Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Haven't posted in quite a while but I think my fiancee is going to kill me if I keep bitching about the Nucks, so here I am. I will admit it. For some reason, I thought the Nucks would show more heart than this. I knew the chances of winning this series were long gone but I thought they would come o...

Well after a one shootout hiatus, the shootout Luongo that we know and love is back Beat cleanly on all 3 shots. Oh well, really boring game and I didn't think we played very well, so take the point and move on.

I guarentee if the series had been flipped around, and we had someone retire and start beaking off the opposition like this, we would be called gutless. And thats what Im calling Recchi right now. What a gutless act to go on the radio and beak off like he did knowing he won't have to face the music ...

Schneider has looked awful on the last 2 goals but unless he posts a shutout every night, it seems impossible for him to win since our offense has provided him next to no goal support. Now I know how Lu felt in the finals :? Back to .500 again. I'm still not worried yet but a playoff spot is not a g...

And that's all she wrote for that game. Nucks had numerous chances to put up more goals (puck bounces over Hansens stick, Hansens breakaway, Bieksa post) and just didn't finish. That being said, are we really supposed to believe that the Hawks played a super clean game and the fact that they have ta...

The Wild loss wasn't as bad or as publicized as the 7-1 loss to the Hawks from last year, but we can only hope it has the same effect. That loss seemed to be a huge turning point in our president's trophy campaign.

The Nucks were staying at our hotel. We had our jerseys on and hung out in the lobby as they were coming down to lad the bus. We're not the type of people to harass them so most players just walked by. But Luongo approached us of his own free will and chatted for a few seconds. Very cool and classy...

I was at the game last night Question. Was it a Nuck fan who threw that hat out after the announcement?? :mex: . Ah, glad you asked as I forgot to mention that in my original post. The guy who threw it was in the same section as me and he was in fact an Oiler fan (or at least he was dressed as one)...

I was at the game last night, so just a few thoughts. We were sitting just to the left of the oilers primary net, so we got a real good look at Salo's bomb. Wow, that shot could've killed somebody. An absolute rocket. Luongo was better. Not great, but getting better. The goal I really didn't like wa...

Luongo said it best last night. He needs to make that game saver save. Period, end of story. He publicly recognized it instead of giving the "It is what it is" type of interview. He took responsibility. That's a good start. Now it's all about applied knowledge... we'll know soon enough. He has held...

That was an ugly (though entertaining) game. Poor start, poor PK, poor defensive coverage, and average goaltending cost us in my opinion. The pp had the chances to tie the game but its not like they were terrible. 2 goals and some great chances as well. Im not that worried about the PP. My concerns ...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe last year's historic season began with a home opener shootout loss too. Lots of things to like in my opinion, a few things not so much. The top line looked great, the saucer pass by Hank on the game tying goal may look easy but there are very few guys on this pl...

While on paper, it certainly looks like we should get schooled tonight. That being said, I do remember a preseason game I believe 2 or 3 years ago where the Flames dressed virtually their starting day lineup and we dressed nothing but scrubs and prospects and we won!

An unbelievable tragedy. I heard it on the radio on the way to work and couldn't believe what I was hearing. Yet another sad day in the world of hockey. My condolences go to the family and friends of those lost today.

As has been mentioned already, these are low risk decisions. If they come in and win a job, great. If not, you get rid of them. The slightly intriguing thing as far as Owen Nolan goes is he could fit the bill for the greybeard that helps win us a cup, ala Bill Guerin and the Pens in 2009 and Recchi ...
