NucksCup2015 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 it may be a little hard for the players wearing visors to play in the rain/snow. Though it would make for an interesting game... its umm supposed to be OUTSIDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure1994Mclean Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 The game is far from a sellout but apparently the NHL will give out free tickets to try to spin that story. As for not starting Luongo, that has got to be the stupidest move to make. There's no reason for you not to start the face of your franchise and #1 goalie in a once in a lifetime chance like this, no matter how silly the game may be. The only reason they would make such a choice would be to send a message to Luongo (which really? after what happened last season your going to dig up again?) and to incense the fan-base. I for one hope that the fans that go to the game tomorrow will chant "Luongo" throughout the game, just a unfathomable choice to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Dude. We got Sarah McLachlan and Tegan & Sara to perform. Nothing gets me more pumped for hockey She should play that depressing song from the animal cruelty commercials. Very suitable for Canucks hockey this year.

hsedin33 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Woooooooooooooooooow........... Snow adds to the whole mystique of the outdoor winter hockey game, so now its just an indoor game with terrible sight lines where the lower bowl cant even see the game and management is giving tickets away for free. Glad I didn't buy tickets for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFBR392 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I may be out of the loop... But who is "they"? What's the source for this information? Same goes for Lack getting the start... I thought torts never announced who was playing in net until game day. Where is that info coming as well? Sounds like everyone is in straight up panic mode since the kesler trade rumors started.

DeNiro Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Lol at people blaming the Aquilini's and Gillis for the weather. The NHL is running this event, not the Canucks just so you know. The amount of whining by this fan base makes it even harder to be a fan right now. Can we seriously stop with all the belly aching. Everyone has the same frustrations right now, it doesn't help to complain about every little move this team is making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes we can nucks Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I remember how classy Schneider was in saying Brodeur should be the starter in New Jersey's classic considering what Brodeur meant to the organization. Too bad Eddie lacks that same respect for Luongo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan kesler the beast Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Lol, it seems this organization just can't make a right decision ever eh? Personally, I don't give a flying hoot because I'm watching it inside my house on TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 BTW, for those interested, I found an article on the Vancouver Sun that gives a far more complete quote from Luo regarding his "I don't want to go through this again" statement that the Twitter reports took out of context. Wow great find. That makes me believe in him more. That initial tweet is taken out of context. Lui will lead this team to the playoffs this year and if we get a few lucky bounces he will hoist the cup and Disney will be knocking on the door begging to make a movie.

Brad Marchand Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Wow great find. That makes me believe in him more. That initial tweet is taken out of context. Lui will lead this team to the playoffs this year and if we get a few lucky bounces he will hoist the cup and Disney will be knocking on the door begging to make a movie. Who's surprised, it's Jason Botchford at it again. If he includes other parts of the quotation, there's no story. Oh, and one more thing: A decision on whether the top can be popped for the game between the Vancouver Canucks, wearing retro plunging V maroon jerseys of the long-ago Millionaires, and the Ottawa Senators will be made Sunday morning by NHL operations in conjunction with the general managers. The Canucks aren't solely responsible for deciding whether the roof remains open. http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/hockey/vancouver-canucks/Foundation+making+Vancouver+laid+down/9565436/story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Lack has lost 3 of his last 4 games. How is that "hot"? Did you watch those games? He did everything he could but score for the Canucks. I can't remember one soft goal he's let in in his last 5 starts. Exactly. The Luongo apologists keep blaming the offense for 2011, despite the fact Luongo played absolutely horrible every single game in Boston. They seem to expect the forwards to be able to score 9 goals a game. Lack has been giving a struggling team a chance to win on a consistent basis, and he's "not the hot goalie" because his team couldn't score? Give me a break.
