Off Topic » Subban and Matt Duchene will be the two

Canadian Olympic mens hockey coach Mike Babcock announced early Thursday that P.K. Subban and Matt Duchene will be the two skaters sitting out the teams opening game. As well, Mike Smith of the Phoenix Coyotes is the third goalie, meaning he wont be in uniform for the game against Norway at 12 p.m. ET. Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens gets the call in net, with Roberto Luongo of the Vancouver Canucks the backup netminder. Montreal defenceman Subban was the Norris Trophy winner as top defenceman in the league last season, but reportedly was passed over for Dan Hamhuis of the Vancouver Canucks. The absence of Duchene, of the Colorado Avalanche, means that Martin St. Louis draws in among the group of forwards. St. Louis, a member of the 2006 Olympic squad, was just added to the team last week as an injury replacement for Tampa Bay Lightning teammate Steven Stamkos.

And the new-look Canucks get their first crack at game action tonight in Calgary. TSN1040 pregame show is at 5:00, John Shorthouse and Dave Tomlinson have the call at 7:00. The Canucks struggled through a 36-35-11 season last year, enduring a 1-10-1 stretch in January and February and closing with a 2-5-0 finish. They were 12th in the Western Conference to miss the playoffs for the first time since 2007-08. The rollercoaster ride also saw goalie Roberto Luongo finally be traded, while GM Mike Gillis and coach John Tortorella both lost their jobs. Later in the offseason, centre Ryan Kesler was shipped to Anaheim. But that turnover has left the Canucks hungry for change. Franchise icon Trevor Linden has returned to the club as President, and Linden has added new management pieces in GM Jim Benning and coach Willie Desjardins. All three are rookies in their current roles, but they havena€?t been shy to imprint their views on the Canucks roster. Goalie Ryan Miller was quickly signed to a three-year deal worth $18million in free-agency, centre Nick Bonino and defenseman Luca Sbisa were added in the Kesler trade, while forward Radim Vrbata, Linden Vey, and Derek Dorsett were also picked up over the summer via free-agency and trades.dddddddddddd The end result is a Canucks roster that still relies heavily on its old core of the Sedins, Kevin Bieksa, Dan Hamhuis, and Alex Edler, but has refreshed a bit with some new blood. A promised youth infusion may still be a year away, with Nicklas Jensen and Hunter Shinkaruk sent to the AHLa€?s Utica Comets, but 2013 top pick Bo Horvat remains with the big club. Horvat will not play against the Flames, due to injury. Kevin Bieksa is also a question mark with injury, but Bieksa traveled to Calgary and will take the pregame skate. The Flames are also coming off a season without playoffs, as Calgary finished 13th in the West in 2013-14. That resulted in the Flames grabbing Sam Bennett with the fourth overall pick, but Bennett is out longterm with a shoulder injury that may require surgery. Calgary also added starting goalie Jonas Hiller in the offseason.
