Vancouver, BC - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Jim Benning announced today that the club has recalled centre Reid Boucher and reassigned centre Brendan Gaunce to the Utica Comets.
Yeah, not sure what else Gauncer could have done to stick. He scored a big GWer, was producing and was a plus player.

3GP: 1G, 2A, 3PTs, +3

In the end, there's prob not much difference between Schaller, Archiballz and Gauncer. Schaller is prob the fastest; Archiballz prob has the most grit and Gauncer prob the most versatile. That being said, Gauncer was playing pretty good, so it would have been nice to see him get more of a look and chance.

It is nice to see Reid Boucher get a chance though. Hopefully he gets to play with some skilled players to see if he can score some goals for us.

Nilsson gonna start vs Sharks. At this point, looks like no other changes for this game, maybe for tomorrow's.
Bouchard got in way late and Edler is really, really close but not to-nite.

Wonder why the team has to do this up and down the Golden State thing?

Probably has to do with that bouncy ball game. :evil:

The teams “enforcers” have two combined fights and one bite. Roussel jumped a non fighter in his tussle.

Gudbranson fought in his first game and nothing since.

Shades of Wolfman Jack, Harold Snepsts and Curt Fraser

Curious when Roussel will start pulling hair

I know right. It’s probably because we have Roussel and Gudbranson to keep guys like Matheson honest :lol:

The importance of fighting in the new NHL is overwhelming to me

But the tactic of biting cannot be underestimated

What I want to see is him bite a guy’s hair in a fight. That would be underestimated, unprecedented, unforeseen, and uncomfortable for the opponent in such a situation

Fuck if that what Roussel can do then this is the exact kind of nut bar you want as “your” teammate. Can’t imagine the fright of playing against a crazy capable of pulling your hair with his teeth.
