Shannon down, Rypien up

The Canucks sent Ryan Shannon down to the Manitoba Moose yesterday. Shannon had 2 goals in 3 games, but was a team worst -7. Rypien had played well during the pre-season before suffering another injury. It's hoped Rypien's speed and aggressive style will spark the Canucks back to life. Rypien will probably not get a warm reception in Edmonton after the huge hit he laid on Oilers D Matthew Roy. Pregame show will be posted later.
