With the Vancouver Canucks officially eliminated from playoff contention on Monday night, there may be an off-ice shakeup on the horizon. Sergei Fedorov Red Wings Jersey . TSN Hockey Insiders Pierre LeBrun, Darren Dreger and Bob McKenzie all tweeted on Tuesday morning that changes for the struggling franchise could be on the way sooner than later. The Canucks have been eliminated from the postseason for the first time since 2008. Dreger and McKenzie hinted that former Canucks captain and fan favourite Trevor Linden may be part of a new regime. "Not sure exactly what will go down in Van today, but Trevor Lindens name is in the mix. Perhaps, Van using Sakic and Avs template," tweeted Dreger. "Further to @DarrenDreger, nothing official yet, but sounds like Trevor Linden expected to be new president in VAN," added McKenzie. "Hearing whispers that perhaps change is coming sooner rather than later with the Canucks, perhaps as soon as today or tomorrow..." tweeted LeBrun. "Nothing concrete as I said, but those are whispers out of Van city. Will it be the GM? or the coach? We shall see..." Linden, however, said that he has not been approached by the Canucks organization about a possible change. "I havent [spoken to the Canucks] and I think its interesting," Linden told Global BC on Tuesday. "When teams struggle, theres lots of speculation." Linden did add that working with the Canucks once again held some appeal. "Ive always said to people, if the opportunity is right and the time was right, Id have to seriously consider it." Linden would conclude the interview by stating that an announcement on his future involvement with the Canucks was "not imminent." Down 3-0 in an eventual shutout loss to the Anaheim Ducks, the lower bowl at Rogers Arena had hundreds of empty seats throughout the game, with most the fans leaving before the final buzzer went off. The fans that did remain were chanting for Canucks president and general manager Mike Gillis to be fired. Gillis seemed to criticize the style of first-year head coach John Tortorella in a interview with TEAM 1040 Radio in Vancouver last week, saying that he wanted the team to get back to the type of game that got it to the 2011 final against the Boston Bruins. Tortorella, who was hired by the Canucks last summer, has four years left on his contract with the club. "VAN situation is highly volatile, and also highly unpredictable," tweeted McKenzie on Tuesday. "A LOT of money involved in making changes. Lots of moving parts."

The rock bands back-to-back shows on Sept. 11 and 12 will serve as test events for the Saddledome, which is looking much like it did prior to June 21 when the Elbow River gushed into the event level, rose to the eighth row of seats and submerged the Calgary Flames dressing room. "Were back in business," Ken King, president of Calgary Flames and Entertainment Corporation, declared Thursday. About 2,500 seats have been replaced and a new ice plant was installed. Ice is back on the arena surface and the glass along the boards has been erected, albeit still swathed in packing paper. The work isnt finished. The event level was full of ladders and crews, but the arena received its occupancy permit last Friday, according to King. "Every piece of equipment below decks here is brand new," he said. "Every piece of cutlery. We havent turned a stove on. We havent cooked a hamburger or made a piece of toast, but everything is in place to go. Well have a trial run pretty quick." NHL main camps open Sept. 11. The Flames will hold training camp in a different arena, but King expects their first exhibition game Sept. 14 to be played at the Saddledome. The event level is the lowest floor in the building and the nerve centre for cconcerts and hockey games. Pavel Datsyuk Red Wings Jersey. Kitchens, hockey jerseys and equipment, staff uniforms and the electronics that operate the massive scoreboard are just a few examples of what the 30-year-old Saddledome lost in the floods that swept through southern Alberta. The arena is an important concert venue for the annual Calgary Stampede. KISS, the Dixie Chicks and Tim McGraw were forced to reschedule and the Carly Rae Jepson concert was cancelled. But King calls the Saddledomes restoration "miraculous." "Seventy-five days ago we would have been standing under nine feet of water," Robert Blanchard, director of building operations for the Saddledome, said from the event level. "In that time, its probably been about 650,000 man hours put into the building to get it back to where it is. Thats about a six-month project we compressed into two months." There was no time for fancy upgrades and contractors had to work quickly without blueprints, Blanchard said. "Were doing all this reconstruction based on photos and peoples memories because our drawing room was down on this level and all the drawings are probably floating around Medicine Hat right now," he said. King did not put a price tag on the arenas recovery. "We havent talked about that much," he said. "Its a big number in terms of business interruption and property loss." ' ' '
