  1. How can you say, "if he actually wants out"?? Isn't it 100% clear by his body language and his lack of denial that he desperately wants out. The problem is, it will be another Luongo situation. I would guess MG wants something like Tavares, a top prospect and a first rounder. Not going to happen and he will stew here like Luongo did.
  2. Oh yes a defenceman that is -27 will get you a really high draft pick. Maybe top of seventh round?
  3. I agree, the league probably has the canucks winning this one. The only question is by how- early lead or comeback win? What do you think Bettman chose?
  4. Do people realize how bad Edler is? Last time I checked he was -27 this year. He is not going anywhere and who would want him anyways?? I mean -27, that is something. Next worse +/- is Burrows at -14 and then Kesler at -10. I mean it is a staggering level of incompetence to be -27. If the Islanders HAVE to make the playoffs, they will NOT want Edler in their line up.
  5. Lots of people, including me, will say that McLean was better.
  6. Yeah, and everybody else is all healthy, seems so unfair that the Canucks get so many injuries. I wonder if there will be a ceremony to honour the gold medals of Luongo and Hamhuis?
  7. When a player walks, we get one of the most important asset there is: cap space. Don't you wish Burrows and Booth would walk away for nothing after this season: pronto about $9 million in cap space, enough to pay a Weber type of player, or Vanek if you want a real possibility. But will the walk? Zero chance.
  8. Past production doesn't indicate future outcomes? Are you kidding? Tell me then who will get more points next year: Sestito or Crosby? I guess Crosby myself based on past performance. Future performance is NOT equal to past performance but past performance is the BEST indicator of future performance.
  9. Every team goes through low periods and the Canucks are starting one this year. fans don't abandon their teams because it's a low period. If MG is as smart as he thinks he is, he will have the Canucks competitive again in 5 years.
  10. That is a very unrealistic prediction. remember, the Sedins are missing.
  11. MG will never admit anything he has done or had anything to do with was ever wrong, or even not the best possible action. He is a god in his own eyes.
  12. Torts can't be stumped, that's exactly how his teams are: inept at entering the offensive zone on a power play, key players that lost their way (e.g. Brad Richards). Torts is about closing lanes, blocking shots, anything that prevents the other team from attacking. The Canucks are playing Tort's game.
  13. Breaking news, the $7 million a year contract starts next season.
  14. The core is all NTCs, no blowing up going to happen, sorry.
  15. The Canucks have become a very good shot blocking team. More than 10 blocks again today!
  16. I am looking forward to seeing what the Sedins can do in 4 years when they have lost a lot of their quickness because of the normal aging process.
  17. Is someone saying Kesler is selfish and full of himself? Shocking. And some fans want more Keslers on this team?
  18. This is not about lighting fires. People have to understand that over this number of games, the team record indicates the team's quality. The Canucks are an average team, with a lot of holes compared to true contenders. They are what they are. This is not poor luck or players quitting, it's just a team that is not great playing like they can. I mean Higgins, Burrows, Sestito, Hansen, Dalpe, Lain, Booth, Richardson, Weise, Schroeder, this is not elite, this is a bunch of decent NHLers, nothing more. And the 'stars' are fading, Sedins, Kesler are not top level players anymore. Expecting more than this team has delivered over 56 games is being blind.
  19. It is the refs' fault like all canucks losses.
  20. Remember the latest MG move: the Sedins, $14 million a year for the next 4 years/
  21. The germans attacking Pearl Harbour, now that was a funny joke. I didn't get it at first, but man, it's funny, right?
  22. There is no way this team is losing on purpose. They are what they are, people should start accepting that. And they are not the worse team in the league, far from it, but they are not in the top 10 either. Right in the middle. Just because they are not a contender does not mean they are tanking.
  23. You have no idea what it's going to take? Seriously? How about 6 top 6 forwards, a few puck moving defencemen, one top shut down defenceman, and gritty but producing bottom 6 forwards. This team is as good as its record. Period.
  24. Which tells you all you need to know about the status of this team.
  25. We're talking the core has to be rebuilt here, thats not a month's work! You can drink MG's kool aid and hope that the retool will be done by february but it's not going to happen. Luongo, Sedins, Kesler, Burrows, Hamhuis all pass their prime and on the quick way down. Denial won't help.
