  1. I suppose this is part of the reason why the Sabres are at the bottom of the Atlantic... not to mention the entire league. Well, hopefully he starts to do better. He and his team can only go up, eventually. regards, G.
  2. I find it interesting that your interpretation of events should be accepted as "facts", while other people's intrepretations are merely "opinions". regards, G.
  3. If you take away the 12 goals from those two games, then you also have to remove two games from your calculations. I believe the number you want is 86 goals over 33 games, or 2.6 goals per game. True, Luongo is the primary reason for the team's success. And there is no doubt that scoring is an area in need of improvement. Looking at the last six games (and excluding the Boston game) the Canucks are on a pace of 3 GPG. I believe there is reason for optimism that they are starting to turn that corner. regards, G.
  4. Well, I'm glad we've all moved on from hating New York for '82 and '94. regards, G.
  5. He's not doing too badly for an overrated player (8g 11a in 32 games). He is certainly not being overpaid this season ($1.8 million), but that could well jump some for next season with the cap going up. regards, G.
  6. Okay. Following your train of thought about Iginla vs Jagr, and why one is a jerk and the other is a hapless victim of circumstance, couldn't the same theng be said for Lucic? He was drafted by the Bruins. He did not have a choice of where he played, and he is playing a style which gets him top-6 minutes in the NHL. Should he not try to help his team win? For all you know, he cries himself to sleep every night because he doesn't like the way he is forced to play with the Bruins, and should he ever leave them and come back to Vancouver, he would be a changed man and not hit anyone ever again.... So does this view only extend to current (or former) Boston Bruins players, or does this loathing cover guys from other teams who have never been a Bruin? Is Ben Eager a stand-up guy as he has never played for the Bruins? And I suppose Duncan Keith is the salt of the Earth as he has never been a Bruin, or is he still despicable because of his cheap-shot on Sedin (as well as being a major part of the Hawks running over the Canucks for a few years)? And isn't that hit equivalent to anything that Lucic et al have done with the Bruins? So shouldn't you feel the same way about the current Chicago team (and any former Hawks players)? Doughty and Brown aren't the cleanest of players. Shouldn't the Kings (and any ex-Kings) get equal time in your sin bin? And what about that Williw Mitchell guy? He pulled an Iginla and went to the Kings from the Canucks! He must be condoning their style of play. Is Ryan Stanton safe from your spleen as he signed with the Hawks as a FA? Or are the Hawks now a "classy" team as there hasn't been any recent playoff distress with them in a few years? What about Richardson? He was with the Kings a couple of years back when they rough housed the Canucks on their way to a Cup, or were they not dirty enough to give you cause for concern? regards, G.
  7. Yup, your opinion sets the benchmark for what defines a "disgraceful organization". Okay, got it. Does this opinion just cover a period from the 2010- 11 playoffs and on to the present, or does this go right back from the present to 1924 when the Bruins organization were first granted a franchise? Just curious here, if Iginla showed an interest in coming to the Canucks for next season then you would be completely against that idea, because of his "character issues", right? Would the same thing hold true for some of the other veteran, star players still in the NHL? Would you demand that the Canucks not sign Jagr if he showed an interest in coming here, or would that be okay because he had some time with the Devils to erase the taint of being a Bruin? And I suppose I shouldn't even get you started on whether or not Lucic would be welcome to play with the Canucks, assuming he were to express an interest in playing in his home town? Would your loathing be tempered if it was made known that he was willing to sign a deal with a serious discount, or would you still say no, regardless? regards, G.
  8. So, as I understand it, your complaint is that Iginla chose to go to Boston rather than see about getting a contract with another team, including the Canucks? regards, G.
  9. A lot of stressed out minds here. Hopefully the team can focus on the game better than a lot of the fan base. regards, G.
  10. Good thing they didn't. regards, G.
  11. Just curious as to how you achieved that figure. Is this based on a comparison of points over a similar number of games, or some other comparable? regards, G.
  12. The first step in Gillis pulling off a trade was achieved with Booth playing fairly well for these last few games, and getting a goal and an assist in the Ottawa game. Those who want him traded should be very happy with this result. If he continues to play well he could perhaps be moved (whether alone or in a package). regards, G.
  13. Stojanov... no, Antoski regards, G.
  14. Antoski... no, Stojanov regards, G.
  15. Wow, so much defeatism here. You guys complain about the team not showing any fight, and yet a significant portion of you have crumpled and already surrendered the game after the team has lost one period. Yeesh! regards, G.
  16. Well, for all you guys who have given up already, Coronation Street is still on. regards, G.
  17. The latter, rather than the former. regards, G.
  18. Hmm, I think you may be correct. regards, G.
  19. JJ Daigneault Corey Schwab regards, G.
