Yeah yeah yeah, only thing you Canucks have any pride and are willing to fight about....that and maybe your beer....but that's not as good as American beer anywayQuote:

Our Microbrews are quite nice
So who do we all have Hawks or Bolts?
I'm cheering for Chicago because I hate any and all Florida professional sports teams....bunch of fair weather fans
I'm happy either way to be honest.
I'd like to see Tampa win because Stamkos is a great player and I want all great players to get to hoist the cup at some point.
Then again I'm a big fan of Toews and Seabrook, who are so underrated. How Seabrook wasn't up for the Norris this year is beyond me and as good as Kane and Toews have been, I think Brent Seabrook is a shoe-in for the Conn Smythe if the Hawks win. I like the "Dynasty" the Hawks have going.
I think the Hawks will win but I'm happy either way, just hoping for a great series.
eddie lack has been shipped off to carolina, which is a shame for the canucks, not because he is particularly good but he was a nice character to have on the team and everyone seemed to like him. Carolina gave up a 3rd and a 6th or 7th round draft pick so I think they really came out of this deal best but the canucks found themselves in a bit of a goalkeeping problem again(having two guys wanting to be number one) so lack is out, I would have prefered if markstrom had been traded but whatever.
Vancouver's goalie situation is incredible. To think last year the big question was who was going to start between Luongo and Schnieder... now both guys play with different teams. They better hope Miller, who I guess is mid 30s now, has some strong years ahead of him left.
So Eddie Lack is bad?
What do you think of us adding Wisniewski?
he's not bad but I think he would get off pretty easy with the media for some shaky performances because he is a fan friendly guy who gives a good interview.. Following the canucks this season many of the post games reports would go along the lines of"Eddie played really well after the first goal/goals".. he was letting in some pretty soft goals but would then step his game up but by then it was sort of a bit late :S.. He has only 2 years in the nhl though but also he isn't that young either,27 I think, I really hope he does well but I was never convinced he is a true number one goalie... For the price carolina paid though I think it's a good deal.Quote:

Goalie trades are always a toss up. I've seen Ottawa get rid of great goalies like Ben Bishop and Brian Elliot over the last few years for next to nothing, and now get rid of Lehner after 5 years of developing him.
I hope so, even though he's not a canuck anymore he is still one of my favourite players..Quote:

The Canucks need to get rid of their blue & green unis and go back to the old black, yellow, and red!
Did any of you guys see the draft? What do you think of the big trades made? Looks to me like the New York Rangers and Boston Bruins are out to make the Hurricanes contenders in the East by making such boneheaded trades.
I think Carolina made out real well. They could surprise next year. Maybe we'll finally see Sergey Tolchinskiy up in the majors. His speed and hands are incredible.
I guess we'll have to wait and see how Boston's first rounders turn out. It'll be years before we know if they made out well or not.
