Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

Sweden beats Holland 3-2 and is now qualified for the Euro!!! :wave: :wave: Twelve teams have qualified already: Poland and the Ukraine as host countries. Denmark, England, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Nethlands, Russia and Spain as qualification group winners and Sweden as best runner up. Th...

Hey, Ohdee, guess you like what you see, eh? Adam Larsson logged most minutes of any Devils player last night, and he's an 18-yo rookie blueliner..... Eric Staal doesn't look quite comfortable facing him... :lol: http://gfx2.aftonbladet-cdn.se/image/13759734/480/fourByThree/cb224b12ff7ef/adam-larsso...

Luongo is not a great reaction goaltender - his shootout save % is not particularaly good. Can't expect to win them on his shoulders. Canucks shooters historically have not been all that impressive either in the shootout. I expect the Canucks to lose more than they win again in OT this season. *shr...

Smooth segue

Snygg övergång.

Well, Lee Goren was mentioned in the first post and Sweden in the second so,,, voila!

(And speaking of former Canucks in Sweden, I threw in Krog and Moran for good measure...)

Weise ain't going to get better if AV only gives him 6 minutes of ice time. TBF, Weise was in Sweden Tuesday when he was claimed. As is Lee Goren. He has 11 points (4+7) playing for Skellefteå in the SEL. That leaves him in third place in SEL scoring so far. Jason Krog has 10 points (4+6) in 8 game...

Just watched the game "on demand" and i'm not worried, this is a team which is going deep again. They were better than the Pens and just had to bury their chances, normally an easy win and now 1 point lost. Ballard as a nearly equal substitute to Ehrhoff, who the fuck is Christian ? Some 2.1 billio...

I agree with Reef to an extent. Luongo is over-rated. Furthermore I get the impression that other players like playing against him. Is he good enough with it all with? Probably, if he keeps the meltdowns to a minimum. Team Canada WAS stacked Roberto, get over it. Right, so the players responding to...

I'll be honest, I missed the entire second period watching the Yankees/Tigers game on the TVs in the hospitality suite. Not saying I am not a big Canucks fan, but it's baseball playoffs, and I love baseball...so yeah. Forgive me. Skipping hockey to watch middle aged men in pajamas playing stickball...

It's been in the 80's here for the last couple of weeks - great now, but we'll be paying for it in the winter. In the 80's, eh? Wow, I've only ever experienced that in a sauna... :wink: Edit: Hmm... I've long claimed that the US is the only country still using Fahrenheit whereas all others have swi...

Yup, hockey season has begun: http://cdnstatic.expressen.se/polopoly/bilder/2011/10/07/1.2583850TS1317969206693_defaultImage.jpg Photo taken yesterday in the province of Lappland. I live further south though, so I still haven't switched to studded tyres, even if they're legal between Oct 1st and Apr...

Seen an episode or two back in the day. We get a lot of British TV here.

Five of the top ten rookies listed are Swedes, and out of the other five one is called Gudbranson and one Johansen...
