Vancouver Canucks 30 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 http://www.theprovin...html?id=8336702 Here's the best quotes from the article: "...make no mistake when it comes to this franchise, the light is dying for this group which has been together for so long and played so well in this city." "...the core group is at the age where injuries will always be a concern so this has now pretty much become the accepted norm" "It would take nothing short of a miracle for this Vancouver team to overcome this deficit and if you're looking at what appears to be a certain first round exit at this point, you have to wonder where this team goes from here." "The Sedins have one more year on their contracts but thinking that they are somehow going to have enough left in the tank to consider a team centered around them with a realistic chance of winning a Cup is becoming increasingly unrealistic" "And with Lui at this age now, the game always seems to wear on him to the point where the later it gets, the more and more pucks end up catching him by surprise" "As this long Vancouver run of dominance runs it's course, it's going to be tough for the fan base. They came so close, but now the goal is slowly drifting away." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayStation Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Honestly if its not done this year, the Sedins wont win us the cup being first liners anymore. Getting too old. When their contracts up, I'd be fine with them retiring. Blow the team up, from GM to 4th line. Untouchables are Corrado, Tanev. McDavid 2015!

Tortorella's Rant Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 A rebuild isn't necessary but the team does need a huge make over. A rebuild in the sense of staying competitive, not a fire sale and rebuilding with picks and prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdeath Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 For once I agree with everything TG said. Except this line about it taking a miracle to win this series but that strikes me as just a heat of the moment feeling. I think in the craziness of the evening all of us felt like the season could be ending imminently at least briefly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a Fool Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I think the "light is dying" on TG's articles. Stick to the radio pls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck or Die Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 No, we shouldn't get rid of the Sedins, but maybe they need to take a back seat and provide a secondary role, kind of like Trevor Linden. Give this team to Kesler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngdad Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 TG has always bugged me. He may be right on this one, but he comes across as such a turd. His predictions are never on. He rags on guys even if they are playing well, as if he does not actually watch the games. He is extremely cynical and sarcastic and seems to have a big ego. He always wants to have the last word on anything Canucks related and its always negative. Also, his voice makes me want to choke him on his best days.

The Bookie Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Funny, less than two weeks ago I watched a Blackhawks game and saw a totally different team.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I listen to Tony Gallagher on the Team1040 occasionally can can't get over the fact that he has a job. He's an idiot, and his voice is akin to nails scraping a blackboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
