Canucks Thread - We Still Believe Topic

Indeed, not a bad assessment, but let's be honest here...the Canucks aren't really missing any pieces. If Dan Hamhuis, Mikael Samuelsson and Ryan Kesler are healthy I bet it's a different series. That said, if I were a Canucks fan it would worry me that Ryan Kesler has been injured in each of the past 3 playoff seasons and has zero effectiveness when he's played hurt. I love the guy as a player and I think he has more heart than the rest of the team put together, but at some point you have to wonder if maybe he just can't play full-octane physical hockey anymore without getting hurt.

 Juskay, being a Canuck fan doesnt mean i have to blindly root for a player i see as a liability.. Luongo won 3 games but lost 4 in the finals with a horrendous save % on the road..we will agree to disagree..till Luu is gone and spendijng his money i will never consider the Canucks goaltending as a strong point but a giant liability

rest of the league,commentators,other teams fans everyone across the country is catching on now about how overated Luu is ....except of course Canuck nation

What's this over-love for Samuelsson I'm always hearing?  The guy is a journeyman and an average player at best.

Just like the B.C. Lions ..Printers was a liabilty ,i hated him ,but i was a Lions fan,does not mean i have to like the QB just because im a fan of the team..they are much better with Lulay as the Canucks would be with Schneider

Randle........I am saying we are STUCK with Lu, so get used to it?  That does not mean I like it?  We could add a top six forward and a blue chip D-man with Lu's salary, play Schneider and win 3 cup's in a row.

But unfortunately Lu's deal is done and we are stuck with this guy.  I don't blame the cup loss on Lu alone, the sisters had more to do with the Canuck's losing than Lu did.  Not to mention that WE GOT BEAT by a team that wanted it more than our guy's did.  The sky is not falling, we have a pretty good hockey team.  We will be in the hunt again next season...............But I FEAR Cory will be moved and then we are REALLY STUCK with Lu.

Randle......We have a By-law in my town?

YOU Pick-up after your pets.....Or you are fined?
YOU Pick-up after yourself.......Or you get "TWICE" the fine?  Reason for twice the fine?  You can pick-up FOR your PET!!  But your PET can not pick-up FOR YOU!!!!

YOUR NEIGHBOR should be SHAMED!!!!  And fined!!!

PIG....would be a good adjective??!

Higgins (3.8 mill/2 years)and Salo (2 mill/1year) are back.
7/1/2011 12:16 PM
Canuck fans.........We have 7.3 mil left in cap space now that Higgins and Salo have re-signed.

Reserve aprox. 2.6 mil to re-sign RFA's Hansen (1.6), Oreskovich (.9) SHIROKOV to KHL....

That leaves us 4.7 mil to add ????.

As much as I would love to add a second line winger, (see Rodin) I think our most pressing need is a blue chip stay at home D-man.
Remember this team was NUMBER ONE in NHL scoring last season.  I am looking for Swede Rodin to make this team and the kid is a BEAST.  Has potential to be on the SEDIN LINE and I am not joking.

PS....Torres to Coyotes.
