Ross says to Rachel...."Front and back!"

I was racking my brain trying to come up with a trade proposal that wouldn't inflame our fanbase...then it hit me. I think NJ would think long and hard about this one too. EP is definitely above jack and who knows what they have in luke. Could we squeeze a first as well?

unless we trade petey for jack and luke hughes? I'd probably due that deal.

Anyone have the video or audio of his availability?

It's been so oddly quiet. Like so quiet i have a feeling we have a plan in place on the draft floor and aren't saying boo about to anyone. Somethings going on and we will find out soon.

Granted but with teh glut of wingers Im surprised we can't trade out beau or Garly with a 3rd round pick for something useful?

Hmm i think we are 1 of 5 teams that hasn't made a move yet. Is this wierd? Like do something boys.

This should be noted in a big way. You can't win with a 4th line of guys 5'10 185lbs. Its just not possible...I don't care how hard they work.

i dunno...7 goals on the 4th line is about right. At least he can fight.

Well as we don't currently have Bear, Burroughs or Juulsen under contract and Myers is reported to be on his way out...it kind of looks like this 1) Hronek 2) Woo 3) Mcward I'd say the canucks did this knowing what was up.

Everyone keeps saying deep draft but after listening to Craig button outside of the top 4 its kind of a mushy middle. Late first to third rounders could all be equal. So deep in the sense that you could get some late round steals...not deep enough that a late first rounder is a guaranteed NHL starter. We have 3 third round picks...could be exciting.

Neither is Chychrun when you get right down to it. Neither is Hughes...or most puck moving defenceman. Positioning can be taught....scoring can't. We need more points from the blue line.

9 goals and 40 points? When did we last have that production from any Defenceman not names hughes? and at 25 years old? Edler only did it twice in his whole career. This guy makes just over 4 million. He's a RHD ....Sooo we got everything we wanted and are still upset? Foolishness...

After missing the last few games and watching this one. This is a different team wow. They are working hard and their coverage is good. With a number one in net it'll be interesting.

Is it just me or did Bo really just seem to want to pad his numbers, not get injured and really just look for a pay day. Lots of folks here love on him but dude wanted money and didn't really seem to care about the team. Also I liked Bruce as well but I'm also starting to realize he was a moral coach...not a good coach. I think we may need to apologize to management here soon. I think we were wrong...

Look....they knew what they were doing....it wasn't a conspiracy. Shhhhhh now.

Yeah fair enough but we cant suck for ever. Retaining good assets at good cap is still important. Can't we get a second from someone else?

hmmm 30 goal scorer for 5.5mil or a second round pick..... Im astounded that people have to think about this. .

This... what's wrong with the fans. I'm embarrassed. These guys are our coaches and the team won. I think k we are better than this guys.

Maybe similar but Tocchet beat the hell out of scott stevens and scored a hat trick on Marty Brodeur in the same game in his thirties. I'm not sure people here realize how bad ass Tocchet is.

I don't know the guy on a personal level. If he routinely punches cats or steals from orphanages I'll roast him with you. Just trying to kill the negativity here. Dudes gonna be here for 3 years. Let's give him a chance. The players will be our litmus.

He had 1000 points and 150 fights in the nhl. He beat up Scott Steven's and scored a hat trick on Marty brodeur when he was in his 30s. You talk a lot of smack over a dude who already proved he's awesome. You never made a mistake in your life? You must be sent from heaven.

Its amazing what a boss can do though. Ive worked for guys that were tough as nails and you had respect for. It ups your game big time. Everyone loved Bruce and they said they'd go to war for him...but did they? I sure didnt see it. Tochett had 40 goal seasons with 10 fights. Foote blocked shots and ate them like skittles...Gonchar played during one of the most ruthless eras of slashing and elbowing and still put up almost 1000 points as a Dman. These guys walked the walk. Its legit.

Is it just me or do we suddenly have three warriors out there. These men don't mess around and the canucks look like school kids next to our coaches. I see a change of compete coming.

Hmm I was just having a chat with my wife about this. She said the same thing. I'm not sure where the limit is...somewhere between Holocaust and chernobyl I guess. Maybe just get more creative with words and not using nasty metaphors? I dunno maybe I'm just cheesed at the media. Like a 6 year old punching his baby brother in the face and looking at mom all innocent "what? But he deserved it mom" or " what I didn't do anything". Ya you did guys...you blew it up because you wanted clicks...this is on you too.
