  1. That's ur opinion because they are in the hockey hall of flame. To me it won't get any more elite than that
  2. You two are talking about different things... Fivehole was judging luongo as a player, while you are judging luongo base on annual stats. He's not a top five goalie stat wise in the last two seasons, but as a player he is still top five in the league base in his skill set and history ..... People who understand sports don't judge a player base on stats alone, or they will jump on any flavor of the month bandwagon when the player is on a hot streak.
  3. without Luongo stealing 3 rounds for us, we won't even reach the game 7 with the performance from the rest of our team. Yet in vancouver, stealing 3 rounds isn't enough. We have to steal 4 or our goalie is inconsistent
  4. I have said this countless of time. Vancouver is probably the only market with fans stupid enough to believe that our goalie costed us the cup when the team got to game 7 in SCF with 7 goals scored....
  5. no goalies are consistently consistent... unless you are talking about consistently bad.. if you don't understand that maybe you shouldn't watch hockey... Pouria was right, people are expecting hockey players to be robot and they won't tolerate bad plays.... The moment the goalie in vancovuer had a bad game, they will label them inconsistent or a choker.
  6. Am I the only one who think this Olympic roster is kinda the weaker one especially when you compare it to last time's olympic... For defenseman alone I just don't see how our current candidate could replace the gap that Niedermayer and Pronger left... Then for forwards we WILL miss the shark line... Hell even our goalies look weaker without Brodeur .... Can our young guys like Duchene, Hall or Eberle replace the hole from those players?
  7. never want Linden on any of the public staff position like coach or gm cos sooner or later he will be chew out by our fan base like all our star players/GM/coaches. No, i don't want to see the image of the city destroy by the fans.
  8. The same group of CDC users will always say the same thing everytime a new player joins our team, EVERY SINGLE YEAR Players are human. They aren't a bunch of codes in nhl13 and WILL need time to adjust themselves in a new system. This is getting really old... It's the same old crap every year with a different name in it.
  9. err what? first of all, Jordan is still 19 years old until the 29th in this month... Where did you get the idea of him playing in the AHL as a 20 years old? secondly, he scored 6 points in 6 games in the playoff last season with the Moose, so wtf are you refering to when you claim they aren't playoff games? Really Moneypuckoverlord? You serious?
  10. wait a min... you don't care about your reputation.... but you are asking the mod to remove it for you?

  11. lol you are like the positive version of Shawn Rocker... look at this rating...nice job

  12. come on~ score a hattrick tonight Bur
  13. Minny should be banging on their head for not picking Shredder....... I know i would
  14. can we stop comparing Carter to Burrows? Carter's "chemistry" with the Sedins was a result of the lack of attention the other teams put on the Sedins. The WCE line was still the top line for the Canuck at that time and most of the teams were still unfamilar with the Sedins' play style.. Throw in the fact that the teams were still adjusting to the new rules at the time, those were the big factors why Anson Carter can just stand in front of the net and waited for the Sedins to feed him to puck. Even if the team re-sign Carter for whatever amount of money, do people seriously think he can repeat that kind of success as the team's first line player? There is a reason why no one until Burrows can play and perform beside the Twins after Carter left.. it's not because Carter had chemistry with the Twins... it's because the other teams are taking the twins seriously as the Canucks first liners. Even if the Sedins are the reason why Burrows can perform right now, he earned his goals and points in a hard way. As long as he shows chemistry with the Twins, I don't see why people have to complain about Burrows has to play with the Sedins. It's not like anyone can play and be successful beside them... and I thought CDC should have known this by now.
  15. if you are going to compare one aspect of a player to another and call them "whoever #2", then my comparsion are just as valid as yours . If you want to discuss Burrows' drop in production without the Sedins, then just talk about the issue. Calling Burrows Carter # 2 implies that he inherit Carter's biggest flaw, which is standing in front of the net waiting for the puck. And unlike Carter, Burrows is also not useless without the Sedins. You just can't call Burrows the next Anson Carter just because he has chemistry with the Sedins. Back then the Sedins were unknown players. The WCE line was still one of the most fearsome line in the league and the other teams didn't know the Sedins' play style and they cycles. This is why Anson Carter can just stand in front of the net and wait for the puck. If the Canucks extend Carter in that year, i can assure you that he won't repeat the success he had with the Sedins once the other teams learn to check him. So can we stop using Carter as the benchmark of the third twins? Burrows earned every single points he scored with the Sedins in a hard way. why can't people in CDC just discuss an issue without calling our players names? o yes, you do know Burrows is playing hurt these days right?
  16. o so now the title Anson Carter #2 becomes goal scoring success in vancouver? what's next? call Salo our Frosberg #2 ? How about Raymond as our Gabroik #2?
  17. you dont even know who Anson Carter is and what Burrows can do other than scoring... comparing a player who can check, hit and grin when he's not scoring to a dude who only know how to wait in front of the net waiting for the Sedins to feed him the puck? Are you serious?
  18. You think the OP would dare to say something negative about Burrows again after all this? Whether Pinhead is clutch is unknown, but his point of views aren't that much better from Clutch even if they are two different person
  19. well Naslund wasn't as fast as Bure.. I mean.. how many NHL players in teh last 20 years who can skate as fast as him while being able to maintain a good puck control? but Naslund was one of the fastest in the league in his time. It's just that, like you said, Bure was a class of his own.
  20. we had players with great speed + skill before :D a few years ago it was Naslund, and before him was Bure. it's good to see we finally have a prospect like that again tho
  21. why? one is a 25th pick project in a not so deep drafting pool. Another one is a supposingly top10-15th draft pick in a really deep pool. White was never projected to be a first liner, or a superstar. Schroeder on the other hand, is a potential 80-90 points first liner player. You can't compare White's development to Schroeder and say White sux.....because Schroeder is suppose to be better than white in almost any aspect.
  22. He will 99% to stay in the NCAA for another year because he can't join the training camp for the canucks without giving up his eligiblity of playing in the NCAA. He can't join the moose due to his age, so there is no point to risk him to join the training camp in this summer. Even tho i think he is sort of NHL ready, it's not worth it to give up the NCAA right now just to test the water with the Canucks. also, no, he does not make White look bad. In the top 50 scoring in the NCAA, Schroeder is the only freshman (he's at number 4). This kid is special, he's not even suppose to be draft that late. White on the other hand, is probably doing what most late 20th picks did in the past: developing. White doesn't fail as a 25th pick, not until he finishes college and show us what he got with either the moose or the nucks. It is just that Schroeder doesn't belong to the 20th+ draft
