Re: Thanks Burkie & Nonis
I have a feeling the Nonis offer was C.Schneids and Bourdon for B.Richards cuz Dallas wanted a goalie, but they opted for Mike Smith. We can thank the owner but if not for Nonis having the best interest of the team in mind, this team would be without Edler and Kesler (and maybe Raymond too) and wit...

Re: Thanks Burkie & Nonis
I think we can thank Aquaman as well. He's given Gillis the resources to make this team a top organization. Having a capologist must have helped at some points through the season. From the outside, it seems like the new team has made Vancouver a great place to play. Another big difference is that t...

Re: Manny cleared for Full Practice...CLEARED TO PLAY IN FIN
Apparently he was told to stay off the ice today by his doctor. Now the team is saying he is day-to-day and not cleared to play.

Re: Luongo's "new" style
Someone must be breaking hockey down by the numbers more intelligently, does anyone have some links to some forward thinking statisticians working on hockey?. Try this one: http://www.behindthenethockey.com Search for goaltending there and you'll find many articles. Most if not all of them say Luon...

Re: Luongo's "new" style
As for the Fuhr comparison... a guy who can basically get it done with a great (greater than ours by a landslide) team in front of him? Not sure that's saying much for him, but that would be just fine, if we weren't paying him that much for that long. Actually we don't know how much longer team is ...

Re: Luongo's "new" style
that individually Luongo has played okay, league average in my estimation and we're still knocking on the finals.. I'd say he's definitely above league average. Not even close to being great but clearly above-average. His even-strength save percentage the playoffs ranks third among goalies that has...

Re: Luongo's "new" style
That's what I don't get. If he wins the cup, you guys will shine his shoes for the rest of his days. I just think the team would be better off going with the other guy and getting out from under the contract. At the time of his contract extension, there was no other guy the team could have gone wit...

Re: Luongo's "new" style
Sure Brodeur and Roy made plenty of mistakes, but they all stood on their heads. Never see Lou do that. We saw that in 2007. It's just that Brodeur and Roy had a great team in front of them when they were playing at their best. Luongo never got that. The real difference was that both Brodeur and Ro...

Re: HYPOTHETICALLY - if the Canucks traded Cody Hodgson to N
Thats under the assumption that Manny is the same player when (or if) he returns. I dunno. I remember both Bryan Berard and Mattias Ohlund before and after their eye injuries & subsequent surgeries. Not the same players, not even close. This injury is worse than Ohlund's and about the same as Berar...
