Woot

Hahaha

 

Meanwhile, Luongo’s agent told a Toronto radio station that his client would likely still be a Canuck had he started the Heritage Classic, an odd and needless snub by coach John Tortorella that ramped up the temperature inside this organization. That sentiment was added to when Luongo opened his first press conference in Florida with these words: “First and foremost, it feels great to be wanted by an organization.”

Fuck you Gillis

 

LAWLS WAH

 

For an organization that says they don't want controversy , they sure create a lot of it

 

The fact Gillis could have had Bozak ( has 37 points in 40 games this season and plays PP, PK, faceoff king) and possibly Kadri would easily be their best young player for Luongo and STILL kept Schneider is a joke. He should be fired and theres no excuse. Totally 100% dropped the ball. Now doesnt get Kesler traded after he asks, and add that to the whole Hodgson disaster, he might be as bad as Garth Snow when all the dust settles

 

Just for fun

Canucks sitting with the 9th overall pick right now. Might as well suck shit the rest of the year and get a good player. Just like Canes with Skinner that year and TB with Drouin last year

 

Wanted or not - I like seeing him play, and glad he feels like its already a good fit!

Also it let us get Tim Thomas!! Maybe that will help to give Kari a break every now and then!! Happy Happy Happy .... as long as he stays!

 

Tortorella is an idiot. He makes a great management team with Gillis.

 

go ducks..... woot woot

 

aaand the Post Lou era isn't starting out so awesome

 

Im liking the Benn Sagan Peverley line!!!! Go Stars

 

Hard to argue

"Vancouver Canucks: And now, the fireworks.

This story truly starts last summer with the trade of Cory Schneider. Maybe Bo Horvat, who has 70 points in 50 games with the London Knights, will become a superstar, and that deal will make Mike Gillis look brilliant for trading arguably the game’s No. 1 netminder for just him.

Maybe swapping Alain Vigneault for John Tortorella will prove smart. Perhaps Gillis realized his club was a little too old, a little too brittle, a little too slow and realized now — despite Vancouver sitting just two points out of a playoff spot — is the time to blow it all sky high.

The problem with that logic is the way it’s been executed. When you root for a team, or own a team, you trust the people in charge will have a plan of action. With every move, there’s a counter move. When you sign Roberto Luongo to a 12-year, $64 million contract, he’s your starting goalie. When Schneider passes as Vancouver’s No. 1 — in year two of that deal — you’re supposed to alleviate the problem by dealing one. When you fail to trade Luongo last trade deadline, then deal Schneider on draft day, you’re putting your faith in Luongo — whether that’s right or wrong.

When you deal both goalies in a nine-month span, you look ridiculous.

They didn’t placate Ryan Kesler with a trade, and now word is ownership wants the playoff revenue officially damaged the Kesler-to-Pittsburgh deal that would’ve propagated a true rebuild. Maybe they should’ve told Gills that on Wednesday before he dealt Luongo to Florida for a backup goalie, a third-line winger and zero draft picks, while taking on 15 per cent of his salary and the majority of his potential cap-recapture penalty if he retires before the contract expires in 2022.

All in all, it feels like a hedge, and the fans need to take notice how they’re being treated in this situation.

Grade ~ F"

Is that Carl Sagan? Or are you referring to Tyler Seguin?

The one with Seguin is awesome

It is truly sad what has transpired. The Canucks need to be sold to better owners. They are letting that franchise down.

 

the canucks are 3-11-1 since the line brawl with the Flames
