Vancouver Canucks Messageboard

I think the owners .. they are the ones taking the risks ... putting up the investment ... the players are overpaid employees ... why should a business owner lose money because the employees make outrageous demands ?? Its gone on too long ... the owners are finally fed up.

Sounds like an overwhelming vote the players will cave ... my thoughts as well.

Both Bettman and Goodenow should be axed though ... they have really buggered up hockey and its reputation for a few years now.

Definition of Bravery:

True bravery is arriving home stinking drunk after a very late night out
with the boys, being met at the door and assaulted with a broom by your
wife . . .. and still having the guts to ask: "Are you cleaning, or were

Importnant though for this site to stay onside ... we don't want to be doing anything illegally forcing us down or causing Brian any grief. The only way would be to somehow get permission ... not sure how you would do that though.

Sorry to ruin the fun ... !!! Back on topic ... I just heard this at lunch today ...

I don't think it was a mistake to put Dickenson in ... IMO the mistakes made were - the defensive did not adapt to man to man when they were getting beaten in the zone. - the defense sat back too much and gave Allen way to many "steamboats" to go through his progressions and find an open guy. - the ...

Now how can ya vote against the Lions huh ??!!!

I saw Ron McLean on last nite and he figured that the NHL season would be back in January sometime and then having a 48 game schedule. He said that with baseball playoffs coming up and the NFL season starting the owners weren't in a real rush to get things going as it was their "slow" time of year a...

How about a few rule tweaks that open up the game - or better yet: CALL THE FRICKIN' OBSTRUCTION!!!

I agree... the league shouldn't mess with the logo. It's not pretty, but it doesn't have to be.. people just have to identify it with the league (which people already do I like the old logo personally ... but maybe thats the problem they are trying to address ... maybe they think people identify th...

I am going with St. Louis .... yes the Moore thing was a big issue but I think both teams would probably like to forget about it. Colorado IMO would be considered a large rivalry, not necessarily the team that hates the 'Nucks the most .... generally when those two teams play against each other it i...
