Canucks Recall Nathan Smith & Jannik Hansen
http://www.moosehockey.co...leases2.php?press_id=1135
Nathan Smith was up here a month or so ago in a game vs. Minny. 8-9minutes of play. What's the impact going to be? Dudes on the radio are right about them being more energetic. I would look for them to help the Canucks catch their second wind quickly.
Cowan's due, after wednesday nights effort. As due as you can be about the feelings you get that something good is going to happen soon.
Go Canucks Go.

I'm nervous about using these guys in the playoffs. They have big shoes to fill.
Well, the Canucks aren't really that deep. Healthy, they can roll with anyone. But they aren't like, say, Buffalo, who can fill six lines with NHL-ready forwards.
