Guarantee we don't see PLOGUE & apollo here today....

WHERES your SMART ALECK face today???

PLOGUE apollo just wanted to know HOW'S our BUDDY LU doing today?

I'm HERE. & guess who isn't.....

I'M HERE & backing my mouth

You're the exact type of guy who will not be here after the game if Lu starts & gets lit up. I just think it's Lacks time to start being an early game & that Lu has played A LOT.... Sometimes back ups play better than starters, just like sometimes Weise can out point Spezza, Karlsson, Turris, Ryan, Kesler Burrows etc.... Settle down with your smart aleck attitude.

Start LACK & we win.... AV will expose LU.....

after giving this a lot of thought. why doesn't Lu just admit he cost us this game. Every player showed up but with that being said Edler Kesler & Bieksa made A mistake but also did soooooo many things right all night. I watched LA make mistakes all night but Scrivens bailed them out over & over. I'm not saying Lu has played bad at all but last night he let in STOPS HE HAS TO MAKE. It's called game saving saves when your team played FANTASTIC all night long......

actually I'm a supporter of Lu & shouldn't have said that as he has played well all season. But this is a big game & u have to Re focus not think about the goal that just went in.......

Hammer is tooo weak. dump him

Canucks win again & start our 5-6 game win streak. Wagon boys will all be back...

Hamhuis for B Schenn

Boyes was a free agent. He was available...

Kassian is turning into a great player...

its gonna be explosion time tonight folks. 5-1 Vancouver

D.Sedin - Kesler - Burrows Booth - H.Sedin - Kassian Higgins - Santorelli - Hansen Weise - Richardson - Sestito 1st PP - D.Sedin - Kesler - H.Sedin with Garrison & Edler 2nd PP - Booth - Santorelli - Burrows If we want scoring depth than something like this needs to be done on a regular basis so they can gel properly. One line scoring doesn't work.

That's what I'm thinking too.

ok then Switch my 1st & 2nd lines around I have no problem with that & actually see both lines playing equal time (eventually). Like I said who else is better than Kesler on our team as 2nd line centre? So that's why I put Danny & Burr with Kes so he has good support & Hank with Santorelli who he seems to already have some chemistry with & also Hank is our Best Centre which I think can handle guiding Kassian along as well as anyone else on this team. If you put Kes with Santo & Kassian I don't know if that would even be a 2nd line at all. So that is my reasoning on doing it like I thought but that doesn't mean you can't switch Hank & Kes to re-unite the ONE & only scoring line we seem to have. But at the end of the day you need TWO good scoring lines to be succesful these days.

It's called spreading out your scoring to create 2 scoring lines as we have all seen that ONE scoring line doesn't cut it in the NHL. Do we have a better centre than Kesler on the team we could use in the top 2 lines? If so how come he's not playing than? all the good teams have TWO Good scoring lines not just one. eg. Boston, L.A. Pittsburgh, SJ, etc.

D.Sedin - Kesler - Burrows Higgins - H.Sedin - Kassian Booth - Santorelli - Hansen Weise - Richardson - Sestito

Why didn't we go after Cooke. He is exactly the Bite Torts wants.

Love to see Gillis find us a Hertl or Lars Eller type of young talent for some of those veterans. & a young Willie Mitchell type of D

I agree. We gave away some of our prospects over the years for a Cup run & I'm sure lots of teams would love to add a Hammer or Burrows/Hansen/Higgins type to there team. Let's get some GREAT VALUE for our players so that Bo & Hunter have something to build around.

It's starting to get clear that we are not a top Cup Contending team anymore. We slowly seem to be on a decline. Maybe it's time to think about trading some of our veterans (+30 yr olds) for some bigger younger prospects that could gel together to form our new core. Move - Burrows, Hamhuis, Booth, Higgins & or Hansen, etc. (I feel like we have too many of the same type of players even though they are good not sure if that's the right mix) Keep a new core of - Kesler, Tanev, Corrado, Edler, Kassian, Bo Horvat, Hunter Shinkaruk, Gaunce, Santorelli & THE NEW Guys from trading those veterans which are still very serviceable players & could still fetch some good young talent especially to a Cup contending team willing to pay for our vets. Also re-sign the Sedins as they are great players to have around while the new blood develops. That's my 2 cents worth
