Nhl thread

[CFH]

I also live in Vancouver and am anxiously awaiting another season of disappointment for all the Canucks fans in this city. Maybe they can burn down Surrey this time...

If you want to see a game for cheaper, go down to the arena about halfway through the first period and buy a scalpers ticket. Probably best to do it on a weekday again a team like Florida.

canucks looked good v new york.... but I think the rangers were bad all preseason and were on the end of a long road trip ... Interesting pre season the canucks owned two poorer teams but took a kicking v the other guys... I understand losing to edmonton though, it seems to be everyone else in canada doesn't like teh canucks for some reason( I am not canadian so I am not too familiar with this) and with their young team the games would have meant a lot more to them... The san jose result was poor though...

What do you think should happen with the sedins? Last year of their contracts and they have slipped a slight amount since their best 09-11 still top class though but the canucks are so close to the cap already maybe they should let these fellows move onwards and start rebuilding. I hope they get resigned for sentimental reasons !

Playing nhl 14 I realised how bad some of the canucks contracts are.... everyone knows about luongo but what about booth :SS: who's idea was this even when he does play he has hardly contributed at all ....

A preseason games against an exhausted Rangers team doesn't mean shit. The Canucks are old, they lack offensive depth, and they have a goalie who has spent the last year and a half demanding a trade. They're fucked and I can already hear the whining of all the bandwagon, rioting fans.

Nobody outside of the Lower Mainland area likes the Canucks. The reasons are numerous: the team itself has long been made of cheap, dirty, diving, whining players. Then there are the fans. The bandwagoning, belligerent, and poorly informed segment of their fanbase is insanely loud - all they do is talk about how great the team is and then blame everyone else when they cannot get it done. Oh yeah, they also tried to burn down the city a few years ago. I used to be a HUGE fan of the Canucks, I watched or listened to almost every game of theirs for almost a decade. Now, I can't stand them (nor do I watch much hockey at all) and it's mostly because of the fans.

As for their cap situation and the Sedins - the team is getting older and they are definitely on the downside of their arc. That being said, they are still quite good. If the team is smart, they will try to resign the Sedins at a lower number. They're on the slide and have demonstrated time and again that they cannot get things done in the playoffs when the refs essentially throw out the rulebook and call the game by a different set of rules (which is unfortunate, because they are some of the classiest guys to ever play the game).
