AV is gone when we lose this series. This team said all year the Playoffs were what mattered, and they have choked in epic fashion. At least the Penguins can score and stick up for eachother, and are playing the Flyers...old calamari wrote:Vignault has to go if they get swept as well as Kesler he is a fucking embarassment on display for the fans of this team. By playing Schneider instead of Luongo tells me that he is pretty well finished in Vancouver. Get rid of both and you free up 10mill right there. Trade them both to Toronto for Gardiner and a 1st or Shenn and a first just get rid of them.
I agree about Kesler. He's miles away from the guy that showed up against Nashville last season. He's been owned by the reborn Mike Richards. He's flopping all over the ice. He's pouting. It's a disgrace. I like the Getzlaf trade idea. Big body. Not a diving coward. Great playmaker that will make Booth more effective etc. etc. Both have had "bad" seasons so Anaheim might actually go for it.
Edler has been a tragic fucking disaster. Truly awful hockey. Makes Casual Kev look like Bobby Orr. He's been that bad. I don't know if it's time to give up on him just yet, but the idea of giving him a big money raise really turns me off...
Also agree about Luongo. There is almost no way you can go back to him next season. Do him, and everyone, a favour and move him to Tampa for their First (10th overall) and Second round picks.
This team needs to eat its humble pie, get their ego's in check, and come back next year ready to play hockey and acutally pay the price to Win a Cup. It looks like they simply expected to get back to the Finals.
On a personal level, almost no chance I buy the Centre Ice package next season. The NHL can fuck right off...
