  1. Great...shootout vs one of the highest scoring teams in the league...and the Canucks with shooters that can't hit the side of the barn.... Confidence is low... Why Torts didn't call a time out after the 3rd goal is beyond me.
  2. How was that a penalty? That wasn't "between the numbers" Ferraro - hit him on the side.
  3. Tell that to the Kings, Hawks, Bruins, (recent cup winners), Sharks, Blues, Ducks... Sorry, our D is nowhere near that...maybe, 10th....but they make mistakes every game...fail to clear the puck time and time again on the first attempt...
  4. I like Crosby for his skill as a player, but he's a hypocritical little whiner.... Get's hit by the Canucks helmet, then slashes one of our players, then goes and complains to the ref....
  5. Muahahahahahahaahahahhahahahahaaa!!!!!!!!!! If we had decent defense we would have won both those games! Sorry, our defense is mediocre. Yes...we're missing Edler...even with him we're not top 10 let alone top 5.
  6. You never answered me the last game - what do you think of our defense after those 2 games?
  7. Farhan Lalji ‏@FarhanLaljiTSN24m Ferriero & Dalpe are in the lineup. Looks like booth and weise are out. #canucks
  8. I just realized that the Canucks have yet to win a game in 2014. 15 games this month and most of them against good teams. If the Canucks can focus on the details the entire game and not give the Penguins too many chances, this may well indeed be our first one! Go Canucks GO!
  9. "a goalkeeper should have the ability to move freely within his goal crease without being hindered by the actions of an attacking player" Luongo not only was contacted 5 times, but was run over 4 of those times with deliberate intent.

  10. ^^^ This. Post of the year so far.
  11. Not looking good... http://blogs.vancouversun.com/2014/01/06/mri-for-luongo-weber-to-olympics/
  12. Looking forward to the Pats / Colts game - 2 teams that can come back from deficits! I'm hoping Luck's luck has run out. Go Pats GO!
  13. Funny as in "it's about time" or funny as in "what's wrong with you people"?
  14. I look at it more from a bang for buck point of view - ie, if I was an owner, are these guys comparable to others as far as performance. Here's the CAP of the top 4 defense compared to Ducks, Hawks, Kings, Blues, and Sharks. Only the Blues are paying more than we are. Are our top 4 the 2nd best of the following? I don't think so. Canucks Edler, Alexander » $5,000,000 Bieksa, Kevin » $4,600,000 Garrison, Jason »$4,600,000 Hamhuis, Dan » $4,500,000 $18,700,000 Ducks Fowler, Cam » $4,000,000 Souray, Sheldon » $3,666,667 Beauchemin, F. » $3,500,000 Allen, Bryan » $3,500,000 $14,666,667 Hawks Seabrook, Brent » $5,800,000 Keith, Duncan » $5,538,462 Hjalmarsson, N. » $3,500,000 Oduya, Johnny » $3,383,333 $18,221,795 Kings Doughty, Drew » $7,000,000 Voynov, Slava » $4,166,667 Mitchell, Willie » $3,500,000 Regehr, Robyn » $3,000,000 $17,666,667 Blues Bouwmeester, Jay » $6,680,000 Pietrangelo, Alex » $6,500,000 Shattenkirk, K. » $4,250,000 Jackman, Barret » $3,166,667 $20,596,667 Sharks Boyle, Dan » $6,666,667 Vlasic, M. » $4,250,000 Stuart, Brad » $3,600,000 Demers, Jason » $1,500,000 $16,016,667
  15. If you think "good quality" = mediocrity then I agree. Seems everyone we have makes mistakes - every game. That's a lot of mistakes that lead to scoring chances or just goals against.
  16. What do you mean 4 years? It's already started.
  17. The Canucks weren't "expected" to accomplish anything back then - I know, I watched them.
  18. Are you saying trading Schneider wasn't serious enough?
  19. It should have been a penalty shot. If Sedin was focused instead of playing like the game was over and got the puck out across the blue line, it might have been a different story. This team sets us up time and time again. Disappointing.
