Did you also know that without that revenue that those 6 piddly teams you seem to think that reside north of the 49th parallel are profitable unlike the Nashville Predators, the Phoenix Coyotes, the Tampa Bay Lightning, The Florida Panthers, the Columbus Blue Jackets and even the LA Kings (and so on and so on and so on)?

Nice try, but you lose. But, your Canadian so you're used to that.

Re: VANCOUVER CANUCKS VS LOS ANGELES KINGS ROUND 1
we call that 'Salary Cap'If the Canadian teams had so much revenue you'd think they could keep some of the top players instead of having them all come to the US to win Cups
The 'Chain of Command' is the chain I am going to beat you with until you understand I am in charge.
Re: VANCOUVER CANUCKS VS LOS ANGELES KINGS ROUND 1
Do know that the NHL has a salary cap now? Teams can only afford so much. A sad fact, yes. Since the Canucks can only spend so much on players, they spend a lot of things like support staff, trainers, nutritionists - as well as creating one of the best dressing rooms in the NHL.HockeyGirl wrote:I don't care much for this rinkrat clown, but I gotta go with him.

But whatever you want to believe is fine with us. You'll all be gone soon.

Re: VANCOUVER CANUCKS VS LOS ANGELES KINGS ROUND 1
In case you're not aware, there is something called the entry draft. Players entering the league are not allowed to choose which team they play for. And there is something called the salary cap. There is also something called the roster size limit.HockeyGirl wrote: I don't care much for this rinkrat clown, but I gotta go with him.

Basically, stop the Canadian bashing. I know we are all anxious to have the series start, but off-topic trash talking is not encouraged here.

you mean like that Henrik Sedin guy who lead the league in points this year? his twin that managed 84 points while missing 20 games this year? or that gold medal winning goalie? those 6 players with 25+ goals? youre right, we have nooooooooo top players here. no revenue? Canucks have 300 strait sell outs and some of the highest ticket prices in the league, the season ticket wait is over 5 years long. Teams like Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and (gag) Toronto, create so much revenue that they keep teams like Atlanta, Florida, Tampa Bay, and Pheonix afloat because they cant even manage 8000 people at their games. and the Kings are favored to win the cup? by who? Kings fans? as far as I know the Capitals, Penguins, and Blackhawks are favored. not the 6th place Kings.

Re: VANCOUVER CANUCKS VS LOS ANGELES KINGS ROUND 1
I love how your one shining moment in history happened over 200 years ago. It is so damn funny to hear Canucks harken back centuries in time. Well Madcomb the Romans once ruled the earth. LOL makes as much sense...Madcombinepilot wrote:lose...
kinda like the Olympic gold medal game?!?
oh wait...
play nice, or we'll have to burn down the Whitehouse (again...)

Re: VANCOUVER CANUCKS VS LOS ANGELES KINGS ROUND 1
Why do some of the Canadain teams do so poorly(btw we've won the division, with over 100 points, 3 of the last 4 years)? Because they have dummys like Burke(Toronto) and Sutter(Calgary) running them. When did they win a cup? They haven't yet. Congrats on making the playoffs for the first time in 8 years. I see all your superstars have tons of cup experience. You can't really trash talk when you're team is worse off than the insults you're throwing our way.HockeyGirl wrote:When did this group of superstars win a Cup?

Re: VANCOUVER CANUCKS VS LOS ANGELES KINGS ROUND 1
your right..
we should be talking about some of the great American wins..
- The crash of 2008
- 'Dubya's "florida recount"
- Search for WDM's
- heck we could even add in Vietnam.
...
OR, we could keep the talk around here civilized, polite, and hockey based.
