Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Now this explains everything in my mind. Media must stir some sh*t up to sell thus creating the Lack&Lou controversy and now to sell more news they are saying its due to the benching. Pretty solid return as Mattias is what we would've been happy with and I am guessing Markstrom is the throw in for t...

Wow, good thing you're not a 1A/1B starting goaltender. After the first trimester the hormones should level out. Haha my wife just passed the 1st trimester so she will be okay ;) but my emotions are tied to the team so I am guessing I will be the moody one this time. And yes good thing I was never ...

Emotions can get the best of you when you have high expectation and an underachieving team. What also doesn't help is the fact that we have another baby on the way. Hockey is suppose to take away my stress but now it's adding to it. Hopefully some good trades and good puck luck will help. Let's star...

What did we do?

Haha thanks, needed the laugh.

And yes I am pissed enough to get out of my cave to post this.... 25 years of support gone... My money will go to the Sharks now...

What a dick move starting Lack over Luo. I know there is a thread about that but I simply want to say that it might be time to quit this addiction that is call Canucks Hockey. The management and coaching staff are bunch of dicks and the owner not taking action makes him a dick too. I can reason away...

I searched and searched but only found Torts saying he will let people know about who is starting tomorrow. Even the interview with Lou is just him stating the facts he wants to start and it's a special game. It's probably frustrating to not know if you are starting or not for the big game but nothi...

Rant about Ballard Hmm... I would think that a defenseman's primary job is to play defense and all the offense stuff is just icing on top. I really don't think plus and minus does defenseman justice especially those whose primary task is not scoring and not given PP time. Anyways from what I watche...

coco's take As I have stated a long time ago I think it wouldn't be such a bad idea to have both Luo and Ginger as our goalies for the coming season. Now that the cap is at $70 mil I believe it's even less urgent for us to get rid of Luo. Think of Luo as a very expensive insurance plan for our goal...

What a disappointing way to end your season but I guess now they will have more time to condition and gel together. Hopefully Gillis can make some meaningful signing. Our goalies can held their heads up high but hopefully our forwards and defencemen will work hard to redeem themselves next year..

Can the Canucks opt for arbitration without qualifying Raymond or can they go for arbitration and then try and argue he's only worth less, if Raymond wins you walk away ??? They have to qualify him first or he becomes UFA. Once qualified there is no way they can argue for a contract less than his q...

HW's quote I totally agree with you that it's ideal to keep both but a very difficult task. I am hoping that's the management's top priority to massage the number and see what's available. For the forwards I think having the two goalies will make Canucks an even more attractive place for FA to sign...

I understand what you are saying Nor but I just can't see it happenning. Lou is a competitor and a starting #1. Cory is a competitor and wants to be a starting #1. I just can't see how you keep both. That aside, Lou is 5.3 worth of cap space and to keep Cory we are going to have to pony up at least...

As much as I am worry about Lu's mental toughness I am not so sure I would want to crown Ginger as the No. 1. Much of what I hear and read here in the States about the games are NOT about Lu but rather the inability of the forwards to put goals in. As a quote unquote "elite" team, you can't expect y...

I agree with HW as I am sure most do too. While Lu was not at fault for the first two games Ginger just outplayed quick. Also the D seemed more aggressive and comfortable with Ginger in net. Wouldn't mind trying Lu out when we get to the second round (not if but when, gotta have faith) since it migh...
