Tearloch7 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Yeah,Gragnani sucked. Kes and Booth were right behind him. Luo carried this team for a few months this year.None of the others did. With that said,I worked in a rendering plant with blood,guts and bones for years,shift work. It was dangerous,filthy and lonely. I would trade places for just two games with any of these $5 million players and all the years I worked there would be paid in full. Two games or years in a gut plant at midnight shifts in a dangerous industrial job. They boo me ? Who cares.Playing elite level hockey is really a joke compared to what most people do to pay the rent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradinToSmyl Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 You must be new to watching hockey... name some players who don't want to play for a team because of exposure!! hahaha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Ok,We get You are a Big Luongo fan,Your Avatar,signature and Defender of Him proofs it But, Why slag Schneider, and act Jealous of His accomplishments? (Why not just relish Luongo acheivements)? Cory has played 9 less yrs than Luongo,so He cannot possibly have 2 gold Medals He has Only played 2 Seasons 1) He too also has 1 SCF achievement 2) That guy knew what he was taking about. Luongo made $6,725,000 this year 3) I dont recall anyone saying Schneids was Better,BUT, Schneider has 20 wins, in less games played,Has Schneider ever been pulled? He gives his team a chance to win Every game he plays.Dont recall any of those goalies You mention being shell shocked that many times in SC playoffs Schneider Is #2 in League for GAA Schneider Is #4 in League for sv % Luongo is # 21 in League for GAA Luongo is #15 in League for save % While Both play on the Leagues #1 Team and the #2 Highest scoring Team No need to attack Schneider to Promote Luongo Sound like a Luongo fan,before being a Canuck fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass19 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Players won't sign in Vancouver because MG doesn't want to shell out big money. Players want money, and they will go to the team that shows them the most green. The players that usually are sticking around in Vancouver (for less coin) are the ones that have been brought up through our farm team and feel a sense of loyalty to the organization. I don't disagree with MG not spending but that along with the fact that he brings in talent that AV has previously couched and he has previosuly been an agent for might be a bit worrying in the future.

CanuckCup1316 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Sometimes I wonder if free agents ever factor in that Vancouver has one of the worst travel schedules. Imagine playing for years in Philly or New York then have to deal with our travel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kes_4_Pres Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 What people forget is.... we are the best team in the Western Conference..... and are tied for best in the NHL.... But yes, please keep complaining like we're fighting for a draft lottery position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneypuckOverlord Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Believe it or not how we and the media treat the players will come back to bite us in the ass soon enough. Absolutely disgusting display by our fans last night and and many other times this season, I was at the game when Lou and Cory split a shut out. Lou got drilled with a slap shot in the neck and had to leave the game, hardly anyone cheered when he got up of the ice and everyone went nuts when saw Cory come in. Love this team, hate these fans.

Westcoasting Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 He actually SAID he didn't want to play in a hockey mad market. He liked STL and Anaheim for those very reasons. Not sure what the Olys or his draft position matter. The NHL is FULL of guys happy to be out of the spotlight and playing for a paycheque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
