They also predicted that the Calgary Flames would be in 8th in the West...which is :IDL :noob: Puck Daddy predicted that the Canucks would win last year. I think we're definitely a contender on paper but we've been a contender on paper for quite a few of the last ten years. |

and probably because the young guns (hods,shiro,shroeds,schnieds,rodin)probably wont get that much playing time because our team is so fuckin stacked. I wouldnt be suprised if sedins split the hart this year. |

who the hell is puck daddy? is that some fat ,no life blogger who sits on his ass all day spreading trade rumours? never heard of him. Hockey news the bible of hockey and a reputable source |

The west sucks now . What other team can beat us on paper? calgary ?phoenix? lolz |

if the canucks can get out of the gate alright its not hard to see them winning the west in the regular season. for most of the last few years we've finished within a handfull of points of top spot, but went worse than 500 in october and november. |
We seem to have pre season magic then fail hard for the first couple weeks of the regular season |
i hope luongo has his head on straight this year because for once we have a roster to get excited about. Posted via RS Mobile |
I think Lu will be fine considering that last season he had to put up with the Olympics which imo wore him down come playoff time. |
Woah man - no doubt we'll win the cup? Sure, we have a strong team on paper, but there are so many intangibles that just need to "click" in order to sip from Stanley's mug. I'm always wary of the injury bug that always seems to get the better of us... |

its because there is no pressure from the media during preseason so the Canucks play up to their potential. When the media starts getting on them thats when they start choking. The media is what really gets to our team |

Vancouver is hockey crazy and even during pre-season they get a lot of media attention. But whether it's a lot or not at all, it's pre-season and doesn't mean anything. At least half the games are played by players who aren't gonna be on the team and that goes for the opposing team as well. Also, they may be professional athletes but it's bs to say that media pressure doesn't bother them. They are still human. I recall Shane O'Brien (during the 10 game losing streak 2 seasons ago) say that he didn't even want to leave his house because he was afraid of the media and the public. I know they try hard to avoid reading stuff and hearing bout this stuff but it's hard to especially with technology the way it is today. |
Luongo should play no more than 65 games. |
^ Agreed, Schneider needs the playing time anyways We don't want Luongo turning into Kipper, hopefully he doesn't tell the coaching staff he wants to play all the back to backs Maybe I'm pushing it but I'd love to see Schneider play around 20 games if he does okay, Lu played 68 according to wiki last season |
I'd love to see Schneider get more ice time ^^ |
^ hopefully he's ready now.. i can only remember one solid game he had in net for us so far |

You boys need to tone it down. The Canuck's are going to go through injuries, long streaks of not winning, drama etc etc. You can't really make decision's on how they are going to do in the playoffs untill 15 games remaining, maybe less. Lets just refresh top 5 playoff problems. ( 1) Lou sometimes chokes. Solution - ??????? 2) Alex Burrows. Solution - Stop griping the stick so tight. 3) Coaching. Solution - AV has to be the dominant coach in the series. 4) 3rd line. Solution - Everbody>Wellwood:p 5) Size. Solution - Wellwood GONE. HeyOOOO |
^ were you jumping up and down when wellwood signed elsewhere? :lol i must have missed that post :p |

Keith, Seabrook, Toews & Kane all played the entire duration of the Olympics and were fine NHL post-season. IIRC, Luongo split the Olympics with Brodeur. For $8 million, Luongo just has to play above and beyond the defense he gets. He & people shouldn't be complaining that our string of $3.5M defensemans aren't playing like $6M defensemans. Quote:
Also mind you, I'm not too sure but the last few seasons, we were only the 3rd Western seed because all 3 western divisions needed to have their top team represent the Conference's top 3 seeds. Had it not been for that rule, we would be 4th seed twice coming into the play offs. Which pretty much means that we're just a mid-tier team; and have always been a notch below the above-mentioned teams. |
with the added depth on the blue line, it will help out Luongo quite a bit, making his life easier |
As long as Lu can make that one game changing save and stay solid the whole game, our D will probably carry us along with the Sedins |
