Canucks Locker Clean Out Day

A media turnout somewhat resembling that of a mob scene occured in the Canucks dressing room Wednesday afternoon. This was likely the last time this current group of players will be together as they enter the off-season follwoing their 2nd round playoff exit to the Chicago Blackhawks.

Nothing too out of the ordinary came out of the interviews. All players admitted they were still in a bit of shock of seeing the season end they way it did.

Mattias Ohlund wouldn't say whether or not he'll be returning to Vancouver for a 12th season as he prepares to enter unrestricted free agency. Same goes for Daniel and Henrik Sedin, who have until July 1 before testing the open market.

Roberto Luongo said he'll talk with his agent and his family in the summer about entertaining the idea of extending his contract with the Canucks.

Sami Salo did not disclose his injuries that kept him out of games in the playoffs. Mats Sundin wouldn't commit one way or another on his future status, whether it's returning to play with the Canucks or any other team in the league.

Alex Burrows was the only player who would comment on his injury status in the playoffs, admitting he battled through injuries to his hip flexor, wrist, and thumb.

Head Coach Alain Vigneault and General Manager Mike Gillis will meet with the media at 3:30pm tomorrow afternoon at GM Place.
