  1. Kings got blitzed tonight 5-0 by the Blues,so you can bet that they will be a nasty piece of business on Saturday....Canucks have to play a disciplined game....
  2. Should be a good game....Canucks this season usually play very well on back to backs...Unfortunately,I think you would have to go with the Hawks this game.....Look for Versteeg to take Bollands old spot of trying to get the Sedins off of their game.
  3. Seems like a carbon copy of the last game against the Stars..We dominate,but Lehtonen plays lights out....and no Canuck puck luck.
  4. I don't think Lucic's antagonist on Saturday was part of "our fanbase" at all....Just your typical mouthy geezer who probably gets in a brawl once a week..I'm sure they have more than a few in Boston.
  5. I find it interesting how trouble always seems to find Milan Lucic (and his girlfriend)...They had a public spat last year in Boston where the police were involved...and his girlfriends remarks about Corey Schneiders fiancé...Nobody knows for sure who Milan was hanging out with on Saturday night..Trouble finds trouble. Harassing sports figures is really unfortunate,but bad mouthing a whole city (to a Boston reporter ...just to confirm to the Boston masses that Vancouverites are indeed Neanderthal) over an incident in a bar at 2am ,seems absurd to me.
  6. This is one of those games that the Canucks could lay an egg....We saw it with the Panthers a few weeks back...Tortorella has to keep them focused...Oilers have been winning a few (mostly with teams that played in VAN/CAL the night before).
  7. It would be really sweet to get back to back wins ...However,if the Canucks come out of the gate like they did tonight against Colorado,it's going to be a long tough night...There was a lot of animosity in the last game against the Canes,lets hope it carries over tonight....I'm looking to the Sedins to have a good game,..I thought they were pretty quiet against Colorado.
  8. I have no idea what kind of suspension Thornton will get...but it should be the remainder of the season and playoffs.,..This is not hockey,or even sport.,just outright thuggery..
  9. We should win this one....Canucks had better show up,and not take the Preds lightly...i'll say 4-2 Canucks ,last goal being an empty netter.
  10. If the Canucks play the way they did against the Kings against the Senators,they should come out with two points...Ottawa have really underachieved this season.
  11. On the positive side...you had to like how the team responded after the cheap shot by Nolan on Henrik.....The Kings have been taking liberties with us for years..Maybe that has something to do with Tortorellas style as a coach.?..AV watched his Canucks get victimized constantly.
  12. That's a bummer...I thought everyone had a good game for the Canucks..even Booth looked good...They just keep having the rug pulled out from under them late in games,it's becoming a common theme by now...Discouraging to say the least.
  13. Unfortunately,this is not one to like....The Kings are the Canucks Kryptonite....Any other team,and I would say we would take it..As usual we will outshoot them ,carry the play and ultimately lose by a goal.
  14. The Canucks have had two top picks in the top 10 of the NHL draft in 14 years.....We are basically a victim of our own success....Now,it's starting to become apparent because we have no secondary scoring,or guys blossoming into their prime.Most of the elite teams..Kings.Peguins,Blackhawks all tanked for 2-3 years and got elite players off of the bat...I'm hoping we can follow the Sharks model and retool on the fly.
  15. I think the team has a lot of heart and pride,but it's clearly a veteran team cobbled together with bits and pieces.It's still a team that could make noise in the playoffs...I think the only bright light here is the fact that some blue chip talent will be coming next year (Horvat,Shink,Cassels)..Trading for a second line center or a #1 D would be a lateral move at the most in my opinion....
  16. I remember him...he was always on the receiving end of the Pacific Coliseum boo birds...!
  17. Vancouver is a tough market,fans and media are impatient..They would not have the patience to have a guy 'learn on the job'.Even Trevor Linden.Team Canada is not the NHL..you dont have to trade,draft,sign etcI am a Linden fan,but not as an NHL GM
  18. No disrespect to Trevor Linden,but great players do not neccesarily mean that thy're going to be great NHL GM's or coaches..Wayne Gretzky and Steve Yzerman say hello.
