Might buy my first Wolves ticket in 2 years. Jimmy is my favorite player of recent era. Shame he can't fit into a weak Canucks lineup.

This is why people hate the Canucks.

Booo. we didnt even see jim vandermeer in a single game yet. calgary is not a threat i suppose.
jordan played well during camp. centering mason raymond and jannik hansen wonder if he centers them when he comes up. they had some good chemisrty.

****ing typical.

I hate the Canucks as much as the next guy, but is it possible that Vandermeer is simply being sent to Chicago for a conditioning stint? Maybe I'm giving Vancouver too much credit...

nope...would have been noted in the release (if there would even be one for it).
