new GM, new players, sundin drama, now Luongo as captain.
I'm thinking maybe we might want to make a new thread once the season actually starts... or keep it going and make a push for this to be the longest thread in RS history (once the season ends). Quote:

Rule 6.1 in the NHL rule book says: "No playing coach or playing manager or goalkeeper shall be permitted to act as captain or alternate captain."
To remain within the rules, Luongo will not wear a C on his jersey. To compensate, the Canucks named defencemen Mattias Ohlund and Willie Mitchell, plus forward Ryan Kesler, as assistant captains. It will be their jobs to discuss calls with officials and take ceremonial faceoffs.
"He (Luongo) is not going to come out of his crease," Vigneault said with a grin. "We've already come to the agreement that opening faceoffs will be Mattias's because he's the longest running Canuck.
"Since (Mitchell) likes to talk the most, we'll have him talk to the referees."
The silly thing about this "Captain" thing is without being able to talk to the refs or take the face-offs, it pretty much takes away all the on-ice duties of captaincy. And in the lockerroom, it's already a given that whoever has the motivational speech isn't neccessarily the one wearing the "C". But definately good choices in the alternate captains. I think choosing Kesler was a move to help him motivate his game.
And I'm really believing the choice of naming Luongo captain is to show that the organization is to show respect to him, and to keep him in the long run. As for Luongo, he probably doesn't really care in 2 years time whether he is captain or not. If this team doesn't become a contender, he will probably leave regardless. (basically what Bonka posted). But I really don't mind this move at all. I think Luongo deserves it, and he should paint the "C" on his helmet and give the league the  , and say, "I can be the Captain. See this "C"?!"
Some people thought Bieksa might of been Captain, but he didn't even get the "A". To me, that's a sign that Gillis will trade him if neccessary. Well, I'm probably just pointing out the obvious, but no one has mentioned it yet.

Can't wait to see Bertuzzi play. Should definately be a game that will set the tone for the reg season. Look for some hard hitting and guys trying to get underneath eachothers skin as the game progresses.
I'm so glad I got tickets vs. Calgary. 2nd last game of the season tho lol I gotta while to wait.

i'd like to see this thread become the longest in RS history. don't forget the 5 pages? of arguing..which i can't even remember what the arguments are about. lol. as for bieksa, he most likely didnt get an "A" cause of his absence last year. can't lead if you can't play, right?

What the fuck makes you think you have the right to fuck with anyone's food? FOR YOUR FUCKING INFORMATION, the restaurant closes 10 mins after I get in, not 10 mins before. If the front of the line staff feel like serving me, then you're shit out of luck and you better make my food and make it right. You're just someone's bitch, don't act like you're the biggest motherfucker in town because you can fuck with someones food.[/QUOTE]

he's got great hands, he'll definately be here when the season starts
man i love the way we're playing all these pre-season games, imo it goes to show that AV can infact vary his coaching styles because anyone with any hockey sense can see that defensively as well as offensively it's different, there are also some new set breakout plays that utilize the speed of some players on our team

Wow we're up 4-1 2nd intermission. The canucks are really bringing it to the flames. That wellwood pass to demitra was dope. The canucks are moving the puck nicely and playing the body really well. I hope this continues once the season starts  | |
