Jannik Hansen injured his ribs during practice on Tuesday and will be out for about 2 weeks. Could be longer. Ever injure your ribs? It sucks. Radim Vrbata, who has missed a few games with a lower body injury, did practice today but may sit in favor of Brendan Gaunce. Vrbata said today via The Province:
"I’ve been around the league for a while and I understand — I won’t be a distraction and my approach to preparing won’t change," the Vancouver Canucks winger offered when asked how he would respond to sitting out amid the ongoing youth movement.
