Any other NHL fans on the site?

Never followed it on telly as they don't have it over here but I used to love playing the EA games a few years back.

I was always the Philadelphia Flyers and Eric Lindros was my main man and goal scoring machine

Eric Lindros falls under the "What could have been" catagory. Concussions basically destroyed his career (look up the Scott Stevens hit on youtube... brutal). He could have been an all time great.

your right about hatcher, cant wait to go into work this morning and rub it in this guys face that told me that Canadian captain and the cup thing.
I like the sedins I just think if we can get them for cheap then we should try to. Naslund and the Sedins have said they only want to play in Vancouver which leads me to believe if they got traded they would instead just go play in Sweden. we could probably give up salo and miller for someone pretty good.

I know Nazzy has said he doesn't want to play anywhere else, but I've never seen the Sedin's saying that. If the Canucks are going to make a trade, they'll have to deal some of their defense, but Miller is only signed to a 1 yr contract, ending this spring, so he can't be traded. Salo also took a huge pay-cut to stay in Van, and he has a NTC so he won't be traded. The only D they can really trade, because of the fact that Nonis gives out NTCs like my high-school girlfriend gave out blowjobs, are Bieksa (who is so overrated its not even comical anymore, he'll be the highest paid Canucks defenseman starting next year because Nonis signed him to a huge deal after ONE good season ), Kraijeck (who would give us anything good for him?), or one of the young guys like Edler, Bourdon, or McKiver (sp) - who I do not want to see moved. The Canucks are in a tough spot, and if they waste the tenure of Roberto Luongo without adding any offense this off season, I will become very unhappy with the team.

yeah I dont wanna see any of our younger D guys go, I like all of them.
if they resign naslund they have to find him someone good to play with so we can have him the newguy and morrison as our 1st and sedin sedin pyatt as our 2nd. kesler burrows and raymond would be good also

Unfortunately, if the Canucks want to get some offensive, aside from free-agency, there's no other way but to trade some of the young D. I'd rather see Bieksa go than any of the others, he reminds me of Jovo with less offensive upside and more boneheaded defensive blunders. I think they'll try to get someone via free agency, but I doubt it'll be a Hossa-type player, at most it'll probably be someone like Michael Ryder or Brian Rolston. Hopefully then they could have a 1a and 1b type of system for the scoring lines. Maybe something like Sedin-Sedin-Ryder and Raymond - Morrison - Nazzy or something. I love the checking line with Burrows - Kessler - maybe Hason or someone. The problem is that there is no scoring help coming from the farm. Grabner needs more time in the AHL and I don't think Jaffray will get another shot, but I could be wrong.

BIG GAME tonight.
nucks vs oilers
prediction 4-0 nucks.

Oiler are on a roll, have won 10 of their last 12. I'd wager it's going to be another of Gary Bettman's beloved 3 point games, which is a fucking joke - what other sport has games that are worth different amounts of points?

I'm a fan, so I'm going to say 3-2 'Nucks in OT, but the logical side of me thinks the Oilers are going to steam-roll the Canucks. They'll be within 3 points of a play-off spot if they win tonight I think.

luongo is the man


and trevor linden is still the man

It looks like it's going to be his last year. I hope that they somehow defy logic and win the cup for Trevor.

Even I feel sorry for Leafs fans these days. That'll change as soon as you guys get a good team though. Were you pissed that Sundin wouldn't wave his NTC? I remember hearing that lots of Leaf fans were upset about it.

[Von Milash]

no, didn't bother me. the people it bothered are just plain stupid and have nothing better to concern themselves with.

I have been following the Penguins in the playoffs. I dont follow the NHL in the regular season, but am a Pens fan in the playoffs (i think that is the DEFINITION of a fair weather fan lol). Crosby and Malkin are great to watch, they always pull of some amazing things that leave me scratching my head wondering how

I am about to go have some smoke, lay in my recliner, and watch the game right now, and see if the Pens can get the Senators out in 4

I'm not a fan of the Pens, but I cannot stand the Senators and watching you guys kick the living shit outta them has been quite enjoyable so far. The Penguins have undeniably the best young talent in the game, as long as they can resign most/some of their talent to decent contracts they are going to be a force for a long time.

[CFH]

Hey Doot, or anyone else, what do you think of the Canucks firing Nonis? I think it's a idiotic, knee-jerk move by the now questionable ownership.
