  1. yep without bure there might not been a new arena or a team there was a time the whitecaps and the lions out drew the canucks 40 50 k for a lions game barely 10 k for the canucks before bure came along
  2. technically unless you chris pronger then u double dip with a nhl job
  3. one is retired and others are on medical ,apples and oranges we are stuck with the penalty yes LTIR its a loophole and its part of cba so its not changing anytime soon yep cheap owners are going do what they wanna do its all within the rules ,
  4. using 5 d men on the power play units who gonna play d after pp is over ? the d men aren't gonna last if you did that
  5. woo can still play in jumior that's why and he currently playing in the summer junior tournament ,, and toni uttoneon , could be ranked right behind woo soon
  6. we get enough leaf coverage on tv , the leafs sucked forever , they sucked so much they got a first overall pick , the went out and got the best so called coach , and they sucked more to get more picks , . they then sucked in the playoffs , they sucked in game seven and got blown out and then they went out and got the big free agent , plan the parade the media said , then flamingo boy couldn't sign him till the bitter end , well they still sucked in the playoffs , once again , present day one of their prized player is sitting on the sidelines wanting and deserving what they just paid for JT , plus they lost most of their key supporting players and replaced them with plugs and like always the leafs will suck and will suck in future the canucks were a good team in the finals 8 years ago tried to take a few runs at the playoffs didn't work drafted some good players never got a first overall pick , made a few questionable free agent signings tho lately he has made up for those mistakes , just like some trades some bad ones and good ones , but overall its looking up for the canucks and the leafs will blow
  7. well maybe we have a top 9 and a bottom 3 now lol
  8. lol how can you say that with a straight face ? if he didn't whine in the media all this wouldn't have happened , right just like the uber incident in Ottawa you talk crap about the coach out you go lol
  9. well loui made it a big deal so loui made himself a target , don't blame fans for the rift . ever hear of damage control? of course green and jb are going to say its no big deal meanwhile they are trying to trade him ,
  10. blah blah blah Toronto signed some plugs it is important to note every team does it coles note version
  11. I know im going with prospects that are closer to making the team hence hughes demko juolevi rather than prospect most excited about which is hughes podi demko
  12. is demko in or out ? im so confused lol one says in one says out demko is technically eligible for the calder ? right?
  13. well since demko didn't get 2nd he get this vote again ,
  14. would trymakin do ? I really hope he will be back the way he rag dolled a few guys was classic , ,
  15. lol ok so how was it supposed to go then ? when jim takes over a team in turmoil? where would we be if jim weren't here , do we pick boesser gaudette trymakin petey hughes madden lockwood , sure some of the trades were bad, one was forced , it got what he could for kesler, , guddy he tried to fill a need a d ( everyone thought it was a good trade at the time ) just didn't work out , with some free agent yep he was terrible gagne I really didn't like that one , Eriksson well a lot of gms that year got screwed remember we could of got milan , beagle paid a bit too much , schaller , we definitely could of got a similar player cheaper, ,however jim made up for it this season got myers on a good contract , benn on a good contract and ferland on a good contract, yes he did get some stop gap fa such as miller vanek and others with boesser not being signed , notice how many other teams haven't sign their young stars yet ? plus there brocks personal life atm with his dad prayers to duke d core injuries its hockey it happens what can a gm do hmm bring more players in so jim fixed that with the sedins leaving did they do worse ? no they stayed competive with the same amount of points with young players and this year with hughes and other additions our so called cap strapped team will barely make a wildcard with 16 other cap strapped teams
  16. kmao and where did you get that notion from ? if any thing it was always bo to be a captain , pouliot is terrible c'mon
  17. point is guddy sucked and he his gone hutton not signed hint hint they suck , point made ?
  18. umm how did guddy do in pitt ? and hutton isn't signed but pouliot signed in stl that should tell you something
  19. whoa whoa back the truck up adam gaudeette says hello 5 th round draft pick he has been to Utica I think he is what you call a dark horse that came from a later round. madden 3rd rd , lockwood 5 th round ,just because they are in college doesn't mean they are not developing , college player make the transition easier because they play against 18-22 yo , junior 15 to 20 yo big difference , as for jake yep rushed in too quickly, but turning the corner and juolevi , give the kid a break he had bad luck with injuries , zack mc ewen seems to be developing fine on the farm , joulevi was in Utica before he got hurt , we have other on the farm as well be patient
  20. yep marky had a better year with a similar team as nj , where as scheinder had a worse year with a team similar as Vancouver ,, what makes Schneider the better goalie ? it certainly isn't c.s, stats c.s marky games w L g.aa s pct games W L gaa spct 16 58 27 25 2.15 .924 33 13 14 2.70 .915 17 59 20 27 2.82 .908 26 10 11 2.63 .916 18 40 17 16 2.93 .907 60 23 26 2.71 .917 19 26 6 13 3.06 .903 60 28 23 2.71 .917 stats would say marky has been the better goalie while cs has been trending downwards , like ive said if demko was more proven sure do it but demko isn't and c.s isn't worth doing the deal . , you don't go out get all those free agents , and then get rid of your starting goalie , if goaltending was the problem , would you not fix that first? you can get rid of loui some other way
  21. if demko had more seasoning ,as a goalie I would consider that kinda of trade , but since he doesn't no ,and as much as that would work in getting rid of loui you gotta keep marky , the defense has improved so in turn the goaltending should be better , lets be fair to the team and coach green lets see what the team does this year , I just don't think schnedier is a number 1 anymore its just too risky of deal at this time
  22. .wouldn't it be easier to just stay under the salary cap ? really your doing all that to get to gain what? a player ? we are not Ottawa we don't need to get the cap floor , we will get cap relief thru out the season with injuries ,trades or someone going to the ahl cough loui cough , things like that always happen , who knows maybe sutter or bear will be on LTIR , being tight to cap also has disadvantages too , I believe tampa one time couldn't dress enough players for a game because they had no cap space to recall players
  23. yep demko should be number 2 , come on, he is already on the team lol
