| Mike User Info... | So the changing of the guard has begun.. Naslund and Morrison are gone. Demitra, Bernier, Hordichuk, Ryan Johnson, Wellwood, (Baumgartner..?) come on board and gobble up $10 million of the $20 mill in the bank. $10 million left under the cap.. not enough for Sundin, unless they give him a signing bonus and pay out the rest (ie: 5mill + 5mill) or move some pylons for future picks (Pyatt, Cowan, Pettinger etc) The line possibilites are many.. no shortage of centermen this year. one line is for certain. Sedin Sedin Bernier - Thu, 10 Jul 2008 12:11pm Edited: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 1:16pm | ||
| bbjones User Info... | It's about time. Now hopefully the coach can get his act together and make the Canucks worth watching this year. They have been putting on some of the most boring hockey since the New Jersey days pre-strike. I sincerely hope that changes (moreso than seeing more W's even). Thank god NFL starts soon... - Thu, 10 Jul 2008 12:18pm | ||

| snuh User Info... | I always hated Demitra, he seemed to continuously kill the Canucks with a late or ot winning goal. Glad he's here. - Thu, 10 Jul 2008 1:37pm Edited: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 1:38pm | ||
| Mike User Info... | 'rumor' has it Gaborik has expressed his displeasure with the Wild in an interview taken place in his home country.. Could we see him re-joining his best friend in Vancouver next year? or maybe a swap, Sedins for Gaborik? Mitchell, Demitra, Gaborik, thanks Minny! LOL - Thu, 10 Jul 2008 1:41pm | ||

| trevor corey User Info... |  With our defense, the twins, Bernier, Demitra, Sundin(?), Raymond, the shutdown and scoring power of Kesler/Burrows/Pettinger, the shutdown/knuckles of Hordichuk/Johnson/Davison, and of course a happy Luongo, the Canucks are gonna be an ELITE team 08/09.

| Mr. Hell User Info... | I will get excited when I see some proof of improvement. This all sounds really nice, but they could step onto the ice and turn to dust and blow away. Plus it seems like a lot of other teams are really stacked with proven talent. It will be an uphill battle all the way to the golf tee. - Sat, 12 Jul 2008 2:58pm Edited: Sat, 12 Jul 2008 2:58pm | ||

| trevor corey User Info... |  Canucks are FINALLY going to be grittier, tougher, meaner, and more Canadian than in a looooooong time. ......but yeah, Bertuzzi, lol. - Wed, 16 Jul 2008 3:37pm | ||
| Jl User Info... | its so funny, i hear so many people lamenting all the change for the 'nucks... but Im actually keen on seeing the changes and if they work; great... if not, well that what rebuilding is all about! on another note; I'm quite a fan of a program called "footbal factories"... highlighting all the hooligan firms around the world for soccer clubs. There was one imperticular from scotland. They call themselves "the casuals", by which they wear no identifying clothing to the team they support... but once in the stadium; you know who they're supporting. My suggestion is a hooligan firm called "the canuck casuals"... how bout it? lol... of course im joking as i type this, but i couldn't resist after watching that episode. - Wed, 16 Jul 2008 5:22pm | ||
| Devin User Info... | “If I can’t punch beat them up on the ice, I’ll choke a hold on the ice,” joked Hordichuk about his new skills. This man is not a hockey player, and I'd be just as disgusted if he was "playing" for Senators or the Flames. It's piss poor sportsmanship on the part of the team to let him run his mouth like that. - Wed, 16 Jul 2008 9:00pm Edited: Wed, 16 Jul 2008 9:03pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | He is there to protect, not instigate. Other teams will not get away with taking liberties on Luongo and the twins now, allowing them to play up to their full potential without being worn out by the end of the season. Darcy Hordichuk was just the missing piece every NHL team needs to allow their stars to shine. He made a joke. He won't be "choking" anybody. I would tell you to lighten up, but I really enjoy your fear. - Wed, 16 Jul 2008 10:59pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | The Canucks first home game is against Bertuzzi and Cowgirly. I think we should all pile in Mike's van and header on over. - Wed, 16 Jul 2008 11:04pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... |  | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Nice to see the Canucks B team beat the Oilers A team. Schneider, Krog, Raymond, Wellwood, and Kesler looked hot hot hot. Davison is going to be a fan favorite for sure. Can't wait to see Hordichuknorris, Demitra, Bernier, and Hodgson tomorrow. I can't wait to start saying , I TOLD YOU SO. Stanley Cup, FTW! - Mon, 22 Sep 2008 9:53pm | ||

| trevor corey User Info... | Jannik Hansen FTW! Undefeated, has a nice ring to it. .......so I'm thinking, down Robson, take a left on Granville, then a right on Cambie. It's cool to be the underdog when you know everyone is wrong. - Sun, 28 Sep 2008 12:26am | ||
| Dr.Skin User Info... | I told you so! BLAH, BLAh, Blah.... - Sun, 28 Sep 2008 3:51am | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Canucks win another. First time for Bernier with the twins= six points between them. Kyle Wellwood with the game winning shoot-out goal. I do believe that the Canucks are now the only undefeated team in the pre-season. - Sun, 28 Sep 2008 8:04pm | ||

| Jl User Info... | I was kind of miffed that they named bobby lou' as captain; but wont rep the captaincy on ice. But seeing them play as a unit is much better than having some idiot running around with a "C" that doesn't care(cough NASLUND cough). If I were to pick someone else from Luongo Id side with the longest running member of the current roster(even if he cant speak english well)... Matias Ohlund. He's stuck around year after year for the past, almost 10 plus years. He knows, much like Linden, what its like to go through tough times with a team and to feel what its like on a winning team(despite playoff results). - Thu, 2 Oct 2008 5:17pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | I think Ohlund's Engrish is fine. Demitra is a looking to be a good leader. This team is full of potential Captains. I think that will prove more important than having one overpaid superstar. This years Canucks remind alot of the Oilers team that went to the finals two years ago. Except with better goalie. They had at least five Captains with Roloson, Peca, Pronger, Smith, and Smyth. We have Luongo, Demitra, Mitchel, Ohlund(who is actually worth 5.5-6.5million), Kesler, even Bieksa, Daniel, and Johnson are potential Captains. It all bodes well for a mature, skilled well lead team. 6-0. Still undefeated! - Fri, 3 Oct 2008 10:49pm | ||
| Jl User Info... | I still think Ohlund would be a great captain. Demitra would be fine too; but he's too new to the team in my opinion. Ohlund shows grit and determination in sticking it out with a team that's been on a rollercoaster for the past decade. But this season hopfully will be more ups than downs; time will tell, and I will be watching! - Sat, 4 Oct 2008 12:38pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Cowan gots waivered. Who didn't see that coming McIver too, Burke grabbed him off the wires . My guess is Pettinger next to be set free. Then rotate Rypien, and Krog, and Brown to the Moose. - Sat, 4 Oct 2008 3:32pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Finally, Cowan is gone. Now all we need is Pyatt to start playing like the giant he is or be traded for someone who will play that way. And, of course, these guys need to keep the intensity up. If they do that, it could be an exciting year of hockey. - Sun, 5 Oct 2008 12:59pm | ||
| Mike User Info... | Mayson Raymond \||/ that goal he scored against Anaheim.. spectacular! - Mon, 6 Oct 2008 11:24am | ||

| JDL User Info... | just curious if anyone here uses pickuphockey.com for their pools? and if so, have you had an update in the past few days which included the pts from sun-tues? i know its a 'nucks thread(and I have 3 nucks in my pool! demitra, salo, mitchell!!!) - Wed, 8 Oct 2008 2:41pm | ||
| Doc User Info... | I'm totally stoked on this years team. I think that big things can be expected of the Canuckle heads this year. I am not so stoked on the first month of the schedule though. Open at home and then six on the road?!?!? Yikes! Here's hoping that they turn out to be a good road team this year. ~ Keeping the world safe from democracy Doc - Thu, 9 Oct 2008 12:09am | ||

| trevor corey User Info... | For Luc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HGD12AqYjk I had a lump in my throat at the beginning, and then Tom Cochran came out and played Big League........whoah...... I'm glad I watched at home tonight. Couldn't have gone any better. The crowd chanting Luuuuuuuuc, while Tom Cochran played acoustic for him. The crowd singing the anthem. The team sticking up for each other. Scoring six goals. Luongo with the shut-out. Beautiful. Look out Detroit. This team, with Captain Luongo in net, has the best chance any Canuck team has ever had. Thank God for Gillis. - Fri, 10 Oct 2008 12:40am | ||
| snuh User Info... | I like the way gloves are dropped when Luongo is taken advantage of. Big difference already over last year, and we're just one game in. Nice to not see Naslund sulking all over the ice...... - Fri, 10 Oct 2008 6:58am Edited: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 6:58am | ||

| Mr. Hell User Info... | Depressing team. Need a new coach. Need a new trainer. Need Pyatt to get lost. Need to trade the Sedins for actual consistent talent. A lot of needs. Hope Gillis brings the hammer down hard. - Sun, 19 Oct 2008 6:17pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Take it easy on them big dude. Tonight they ended up playing a shortened bench with injuries to Salo, Hordichucknorris, and Demitra. This road trip all over four time zones, back to back games is a very tough way to start a season. They will be fine. It would be nice to spend that ten million though. edit- the Canucks are currently tied for sixth place in the west, and only two points shy of first in the northwest. Not bad really. - Sun, 19 Oct 2008 11:15pm Edited: Sun, 19 Oct 2008 11:54pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | I am just reiterating what I believed last season. With these changes, they could have a shot. Hope the injuries make everyone step it up that much more. Anyone know how long those three are out for? - Mon, 20 Oct 2008 5:22pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Demitra has rib cartilage problems, Rypien has a viral issue, Salo groin, Hordichucknorris got a lower body injury in a collision with a teamate. All I know is that Wellwood and Pettinger are on their way up if they clear waivers. My prediction of a Stanley Cup run is based on having the best goalie in the world. Luongo's stats are currently among the worst in the NHL. That should get better as the season progresses. Ten million$ in cap space! - Mon, 20 Oct 2008 6:55pm | ||

| Mr. Hell User Info... | Our team needs a kick in the ass like this, especially ok when they are playing quite well. Now we get to see how much character and defensive responsibility these guys possess. If they keep on winning with Sanford as Number 1 goalie, then the Canucks will be fairly menacing when Luongo does get back. Anyone know when that will be, by the way? - Sun, 23 Nov 2008 12:01pm | ||
| Mike User Info... | they wont say until after Mondays morning skate. Thing is the roster is full, so to bring up Schneider, they have to either send a player to the farm or put Luongo on the Injured Reserve. - Sun, 23 Nov 2008 1:07pm | ||

| Jl User Info... | "People forget he had a 94 point season not all that long ago" i never forgot; that's why i picked him in my pool for '09. along with mitchell and salo! so I was thinking out on a limb(please take note of the latter "limb" part); what would happen if Luongo still injured but not on IR and Sanford got injured in a game... but bobby lou wasn't able to play. Who would take the net then? And has this scenario ever been played out? where the team, IN GAME, has exhausted their goalie reserves and had to put a defenceman or forward 'in' to fill the hole; so to speak. I was discussing it with a buddy of mine and came to the conclusion that it(the scenario) hasn't happend in NHL history(even before the league amalgamations to increase the NHL size.... so pre 80's as well; though im thinking of the OLD days of hockey too, a la' gordie howe, dryden, etc... era). - Thu, 27 Nov 2008 4:44pm | ||

| Mike User Info... | JL-- It happened a few years ago, sort of, in Vancouver where a UBC goalie had to sit on the bench.. he never got any game time. John Garret talked about it a few days ago too.. he was once asked at a game to sign a short term ( 1 day ) contract but as he was on his way from the commentator booth to the dressing room, and alternative option came up. Garret being a retired NHL goalie and now colour commentator for sportsnet. In a pinch the team has to either dress a defenceman as a goalie or pick someone out of the crowd and sign them short term. - Sun, 30 Nov 2008 12:09pm Edited: Sun, 30 Nov 2008 12:12pm | ||

| Jigsaw User Info... |  | ||
| grimlord User Info... | So what do you think Kesler lose his "A" or luongo lose his "C"? - Thu, 18 Dec 2008 3:49pm Edited: Thu, 18 Dec 2008 3:49pm | ||
| Jl User Info... | nobody should lose anything... Sundin(albeit will be a plague for this team) hasn't proven anything as a leader(missing half the chances at being IN the playoffs thru his career); he has no credit to team ability, aside from his OWN scoring ability(but we all know that one man doesn't make a team). He's the new guy on the block... He starts out like everyone else. IMO. - Thu, 18 Dec 2008 4:06pm | ||
| Jigsaw User Info... | What Mats Sundin brings to the table! 1. 8 Time All Star 2. 1305 games played = 1321 pts 3. +/-78 4. 555 goals and 766 assists On that note he has never won the big show. I am a huge leafs fan (prob gonna hear a lot of flack for that) and have watched him play a ton of games. He is a treat to have on any NHL roster and is supposed to be in great shape. Enjoy KnuckleHeads. GO LEAFS GO! Oh yeah if the canucks are gonna pay him all that money i would think he would wear the "C". - Thu, 18 Dec 2008 4:55pm Edited: Thu, 18 Dec 2008 4:57pm | ||
| Jl User Info... | I never said he was a bad player... I said he was a bad leader He might have all the personal stats he likes. But when it gets down to the shit, Toronto was better off without him(and is). Look at the playoffs in '02(i think if im correct) when Sundin was basically out the whole run... Roberts, McCabe(as much as I hate to like him), Corson, Tucker; they led the team to 3rd round(again i believe; off the top of my head) and when Sundin made his "miraculous" comeback, the team shit the bed. Again, I dont deny him to be a great goal scorer; but like Kovalchuck, one player does not make a team... and especially if that player cant lead a team. - Thu, 18 Dec 2008 7:30pm | ||
| Mike S. User Info... | HIGHLY doubt they will strip Luongo of the C. If anything, Luongo will hand it over on his own, but I wouldnt bet on it. Luongo has done a stellar job, which is evident as the team continues to win without him in net. Sundin also made it clear that one of his main reasons for choosing Vancouver over NYC is because it was a seemless entry that required no player movement or trades. Marching in and taking the C is NOT seemless no matter how much the players agree or disagree with it, the media will blow it so far out of proportion as they always do, and it will be controversy. Now, I wonder if all the speech impediment Dick and Jane graduates will finally get the names of the 'Sedins' right now that its going to be spelled out for them every game. (referring to all the people that call the 'Sedins' the 'Sundins' no matter how many times they are corrected.. ) - Fri, 19 Dec 2008 10:20am | ||

| trevor corey User Info... | Cody Hodgson has another solid night as Canada beats the Finns 7-3 Sunday, 12.21.2008 / 10:33 PM / News Canadian Press MISSISSAUGA, Ont. - John Tavares isn't the only offensive threat Canada will have at the world junior championship. Cody Hodgson had a goal and two assists for the second straight game Sunday as Canada beat Finland 7-3 in an exhibition tuneup for the tournament. The 18-year-old forward was one of the last players cut by the Vancouver Canucks earlier this year and has been a standout for Brampton in the Ontario Hockey League. Coach Pat Quinn has had Hodgson playing on a different line than Tavares at even strength, which should help balance the team's offensive attack. - Mon, 22 Dec 2008 12:08am | ||

| Mr. Hell User Info... | After it's all broken down, Sundin is making something like $360 a second for each second he spends on the ice. Due to this retarded reality, I am going to consider every goal scored and every goal against prevented as the work of Mats Sundin just to make it seem reasonable. Therefore...Sundin got a hat-trick last night! Money well spent! (Empty netters can remain property of the actual scorer. Any League minimum paid player should be able to net those.) - Thu, 8 Jan 2009 1:30pm | ||

Not beating the Cawks in round two is grounds for dismissal in my book. Never liked him any way. Even during the win streak, I felt he was a fraud. Third, fire the passing coach.

They played like there were at practice and were simply out-skated, out-goaled and their lame penalties were half-hearted attempts at looking tough.

Next season; they'll build on the success they had in the last half and entry into the play offs. I used to HATE toronto fans; but at least they still have PRIDE in their team.

| Doc User Info... | I hope that they jettison Sundin and his useless contract and use that money to keep the twins around. That and a consistently healthy Demimtra should put us in good standing for next year. I do think that it would be nice though to have a backup goalie that was a little more...consistent? compitent? I think Marty Gerber might be on the market this summer after Toskola's knee is repaired. ~Brinng down the Bulin wall! Doc - Thu, 14 May 2009 3:39pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Sundin is UFA, so there is no contract to jettison. I hope he comes back at a reduced rate. Demitra is going in for shoulder surgery, needs four months to recover. As far as back up goalie, I can't see why you wouldn't like what Labarbera did for us. - Thu, 14 May 2009 4:02pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Toronto fans have past glories to keep them pacified as their team sucks warty balls year after year. Us Cancks just have seasons that end with disappointment year after year (with the exception of a few years where things looked good and even came close). The frustration of watching your team do well and then draw back in the second round against a team you know they could have beat if they stuck with the original game plan makes Canck fans act out. That is what happens when fans want the best for their team, but the team doesn't seem to give a flying fuck when it counts most. Again we say...there's always next season. - Thu, 14 May 2009 4:10pm | ||
| Doc User Info... | Trev, I liked what Labarbera did for us, but I don't have confidence that he could step in long term if, God forbid, Luongo went down with a serious or even season ending injury.

| Mike S. User Info... | HODGSON! OHL player of the year.. nearly as many points as the wunderkid Tavares. Last I looked was killing Tavares in playoff points. and he is all ours. Sundin - 7 points in 6 games vs. Chicago.. didnt that lead the team? And that on an inujured knee. Why would anyone want to jettison him? He played solid, didnt take too many penalties and played fairly defensively and got the points. Fair enough they werent goals. But if we could get Sundin healthy for less than 2.5 mill Id say go for it. Luongo. Seems to crack in the playoffs. twice now. On the ropes about that one.. sign ,long term or trade befroe he is UFA? Sedins.. on the fence.. 5 mill each maybe, or does this team need new direction? Demitra.. no issues with him at all, bring him back as long as he is healthy. Ohlund.. sad to see him go but again.. perhaps the team needs some new faces. - Thu, 14 May 2009 8:35pm | ||
| trevor corey User Info... | Hodgson has joined the Moose for the third round of the AHL play-offs.. Slated for a limited role on the fourth line. I'm hoping he earns more ice time. He is better than, or at least as good as Tavares. We got real lucky. In hindsight, he was worth not getting into the play-offs last season. - Fri, 15 May 2009 1:06am | ||
| lonemonk User Info... | I'm not nearly as avid as I once was on the game. Obviously, goaltenders are key to winning and losing playoff segments or Stanley Cups; BUT No team should have to rely on their goalie as much as Vancouver frequently seems to do. (for whole seasons sometimes) Also, I finally watched a recording of most of game 7. Luongo let his temper affect himself adversely when people where crowding the net. This is an age-old tactic and chicago was way better at it than vancouver. For the most part Luongo played excellently, but the rest of the team looked weak and lame. Then when buddy got spooked, he let in more consecutive goals than he has since 1999 or some shit. Hot-head goaltenders are doomed. Like I say, I'm not very current, but this is a classic play-off failure by the team and the 'captain' at the same time. Flame away. - Fri, 15 May 2009 2:03am | ||

| Jl User Info... | "That is what happens when fans want the best for their team, but the team doesn't seem to give a flying fuck when it counts most." "And for the most part I think they just gave up" These are 2 comments that have NO bearing whatsoever. Who are we to say they didn't care? How do you know the pressure these atheletes have to deal with day in day out. Sure its their profession; but we ALL have shitty days. Chicago is a good team; young, fast, but inexperienced. They took it to us like the hounds were just released. I think with more conditioning and fitness; the nuck's could've stood their ground more. It was always late in the game that shit went wrong(barring game 6); due to a)lack of conditioning and stamina b)fitness. Its simple for anyone who's played at ANY remote high level sports that it comes down to the basics. But for us, as fans, to say that they "looked" like they didn't care... is a little much, when YOU are the one watching from the sidelines. But I guess everyone considers themselves a better GM or Coach than the other. I for one, am dissappointed, but improvements were made; and that keeps me happy. They showed emmense emotion after the loss; which showed THEY DID CARE. Im sure you also think they're babies for showing the emotions; but again, try competing at that level under that pressure DAY IN DAY OUT for the rest of your lives. - Sat, 16 May 2009 2:59pm | ||
| Doc User Info... | I think that the Canucks would have been better served by their first round series with St. Louis going 6 or 7 games. I get the impression that the guys were just expecting to win the Chicago series because they dumped all over another young, hungry but inexperienced team. Jl, I have competed in sports at a high level, not hockey though, and you know what, there are days/games, though rarely series, where your heart isn't in it and you just don't care. ~Peace through superior firepower. Doc - Sat, 16 May 2009 11:21pm | ||
| Mr. Hell User Info... | Poppycock. You could see in their faces and the way they were playing that they felt beat and didn't seem to have any hope of taking the series. The mental barrier set by the Game 4 bedshitting did them in. As for them not caring...well, to use your example, they weren't well conditioned enough to keep up with the Cawks. For guys getting paid millions to play a sport, they better damn well be in top physical condition if they care enough to do the very best they can. Anything less is not giving a shit. Had they given it their all, no one would be anywhere near as pissed and disappointed as they are. However, it was obvious they didn't give it their best shot, so they will be pissed upon as they so deserve. Even the biggest homers I know that give them free passes for terrible play and lack of full effort feel this way. Yes, they cried and looked sad when they were ousted. I would be too if I just realized I pissed away the best chance my team has had since '94 to do some damage in the playoffs. - Mon, 18 May 2009 5:13pm | ||

| trevor corey User Info... | Actually Mr Hell, you don't have to pull out the pancakes quite yet. Corey Schneider, Micheal Grabner, and Cody Hodgson have gone deep into the Calder play-offs.

| trevor corey User Info... | Here's a comparison of the top six defensemen from Vancouver and Calgary. Why the comparison? Because if Sutter is stacking his defense, and we agree that our offense and goaltending are better, then we should have the Division in the bag. Actual totals: Vancouver Salo..............60 GP 25 P +5 TOI 22:19 Edler.............80 GP 37 P +11 TOI 21:04 Bieksa...........72 GP 43 P -4 TOI 21:09 Mitchell..........82 GP 23 P +29 TOI 20:42 Ehrhoff..........77 GP 42 P -12 TOI 23:26 Schneider......67 GP 32 P -12 TOI 19:03 Lukowich Calgary Phaneuf.........80 GP 47 P -11 TOI 25:48 Bouwmeester 82 GP 42 P -2 TOI 27:54 Sarich...........76 GP 20 P +12 TOI 23:17 Regehr..........75 GP 8 P +10 TOI 18:53 Pardy............60 GP 10 P +3 TOI 17:37 Giordano.......58 GP 19 P +2 TOI 15:39 Stralman - Sat, 29 Aug 2009 4:28am | ||
