relax man, 35+ win in a season doesnt mean the guy can get it done in the post season. 2 straight years he failed to shut the door in the 2nd round. A star goalie will steal u these games, and he has failed to do so under pressure

Or have a goalie that can barely put us into the playoffs we may aswell flip a coin there and then roll the dice to see if he becomes the next cinderella story


edit* i guess u guys couldnt tell i was being sarcastic

bobby lu let us down the 1st time with chicago
but this year, u cant expect to win with the clowns we had on defense lol
judging by how this offseason is going, the canucks could very well go deep next year if they keep adding good Defenseman and a good solid/big checker

some people can't slow it down and really take a look around the league. Yes the Flyers and Hawks made it to the cup final with rookie or inexperienced goalies, but did people sit down and look at the teams goalie out? Both teams can score, both teams can shut down on D and both teams have offensive production from the D.

lets compare the nucks last season to the two team structures

forwards who can score, 6 players with 25+g, check
Production from D, CHECK
actual defence, NOT THERE
depth, somewhat, but the team we have were too injury prone. the hawks had some pretty good depth on the back end
consistent goaltender, the nucks have this, experience and everything

It's all about finding the perfect solution. If infact MG is gonna beef up the back end, then once again, we find the nucks in a pretty good position to compete for even 2nd or 1st in the west. I mean for the coming season, we have a pretty good duo in net, the D should be better, and forwards upfront, pretty damn good

Not sure if this was posted yet but The Sedins will be on the cover of the new NHL this year in Sweden only though.

Side note Mark Streit will be on the cover of NHL in Switzerland.

What do you expect the poor guy to do?
The defense was crippled, our PK was fail, our top 6 players were injured, and Buttfuck was in his face.

He had his good moments and made saves most of the time. He was great but not amazing. He'd probably do way better with Mitchell in the lineup. Without help from the D, goalies are pretty vulnerable, remember, defense wins championships.

5.2m is a damn bargain for Luongo, any team in the league would die for his contract. If you can propose a better solution I'd like to hear it. Whining about it ain't gonna help. Luongo is an emotional player. HE WANTED TO PLAY WELL but when you have no help, you can't

Just my 2 cents. Take it as you please

Andrew Ladd is off the market
CHI gave him an extension

Where is the A on hank?

without the A, I can't tell them apart.

They've only extended him a qualifying offer to retain his rights. Ladd still has to accept that qualifying offer or negotiate a new contract with them.

ny rangers is a good example of a GOOD goalie trying his best but his defense isnt there to help him
confirm/deny i think lundqvist makes something like 4.5m but rangers defense is garbage

get Colby Armstrong a leader and a hitter with some what skill :D

hossa gets drilled

I believe he didnt wear the A full time

He was on a 1 year deal worth 4.275 prior to his 6 year 41+ extension and now is cap hit is 6.875/year

oh damn didnt realize sharks re-signed pavelski haha damn i was hoping we would have a chance at stealing him somehow

^
No way Sharks were going to give up on Pavelski after the playoffs he had.

Little Joe is part if the American 2way centermen movement haha look at kesler and parise and u will see. I would love to have this guy on my team

Pretty sure he had the A full time after Ohlund left. There were a few games this year where both Sedins had A's.

I know hamhuis is really good defensively, and obviously if we land on him we will give him a big role; however his attitude reminds my of Mathieu Schneider.

I don't think we should bring him over in my opinion. Plus we need to cap space to sign other 3rd and 4th line forwards.

2 straight years say we should go deep....hope it wont be the same shit the coming year.

Would you rather we set our sights on 9th place at the end of the regular season?

creepy lol

lets wait and see....


always next year ;) Canucks' fan fav quote

anyways, Ballad gonna be on team1040 this morning at 8:11 for interview
