  1. Oh you think GIllis should stay after all those crazy things in the past few years? We said the same thing about Daryl Sutter and the Flames, he made airheaded moves and tried to clean them up by bringing back the guys he sent away. But it was better done away with him after all that and now the team is climbing back up the rusty wall from the bottom of the barrel. ^ Should've kept Torres, the team needed some toughness and Ballard was invaluable and Sundin I think was the most real deal the team has ever had since Mogilny, I liked Sundin and his playstyle and I know he liked Vancouver but his time was up. Would've been much better if it was a few years earlier before his retirement.
  2. Lack playing close to Lu? HA! Garth Snow and Corey Crawford had better rookie seasons than Lack is having and both has become top level goaltenders for their team. Schneider is a significantly better goaltender and was properly circulated into the system by learning from a veteran and plenty of playing time in the AHL, not getting thrown onto the ice with a coach going saying "go get 'em tiger!" leaving you with little to learn from.
  3. I never thought Lu was ever a problem to the team, his stupid bogus contract however was. It was and still is a hamstring in the team's salary, and nobody should sign a contract to such as Lu and the Canucks did. Now they have to pay a portion of it until 2022(?).
  4. Hey Canucks, how does it feel to fall on rock bottom? Hope you got ice bags for your butts. That Islanders game was... atrocious, blowing a 3-0 lead?
  5. IMO St. Louis is the minature version of Craig Janney (which Vancouver gave up). (see what I did there?) I'm not even sure Kesler is happy about being held in Vancouver longer, are they going to repeat what they did with Luongo and deal with Kesler in the off season or next year? Also, some very interesting trades this year around the league, Gaborik to LA? That's adding more punch to an already decent offense, and Halak to WSH? That's Stanley Cup contender there if they can keep up the playoff chase.
  6. I'm not even all that clear on WHY the Canucks are in rebuild mode, and I was expecting them to do something with Lu last year but they sent Schneider packing instead which had me baffled, and now all of the sudden Lu gets sent to where he wants to be. I'm starting to think that there's a crack pipe hidden in Gillis' desk drawer which is clouding his decisions. Now their trip into the playoffs will be pretty short unless Lack just magically becomes phenomenal (like Corey Crowford in his first year). Biggest problem I see is the huge lack of offensive punch in the first 2 lines, there hasn't been much of that since Malhotra and Demitra, they got the defense covered though.
  7. Pretty sad that a Bears fan would be saying that. :D yeah keep this pinned for the humor of Clutch.
  8. Someone pointed out that Burrows avoided Daniel after the goal, that was a little weird.
  9. Burrows is more of a net crasher which fits with Kesler, Sedin is mores of a setup and shoot line which is why Samuelsson suits better (as did Demitra a couple years ago). Someone on these boards suggested putting Torres with the Sedins, and I said they wouldn't have a winger to pass it to because Torres would be busy jerking off to some Hawk player.
