That defence looks capable of dolling out some punishment.

Puck wrote:I thought there was a proposal at one point to add a second Defenseman trophy to reward the truly defensive D-men. The 'all-round' concept generally leans heavily towards scoring. Paul Coffey would never have made a list of finalists for a true defensive award, yet he has multiple Norris trophies.

By the way Per, if the voting included the playoffs, Karlsson would have won the Norris and the Hart, but for regular season it's hard to deny Burns - he had an exceptional year.
Good point, they should create a new trophy for the highest scoring dman & call it the Ray Bourque trophy, and then give the Norris to a true all-round dman, similar to the Selke trophy for best defensive forward.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

I still would of rather they had traded him for whatever. At least Blob will be happy that that horrible contract is off the books :mex: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Just playing Blob, just playing.
Meh ... he only had one year left and there are two way shittier contracts still on the team. I would have exposed Sutter but Vegas probably wouldn't have taken him ,so it's a moot point.

Tampa had to give up two prospects to get Vegas to take Garrison and that ridiculous Gillis contract off their books. We couldn't stop Vegas from taking Sbisa. Blobby "meh, he only had one year left" This after two years of moaning about Sbisa's contract and never giving kudos to Benning for getting rid of Garrison without having to give up assets like Tampa was forced to. Interesting

I had zero problem with Elmer trading Garrison to Tampa. It's what he did with the pick afterwards is where I rightfully carved him. I was fine with shedding Garrisons contract.

Tampa made that payment to protect Killorn as much ad anything else.

I'm back on the coast. With Telus I get a signal pretty much anywhere.

My liver is waiving a white flag at me. Got a 50th birthday party to attend tomorrow too.

Robert Macenzzi the sicilian will make a switch from his usual fruity beers to some of his nasty home brewed gasoline - Grappa, for the paryt. His face is probably redder and glossier than an apple.
