CowtownCanuck

I'm curious exactlty what expectations people have of a Canucks defenseman? I have seen threads calling every member of the D core a buyout candidate or trade bait. We do not have nor will ever have Bobby Orr on this team. Get over it we're having a bad year, goals are going past our rookie goalie, it happens.

I think even Canucks fans were confused by the NHL pulling "designated hitting zone" out of their @$$. That hit should have been suspended, but is not at all comparible to the one on Burrows. Niderieder's hit was still a head shot, targeted or not, it should have been reviewed by the league. Too often the "unintentional" shoulder to the head in a "clean hot" causes injuries and concussions. Look back to Stevens on Lindros or so many others

Normally the difference between late hit and head hit is that the league, in light of the NFL, must take head hits seriously. As a result the NHL is forced to ignore the majority of head shots or intent to injur or they would have to suspend more players.

1.) Hit was on Burrows 2.) Burrows came back to play in the third No suspension, no mention from player's safety is my guess

Tonight's game against The Wild will be our biggest indicator, lose this and the season is over. Win tonight and The Ducks will be the next milestone

Do I read this left-to-right, or right-to-left. Because right-to-left looks like our PP. Strong brakout after a scary pass through the crease, all over the zone and lose the puck in the circle

Exactly, if luo had a good game and the team falls apart in front of him, the final score is 4-3 for them, or we lose in the eventual shootout

Watched the game with an Ilses fan, we were comparing which team would collapse worse, we thought we had a chance down 6-4, after all of the NY lost leads.

Would you be willing to trade Kesler to move up 5-6 spots in the draft?

Dear Season Ticket Holders, Please excuse me while I rearrange these deck chairs, pay no mind. (Tell the band to keep playing) Captain Gillis

Fire MG! Fire MG! #RoryForGM

I guess you are new to professional sports and many comedians bits on sports. "We" win, "they" lose, our team, so we traded Luongo. As for Diaz, he was a moderate improvement over Weis. So ditching him for a fifth round pick is a disappintment. To me it appears we don't want/need depth for a playoff run, it shows where "we" are headed as a team

How can everyone defend Gillis and say it's not his fault, he was obviously bringing more crap to ownership for Kesler. They're both in the same bed together

faaaaaaaaarrrrrtttttt :picard: :picard: :picard: :picard:

His head just dipped beneath the waves, he's longer treading water, someone throw the man a life preserver!

He was also the heart and soul of the 94 team, and was that player that nearly fought back to win us the cup in game 7. Something that was very much missing in our lacklustre game 7 against Boston. He was head of the NHLPA through 2 lockouts and was very respected by both the players and management throughout the process. Lou Lamoriello (you know the guy that got Shneids for a prospect), considered to be one of the best business minds in hockey had high praise for him. He played on several all star teams and an Olympic team. But you're right just an average player, no depth to this guy. That all being said, throwing him in as GM especially at this point, is just throwing him to the wolves. I've always thought a spot in management or assistant coach was fitting for Linden, if he showed promise he could move on to something like GM or Coach.

I was at the LA "moral victory' and the 9-1 Anaheim loss, and I think i still got a more entertaining games out of the deal.

Bazinga!

It seems to be an appropriate sponsor, they were pulling their pork out there tonight

On Sunday that's a clean hit from behind on Daniel

Anyone know what ever happened to goalie interferance? Even if the Coyote player was knocked down he kicked/kneed Lack into the net

All this and our top all around player wants out too. Moneyball hockey is lead skate hockey

Based on what we are sucking up on his salary, and the value half of the Canucks fans and press see in Luongo, I want to see a trade of equal value, a name for a name, not a star for a prospect. I feel really bad for both Matthias and Horvat, when you see the pressure Kassian is under from the fans

Re-arrange the deck chairs, strike up the band!
