Curious as to why you would say that? Is it something that you and Alain decided or do you just think he would have a tough time playing at the playoff level after being hurt for the past few months. I'd find it hard to believe they wouldn't play him if he does get a chance to sit on the bench.

At the very least he's an improvement over Cody that can take key face-offs,

Wicked news on Manny ! But it has to be hard to jump right into the finals, I could see him getting 4th line minutes for the first game at least. Players say the hardest part of injuries is getting everything back to game speed, so, final-speed, has got to be a little tougher

As I mentioned earlier - I've got a pretty reliable source who told me manny was done - not for the year but forever - as told by his docs after one of his surgeries

So glad that he was talking out of his ass!

Fourth liners were down to 4 minutes a game. I'm sure Malhotra can cover 4 minutes of solid play even if he isn't in as fit as he would be.

Ray Ferraro put it pretty plainly. Malhotra can play 4 minutes on the fourth line and be available if we come down to needing an important faceoff in game 1. By game 3 or 4 he will be back to taking big minutes on the PK and taking a bit of pressure off the likes of Burrows and Kesler.

He's not just in the lineup for a ring.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

This!

He adds depth to the bench just sitting there he makes it harder on the other coach to line match! Win win for us!

Is anyone else upset that Stan Chion has been left off the Canuck's Stanley Cup roster? The pass he made on the bouncing puck to Bieksa in OT against the Sharks was a thing of beauty. Online petition, anyone?

No such thing as instant success … it required many years of hard work.
