Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

I think we know Bowness enough by now to not write defense pairings in stone.

It's a lot easier to look back in hindsight and nitpick at the draft picks, and the whole draft picks discussion is going nowhere except in circles.

Whenever the Sedins decide to retire, I still believe we will be a competitive team with young guys like Jensen, Kassian, Schreoder etc all doing well, and working out to how we want too. Plus we'll most likely sign or trade for a few top 6 players along the way, so I'm in no mindset to be worried a...

I'd do Getzlaf+Perry for Sedin+Sedin, but even then I can see us adding something else in that trade because Getlaf/Perry are still young and have more life in them then the Sedins. If I had a choice, I'd do Getlaf+Ryan for Sedin+Sedin just because Ryan could play with Kesler and have that American ...

Regarding Matt Carle: Pass. We need a more defensive type of defensemen that we can reply upon when Salo gets hurt. Alas, Salo is hurt, and who steps up into his place? The struggling, coach has no confidence in me, Keith Ballard. I backed Ballard all of last year, and this year as well, but it's g...

Salo pulled his groin shooting a puck, then aggravated it by kicking a puck later on.

No details on the injury other than that.

The scenario I often see laid out is a deal involving Lu for Lecavalier. I'd much rather have Luongo on the books than Vinnie's contract. THAT is a crippling deal. It's not just the contract and baggage that Lecavalier brings to this type of a deal if it was indeed based around Luongo, it's the fac...

With Raymond ready to go I think the odd man out will be Volpati. The top two lines are really clicking right now and the third line is doing all right. I don't think it does any good to have Hodgson sit at this point. I'd start Raymond on the 4th with Lappy and Weiss. Let him get his game legs bac...

RIP Rick, keep fightin' up there, eh. NHL lost a good guy. Hurts to see a 27 year old go this way.

I use ESPN's site because it incorporates the live draft and a salary cap which really levels the ice-surface on draft day. ... For the record, ESPN fantasy leagues kick Yahoo's ass in a major way (as of last October). That's interesting, so the salary cap is based on real-world salaries? That woul...

I'm in pools that basically, is like the real NHL and it's a lot of fun. I play these games on CDC (canucks.com of course), don't be fooled, the fantasy section is chill (there is a fantasy game that hates this other fantasy game, where commishs hate each other, and I'm one of those commishes, it's ...

Err, yeah. That's one thing he never does, and when he does, it's like a mosquito hitting a gorilla - good luck. Dare to dream. http://cdn3.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/44779/23224051e.jpg I like how all the Canucks on the bench are giving it to the guy because they know if you get knocked down by ...

Hodgson, it's your time buddy...even though that 2nd line isn't going to help him out much. Hell, I'd try fricking Lapierre there, see what he does.

My opinion on Luongo:

Please hurray up and become a true #1 starter Schneids.
