**VANCOUVER CANUCKS THREAD 07-08**B.Richards rumours swirling a possible trade here.

[nucksfan]

Canuck fans have been spoiled by the best play by play guys in the league since the beginning. Robson, Hughson and now Shorthouse. That's a great lineup of guys, but think for a second what it would have been like if the job went to Dan Russell instead of Shorty, like everyone thought would happen

i thought jim robson was the best play by play

[nucksfan]

oh. by far. I totally agree, Robson is in a class all by himself, it's a shame he doesn't get mentioned in the top 3 all time, Gallivan, Hewitt, Kelly, Robson, Cole, Lange, Hughson

[gaborikroenickguy]

what is hughson doing now?

[PrimeBane]

Any of you Vancouverites going to this card show?

[madchild1978]

what is hughson doing now?



Doing the Canucks TV brodcasts on Sportsnet and CBC Hockey night in Canada

[JOGADOGGZ]

Any of you Vancouverites going to this card show?

http://www.bossashows.com/

I"m going, plan to get Bossy and Perrault to sign the bases for me. I'd love to go to the October one there in E-town and get my Fuhr's signed.

[PrimeBane]

Might I be able to get a helping hand from you? I'd like to get Bossy and Perreault bases signed as well. I was just going to send them by mail order, but the info on their website is so wishy washy.

[JOGADOGGZ]

Sure, I've never done this before so lets work something out because i want both of my fuhr bases signed.

[JOGADOGGZ]

they didn't make it easy but its a win cowan with his first

[gaborikroenickguy]

hey madchild, u just want to do avatar bet again..up to you..

Rob

[wgsgecko]

NUCKS WIN! NUCKS!!!

[wgsgecko]

Down to the wire, another Luongo Steal.

[inverno-76]

For all of those naysayers who say Luongo isn't a proven playoff goalie. For my money his performances in games like this says a ton. His stellar goaltending in OT and SO's says he's a money goalie. I think it will translate well for the playoffs.

As much as I despise my NW rivals, I do hope that you guys make a run and I think you have the horses to do it. Smolinksi was a great acquisition.

[JOGADOGGZ]

Gaborikroenickguy what Canucks avatar are u planning to sport this time?

Vern i hope they make a deep run, everybody counted this team out even before the year started. Luongo and the Nucks have proven everybody wrong so far they'll prove that they can make a run this year.

[99gretz99]

who is this cowan guy? he is playing great

[JOGADOGGZ]

I know Cowan came out of nowhere the Nucks will need his grit come playoff time.

[gaborikroenickguy]

I don't know if anything me nor mad never got a deal in place, i will talk to him soon.maybe we will do something else.


and btw.luongo was awesome, atleast when we played Cloutier, I knew we had a shot now I never know :)

[madchild1978]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA ROB, BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH

[JOGADOGGZ]

I do admit that Demitra/Gaborik Combo is awesome to watch. Kudo's to those 2.

[wgsgecko]

Lightning tonight. Another good test and even better to see an Southeaster team. Should be a great match up.

[larry_chimp_man]

I have a strong feeling we can pull out another win tonight. We have an excellent record against teams from the Southeast Division and as long as we play with passion we'll steal 2 points.

[wgsgecko]

I don't like all this stealing of games. Nucks are getting the two points but are they really winning games? I haven't seen a clear domination of play since???????? I can't remember. Maybe the new NHL is to evenly matched and we won't see any domination of play unless its a blowout?

[larry_chimp_man]

I think it's also because of the weakness of the extra point in overtime. Every team fighting for a playoff spot just shuts down in the third period and prays for overtime. Take the Canucks for example. More and more I get the feeling that we're just playing for a tie so we can win it in OT. There's no point gunning for a win in regulation, risking a chance going the other way, when you can secure one point by making it to overtime.

I think the system needs to change. Either take away the extra point in overtime or make regulation wins worth 3 points. I just can't stand boring third-period hockey.

[wgsgecko]

How about they go to a system of 2 points for a win and no points for a loss. Get rid of the shot out and just have overtime till someone scores!

[99gretz99]

OT til someone scores could make the game last too long. Good for us but the player would prob vote no.

[Shooto]

At 82 games a season, you would see a lot of guys ending their careers playing overtime until someone scores. Tired hockey players = more injuries.

I like overtime in the playoffs, but I'm also happy with shootouts during the regular season.

At least the fans don't go home with that blank feeling of a tie.

[wgsgecko]

OKay , then keep the shot out and get rid of the OT. Or even just take away the extra point for the lossing team in the SO?

[pyrrhonist]

Sweet Xmas---they were throwing bras on the ice at Jeff Cowan!! :D :D

[wgsgecko]

Now that was a win by Vancouver 17 shots allowed and Cowan got a couple of D cups.

[nucksfan]

great game, very entertaining and a solid effort from everyone tonight

[Poeschek]

Nice to see a bit of a lopsided win for a change, rather than the usual one-goal nailbiter!

Cowan is on an absolute tear here, I can't believe he's got 5 goals in 3 games.

[JOGADOGGZ]

Donny Taylor just said Cowan might win the Rocket Richard Trophy if he continues on this torrid pace!...:p :p :p :p ...that will be the day!

[larry_chimp_man]

OKay , then keep the shot out and get rid of the OT. Or even just take away the extra point for the lossing team in the SO?

The problem isn't overtime or the shootout, I think both work very well, it's rewarding a losing team a point if they go out past regulation.

It takes away the passion and flow of the game when teams are just trying to insure one point. That's why you see the Canucks playing so many one goal games this year.

[madchild1978]

It should be 2 points for a win, nothing for a loss. An extra point doesnt need to be awarded, and 2 points should be enough of a reward for the players, regardless if they have to play 5 extra minutes or not.


COWAN!!!!! THE NEW NASLUND!!!! ;) :)

[Poeschek]

I think the idea of every game being worth 3 points is interesting too, a full 3 points for a regulation win and then you split the points if it goes to OT/shootout. It would defiantely put a premium on winning the game in regulation rather than playing for the shootout. It would sort of ruin all the old records for most points in a season, but Bettman and Co. have crapped all over tradition anyways.

I think if you make a win worth 3 points it will really split the teams up and take away from the race. It keep things interesting with teams being locked in a race for points with only there being a gap of 10 more points between 1st and 8th?

That's true I guess, I definately see the desire to keep the races close. I wonder what the difference would be between the two systems though because there isn't much of a race going on in the West for the teams that aren't in a playoff spot. There's a lot of jockeying for spots, but the teams on the outside looking in like the Oilers and Avs are sort of toast at this point.

In some ways it feels pretty artificial to give out points for losing though, sort of like getting a participant ribbon at the track meet. :D

[JOGADOGGZ]

Colorado seemed to play themselves back in the playoff race...that's not good for the NW div teams....we dont' need another team trying to fight for a spot.

[madchild1978]

I am not worried Joe....they are still 8 points behind the Wild, and that means 12 behind us. Who cares about the Avs. Their goaltending wont hold up, and they would have to play about .700 hockey down the stretch and the Wild and/or Flames would have to completly bomb. AVS ARE DONE!!!

[madchild1978]

Oh ya, and time to lay a whoopin on the desert dogs tonight!!!!

[JOGADOGGZ]

The Avs are rolling they beat the Sabres last night, now only 10 behind us and 6 behind the Mild........those divisional games this month will be make or break for them.

But in other news....game day bump vs the Coyotes...gonna head over to Boston Pizza to catch the game, hopefully the manager gives out free drinks again like Sunday.

[Shooto]

On a sad note, Tom Larscheid is talking about retiring at the end of the year:

http://www.canada.com/theprovince/news/sports/story.html?id=d8068710-7e3a-4f18-a9fb-09f1729a27da&k=13484

[JOGADOGGZ]

Another great win by the boys tonite...Cowan with yet anoher goal! next up the Sharks!

[99gretz99]

When are we gettin a Cowan SP?

[JOGADOGGZ]

When are we gettin a Cowan SP?


hahah that would be the day Cowan the Bra Barian gets an SP....I can't believe this guy was plucked off waivers. reminded me of when the Canucks plucked Gelinas off waivers in 94 and off they went to the finals. When things are going well they just go! Good for this guy, he's got a new lease on life here in Vancouver.

I wonder if John Garrett or Ryan Walter will audition for the Canucks Colour guy.

[vicnsand]

Do any of you guys know a place in the lower mainland that carries the RBK practice jerseys with a Canucks logo?

Authentix at GM Place has both the one pictured and the retro practice jersey. $119.99 I believe.

hahaha maybe i'll get nucksfan to do a custom of that pose...haha :p

Another Great win for the Nucks! Solid Road win Canucks are starting to build a nice gap in the NW.

[madchild1978]

Wow, they are almost 20 games over .500!!!!!



Anyone else getting really excited about this team?

[vicnsand]

Thanks for the info guys.

Don't get too excited yet. Let's wait until the playoffs first. It wasn't too long ago that the Canucks clinched the conference only to bow out early. I'd like to see if they pick up some momentum in the first round.

[JOGADOGGZ]

Exactly like I stated before in this thread....this is all great that there winning consistently but for me I will judge them come playoff time. They've won alot in the OT and 4 on 4 , the playoffs don't showcase 4 on 4 and shoot out so they better start getting it done in regulation.

But more importantly I love Jim Hughson's analysis on the Canucks and the Cowgary Flamers. The Flamers just keep getting further and further away in Nucks rear view mirror. I hope the Bolts stick it to the Flamers tonite.

[tjcurrie]

Who wants to snag a brother a couple o' playoff tickets if the Stars and C' Nuckleheads meet up ?

[TheBreeze8700]

your a fool, who would do that

[tjcurrie]

I dont know. Thats what Im asking. Quit repeating my question.Sounds like you're the fool. Besides, cant handle a little competiton or what ? And Im also kinda kidding aswell. Mr. Literal.

[99gretz99]

your a fool, who would do that

[wgsgecko]

Poll question of the day.
Would you buy Tjcurrie playoff tickets?

A) I pitty the fool, sure why not.
B) No he's a fool.
C) Never heard of the guy.

[tjcurrie]

poll question of the day
The Vancouver Canuck's franchise can best be described as

A) Pitiful
B) Foolish
C) Never heard of the Canucks

besides. id pay for the tickets. c'mon. you guys should want atleast someone to leave gm place happy.

[TheBreeze8700]

except they are ahead of your stars, fool

[tjcurrie]

oh yay. by 3 and we have a game in hand. and we'll win today and be 1 back. then you'll lose and we'll have the game in hand. besides, if you think 1 point makes up for 37 years of being losers, more power to ya.fool.

[madchild1978]

TJ, go back to the Dallas Stars thread man, no one wants you here.

[99gretz99]

TJ, go back to the Dallas Stars thread man, no one wants you here.
that guy jumps into all threads and tries to annoy boardies. Just put him on ignore

[vicnsand]

Turco has only made it past the first round once.

[tjcurrie]

Who cares if I go on other boards. so does everybody else. thats what this is for. i go on to b.s. and talk hockey. Some people are cool and can handle a little competition or chatting with someone who cheers for another team, the rest are cry babies. Guess we know which of those you guys are. Put me on ignore. What are we 12 ?

I came on here to kid and asked who wants to get me some tickets if our teams meet up, all i get is breeze and some other idiot yippin and takin it seriously. So I get em back and you dont like it. Suck it up.

Ya I know Turco's only made it past the first round once. But he's only been in the playoffs 3 times. People are too hard on him. And besides, thats one more round than Vancouver's won the past what, 13 years ? But if they faulter this year, and its clearly his fault, Mike Smith may be taking his job.

[bjk311nh]

Big game coming in Vancouver Tuesday........who wants to bet it will go to OT again? The Wild really need this to make a serious move on the division. You guys still have a game in hand and are up by 2 points.

[vicnsand]

Turco made it past the first round once, the same year Cloutier & the Nucks went past the first round (02-03). Thankfully the Canucks have addressed their goaltending situation.

Yah for sure I think it'll be another 3 pts game. both teams are playing extremely well so I can't wait!

[JOGADOGGZ]

The Canucks looked tired and a step behind....too many mistakes cost themt he game...hopefully they can turn it around for Wednesday vs Minny.

[madchild1978]

again, they lose one after winning a bunch. I can deal with it! Not bad for a team no one gave a chance at making the playoffs to in October.

[tjcurrie]

Turco made it past the first round once, the same year Cloutier & the Nucks went past the first round (02-03). Thankfully the Canucks have addressed their goaltending situation.


Ahh yes. Forgot about the Nuck's series win vs St.Louis that year. Lost to Minnesota next. Still, I beleive that's their only series win since the 94 playoffs. You guys definitely had a " situation ". Not sure we do. Like I said, people are to hard on Turco. He's only been in the playoffs 3 times. The 2 losses to Colorado were partly him, but the entire team failed. The loss to Anaheim, he played well but just like Cujo in the first round vs Anaheim, got beat by a hair by a hot team. So I dont really see us as having a "situation".

now, see I am not the only WILD fan that HIJACKS the Canuckleheads thread :)

[madchild1978]

HAHAHHA ROB!!!! We shall talk Tuesday night/Wednesday morning!!!!


Care for another "avatar for the rest of the month" bet?

[srv2miker]

An update on one of the 'Nucks prospects that I'm high on. He's a Jr and could forego his last year:

Minnesota-Duluth is coming off of a heartbreaking loss and tie to Wisconsin in their regular season finale last weekend. The Bulldogs ended the final month of the regular season at .500, going 3-3-2 in the month. Junior Mason Raymond (VAN) has been the best story coming out of UMD this season. He has the Bulldogs most consistent player all season long and currently leads the team with 43 points (14 goals, 29 assists). His 29 assists are a WCHA-best coming into the weekend. No skater in the WCHA this season meant more to his team on the scoresheet than Raymond did. He accounted for just over 44 percent of all the Bulldogs scoring this season - another WCHA best.

[gaborikroenickguy]

sure..lets do it :)

[madchild1978]

Ok Rob....one thing though....I think shootout wins/losses shouldnt count, its lame in my opinion. I say the win should take place in regulation or the 5 minute OT....if it goes to shootout there is no winner. What do you think?

[gaborikroenickguy]

thats fine..

[madchild1978]

ok, the bet is on. The loser must use the avatar chosen by the winner until midnight on March 31st!

[JOGADOGGZ]

Game day bump! last meeting vs the Wild. lets hope for another Win vs the Wild.

[tjcurrie]

Go Wild ! Besides the fact I like em, got 20 bucks on the Flames winnin the div.

[TheBreeze8700]

Y do you live in this thread? loser

[madchild1978]

Go Wild ! Besides the fact I like em, got 20 bucks on the Flames winnin the div.



Go post that in the wild thread!

Aslo the Flames would pretty much have to win out all their games and the Canucks would have to play below .500 hockey for the Flames to get the division...translation....you lost $20.

[tjcurrie]

Point proven. You guys are crybabies. No crying in hockey. I guess canuck fans are use to crying. 37 years worth of it. Is that why the pacific's so salty ? See, now look what you made me say.

Breeze youre always the first to throw out the name calling. Loser, fool. What are you 12 ? Doubt youd be acting so tough if this wasnt just over the computer. Tough guy. And I may come on here once every month or more. Then youre always the first to be there with some idiotic defensive response. So who lives on this thread ? Quit stalking me.

And the Flames are only 3 back. With 1 game vs. I hardly think it takes a miracle to catch you guys. Not saying they will, but you're making a mountain outta a molehill.

You guys need to relax. Its a sports board ! For talking sports ! Get over it.

[gaborikroenickguy]

I only hijack this thread when the wild play the canucks before/or after... and we dont have a Wild thread because it would just be me and bjk posting :)

[madchild1978]

No TJ, your missing the point here. Rob (gaborikroenickguy) comes in here and lightheartedly jokes around with us.....you come in here with an arrogant attitude and proceed to piss people off. I get that you are a Stars fan, and are talking smack, but you do it with an arrogance that rubs people the wrong way. If you lightheartedly poked fun, and didnt think you were always right, maybe you would be more welcome in here. Otherwise, check your arrogance at the door or just stay out man.

Ya, sometimes I can be like that, but who doesnt get like that at times. Besides. it is all in fun. Check my last 2 posts on here. The first was asking if someone wanted to score me some playoff tickets if our teams meet up. Then breeze called me a fool and of course it was on. Then I said go Minny because I have a 20 dollar bet on the Flames and boner poked his worthless nose in it with the name calling again. Thats exactly the point right there. If it wasnt for his ( and others') dummy comments right after you'd find I can be pretty civil and b.s. light heartedly with anyone. That breeze needs to check his ego and his arrogance. Not sure why he has either in the first place. But he's on the computer , so he can act as tough as he wants.

[madchild1978]

I am just saying TJ, if you were just chilled like Rob (gaborikroenickguy) this wouldnt be an issue. Thats it thats all.

[tjcurrie]

I am just saying TJ, if you were just chilled like Rob (gaborikroenickguy) this wouldnt be an issue. Thats it thats all.

Hey man, cool, I understand. But what Im saying is check my last 2 posts on here. Chilled. And breeze decides to act tough and then its on. And Ive probably only been on this thread like 4 times. Not 4 total posts because of course when youre in a heated back and forth internet yip fest. But Ive only come on here like 4 times. Thats hardly enough to be considered some kind of aggitator. But like I said, check my last 2 posts that got breeze's nice 12 year old's responses, chilled as a polar bears' toenails.

[madchild1978]

as long as you see what i mean. When you first stopped by our thread here you were very arrogant, and people got pissed because of that. Continue to be chilled and all will be well.

[tjcurrie]

No prob. Ive been chilled and I'll continue. But if whats his name starts in, I cant be held accountable. He's a goof. Period. Anyways, Im outta here for now. Later.

I agree with Scotty.

2-0 Canucks in the 1st!

[gaborikroenickguy]

:) OT Win baby! Madchild your avatar will look very good.. I am thinking a Minnesota Wild one..will be good enough..

Sorry boys I played for a tie in oddset tonight but I was still hoping for an O/T win :(

[bjk311nh]

I only hijack this thread when the wild play the canucks before/or after... and we dont have a Wild thread because it would just be me and bjk posting :)

Don't forget all the Flames/Oilers/Canucks/Avs fans to bash us :D .

Good win. It would be nice if they could win more games in regulation but obviously Vancouver is a tough team and to get the win was nice. Too bad for all of us the Sharks romped Chicago. Who knows? Maybe we'll meeet again in the playoffs. And where the hell is Manny :mad: My fantasy team will need him for the playoffs next week.

[gaborikroenickguy]

madchild is scotty, and thanks for the support tj!wooooooooooooooo I yelled alot during this game.. because of an avatar :)

[JOGADOGGZ]

Oh well, Too bad they gave up a rare 2-0 lead but you have to give the Mild credit they kept grinding and grinding away and that goal that luongo gave up on Rolston was the begining of the end.

[madchild1978]

man, this avatar makes me wanna puke :(

[gaborikroenickguy]

man, this avatar makes me wanna puke :(
I think it looks PURRRRRTTTY :)

[wgsgecko]

Now you have a reason to be a madchild.

[tjcurrie]

man, this avatar makes me wanna puke :(

I hardly recognized you. Looks good.

[madchild1978]

again, i woke up, fired up the computer, hopped on here, saw my avatar, and threw up a little bit..........this place feels like bizarro land with that UGLY avatar.

[tjcurrie]

Maybe you'll grow to like it then become a Minnesota Wild fan. Don't know how you do it though. I'd never put up an oiler avatar. I'd be welching on that bet for sure.

[madchild1978]

There is NO WAY IN HELL I would EVER become a fan of the Wild, or any other team. I have stuck with the Canucks for the first 28 years of my life, and will continue! Wether they finally win a cup or not :)

Good to hear that loyalty. Ive been through some rough years as Ive been a Stars fan the first 28 of my life. Finally seeing divedends.

[JOGADOGGZ]

game day bump! the boys play the Blues tonite....should be another tough one against the revived Blues team.

[JOGADOGGZ]

Scotty that Avatar is so Ugly!

Scotty that Avatar is so Ugly!
I THINK IT IS PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[JOGADOGGZ]

1-0 Hank Scores....

Boy its painful watching these 2 teams play each other, the Canucks Patience vs the Blues Wall or Trap......

[TheBreeze8700]

tjcurrie is a loser lol...this is so much fun, im so arrogant and have a massive ego lol

[JOGADOGGZ]

2-1

[JOGADOGGZ]

2-2 unreal! can't believe they blow another frikin lead after being up 2-0.....They deserve to loose now...

[bjk311nh]

Man that was some false hope......good win.

[JOGADOGGZ]

Sedin to Sedin Scores!!!

Another OT win, should of won in Regulation but don't matter because Blues are out anyways!

[Poeschek]

For whatever reason, they seem to have trouble holding leads these days. In January and February, it seemed pretty much a given that they would hold a third-period lead.

Smolinski really needs to bury some goals. If he and Naslund could pop a few goals, they'd be in much better shape.

[madchild1978]

Dont undercut the St.Louis team guys. They are 22-12-7 since Andy Murray took over, and they are a HARD team to beat!!!

[JOGADOGGZ]

Detroit will be another tough game, the Preds, then the AVS twice, looks like a tough stretch for the Canucks tail end for the season.

The Flamers have it bad though, still can't believe how bad there road record is and still sitting in 8th, they should be below that.

[99gretz99]

Detroit is one of the best teams. I heard the coach was at the louis game scouting. Any confirmation no Bert on Saturday?

[JOGADOGGZ]

no big bert!

The Canucks have beaten detroit twice already this year and both at the Joe Louis Arena too so....should be a good one Sat night.

Let's " pretend " for a second you guys win the division. Finish at 3rd. Who do you want to/not want to play ? Or does it matter ?

Any team in the West will be tough doesn't matter who it is. But Minnesota scares me for some reason. If the Canucks don't go far I'm picking Minny.

[Poeschek]

I wouldn't want to play Calgary or Minnesota, I think the best case scenario is to avoid a first-round divisional matchup because those games are so emotional. Those teams would give 110% to beat the Canucks and even if they won the series, it would probably be a long, draining series.

[vicnsand]

I don't think it matters in the playoffs....ever. Edmonton fans, and Calgary fans before them, will tell you that anything can happen.

seeing the light,heh :D just givin ya crap..

[madchild1978]

I want SJ in the first round. Their defense is not much to worry about after Hannan, and Cheechoo has been the Naslund of their team this season. They really dont scare me as much as other teams.

TJ wont like this, but I think Dallas vs Vancouver would be a hell of a series!!! They have had good games this season!

Ya. i think it would be a wierd series. Close games probably. Not being bias but I think if one team had a chance to dominate it would be Dallas. Especially getting Brenden Morrow back and Modano hitting stride and feeling healthy again. But it would be a good one. With a goalie like Luongo though, you could beat about anybody.

[TheBreeze8700]

dallas vs vancouver would be soooooo boring...2-1 games all season long, lol. I would prefer to play Calgary, it seems like we have their number. Im actually a lil scared of Minny

[tjcurrie]

Id like the ol Smythe rematch between you guys and Calgary. But that would likely mean we finish 5th. Which would give us Detroit or Nashville which, no offense, Id rather play you guys.

[JOGADOGGZ]

Not seeing the light, just being realistic...I still don't like the Mild. Can't stand Lemaire.

[vicnsand]

Nice win tonight.

[TheBreeze8700]

huge win, nice team effort. Kraciek had a deadly game, he was skating very well. Any word on Salo?

[wgsgecko]

It ended as a good solid game. I was starting to worry when I saw Smolinsk & Fitzpatrick laughing it up in the penalty box about something and Detroit got their first goal. There were some week penalties will lots of selling going on. Too bad Bert didn't play. Looks like Kesley could be back for the first round. Time to spank Edmonton.

[JOGADOGGZ]

Great 60 mins this game...Detroit was clearly not the good team tonite....I was bidding on the Naslund game used Jersey auto'd but not willing to shell out 3000.00 for it...oh well i'll just wait for a luongo one.

hey maybe edmonton will turn it around and win 10 straight. AHH oh Ok maybe next season.:p

How is the view from down there 99Gretz99? Ha-ha. Bingo Bongo another win by Luongo.

[madchild1978]

Krajicek having one half dcent game doesnt make up for his season of mistakes and mediocrity. Sorry but in the playoffs I would feel more comfortable with Rory in the 6th spot. He is stay at home and isnt as much of a liability in my opinion.

wow u must be kidding, do you watch every game like I do? Rory IS the biggest liability in our own end, he gets lost is constantly hooking/grabbing, etc. he is THE last Dman id want back there. Ya Krajicek has moments of idiocy, but hey he's super young and will learn. I still think I've noticed him MUCH LESS than Rory on the backend, and when it comes to dmen, the less you notice them=the better job they are doing. I mean are you forgetting that string of about 6 games where Rory basically costs us a goal per game minimum?

I have to agree with you Rory is such a goof back there, the biggest Liability in their own end. i hope Salo and Mitchell get healthy down the stretch and into the playoffs.

[madchild1978]

Actually Ry I do watch every game, and I am not saying Rory is the answer, but as many times as I have seen him screw up, so has Krajicek. Krajicek is equal to Rory right now, maybe a bit worse simply due to his age and non-knowledge of the game. By no means am I saying Rory is the answer, but niether is Krajicek and they are both equally bad.

[madchild1978]

and are you forgetting all the turn-overs, bad passes and all the times krajicek gets blown by when he is on the ice? I assume so ;)

[vicnsand]

Speaking of Dmen, it's good to hear that Nonis' plan is to re-sign Salo. Hopefully Salo will sign at a relatively cheap price seeing as he is injury prone.

[TheBreeze8700]

Rory is just as bad if not worse, Krajicek can at least skate and id much rather give him the experience then let Rory play. In my opinion Krajicek is 10X better than Rory. Rory cant pinch, cant clear it, cant stick with his man, cant do anything really. When it comes down to it, id honestly rather have tremblay up than him

[madchild1978]

Ry, I would rather have Tremblay or Edler playing than either of them. They both suck, I think we can agree on that! :)

[madchild1978]

http://board.spawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=379066


could use a bump or two on this thread if you wouldnt mind guys! :)

[Poeschek]

I actually think that Krajicek has played much better since he started playing with Sopel. When Rory and Krajicek were paired together, I worried every second they were on the ice. I think he and Rory are nice to have as 6th d-men because they bring different things. Rory is bigger and more physical, whereas Krajicek is a better skater and puck mover. Given the importance of skating ability, I think Krajicek gets a slight edge from me, but Rory hasn't hurt the team when he's been in recently either.

I see Edler got the call-up, looks like Salo and Mitchell are both out for a while. I'm glad that they got Sopel to fill some minutes!

[madchild1978]

I would rather have Salo and Mitchell sit now and be healthy for the playoffs. I mean I would love to win the division, but if we dont at least we made the playoffs, and will have a healthy d-core going into them!

[JOGADOGGZ]

2-1 Nucky's...Twins again eating up the Oilers so far tonite.

[madchild1978]

Sorry Ry, I have to say it....KRAJICEK WAS BRUTAL TONIGHT, and Rory was dependable, and played well.

Krajicek was standing still, staring at Torres when he scored and had a BRUTAL giveaway behind the net, and really looked bad tonight. :) :) ;)

[shandy_man]

Don't know if I'd quite say brutal (I thought Edler was brutal) but Krajicek wasn't sharp tonight, no doubt about it. Rory, well, I didn't really notice him which is a very good thing, it meant he did his job quietly.

[TheBreeze8700]

well i was at work 2nite, have to watch it 2moro. I saw a highlight with Edler falling over and Rory trying to get back on a 2 on 1....thank GOD we have luongo, seriously

[JOGADOGGZ]

Nucky's snuck that one out, its a tougher test from here on facing the Preds Wed then back to back vs the AVS....at least were 10 pts clear of the Flamers...there pulling what the Nucks did last year and tanking it at the stretch drive. I hope they miss the playoffs can't stand that team.

[madchild1978]

Rory is a plus 9 on the season and Hughson and Garret sure thought he is having a decent season, lol.

Again, not saying Krajicek wont get better, but he is too young and makes rookie mistakes that will MURDER us in the playoffs. Also Edler looked bad tonight, his worst performance with the big club this year....Tremblay should be the guy up here.

[TheBreeze8700]

maybe tremblay can have another 3-4 point night and spark our PP lol

[madchild1978]

one could only hope lol. I think tomorrows game vs Nashville will be a big testfor some players, and the team in general.

[wgsgecko]

Well looks like it is going to a mad dash for the Retro Naslunds. I think there will be lots since they have down sized for 6 to 4 players.

[99gretz99]

Yeah I dont think Naz retro will be as rare and hard to find as Linden was.

[JOGADOGGZ]

Game Day bump! the Predators are up tonite.....lets hope for another W from the boys and keep motoring along.

[madchild1978]

Never know though....I can see the cases still being one chase per, and getting a ton of regs in there.

[Poeschek]

I'm trying to decide, I think I might just hit Ebay and order one rather than drive all over town trying to find one.

As for tonight, should be a good game against the best in the West. Here's hoping that they are over their flu bug, the rumors were that a lot of the team was hit pretty hard with the flu. Luckily, Luongo didn't seem to be one of them!

[madchild1978]

yup, i am just hitting eBay for one

[madchild1978]

Just won a retro Naslund on eBay. Paid $33 for it, which is probably a little much, but there is no way I would find one at retail anywhere here around Vancouver, so its kind of a convenience fee, lol.

Nah, that's not that bad of a price, it's so much nicer to pay someone else the finders fee and kick back and wait for the mailman to show up with the figure. The perks of having a real job, I get to pay a dirty scalper to find me chase figures. :D

[JOGADOGGZ]

Canucks totally Shut down the Preds tonite...great win...Luongo now leads the league in victories.

[Poeschek]

That was a strange game, the officiating was bizarre and it seemed like there were people diving all over the place on both sides. It was a great defensive effort though, they shut down the best team in the Western Conference and they did it without Mitchell and Salo in the lineup. All of the depth guys like Rory, Krajicek and even Edler stepped up their play, which is great to see. If there's an injury in the playoffs, it's nice to have depth.

[madchild1978]

Wow, I cant believe we are beating these teams with a depleated defense. I was excited before, but now I am really starting to think the Nucks could make some noise in the playoffs!

i arrived at 1045 and sat in the nosebleeders. Heard there was a big lineup at 930. They announce a sellout of 18000 but seemed more like 8000. Still lotz for a 1.5 hour practice. I enjoyed the shootout the most.

[starscream's ghost]

even though the avs totally just stole that win, i wanted to tip my hat to henrik sedin. 63 assists in a season is amazing

[99gretz99]

one point is better than zip

[Poeschek]

Barf, one of the worst defensive displays of the season. Part of that has to be due to missing Ohlund and Salo, but I haven't seen them run around like that in their own zone for some time. They looked very disorganized and sloppy which is unusual since Christmas. Credit to Sakic, he's one hell of a player though. Every time he was on the ice, he was dangerous. If only our #19 could say the same.

[madchild1978]

Even Luongo looked un-interested last night. Well, 1 point is better than none I guess.

[gaborikroenickguy]

:D tied up boys good luck!

[JOGADOGGZ]

I think the Layoff hurt them. they didn't look as sharp and plus missing Ohlund and Salo and playing Kraijcek hurt them...Kraijcek was on the ice for most of the goals they scored. I hope they rebound in Denver.

[Poeschek]

Even Luongo looked un-interested last night. Well, 1 point is better than none I guess.

Yeah, very true. He wasn't as sharp as usual and in his post game interview, he seemed pretty cranky. Ah well, can't win 'em all.

I can't wait for towel power though, or the playoffs in general, it's been too long since the Canucks have played post-season hockey.

Krajicek's flaw is that he isn't consistent. He'll have a great game one night only to play poor the next. He's got a great stick and can make a good first pass but doesn't play physical and is sometimes too soft when leaving our zone. Plus his coverage is hit-and-miss. I don't think that Vigneault will give him enough ice-time to hurt us in the playoffs.

By the way, you confuse me. You're from Vancouver, you say "we" when you talk about the Canucks, yet you have a Wild avatar. I...cannot...compute.
