Nicklas Jensen is selected 29th overall in the first round of the 2011 NHL draft in Minnesota.
Nicklas is a Danish player with very Canadian roots as his dad is from Richmond Hill, Ontario. The Oshawa Generals say he has a quiet intensity in him to step up and play in big situations. – Bob McKenzie

@ gonzee Congrats, but the rioters were NOT all Canuck fans. Do you live in Vancouver? If you don't, then stop trying to argue with Vancouver boys like me.
Minnesota thinks they have a rivalry wid us?..dont both teams have to be good?..i mean Canucks already got that part:)
hey canucks hd .
please post todays off the record featuring bieksa,tanev, and oreskovich !
@xojoan1 well said you have good general sense
@Montealto09 awsome!
This guy is awesome he's happy to be in the canucks even though ppl are booing the canucks welcome to Vancouver the city of canucks fans rock on
Love the booing, it would appear Minnesota is stuck in 2003.
Saw Him play this week, this guy is going a 25-30 goals scorer for the Canucks, good pick.
@criddely ahahhaa
canucks put jensen back to oshawa
29
wait….we are rivals with Minnesota????? Since when???????
canucks wrecked the wild 5-2 tonight, just sayin
@sandman8185 its because we're the only team the Wild can call their rivals, they never make the playoffs so it's hard for them to build a decent rivalry with anyone.
@Dxblock619
Duh.
haha did you see the camara guy fall as jenson was going to the stage haha none of the reporters notice it
points in the WHL arent really a good indicator of how well a player will do in the NHL. Just look at Gilbert Brule.
Bartschi is close to NHL ready as far as Im concerned. At this point, Bartschi is definitely the better player. Its gonna take time for Jensen to develop; I think he'll probably play a couple seasons in the AHL before he gets any action with the Canucks. Its prob best that he develops slowly too. As for Bartschi, I just hope the flames dont rush him and ruin his development like Columbus did with Brule. He can play in the NHL, but he shouldnt be in a starring role right away
If I was Nicklas, I'd have goosebumps after talking to Gary there at 3:06 "congrats, welcome to the NHL."
Who did the Calgary Flames get in this year's draft entry that the naysayers are saying the Flames made a bad choice their first draft pick of 2012?
Okey, as a Wild fan i have to say that thats a joke. Heatley – Koivu – Setoguchi against Malhotra – Lapierre – Kassian, yeah, better – NOT. And now, Zach Parise – Koivu – Heatley, thats better than your, my opinion, 1st line.
Ignore that idiot, his arrogance is making Canucks fans look bad. A Parise-Koivu-Heatley/Setoguchi 1st line is really good. I think Sedin-Sedin-Burr is still > though. Granlund + Coyle on forward and Dumba + Brodin on defense sets up a very bright future for the Wild.
yeah, cup contender for many, many years if these guys stay healthy.
just saying not many people can say their teams first line is better than the nucks two times in the past three years a nuck has led in points at the end of a season
woah, don't get ahead of yourself yet, cup contender is still a fair way away. Although you are getting better, you still have a long way to go before being cup contenders.
atleast the penguins fans showed some respect on nhl draft 2012 compare to these ignorant wild fans
AHHH TY RATTIE DAMN IT
2:44 Nicklas Jensen's first big hit
We could of gotten SAAD !!!!
I still would've taken Jensen over saad
how did fuck did we not take saad..
ik dont give up pn jensen though
3:33 Jensen's first elbow… Fucking dirty player…
what's a minnesota
i pretty sure its mini-soda
saad dropped all the way to 43 overall so don't feel too bad folks… but it had to be the blackhawks
Fucking BUST couldve gotten saad. FUCK
Why didnt we draft brandon saad?!!!!
when are the Canucks and Wilds rivals?
Why Canuck didn't gave him a try he played 3 games in the nhl
It might've taken him 2-3 years but I think he's nhl ready now .top 6 role. (The next Cody hodgson)
would have liked sadd but jensen could be a good player
Jannick Jensen
Gillis shoulda been fired strictly on letting Saad slip through his fingers. Now I know why Linden and Benning fired Laurence Gilman too. For the Saad fiasco. Shaking my head
Where is that guy ?
Gillis literally took the worst player on that list. Would have done better closing your eyes and picking at random.
DON'T DO IT MIKEY BOY
