It appears that Owen Nolan is a longshot to make the Canucks. He is in camp on a tryout basis but Vancouver management is skeptical about his body being able to hold up to the rigours of playing as a power forward at the age of 39. "Can the body hold up the pace and can his body sustain it on a consistent basis?" Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault asked. "You have to be able to practise and play to maintain a high tempo. He's playing today. Is he going to be able to practise tomorrow? That's part of the the body being able to hold up at that age. He's been able to follow the pace and has brought the skill he might still have - those hands are still there - and he goes to the net hard". Still it may not be enough. We will watch Nolan's efforts to comeback with interest.
