he was basically bashing our past captains being too soft/weak/quiet. pointed out naslund being too soft and now henrik. some shit about no heart from our captains. i guess he forgot our 94 run and who led that team.

Dont play him he will get the message...if he stays you know its for the $$$$

It doesn't matter how, he's pretty much useless.

:fuckthatshit:
try this forum, it's more suited for other arm chair gm's like yourself.

I bet Lu would go to Tampa in a heartbeat. Probably Toronto too

He's not useless and I still rank him as one of the most sought after goalies league-wide. The problem really lies with Schneider; and how he's shocked everyone with how he's developed.

Whether or not you're happy with Luongo's current play, this wouldn't be a goaltending controversy in 80% of the league's clubs. It just is a controversy here because of what kind of goalie Schneider turned out to be; which I suspect a lot of people thought he would be good, but not THIS good.



Anyways, on a personal level, I really feel bad for Luongo; but on an objective level, it's clear as day that he doesn't have the same athleticism or agility that he possessed over 5 o 6 years ago whereas Schneider not only has his, but will be retaining it for a few more years.

However, I think in this environment, politics will win and the management will side with Luongo because anything other than that will reflect poorly on Mike Gillis' $64M managerial decision.

Well Henrik's no Linden, that's for sure.
I don't really mind Henrik all that much. It's Kesler who's been completely disappointing for me.
No clutch from this guy, and he's just been having a underachieving season altogether.

I like Schneider better than Luongo. But still, I think with all the issues that lie here with the Canucks,
I would still rather work on getting some players that have grit, can play with intensity,
and I'm not talking about just a "goon" player that just comes out for a shift to fight.

When your top players are getting pushed around like rag dolls in the playoffs, it's really not cutting it.
And I think this issue needs to be addressed, rather than the goaltending "issue".

Closer to his in-laws.

Who could we get from Tampa? Lecav?

One thing's for sure, I bet Pittsburgh would love to have Luongo instead of Fleury right now.

Man if only we can push this series to a game 7 and win.....................

one can only dream

Kesler worked out all of the previous years's off season; I remember where he was doing something crazy like 100 wristshots per day at home(and they were showcasing his little gizmo that automated feeding those pucks to him).

This year because of the injury, he had absolutely no conditioning going into this season.

Can we get st. louis? If not tampa has 2 1st round picks :)

sign stamkos for the league cap @ 12m for 1 year. do it.

Or Schneids + a pick to Tampa for their 1st + Brett Connolly? Something like that.

wtf is this shit? lu didnt even play this game....and you're talking about trading him? god damn...... vancouver really hates their goalies....

brett conolly:heckno:? i rather keep our goalie!

^

Chances are we can't move Lu (nor do I really want to, don't know why it's being brought up), just being realistic at what we might fetch. I've played against Connolly quite a few times, he's going to be good.

Has there been a presidents trophy winner swept in the 1st round in NHL history?

^ according to TSN, no. BUT the Canucks have this habit of being streak busters in the worst way so I don't even want to think about it.

Chicago (90-91), St Louis (1999-2000), Detroit (05-06), San Jose (08-09), and Washington (09-10); none were sweeps.

Washington, San Jose, Detroit, St Lous.

Edit: Damn, beat me to it.

Can I sleep for 1 year and wake up for the playoffs?

lol, Schneider let in less goals. So by default... :troll:

I believe 5 presidents' trophy winners have lost in the first round before, though none lost in fewer than 6 games.

holy fuck, san jose and washington :heckno:
