Any other NHL fans on the site?

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.

I am a fan of the Hurricanes....I used to play ice hockey as well, you yankees and canucks might find it strange that a Southern boy suchas myself played ice hockey AND lacrosse ......I only did so to teach yall a lesson, don't fuck with the South because we play everything like Football....I racked up more penalty minutes in ice hockey than I could count....same in lacrosse.....pussy ass ref's kept sending me to the box because when I hit someone it "sounded loud"

I'm sure you know this, but some of the southern NHL teams have great support. The 'Canes and Lightning in particular I think have pretty good support thanks to them winning the cup.

[El Kabong]

Well Greensboro always supported their ECHL team really well and they did very well in supporting NHL exhibition games before the 'Canes came along. Then we got an AHL team and the prices soared and some people lost intrest as it was no longer "Wrasslin on Ice". When the 'Canes came along it was no longer $5 a game and it took some getting used to, and by the time everyone got used to it the 'Canes were in the RBC Center in Raleigh......closer to a huge base of Yankees and Halfbacks(people who move from NY to Florida and then halfway back because of the heat)

[CFH]

Huge win for the Canucks tonight, Luongo awesome as usual. 1 point back of the division lead, playing the division leaders (Minnesota) tommorow night.

[SalTheButcher]

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.

[CFH]

I'd like to bump this thread with the purpose of giving the Vancouver Canucks ownership a big FUCK YOU! for firing the first decent GM we have had in the last decade.
The guy takes a team with no prospects, no future, and a bunch of shitty, overpaid vetrans; somehow manages to trade a useless piece of shit (Bertuzzi) for the 2nd best goalie in the world; somehow manages to restock the farm team with decent prospects; doesn't trade away draft pics like candy trying to make the playoffs only to lose in the 1st round like usual; takes the team to its best record EVER; I could go on and on, but you get the idea...
The guy is 2 years into a 4 year plan and they shit-can him, with no replacement lined up, right before he finalized a contract with the most sought after player not in the NHL for fucksake.
I'm this fucking close to becoming a Flames fan out of spite, at least they're a respectable organization.

Being a Canucks fan sometimes feels like prison-sex. Fuck.
