Vancouver Needs The Good Kesler
from Jason Botchford of the Vancouver Province,
Vigneault said he has Kesler in the lineup, on the second line, on the team’s first power-play unit, and will need him to pick up the faceoff slack left by Manny Malhotra, who was, well, told to go home.
Is that all? Good luck with managing those minutes.
Kesler said he wouldn’t come back unless he’s 100 per cent...

Jim Slater’s Poor Corsi
Yesterday I posted the worst players by team adjusted Corsi rating. There were two players who are runaway leaders. They are Manny Malhotra of Vancouver who posts a -335.2 team adjusted Corsi and Jim Slater of Winnipeg who posts a -333.8 adjusted Corsi. These two players are more than 50 points worse than any other in the league. Manny Malhotra is a far more excusable....
Manny Malhotra Has The Worst Adjusted Corsi Rate
Yesterday I posted the worst 20 players in 2011/12 by their adjusted Corsi rate. The adjustment comes when players Corsi (difference in shots directed at goal for and against) when they are on the ice is compared to that of their team when they are not on the ice in five on five situations. This gives us an idea of which players have a significantly different puck possession...

Salesmen Malhotra
I can say from first-hand experience that retail sales is a tough gig. Convincing people to sell products sucks. Yet the Canucks and Manny Malhotra decided to have some fun with the experience at Sport Check, setting up Manny as "Alex" the salesmen for some unsuspecting fans. Check it out here via Canucks.com.
Max Lapierre, Unsung Hero
In case you haven’t noticed, Max Lapierre is having one heck of a season. Lapierre, who was picked up a year ago at the trade deadline, has brought an element needed to the Canucks. Early on this season, Lapierre filled-in nicely centering the third line while Ryan Kesler was injured and Manny Malhotra was struggling to get his game back. After Kesler got back, Hodgson established...
Canucks' Manny Malhotra Gets Interview-Bombed By Ryan Kesler's Baby (Video)
Vancouver Canucks forward Ryan Kesler is known for photobombing his teammates while they are giving interviews. They even have a name for it: Keslurking, a cross between Kesler and lurking.
