If we can sign him cheap, I don't see why not. He's had a rough couple seasons and taking advantage of that before he turns it around might be a good idea.

I need to hear that! is there a link anywhere?

I think people are over-reacting. He probably likes Burrows, I remember he even said something like, "every team needs a player of his personality" earlier in the year. I think it's more a cap decision. If he had to pick between Booth or Burrows, Booth would be the player to keep based on based on last season and the amount of years remaining on his contract.

Go Habs!

ugh, was just about to spit a cheesy one liner I just made.

I'm neutral about the firing. There are good reasons why he should fired and also why he shouldn't be. It was cool to have a coach of his personality when he was here, but I think the right move was made in the long run.

Yes. Although I think a lot of it has to do with their fanbase. Also there are only 4 teams that have beaten us since 2009 (Chicago, Boston, L.A, San Jose) so naturally we hate all of them.

Go Weise Go!

dang

Yay, Philly. Let those Ranger fans know that AV isn't as great as they say.

Looking forward to seeing less Kings fans soon.

When is the last time we beat Edmonton before the season ended besides 2012?

I bet if they didn't fire Burke, they would be in the playoffs right now. Nonis is putting that team into another decline. When you look at 90% of the trades Nonis made on the Canucks, you will probably notice that he only deals with players that aren't good enough for the NHL or ones that are about to retire. Did get us some decent picks, but not good at putting a team together.

What does a President do?

This is why you don't blindly fire a GM when there isn't anything better to replace him.

That is some pressure. Make playoffs for 5 year straight years including a SCF and when your team is mathematically eliminated on game 78... your're fired. Gillis has made some mistakes, but his Canucks resume is better than most past GM's. His process was just started to roll too. The fact he was fired after last nights chanting makes this organization look shallow. Atleast allow him to finish the season.

What do you mean? Shorthouse and Garrett mentioned several times throughout the game that it was his last game. Even in the last 2 minutes mentioned it might be his last shift. Perhaps you were at the game and expected a show on the jumbotron? Are all 30 teams suppose to put on a special presentation for him?

Whenever I see Garrison defend on a rush, he tends to back off the attacker and just allows them to walk in and take a shot. Atleast Edler trys to poker check and give attackers a harder time as they try to cross the blueline

8 in a row... Ouch

Avs are way more faster than us so losing in OT ain't that bad. Was hoping for a shootout now that we have Lack, but oh well.

It's not about the initial point of contact. It's about the principle point which in my opinion is his head. There have been many cases where it's shoulder on shoulder, but the player making the hit has his shoulder slide up to the other guys head. To me, both angles look like they are head shots (initial + principle) and the follow through makes it look like a body-check afterward. I've also read other people saying that Burrows was reaching, was low or put himself in a vulnerable position? For anyone who thinks that, you can not be any more wrong as Burrows is clearly in a upright position as he is hit. You can even see niederreiters right skate push off the ice for that extra height Either way, the league letting this go basically says, "Headshots are OK Now"

My guess is he'll get one game. Even though it should be at least 2-3 based on the suspensions we've gotten this season.

That is EXACTLY what our powerplay looks like

I'm not sure how Facebook trends exactly works, but the Canucks are at the top of that little list for me now.

That backhand 5-4 goal had pull Lack written all over it.
