This morning was the Canucks Open Practice sponsored by BCAA. Door opened at 9am and practice was slated to start at 10am. This gave me an hour to find all the trophies around Rogers Arena and take pictures with them for a donation. Once this was done, I went to my seat and watched the Canucks practice. Joey Kenward was hosting as he did last time with the addition of Assistant Coach, Rick Bowness explaining on the microphone to everyone what types of drills they were running and why. It was great to see Ryan Kesler practicing with the rest of team again. He looked like he was a bit sore after awhile but he showed his skill in many of the drills.
The practice was only for an hour and a bit and it ended with a shootout for obvious reasons. Luongo needed to work on this a bit more.....Joey Kenward called on Kevin Bieksa to shoot first and then had him commenting on all his team mates as they took their shots. He missed his own shot on Lu and when Joey asked him what he thought about his shot, Bieksa replied "They won't be calling on me for a shot." The best was when Mikael Samuelsson took his shot and got it past Lu. Bieksa then commented "Where was that shot the other night? We could have used it." lol. Reffering to Samuelsson's missed shot on Marc-Andre Fleury of the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night during the shootout. At the end of it, Bieksa thanked everyone for supporting them and hoped that everyone had a great time at the practice as much as we have had looking at Kesler's nude picture. You knew he had to get a dig in there somewhere. Thats why we love him so much.
