MANGO

that looked like hockey..:-)

they could have a Canucks turban

hey we won something

linden is a hero to Vancouver hockey fans......why would he risk his legacy.

ok, what 30 goal scorer can we trade Dalpe for now, offer lasts only till the end of the game.

he felt bad for us, so he let us score

This will be the most.....managed game of the year, in an effort to make this high profile game as exciting as possible. I would count on it going into OT.

Edler, I believe will come around. Some of the best defensemen in this league never matured until they were in their 30's. He's biggish and has a long reach, the only mistake was paying him top money before he was a top d-man. This is a new trend in the league, thanks to player agents now running teams, contracts awarded for next years potential performance instead of last years performance. Remember the good old days where you were rewarded for a solid year. For example, you cant just pay guys Lidstrom type money and expect them to turn into Lidstrom, because that's what you wish you had. Just look at the Oilers. I'm ok with losing Kes, depending on what else happens with the core. You can bet that Kes has talked with the Sedins about this wanting to be traded as well. I would say that there is a 50-50 chance that the Sedins will retire after this year. I think that they will look at their stats, look at the concussions and injuries and the fact that the NHL is a meat grinder and realize that they can go back to MODO and be superstars for another 6-8 years, rather than hang out here and get pulverized for a paycheck with little to no fanfare. speaking from my own perspective at 46 years old. Once you have some financial success in your life the only thing that are a concern are family, health and happiness. They don't need money and they could go back to being superstars in Sweden for the rest of their careers, with a lot less chance of getting brain damage in a dysfunctional league, a la Pavel Datsyuk Kes wanting out is not a desire to leave but more of a wake up call to management to rebuild or go with someone else. My belief is that next years Canucks are going to be a far different team than this years. Gillis will recommit to Lu, keep Kes, make him the captain, and that will become the refreshed core on this team. Awarding the Sedins 7 mil. contracts was only a distraction from the obvious fact that they have already retired.

Puck luck and favorable bounces are created by working hard and doing all the little things right. You can't just put a mark on the calendar and say this is when it will arrive.

I swear someone has paid the team to tank the year, al la Black Sox

distinct kicking motion on that Edler goal :-)

2/31 on the PP

Kass...!!!!!!!

Luuuuuuuuuuuuu

torts is watching and getting a different perspective.

If we win this....will that queue up some....''the back up coach is better threads''
