To start ... what do you guys think is happening to the Detroits Red Wings ? Their inconsistant plays has me worry that their long dynasty is coming to an end...
The red wings will always compete. If lidstrom does retire then who knows suter/ weber could be a reality with the cap space void. In addition vateri took another step forward and proved he can contribute. They won't be dominant but still a playoff lock and cup contender. Their current struggles are primarily due to Howard's injury and inconsistent play since. If he's healthy they will be fine. That being said I'm sure they are hoping to somehow avoid Nashville in the first round.
As much as I don't like Calgary. I hope Iginla gets traded to a contender
That guy deserves a chance at the shot at the cup. If he stays with
Calgary he won't be going anywhere other then 1st round exit.
Super classy guy. Donates $2,000 for each goal he scores, helping the 4 Canadians in Salt Lake City with their hotel bill. Iggy deserves a better team.
I'm a huge Nashville Predators fan....just as I am a Canucks fan.
I'm really stoked to see the Preds in the top echelon of the Western Conference, and they did so many right moves at the trade deadline. But I don't care if the Predators have gotten better and the Red Wings have softened....the Red Wings always seem to get the last laugh.
By the way....watching a game at Bridgestone Arena is just absolutely awesome. Even thoughh the ice area is a barn like the Pacific Coliseum....the atmosphere is just electric. Southerners really know how to enjoy their sports.
As a vancouver resident, i hope to god i dont see another replay of last years cup. Theirs nothing worse then having to sit in a room of friends crying and pissed off, while not trying not to jump to the moon; then the riot, it allmost soured the win.
I went up to a cute chick and asked her if she'd let me take a photo of her for $30 she slapped me, she said to me that "I AIN'T A WHORE!"
But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".
OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~

I've been encouraging my idiot canuck fans friends not to jump off the bandwagon.
Funny thing about 'dyanasty eras' as the above two were stating....is that they start in very odd ways.
If you recall...When the Detroit Red Wings started their dynasty era....they were SWEPT by the New Jersey Devils in the Finals. But after that, the Red Wings were an elite team for MANY years after that.
So many Canucks fans are bitching..."Oh, we're not gonna see the Stanley Cup Finals for another 17 years!"

Painful as it was to watch him shut the door on Anaheim in game 7 of the '03 Finals, I love Marty. That being said, I hope they manage to get out of the first round of the playoffs this year, which I think they can do.
Dynasty teams then lasted a lot longer than they will now. Unless most of the core players take less to stay together, teams only have a couple years to really do some damage nowadays it seems. That being said, this is why scouting and player development is so important.
I seriously hope my Ducks (well Bob Murray) gets their act together for next season

I just don't want to see Red Wing vs Sharks again. God...if there is a team that dives more than Canucks ...it's the Sharks.
Band wagon jumping ? what is that ? My team was mathematically eliminated like 8 games ago. I have never once cheer for any other team.
my teams goes...
1. Minnesota Wild
2. Who ever plays against the canucks
3. Which ever team i hate less.
I notice a lot of Canuck fans have a second favorite team. weird...can't really imagine that.
Whats wrong with liking more than one team??
Hockey is a game...not a religion.
Whoever made that rule of only having loyalty to a single team was most likely a fat, sports obsessed person who treats sports like religion. And honestly....i have a few friends that are like that, and I cannot STAND watching hockey, or hear them talk about hockey...or doing anything with them related with hockey because they just plain out talk like they are retarded.

My brother and I were pulling for the Ducks after the Canucks got eliminated that year. Giguere was amazing during that cup run
Giguere was even more amazing the year they made the finals and lost to the Devils.
Boy those Ducks were such an underdog team back then....i am so shocked they got them to game 7.
I think he might be talking about the same one you are... 2003. Bigtime underdog team. Scoring by commitee (very spread out, even stupid Paul Kariya). Giguere was sublime, totally deserved that Conn Smythe. Undefeated in playoff overtime that year, and the only time he's ever been beaten in playoff overtime was against the Canucks in '07. Jeff Cowan scored on him IIRC. So sad to see that '07 team disintegrate, thanks Brian Burke!
