  1. I said off ice. He'll do what he's told on ice and the way him, westgarth and jones dropped their gloves as soon as the puck dropped tells me that they were told to get it going.
  2. The one flame I do have respect for after watching that is Mcgratten...he wasn't being aggressive or chirping, and just tried to be the guy in the middle. I'm glad that he keeps his role to on the ice.
  3. Another point I'd like to make is Gillis/Torts whoever makes team decisions better give Kellen Lain more games. For him to step up in his first game like that to defend this teams honour is really impressive. And the fact that westgarth has floated around the A for years with many 20+ fight seasons against the real tough guys....I'm sorry to say but that makes me <3 Lain. If Gillis is serious about tradeing Weise, bring in John Scott. Have him and Sestito in the lineup when we play these clowns next time.
  4. Torts had to put out the line he did to start the game. He's sending a clear message to his boys that they can't be pushed around. So when sh*t hit the fan he stood and fought like a man. This will go a long way with his team. This whole beginning reaked of Brian Burke's grudge against Vancouver. I bet torts went and apologized to his whole first line from tonight. I bet there's not one guy in that room that doesn't respect Torts now & I bet they play their asses off for him for the rest of the year.
  5. 15 teams used at least one, multiple teams used 2(which the Canucks did not), and I'm suspect to the kovalchuk retirement(if he was given a push) because jersey would have had to use another one. 1)Tampa 2)Philly(x2) 3)NYI 4)Toronto(x2) 5)Vancouver 6)Montreal 7)Chicago (x2) 8)Washington 9)Minnesota 10) Detroit 11) Colorado 12) Nashville 13) New Jersey 14) Edmonton 15) Buffalo
  6. good, because it already has and we're just doing the Calgary waivering/only fooling ourselves thing.
  7. My original point was that you shouldn't be picking on that kid as he clearly eats crayons and wears a helmet. Picking on retarded people is not nice
  8. Same kind of irony as thinking that the Germans bombed pearl harbour?
  9. But in all honesty there was about 20 other teams that had to make decisions too. I don't see the cap as an excuse, because all teams have to play under it.
  10. Such as......? That's like rebuttaling to an argument by going nu-uh.
  11. And you missed mine. If you were great by fluke once in the past, it shouldn't give you a free pass forever. EI; the Lou situation....embarrassing the poor guy, then having such a high price on a guy, agreeing with AV on the Hodgson issue was gross too & last but not least what he turned down from kenny Holland, then demanded for Edler. I think he was once respected, but is not at all anymore. I think Gilman would have a job instantly, Gillis would get one again...but probably not anytime soon
  12. And Twice Jonathan CheeChoo scored 50+ goals, should we sign him and pencil him in for the rocket Richard Trophy?
  13. Uhh okaaaaay??? So he likes it when Torts comes up to him and yells "what the frack was that, get it together" which you could clearly see on I think it was the 5th possibly 6th goal. Not the first time either. I think if Edler gets he chance to get baby'd by AV again or to play in Detroit, he'll jump at the chance if torts keeps making him accountable for his frack ups.
  14. I love #29 after tonight. IMHO, I think the moral victory/team building tonight was>>>>>>>>2 points, might get rid of the push around we usually get + lead to way more reg. wins and cut down on last minute collapses. First time they've played like a team all year. Torts <3 <3 <3
  15. I blame the X-Box generation. No heart. Sweden with the gold, Russia with the bronze. Those 2 teams are way more skilled with speed than anything we saw.
  16. Yup wasn't being a d*ck was just pointing out that he's playing a role he doesn't normally do
  17. Sometimes the games dictate how you play. If all the offensive players sat and cherry picked, we'd be getting blown out of the water right now. To me the downfall of this team, with the exception of a few players, looks like everyone wants to do it themselves.
  18. Wake up and watch the game, you'll notice lazar. If you haven't its because you're only expecting offense. He's been backchecking hard and playing defensively responsible.
  19. It was a chickensh*t call, by a chickensh*t European ref. I wonder if the Czechs would be feeling/playing this tough if each player was allowed 1 fight/Tourney.
  20. North Cariboo.... Lol uphill is sketchy, icy downhill is worse, but I don't walk nowhere until march or April
