The final flight aboard AC7037 until Sept. This must be one of the worst flights the team has been on all season long, 4 hours and 30 minutes to think about the lose.

:(

Here's a question for debate.

With all the complains about Salo made of glass but knowing he brings a lot to the team...would you want to sign Gaborik?

doood not cool man... it was funny on cloutier but without bobby lu we would be at the bottom of the conference for sure! this one looks like a bigger beach ball too

LOL

Depends on how much he wants and what the terms are. One thing about Gaborik is he is a impact player. Look what he did for the Wild when he returned, they almost made it into the playoffs but ran out of games. Imagine what he'll do with Pavol as his linemate.

but they would battle it out for the man of glass title ..

i think sedins will resign, they dont wanna be split up and no other team has room for both of them other than TO.

ohlue is gone, sad to see him go.
pyatt.......gtfo, no room for u here lol

Um, Sundin had 7 pts in this series.

Salo is good, but I agree that the Canucks should find another QB Dman to take the #1 spot first. That should relieve Salo of minutes, kinda like when Jovo was here and maybe he won't get hurt as much....Then look for a solid 2nd line player or 1st line...depending if the Sedins re-sign or not

Maybe this will cheer us up a bit:)

yeah like others have mentioned we realli need a D who can move the puck well
we need speedy defencemen

i dono if its a repost but u guys see lu after post game fukn sad
he took all the blame

hes about too cry =/

Not everyone is bashing Luongo here.

What everyone is stating, yes - he got us NW Champ, Yes - he got us playoffs 2nd around.

But as the cliche goes - the best players have to elevate their game when it's the most important game of the playoff.

I don't see why everyone here, is embarassed to be "canucks fans" because a few people are bashing him.

Great he did all he did for us! I watch almost every damn game i can. But in the end, everyone can plainly see. He did not play his best game when the team needed him the most.

Yes he's bailed out the team 1000000000X, but we needed him tonight. When everyone else played great, your best player doesn't. It is hard to swallow for the average bandwagon fan and the ultra hardcores.

That being said - GREAT SEASON! I can't wait till next year - wonder how the nucks are going to look like.

I really hope Mattias can resign. Fav. Canucks #3 all time behind Linden and Bure.

Lu really takes the loses personal, feel bad for him. I still remember his emotional post game interview after the 2007 OT lose to the Ducks.

reminds me of last year at the end of game 82...

sigh.

Its really hard to NOT bash Lu tonight.
but wutever it was, tonight showed that

1. The team this year was the real deal
2. Luongo is the real deal(.92x save% heading into 2nd round)
3. The canucks were built to keep leads

I can blame officiating issues for the whole 2nd round, which i must say, was kinda weird. The penalty kill tonight looked horrible. The powerplay was decent enough as well.

As for Luongo. Whatever it was, he took it hard, as expected, especially when everyone played their hearts out.

I will say this again, especially to the sedin bashers, The twins have stepped up production and has done things right. The hawks defence also did what they needed to do, shut down the twins as much as possible. Both of these key factors were done correctly. Sundin, looked great the past few games, yes..too little too late, but i really think that he did what was needed to make a difference.

As for the defence tonight, they were chasing the hawks and we all know that our D isnt the best when it comes to foot speed, Tonights game showed that. The canucks did their best on the rush, and the defence collapsed. As offensive minded Gillis wanted the team to be, the defensive moves he made solidified the team as a team that can hold leads and slow down fast teams AS long as the forwards accepted the game placed before their hands.

Ohlund will be missed, and if the trend for loyal swedes continue, he might stay around for cheap, and I hope the sedins will as well. The twins are for real, yes, they might not have had a great 2nd round, but they definitely tried all they could with the stingy pair of seabrook and keith.

The off season talk can begin now but the team has found their identities as well as the mentality of being a team. It's hard to blow up this team, becuz by doing so, everything in the past 3 seasons will be completely put to waste.

In my mind since game1 vs st.louis was that all the past winners have had some amazing side story to sweetin the deal. Ours might be tragic, but i always thot that Bourdon and Pyatt's fiancee would guide this team to glory

Well the point I was trying to make is that Gaborik, like Salo, is made of glass. Ya he'd be a crazy player if we got him. But for what? 40games during the reg season? Do you really wanna blow 7mil on a player who you can't rely on because he's nursing an injury half the time??

Ppl complained bout Salo being made of glass, dun think we want another player on the team with that kind of injury prone.

Salo's injuries over shadowed his points production and impact every single year, sad but it would be a great loss as theres not many Dmen out there like him.

Gaborik, i would much rather have cammelleri. cheaper too!

LOL I was wondering if anyone would notice

seeing him cry makes me so sad :'( tonight's game was disheartening... i didn't watch it but it really shows they TRIED SO HARD!... 5 goals? isn't that the most they've scored this round? they should have tried this hard all along. sorry if i offend anyone but you just gotta respect the skills that other teams have over us.... Blackhawks are so sneaky with their catching up. too late to apologize now!


i think they did really well already and should be proud of their efforts:thumbsup:... at least they're the last canadian team in the playoffs yo
sigh.

I think Bernier is a must in terms of re-signing. He still has the potential to be that scorer that we all hope he would be and if not, hey, he's still an AWESOME 3rd line checker who can chip in 15-18 goals.

I also think the Sedins is a must resign. Trust me, people are gonna be complaining how we should have resigned them next year when we have NO top line.

I REALLY want Bouwmeester.

So who are some other topend UFA forwards next year?
Gaborik
Camellari
Hossa
...?

For some reason, I have a feeling Sundin still has it left in him and this was just an off season.

damn... teared up watching that...

gg canucks, good season!!!

We went pretty deep imo and it was a good run considering the team we have...exciting finish.

i STRONGLY believe AV will not be going anywhere.
