Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I don't think Luo will play for the next decade, but you never know. Rough night for you though. Luo - not really on his game - outplayed by Howard again. Would sure hate to face Detroit in the playoffs if we moved our franchise guy and had to go with Luo. With the entire second line now injured, and Toronto treading water, wouldn't be surprised if Nonis and Gillis managed to come to a compromise.

Italia2006 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Problem is, the team is so off that Tanev, Raymond and Hansen are shining. That's how bad it is. I strongly believe that the team is talented enough but lack something fundamental which manifests itself in its opposite; fomfort. They are comfortable. They are at home, collecting millions, barely playing the game they came to love. AV needs to go A 2C is badly needed Kesler needs to bite the bullet and play 3C if he wants a Cup A top right T1D is badly needed They need to outhit their opponent every night and HARD They need to play with more urgency They need to get hungry again They need to be scared of losing their job to younger, better players They need a kick in the face for putting up such a lame performance as tonight They need to better manage salary to better utilize talent Briefly said, this franchise is now officially a mess. Bring in Keenan; he'll clean up the mess. He'll toughen up the Sedins, he'll utilize Kassian to his maximum, he'll piss off Luongo and he'll play lights out once again, he'll get them hitting hard, he'll punish the lazy play and praise the 150%, he'll doghouse ANY who is dishonest; Kesler comes to mind.

Canucks_Hockey_101 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I agree - it's obvious who the franchise goaltender is. But where's your daily affirmation 101? One loss and you're going all Tony Gallagher on us. Try to hang in there. The team is much better than your assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsbergTheGreat Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I agree with you on most of your points. I don't agree on Keenan but I'd love to see Lindy Ruff come in. The La kings won the cup after a coaching change and so did the Penguins. Vigneault is laughing on the bench too much and it shows the lack of professionalism. Lindy Ruff is one of the best coaches in the NHL and I think that is the first step because we have too many issues that need to be fixed. I don't agree that we're a mess. I'd love to get Burke back here. Gillis has done a good job but he hasn't put a stamp on this team with a trade or a draft pick in my opinion.

oldnews Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Wow...You never give up... what's your Offer for Lou now... Lou sucked tonight... now you think is the time to call Nonis for the trade... what would you possible hope to get for him now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claiborne55 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 If I were looking at this from a goldfish perspective I might think Luongo's value fluctuates wildly from game to game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Is that right? Two points out of 9th. Really good team. Your Panthers team is an elite team right? Maybe it's time for you to re-assess your definition of good team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italia2006 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Tortorella, Crawford or Ruff is exactly what this team needs. Concerning Burke, I agree that it would be nice. What is nice about it is he never got a goaltender but built incredible teams. In this case, he would already have two great goaltenders to start with.

Claiborne55 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 If I weren't a Canucks fan, I'd enjoy watching you get what you wish for. Trade Schneider - actually throw him into one of your terrible proposals as an afterthought, and get fleeced. Bring in Mike Keenan. Good luck with your plan. Leafs have lost 5 straight. The 24 game mark was exactly where they started tanking last year - as did their young goaltending. I said the same thing days ago - the time for them to make a move was yesterday.

Neversummer Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Right now, the truth is we have two No. 2 goalies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 The time to make the trade was last year... Gillis is inept.. can't pull the trigger..and Luongo's value is dropping reguardless if you want to accept it or not. I wouldn't be surprised if MG waits till summer now to trade Luongo.

Claiborne55 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 The time to trade Luongo was before Schneider had been re-signed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Is that how you would do it? well...maybe you would ... But I'd Trade Luongo the day after the Schneider deal had been signed. doesn't that seem smarter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neversummer Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Luongo's value is dropping like a 2 ton rock ... it was pretty bad to begin with but now, we are stuck with 2 No. 2 goalies for the rest of this season and I don't know how long. What would make this summer any different than last summer ... Gillis couldn't move Luongo all last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claiborne55 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 It was a question. You made the claim that the time to make a deal was last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobopan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 yeah im just not seeing how MG pulls off a Luongo deal now. He has not looked good of late and that contract.. MG made a huge mistake here not pulling the trigger a long time ago. I think this is going to end up costing him his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
