Ovechkin doesn't get a free pass just for being Ovechkin. You'll see guys take runs at Crosby because there aren't any players on Pittsburgh who can stand up and protect their stars.

If somebody takes a run at Ovechkin, you can bet your money Brashear will get him. Who are big, tough guys on Pittsburgh? Godard? Matt Cooke? Brashear will tear them apart.

Whats this supposed to mean? You realize the west is a dominant +40 wins over the east this year right? IMO if Burrows was playing in the east (ie. the NO DEFENSE CONFERENCE) he would be putting up BETTER numbers than he does here.

The east is weak as hell outside of Boston, Jersey, and maybe Washington...

I don't know how everyone else feels but I love that the Leafs are not in the playoffs AND not in the bottom 5 teams for the Tavares sweepstakes.

turb0triX 03-02-2009 06:39 PM

Worst position to be in.

If you're not going to make the playoffs you might as well tank so you can get a good pick out of a shitty season.

Noir 03-02-2009 06:47 PM

Apparently Canucks roster are catching wind that Burrows may be on the way out. Trade rumours in the air apparently among the club.

I met Kristen Reid during the Canucks Ice & Dice and she's beautiful in person.

rsx 03-02-2009 07:04 PM

Fucking Cherry, what a douche. His celebrations are so infectious, it's almost like team building. I would rather have a player that celebrates like OV than Nazzy.

Soundy 03-02-2009 07:17 PM

Wow, more talk about Grapes than the Canucks in the last two pages... guess what, that's exactly what Grapes does with his shtick, gets people talking. You fell for it, he wins. Don Cherry 1, VOT 0.

I vote to move the subject of conversation to Kristen Reid.

kind of a misleading statement there....from what I saw on that video it was more the chick asking them "what do you think about this rumor", not like they were all talking about it beforehand. It sounds like the "source" of these rumors was pierre lebrun speculating that the nucks might not keep him because he'll want a raise...but even if they WEREN'T going to re-sign him (which they obviously will if he's only wanting 2mil) theres no way in hell they'd trade him away right before trying to make a playoff run, especially with the run the team is on right now.

this "rumor" makes no sense at all

edit: to be honest, I think 2, maybe 2.5 is about what he's worth. He's having a great year, but its not like professional athletes are strangers to having slightly anomalously good seasons in contract years. I wouldn't be surprised to see a slight decline next year if he's signed to a deal.

Is Kristen Reid Brandon Reid's wife?

Aquilini found Nonis to be "the most disloyal guy you'll ever meet in your life"

clowe 03-02-2009 10:05 PM

I can't imagine where we'd be had it not been for Nonis. Traded Bertuzzi for Luongo, got 2 second round picks for DAN CLOUTIER. Signed Mitchell.

If Nonis was fighting for his survival, he would've cleared out the prospects pool at the deadline for short term band-aids.

How ironic that the statement is coming from Aquilini.

Thanks for the clarification.

Though the rumour's originated from Pierre LeBrun's speculation, I thought the rumour had more merit than just a mere speculation as this piece was covered by a Canucks journalist and posted on the Canucks Official Website.

Hondaracer 03-02-2009 10:37 PM

sure you can say Nonis did great by making those deals

but imo there's absolutely no way in hell we'd be in the position we are now with Nonis, the guy had no balls and in all honesty Gillis seems to know player personel better overall then Nonis did, i think gillis is a much better hockey guy

He was OK way back when he started, but his act is getting old. He criticizes players for celebrating and mocking other teams and shit. When he was coach, he was always show boating and taunting/mocking the other team and their fans. Talk about calling the kettle black.

He loves to look like the hero by showing support for the troops or by giving advice to young players and stuff. He knows how to pull the strings, for sure.
