Think they need to send the Twins and Luongo packing. I think last year was their peak, and they'll never perform any better with this organization.
The twins have been the best players on the team from game one, they are accumulating their points as
usual.
It hurts the team when they are killing penalties, as the twins don't get their usual shifts.
I'd send Luongo packing at any cost. If it meant a lump payout I'd raise capital in the equity markets just to get him off the team. He's the worst goalie in the league. I can't stand watching the Canucks play any more with him in net.
I agree with you about the level of his play, and I think if we are just a bit more patient he will make
his way out, i'm hoping at this point that he doesn't play good at all, because then they will figure he
is getting his form back.
It is nerve racking to watch the play in our end, I'm on pins and needles every time the puck is shot
his way, so if we feel that way, the coaching/mgr staff must feel it too.
He's like a deer in the headlights.
But I have to say that the defense on 'both' teams last night was horrendous, game was very sloppy on both
sides much of the night.
Too many penalties, BUT I was very irritated with the first two calls, as I did not see any infraction by
a canuck in either one of them, but in the last period philly was called for lots of penalties too, a couple
which I didn't see any infraction either, so I guess it evened out, BUT those two penalties right at the
beginning of the game throw a team out of sinc, the rythym goes, the twins don't get ice time, and on top
of it, two goals were scored, which puts them behind right at the offset.
canuck @ detroit today
Rather disappointed in the outcome of last night's game. Thought Roberto could have been somewhat stronger in the net but then he didn't get much help at times as the guys were all over the ice instead of in front of the net. Glad to see that the Flyers made up for all those penalties the Canucks took early in the game with a few dumb ones of their own.
Did enjoy the one goal that the Sedins set up and took - shades of last years stellar play for the two of them. Will be really glad when Ryan finally makes it back- am hoping that his contributions can be a impetus for the rest of the team.
Hope Corey is back in goal for the next game.
Kesler has been practicing with the team for about a week now, they sure need him on that second line, cody
hodgson is playing great, with no help, but I like the switching around vineault did with that line last
night, hope it continues.
I hope Schneider plays tonight too, he supplied that 'help' I was talking about
last time he played and gave his team a chance, and they took it, and won.
The team might be a bit fatigued on the back end of a back to back, on the road, hope they can hold their own against
this good detroit team.
Canucks are a good team too, still feeling their way along at beginning of the season, but a little help
from their (suppose to be #1) goalie could have made a difference.
