oldnews Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Mike Gillis is also the former Player Agent who asks "Players to take a little less" so they can be part of the Canucks Team build? I also wonder how long Roberto can put up with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 There are surprises every year. There will probably even be more surprises in a year like this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gollumpus Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 The answer is clearly the latter. A term that's twice as long is FAR more difficult to move than a roughly 30% premium on cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Hey King guess what? Olli Jokinen is wearing an 'A' for WPG. That's just 'A' to add to his resume of teams he has been a captain on. I guess he is such a bad teammate.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hodgson!! Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Early 2-0 lead for the Penguins over Ilya Bryzgalov and the Flyers. Time for GM Paul Holmgren to give Vancouver a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashian Kassian Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 On trade deadline day, TSN analyst Matthew Barnaby reported that some players in the Western Conference were actually predicting the pending demise of the Calgary Flames -- due to the acquisition of a dressing-room "cancer" in Olli Jokinen. Tell this to Matthew Barnaby. I'm just the messenger. Interestingly enough, the "demise" actually did happen roughly 6 months after Jokinen was acquired, when they inexplicably traded Dion Phaneuf to Toronto. BTW - did you and oldnews happen to see Michael Frolik's beauty goal today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 I think Calgary's going to get what it deserves for maligning Jokinen so ridiculously. He produced at an impressive level in Calgary despite playing for a team with a weak blueline, no depth behind him (ie he faced all the toughest matchups), he played injured alot due to the fact they had nothing to replace hime with, and he did it for a bargain cap hit. Now they're going to get to watch him play in a better context, and I'm betting he'll have yet another really good season in the Peg, while Calgary tells themselves they have a good chance of winning while, up the middle, they are one of the most rag-tag groups in the NHL. I wouldn't have minded at all seeing the Canucks sign Jokinen to play between Higgins and Hansen after Kesler returned, but he's simply worth too much.

WHL rocks Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Alright I would love to see someone more reliable say it, because it wouldn't happen, guy wouldn't have been a captain everywhere he has been if he wasn't loaded with Character and Leadership like he is. And no I didn't saw Kane's goal then switched to Flyers/Pens, easily the most exciting game right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Have either of Boston's goaltenders asked to be traded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Get real canuck fans Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Again, Luongo has not asked for a trade. He offered his services in a trade "if it makes the team better". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 My theory is Nonis wants the Leafs to get blown out tonight. So that fans will be angry and will be calling for change. That will make it easier for fans to swallow the high price that Nonis will have to pay for Luongo. Just a theory. Playing a goalie with 12 NHL games in the opening game is kind of a head scratcher after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
