How about them Canucks!
- Thread starter #juan
- Start date
You are probably right, but no one knows at this point if
he will or will not be signed, or if he can 'even' play again, he was a very valuable defenseman for the canucks,
but the length of time with this concussion is worrisome.
His contract is up on July 1, he will be an unrestricted
free agent, and nothing was ever discussed between he and
the team about a new contract, the injury cancelled that
possibility.

I'm sure luongo has a no trade contract, and his contract
is new and very long and no team in their right mind is
interested in taking on that money when luongo hasn't
played up to his potential all year. Gillis will not trade
him, but luongo will be challenged by cory schneider next
season, so that is the only way gillis/vineault have any
power, and that is to play him or not, so it will depend
on how well schneider plays, and of course how well luongo plays.
Their hands are tied with that contract, whomever takes
him in a trade takes that contract along with him, won't
happen.

If your only guage for success of a team is 'winning' the
cup or not, fine, but canucks have had a very successful
40 years, up and down like majority of teams, a couple of
trips to finals, and a good organization, with good people
at the helm.
I enjoyed the canucks this season, they played a very exciting brand of hockey, and had good success.
Only one team out of 32 can win the cup each year, it isn't
what keeps people in the seats, it is only the prize at
the end, for whomever happens to get there. 1 out of 32.
I do not think of a team as a failure because they didn't
win the cup. Detroit got knocked out tonight by san jose,
but detroit continues to be a good team, and will be back
next year to battle again, they are not failures, just
didn't make it to the finals, big deal.
My sentiments exactly. Let's just keep our fingers crossed and see what happens tonight. Oh yeah, only 30 teams so far...............:smile:
It's interesting listening to some of the players now, when
they are interviewed, as they still have hopes of pulling
this off, and never give up, but I have lost some enthusiasm
for them as they lost the last two games by their own stupidity and bad behavior, and now they are where they have
put themselves, behind the 8 ball, it would be nice if they
do win this game today and come back to GM place, as maybe
they would give the fans something to be proud of before
they get out their golf clubs, instead of those two poor
games they just played.
Losing is one thing, but acting like a bunch of spoiled brats is another, I can take one but not the other.

Friends?
It's a forum....on the internet.
If this is where you need to make friends I pitty you.
Btw, why does pointing out truths upset you?
43 years....0 cups.
You sound like every Leaf fan I know.....that's not a compliment.
Detroit has won 3 cups in the last thirteen years....not a good example.
Try again.:lol:
I knew he was out because of a concussion but I wasn't aware he had had more than one and that it was a chronic condition. He was a good defensman.
A person with half a gram of common sense will pay close attention to Talloola when she talks about N.H.L. hockey, she knows where of she speaks - probably better than Don Cherry. :lol::lol::lol::lol:
I guess if "failure" is filling every seat at G.M. place for several hundred consecutive games, then I hope they keep on "failing". What is at the end of the road is often not as important as what you see along the way.. :smile:
I'd venture to say over the past 10 years their "losing" percentage is less than .500. Yoo hoo Talloola get over here, I need some stats..........................:lol::lol::lol::lol:
I succeeded in my original thought, made my point, if you
don't catch on that's your problem.
stats for the canucks this year were very good, check them
out. I am satisfied that they had a very successful season,
and the fact that they will not win the cup doesn't come
into it for me, so that depends what you put your importance
on, as I explained before, only 1 out of 32 can win the cup
each year, yet people flock to see most of the teams every
year, so they are not 'all' just going to see their team
win the cup, they love hockey and enjoy watching good
hockey games, it's all about the love of the 'game', not
the love of the cup.
your whole thought process is placed on losing, are you a
loser?, is the the cup always half empty for you, do you love
to see losing and ignore the winning and the
enjoyment of the game and the team?
do you think all teams who don't win the cup each year,
are losers?
The leafs fans come out in droves to watch a team who has
not played well in many years, but they love hockey, and
will keep coming, and their team will get better over the
next few years, and most teams who hit bottom, get lots
of good draft picks, (if they haven't traded all of them
away), then they use those good players to build another
good team.
I don't live my life as a loser, and I don't look at my
hockey team as losers, maybe in your eyes they are, but
what you think means nothing to me.
