Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

no brainer... Lukowich and trade away Bieksa...plus Wellwood for a 3rd line center plus a pick

HOW SWEET IT IS !!!! A great FU to the Leaves and Rotten Ron... Burrows,, Sedins and Raycroft... Suck it up CBC and Leaf fans ... loving it

Anything over .500 would be a small miracle.. first half of the trip looks like our best chance to pick up points but with 6 of the best Canucks taking part in the Olympics.. its not as though it will be a well rested team after the Olympic break. and after the break its a terible schedule.. I'd set...

Not all bad news.. since Bieksa went down..Canucks have been playing better defensively.. and its given Lukowich and SOB more minutes plus given Rome a chance at the big show.. ( though rome still doesn't look at home in the NHL) hopefully Sami's injury won't keep him out of the lineup ( and the Oly...

Agree Canucks got a little lucky to come out with 2 points...

Interesting stat #3... Henrik's Shot % per goal is nearly double Daniels.. which means « a) he should shoot more.. or
b) he`s a better shot.or
c) both..
take your choice.

The Suns reporting a 3rd line of Glass Demitra and Samuellson.. with Wellwood riding the pine.. probably means Bernier playing with Kesler and Raymond.. giving us potentially 3 scoring lines.. hopefully doesn't weaken the Kesler line too much. I'd forgotten Demitra can play center.. Hopefully AV's f...

Hopefully it won't be a long term injury.. Salo.Lukowich, Erhoff and SOB should get more minutes. not much faith in Rome and Edlers having a terrilble year defensively..

PS .. Hanks not only #1 offensively in the NHL. but in #5 spot +/- ... a complete hockey player..

The Sun is reporting a new 3rd line look... Glass Demitra and Samuellson.. Whoopeee 3 scoring lines .. bye bye Wellwood..

You want a little ketchup on the Crow? Jelly? LB? SOB is getting more minutes every game. The dmen that really suck have been Bieksa and Edler.. SOB"s taken exactly 1 penalty in the last 9 games..

You didn't think the WCE fit the bill for at least one of those seasons?

No.. but close

Sid.. yeah I remember Schmautz.. tough , rough.. Don Cherry loved him one of the few bright lights on the Canucks in the 70's

Larry Goodenough said: Tiger Williams is the only player in NHL history to score 30+ goals and have 300+ PIMs in a season. He should be in the Hall of Fame. . or maybe they should have a new category? to include guys like the Tiger .. and maybe the most famous goal scorer of his time.. Paul Henders...

IslandNucklehead Said: Considering he has a 1-way deal, wouldn't he have had to clear waivers first? I asked the same question... guy said it didn't apply to young rookies.. don't know why.. ? He wasn't put on waivers just sent down to the AHL.. If they pick up Demitra they will still have to clear...

Toucan said: Well, this is a wise bunch. SOB took a stupid penalty and our penalty killing sucks. Agree PK sucks.. but SOB didn't take a penalty... Rypien, Samuelsson and Schneider did in the first period. SOB played his best game of the season maybe... tops in hits.. no penalties a +2 and actually...

Great game ..... Rypien is reincarnation of Tiger Williams? .. Glass wins his fight too... and Sedins got their magic back ... Good physical game.. SOB did his thing.. All around a good 60 minute team game.. Nice to see Deadwood in the press box.. Hordi and Rypien in.. new lines look good..

On a positive note .. The Rangers just sent Gilroy down to the AHL to make cap room.. Maybe some truth to the Demitra rumour? MG was after Gilroy before he signed with the Rags... wonder if he'd be part of a trade deal?
