Jeff Paterson and Jason Botchford see this Canucks team heading into the All Star break, sitting on the edge of the playoffs.

Really? Seriously?

Henrik Sedin played his 1000th NHL game last week - both JPat and Botch have been around for a lot of the captain's career: they share their thoughts on the milestone.

Next week is the Canucks' annual Dice and Ice fundraiser; what will Nikita Tryamkin be asked to pull off?

Given his slap shot — everyone should probably duck.

And there are the ever-popular roster questions: where does Hansen fit when he's healthy? Will Jordan Subban ever play?

And no, it's not too early to talk Expansion Draft.
