Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
Just because entry level goalies (Niemi, Halak, Rask) are getting it done doesn't mean that they always will. That's a crapshoot at best.
Find me another goalie with 35+ wins a season in Luongo's cap hit? Nabakov? 6m. Miller? 6m. Kipper? 6m. Only MA Fluery and Brodeur are near Louie's salary.
So you know nothing about hockey so I suggest shutting the fuck up.
relax man, 35+ win in a season doesnt mean the guy can get it done in the post season. 2 straight years he failed to shut the door in the 2nd round. A star goalie will steal u these games, and he has failed to do so under pressure

Or have a goalie that can barely put us into the playoffs we may aswell flip a coin there and then roll the dice to see if he becomes the next cinderella story
edit* i guess u guys couldnt tell i was being sarcastic

bobby lu let us down the 1st time with chicago
but this year, u cant expect to win with the clowns we had on defense lol
judging by how this offseason is going, the canucks could very well go deep next year if they keep adding good Defenseman and a good solid/big checker

some people can't slow it down and really take a look around the league. Yes the Flyers and Hawks made it to the cup final with rookie or inexperienced goalies, but did people sit down and look at the teams goalie out? Both teams can score, both teams can shut down on D and both teams have offensive production from the D.
lets compare the nucks last season to the two team structures
forwards who can score, 6 players with 25+g, check
Production from D, CHECK
actual defence, NOT THERE
depth, somewhat, but the team we have were too injury prone. the hawks had some pretty good depth on the back end
consistent goaltender, the nucks have this, experience and everything
It's all about finding the perfect solution. If infact MG is gonna beef up the back end, then once again, we find the nucks in a pretty good position to compete for even 2nd or 1st in the west. I mean for the coming season, we have a pretty good duo in net, the D should be better, and forwards upfront, pretty damn good

What do you expect the poor guy to do?
The defense was crippled, our PK was fail, our top 6 players were injured, and Buttfuck was in his face.
He had his good moments and made saves most of the time. He was great but not amazing. He'd probably do way better with Mitchell in the lineup. Without help from the D, goalies are pretty vulnerable, remember, defense wins championships.
5.2m is a damn bargain for Luongo, any team in the league would die for his contract. If you can propose a better solution I'd like to hear it. Whining about it ain't gonna help. Luongo is an emotional player. HE WANTED TO PLAY WELL but when you have no help, you can't
Andrew Ladd is off the market
CHI gave him an extension
They've only extended him a qualifying offer to retain his rights. Ladd still has to accept that qualifying offer or negotiate a new contract with them.

Just my 2 cents. Take it as you please
ny rangers is a good example of a GOOD goalie trying his best but his defense isnt there to help him
confirm/deny i think lundqvist makes something like 4.5m but rangers defense is garbage

He was on a 1 year deal worth 4.275 prior to his 6 year 41+ extension and now is cap hit is 6.875/year

No way Sharks were going to give up on Pavelski after the playoffs he had.
Little Joe is part if the American 2way centermen movement haha look at kesler and parise and u will see. I would love to have this guy on my team Posted via RS Mobile
The Flyers are most frustrated by the reasons negotiations feel apart over Hamhuis. It wasn't about dollars. It wasn't about term. It was about role, at least if Hamhuis' words are to be taken at face value. In speaking to the Flyers, he wanted assurance that the 4+ million would also land him on the power play and in the top two pairings..
I know hamhuis is really good defensively, and obviously if we land on him we will give him a big role; however his attitude reminds my of Mathieu Schneider.
I don't think we should bring him over in my opinion. Plus we need to cap space to sign other 3rd and 4th line forwards.
