The Vancouver Canucks are once again find themselves on the short list of Stanley Cup contenders, and a shortened season may favor a highly skilled, battle-tested team like the reigning Presidents’ Trophy winners.

Now that Canucks camp is underway, we can finally talk about hockey matters again.
Namely, that Ryan Kesler is still injured and can’t move his arm above his surgically reconstructed shoulder.

I can’t decide where the Canucks go this season.

It’s going to be a silly season. After going so long without the game, it’s returning at double time with a very short training camp and no exhibition games.

from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
The question surrounding the Vancouver Canucks has for some months been, is the window closing on this group's Stanley Cup aspirations?
Any more injuries and the queries will shift to, should the Canucks even be in the Stanley Cup conversation anymore?
