigneault said before the game. Turns out he was right.

Henrik Sedin’s first significant act as the new Canucks captain came before the team officially presented him with the “C” before Saturday night’s season opener. When management told him earlier in the week that he would take over the leadership position vacated by goaltender Roberto Luongo, they asked him for suggestions on his alternate captains with nashville predators jersey. He chose four instead of two. “He came back with the idea of having two at home, and two on the road,” Coach Alain Vigneault said. “He felt strongly about the four people he suggested to me.” The list includes twin brother Daniel, rugged second-line center Ryan Kesler, who was a fan favorite for the captaincy, defenseman Kevin Bieksa who was fond of Predators jerseys so much, and free agent addition Manny Malhotra.

The Hockey Hall of Famer was named Tuesday as Canada's head coach for the Deutschland Cup. Former National Hockey Leaguers Rich Chernomaz and Doug Shedden will serve as Messier's assistants wearing phoenix coyotes jerseys. This past spring, Messier served as Canada's general manager at the 2010 IIHF world championship. He is currently the special assistant to New York Rangers general manager Glen Sather. Staal underwent surgery during a second-round playoff series against Montreal to repair a sliced tendon in his right foot. He returned late in the phoenix coyotes jersey, but subsequently developed infections that required treatment for several months.

And he hadn't had a back problem, although the Ducks very nearly traded him and a first-rounder to Edmonton when he was still in junior, for Mike Comrie in a san jose sharks jersey, if you can believe that. You should, because the only reason the deal didn't go through is that Oilers GM Kevin Lowe was insisting Comrie give back much of his signing bonus before he would agree to the deal. Just where the Ducks would be today had that deal gone through is unclear, but they may not have a Stanley Cup in the trophy case and the outlook this season would look even more bleak than the 0-3 start with goalie Jonas Hiller who liked taking photos wearing san jose sharks jerseys being peppered like it was the warm-up. Perry himself is firing blanks, without a point so far, and he's not terribly amused at how the Ducks have begun the season.
