We have to win the cup this year. The Canucks haven't been this strong of a team since ... forever.

I think the teams between 1991 and 1994 were pretty strong.

Forwards:
Linden
Geoff Courtnall (great shot and clutch)
Ronning (best playmaker before H. Sedin)
Bure
Sergio Momesso (what Steve Bernier should have been)
Murray Craven (best 3rd line centre we've ever had)
Larionov
Odjick
Tim Hunter (Gino with a broken nose)
Nedved

Defence:
Lumme (best defencemen we've ever had)
Murzyn (a slug, but he knew how to clear the net)
Diduck and Dirk (solid and steady)
Lidster
Babych (moustache and all - solid as a rock)
Slegr (heavy shot)
Glynn (filled in admirably when Murzyn went down in '94)
Brown (just for the '94 run)

Goaltenders:
McLean
Whitmore (best backup goalie in Canucks history - the numbers speak for themselves)

Leaf fans think they'll be winning the cup this season. I was watching the game last night and they were talking all high and mighty about the team they have, yes it looks decent on paper but I still see cracks.

I don't even think it looks decent on paper. There defense is good but there forwards are probably as a group in the bottom 5 worst roster in the NHL. If they crack the top 12 in the East they had a good season.........who are we kidding they'll finish 15th again. :)

anti-leaf homers like yourself seem to ignore the sensible leaf fans like myself. even if you focus on the moronic homers who "plan the parade" after a preseason win they do not represent anywhere close to a majority of leaf fans. all teams have there moronic fans, the leafs just happen to have larger numbers because of their massive fan base. i'd be willing to bet the percentage of homer fans, if you could even come up with a definitive number, is no greater than any other fan base in the nhl. the leafs have one of the largest if not the largest fan bases in all of hockey and perhaps one of the largest in all of sports. they also get a majority of the media coverage; thats just the way it is by no fault of their own. you get to witness more of our homer fans because of these factors.

keep in mind the boston bruins were the lowest scoring team in the east (29th overall), relying heavily on defense and goaltending and they managed to make the playoffs. the east is weak and unpredictable. if the leafs get decent goaltending (a pylon would be an upgrade over toskala to start the season) and a healthy blue line with some leadership they can easily move up in the standings.from the point when toskala was traded out, phaneuf, giggy brought in, and young talent like bozak and gunnarson brought up, the leafs would have been good for 7th in the east. i'm not getting my hopes up but as long as they don't start out like last season they will be exciting to watch.

Canuck's ranked #2 in TSN rankings

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=335904

Join TSN in a 30 teams in 30 days tour of the NHL in preparation for the upcoming season. Teams will be unveiled in reverse order of the pre-season TSN.ca Power Rankings, and the Vancouver Canucks are up next. Get the lowdown on their off-season and the issues they face this season. Use the Your Call feature to give us your take on the Blackhawks!

Vancouver Canucks
2009-10: 2009-10: 49-28-5 (3rd in West, Eliminated in Conference SF by Blackhawks)
General Manager: Mike Gillis (3rd Season)
Head Coach: Alain Vigneault (5th Season)

What they did in the off-season:

For the second straight season, the Canucks saw their playoff dreams end at the hands of the much hated Blackhawks. The summer was spent licking their wounds and re-loading for what the team hopes will be their best shot at the Stanley Cup in franchise history.

The Canucks kicked off their summer by re-signing perennial ‘goaltender of the future' Corey Schneider to a new two-year deal, with the promise that he will serve as the team's primary backup and give incumbent starter Roberto Luongo a few extra days of rest throughout the season. Seeing as they had difficulty dealing with the size and speed of the Blackhawks forward group, the Canucks looked to bolster their blueline over the summer, first with the re-signing of Aaron Rome, then by trading for Keith Ballard from the Florida Panthers in exchange for Steve Bernier and prospect Michael Grabner. Vancouver made Shane O'Brien a qualifying offer to keep the much maligned defenceman around for at least another year. The Canucks then made their biggest signal of intent as the inked shutdown defender Dan Hamhuis to a massive six-year deal, virtually ending the tenure of Willie Mitchell on the West Coast. While not a defenceman, Manny Malhotra was one of the best two-way forwards in the league last season, and the Canucks rewarded him for his efforts by signing him to a new three year deal. Jeff Tambellini was also brought in as a free agent while the likes of Mitchell, Pavol Demitra, Kyle Wellwood, Andrew Raycroft, Ryan Johnson and Brad Lukowhich were all allowed to walk.

Tanner Glass, Janik Hansen and Mason Raymond were all retained while Raffi Torres was brought in on a one-year deal. In a surprise to virtually no one, Sami Salo injured himself, tearing his Achilles tendon in training which will cause him to miss significant time this season. Fortunately the Canucks were very proactive in restocking their defence corps; so while the injury will be felt, the Canucks have adequate depth on the blue line to compensate for his loss.

Biggest issue facing the team:

Expectations heading into the season are perhaps the highest in franchise history, and for good reason. The Canucks are as stacked as any team in the NHL with great depth at forward complemented by a solid group of defenceman and an All-Star goaltender who will receive a considerable push from their hotshot rookie backup. The Canucks biggest issue may be how they handle the increased expectations while attempting to satisfy a rabid fan base who feels the time is right for the team's first championship.

Although Alex Burrows may miss the first month after undergoing shoulder surgery, he should slide right in on the top line and ride shotgun on the Sedin Express when he regains full health. Ryan Kesler will look to build upon his breakout season and the signings of Malhotra and Hamhuis should help the team's mediocre penalty killing. A lot of the responsibility will once again fall on the shoulders of Luongo who was not his normally stellar self last season. A great deal of this could be due to the amount of pressure he was under to perform at the Olympics where he helped Canada capture gold. With the Olympic distraction out of the way, and Cory Schneider knocking on the door, look for Bobby Lu to bounce back in a big way and the Canucks to challenge for the Cup.

Player to watch:

No matter how you slice it, Roberto Luongo will be under the microscope this season. While his regular season statistics would suggest that he had another superb season, those who watch the team closely would say otherwise. Luongo sported a 2.57 goals-against average and .913 save percentage with just four shutouts, all low water marks for his career since joining the Canucks. Bobby Lu's play really suffered during the playoffs where his already mediocre numbers ballooned once again. A lot of this may be attributed to Luongo's Olympic participation. A tournament of that magnitude in the middle of the season unquestionably saps a player both mentally and physically. It became clear down the stretch and in the post-season that Luongo was worn out. Fortunately for the Canucks there are no Olympic games in 2011 to disrupt their season and Schneider is expected to spell Luongo more often than Andrew Raycroft did last campaign. If the Canucks are able to manage Luongo's minutes better than they have in the past, then it should be a very good season in Van City this upcoming year.

sucks to see two former leafs, tucker and wellwood, without jobs in the nhl. I don't like seeing veteran players squeezed out of jobs in the nhl simply because of the way the CBA is structured. the cap era has only made the nhl more cold and calculated. most players seem more like disposable assets with an even shorter shelf life. a player in his early 30's, usually in the prime of his career, doesn't to hold the same high value he once did. i know, financially, the no-cap era wasn't working for a lot of american/small market teams but i really miss it more than ever. that and the apparent pussification of the nhl for the american market has me really missing the mid 80's to mid 90's hockey i grew up watching.

my rant wasn't just about former leafs who are out of jobs, it was about all veteran players in the nhl who are out of jobs they would have still had if there was no cap. guys who still produced as much as the rookies but provided much more with their experience in leadership.

edit. a non-biased hockey fan would never have assessed tucker as a shitty player in his prime, he was one of those guys fans of other teams loved to hate but would have loved to have him on their team. he played a hard nose intense game that took a toll on his body and I wish the leafs were closer to being a lock for the playoffs now because they could have used him. wellwood on the otherhand, im not too upset about. but he did leave the leafs on relatively good terms so in a way I would have liked to see things turn out for him.

[Psb1]

I'm thinking Schaefer gets a contract.

Be realistic. There's no room for Peter on this team and remember this is guy is on a PTO. Schaefer is seen as a PK yet he has played games where he was on the ice when the opposition scored on the PP.
Its quite likely another team may sign him after Schaefer showcased himself but he won't bring anything else to the table that guys like Desbiens, Rypien, Glass, Oreskevich, Hordichuck already possess on the 4th line.

The player that has earned himself a roster spot is Alexander Bolduc.
His skating was immaculate, he was finishing checks and showed a lot of skill for a 4th liner. Bolduc makes Hordi, R.Johnson, Bernier look awful in comparison

This is my opening day roster next saturday vs King

Danny Henny Sammy
Raymond Kesler Tamby
Hansen Malhotra Torres
Desbiens Bolduc Rypien/Oreskovich

Luongo

Watched bits and pieces of the game last night, seem like a solid effort by the entire team but man, for a 40 year old Teemu is still going strong.

[CRS]

Various news outlets are reporting that the Vancouver Canucks have put winger Darcy Hordichuk and defenceman Shane O'Brien on waivers this morning.

The team had talked about making cuts today.

Hordichuk, 30, had one goal, two points, a minus-seven rating and 142 penalty minutes in 56 regular season games last season for Vancouver. He didn't dress for a playoff game.

O'Brien, 27, had two goals, eight points, a plus-15 rating and 79 penalty minutes in 65 regular season games. In 12 playoff games, he had one goal, three points, a plus-3 rating and 25 penalty minutes.

hordichuck and rypien are interchangeable with rypien having more offensive upsides

they gave SOB 1.6 qualifying offer, now hes on waivers????

[murd0c]

The reason more then likely is that no one expected Alberts to setup like he did in the preseason and with making 500k less that gives us room to sign say Morrison for the league min if he's willing to take that.

[carisear]

500mill less? :P

i think we all liked the growth of SOB, and also his passion -- from being just a penalty taking goon, to turning into a pretty solid hockey player.

[JKam]

The 6th dman spot was SOB's to lose. He didn't do anything in the preseason while Alberts showed how well he can play. SOB knew what he needed to do (be aggressive and be a presence on the ice) but he didn't do it.

[murd0c]

you know what I mean LOL. I'm a huge fan of SOB sad to see him go :(

[trancehead]

Hordi was deadweight lol. Could not fight half as good as Rypien even

[Psb1]

O'brien & Hordi cut from lineup.
This is getting good!!

A little late to make the move to dump Hordi and O'brien waiver is a no brainer since Albert was absolutely gunning for his spot which he did.

I'm liking how the Canucks brass is getting rid of all the dead weight and useless players.
Let the young prospects shine and were gonna have a sick good team this year.

I don't want to see them sign Morrisson or Shaefer. Let Tambi have a shot he deserves it plus if he makes the team, remember his dad is GM of the oilers. Could be some thank you favors in the form of a trade at the trading deadline. Who knows..

i think all this shit about the nucks being over the cap is all BS anyways, because no one saying "they are 3+ million over the cap" is taking into account that both Salo and Burrows are gonna be on LTI for at least a month, thats like 1 million per month off the cap pretty much

I don't think the cap works like that.

My understanding of the cap was that the players average salary will work against the cap if he is in the line-up. This does not mean that he gets X taken off if he is on LTIR because he plays less and therefore is less against the cap.

I thought it was when the player returns, his full cap hit will come into effect but remain dormant if he is injured.

No.

I think the wording for the salary cap was that regardless of how long you are out for, the avg salary will still hit the team cap.

So when burrows comes back, even if out for 1/2 of the season, his hit will be 2mil.

I hope I'm wrong, I know it's stupid but I think that it is the wording for how the salary cap works.

You are wrong. Their cap hit disappears while they are on the LTIR. Only their cap hit for the games they can suit up for, potentially, will be counted against the cap. If a player is on the roster, but is a healthy scratch, their cap hit still counts against the cap. If they're injured and on the LTIR, it doesn't. In Salo's case, if he comes back for 10 games, only those 10 games count against the cap. In Burrow's case, if he missed 15-20 games, that doesn't count against the cap. You don't get penalized for the cap hit a player has if they are unable to play due to injury otherwise you'd have goons all over the NHL just taking out star players so that a team would have to fill in the gaps with others, and then be screwed if/when those large cap hit players were ready to come back. Just one example. Bad example, I know, but it is an example.

It's a good thing, in ways, that Burrows and Salo are on the LTIR. Salo may miss the entire season with his achilles tendon injury, so that's about 3.5m off the cap which definitely helps.

[clowe]

What you said is correct, but there is a LTIR replacement that teams can utilize to exceed the cap if they're at the cap ceiling.

I found this on another board that explains it pretty well:

How does LTIR work? Does my team gain cap space when a player goes on it?

LTIR is a somewhat difficult concept to understand correctly because there are many simplifications that have been disseminated over message boards and even the mainstream media that are incorrect.

When a player goes on LTIR, his cap hit does not “come off the books” so to speak. What LTIR allows a team to do, is to exceed the cap ceiling by a certain amount if they choose to do so.

Let’s look at a hypothetical example: The cap ceiling is at 50 million and a player with a cap hit of 5 million is placed on LTIR for the remainder of the season. If the team had a salary cap of 50 million, then they would be allowed to exceed the cap ceiling by 5 million. They can do this with call-ups, trades or free agent signings. If the team had a salary cap of 48 million, they can only exceed the cap ceiling by 3 million. If the team had a salary cap of 45 million or less, then they cannot exceed the cap ceiling at all.

A team does not cap space by having a player go on LTIR, rather they gain the ability to exceed the cap ceiling by a certain amount.

What’s the distinction between exceeding the cap ceiling and gaining cap space? Isn’t it the same thing?

No. They key difference is that LTIR cap relief is not “bankable”. For example, in 2009-10 Montreal Canadiens’ Andrei Markov missed 3 months due to an injury and was placed on LTIR. This allowed the Canadiens to exceed the cap ceiling by a considerable amount had they chosen to do so. However, the Canadiens made no major moves and remained under the cap. Markov’s stint on LTIR did not ‘save’ the Canadiens cap space that could be applied later in the season to acquire a high priced player. “If you don’t use it, you lose it”.

Please note that for teams who do end up exceeding the cap ceiling due to players on LTIR have to mindful of the player’s eventual return. If the Canadiens had replaced Markov with another high priced player, they would have been required to make cap room for both Markov and said player when Markov returned.

[jigga250]

we are going to get crushed in the playoff by SJ LA ANA by lack of toughness
although sedins seem to play more agressive lately which is a plus

who all do these teams have that are so tough? The Nucks may not have a bunch of goons, but they are a gritty team. Samuelsson, Kesler, Burrows, Torres, Rypien, Glass, Bieksa all play a fairly chippy style.

Why didn't lack of toughness ever stop the Red Wings from succeeding?

[Hondaracer]

the toughness we always lacked were those 3rd and 4th lines that can match up against the other teams top lines and shut them down, then when needed they can match up against another teams 3rd/4th and be tough enough and skilled enough to play against that they come out ahead the majority of the time wether it be puck possession or physical play

Chicago had depth to their lines that could produce and we really had no answer for them, sure Ryan Johnson could block shots but he had absolutely zero offensive upsides, so you go out against a team that has you hemmed up in your own zone, crashing the net, etc. and you cant do shit because you dont have the skillset to match up with them

Phyiscality isnt needed in the majority of top 2 lines, you just need toughness and skill and i think both our first and 2nd lines have grown into those types

I'd really love to meet Chicago in the playoffs again just for the oportunity to beat them finally

A little late to make the move to dump Hordi and O'brien waiver is a no brainer since Albert was absolutely gunning for his spot which he did.

I'm liking how the Canucks brass is getting rid of all the dead weight and useless players.
Let the young prospects shine and were gonna have a sick good team this year.

I don't want to see them sign Morrisson or Shaefer. Let Tambi have a shot he deserves it plus if he makes the team, remember his dad is GM of the oilers. Could be some thank you favors in the form of a trade at the trading deadline. Who knows..

I dunno... I liked the "History Will Be Made", but it got overplayed after.
Partially because they were so easy to replicate and spoof, I couldn't
even tell which were the real ones. Every kid out there that knew a bit
of video editing where spamming them all over youtube.

Anyway, some of these new ones looked a bit weak.
I found the Ovie one kind of comical. lol. Probably because of the cheesy

They definitely need a Canucks one.

[b0unce. [?]]

The Ryan Miller ad was nutty

[quasi]

I don't think the cap works like that.

My understanding of the cap was that the players average salary will work against the cap if he is in the line-up. This does not mean that he gets X taken off if he is on LTIR because he plays less and therefore is less against the cap.

I thought it was when the player returns, his full cap hit will come into effect but remain dormant if he is injured.

Take the players salary and divide it by the length of the NHL season in days. That number is the amount of money that is not counted towards the cap for every day that player is on LTIR.

The full cap hit does not come back because you had to pay someone to fill that spot well the injured player was gone it would be like double dipping.

Canucks released Bmo.

Without playing, and without a contract, Brendan Morrison was not without his sense of humour.

"Out with a bang, big finish, eh," Morrison said.

Not quite.

The fan favourite, if not the Canucks', didn't get an opportunity to play in the final preseason game Friday, a 4-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks. Although head coach Alain Vigneault warned against it, it was hard not to read into it as an ominous sign for his chances of Vancouver offering him a contract.

That and the fact the Canucks remain about $800,000 over the salary cap, even after waiving both Darcy Hordichuk and Shane O'Brien.

Morrison wasn't trying too look too deep into the decision, but it was hard to hide the fact he wanted to play in the preseason finale.

"I thought I would be," Morrison said. "But you will drive yourself crazy if you try to figure out what they are thinking."

Either way, Morrison leaves the preseason with no regrets, content he made the right decision when he decided to sign a tryout deal at the last minute before training camp in Vancouver. The Canucks hold his negotiating rights until Wednesday but should make a decision on Morrison by today. That would be right by Morrison, who wants to know as soon as possible.

"I think it was the right call," Morrison said of signing the tryout. "I played fairly well and I tried to be professional every day, come in, work hard.

"I don't have any regrets about this. A couple of games went real well, a couple of games were average.

"In both the games that were average, we got beat up pretty good in those games. They are not very memorable."

There have been lots of rumours that if Morrison doesn't sign in Vancouver, he will get another offer, possibly in Calgary where the Flames are thin up the middle.

"The positive of coming to camp is that if it doesn't work out other teams take notice that I came in and had a had a good camp, they might take a chance and sign me."

Would have been nicer if he carried the puck up as normal, and did the toe to the puck move as he approached the goal, right before the spin.

Vancouver puts Jeff Tambellini on waivers.

I believe VAN has traded O'Brien to NAS for Ryan Parent. Vancouver has Ryan Parent on waivers today.
As per Bob Mckenzie's twitter http://twitter.com/TSNBobMcKenzie

if Ryan Parent stays as a Canuck then the Predators would have traded Hamhuis and Parent away for a 2011 conditional round pick.

FYI, Preds traded away Parent in part of the blockbuster deal in 2007: Parent + Upshall, 1st round pick + 3rd round pick for Peter Forseberg. Only to have traded back for Parent for Hammy and 2011 cond pick.

Unreal! Hope Parent clears since he seems to have a pretty good upside

Update: Ryan Parent + Jonas Andersson in exchange for SOB and Gendur

Apparently Parent had a good preseason too
But he was bad in the playoffs lol

Just another first round bust like Patrick White, probably why he gets traded around like a village whore. Guy played 40 something games last year and was a -14 LOL.

"Jonas Andersson is the other player NAS sent to VAN. Andersson will be joining the Manitoba Moose."

from Hockey's Future: http://www.hockeysfuture.com/prospect/ryan_parent

Seems to have leadership potential which is hard to teach. Good to have in the organization even if its just at the AHL level

[InvisibleSoul]

Not sure if mentioned, but Grabner got plucked off the waiver wire by the Islanders.

[spoon.ek9]

wow, lots of movement today. opening day roster will be finalized by tmrw!

[raygunpk]

Andersson and Parent going our way
Parent waived
Tamby waived
Schaefer deal should be reported soon

crazy morning

[jerche]

Wow Tamby had a pretty good preseason too and he's cheap! I'm surprised he's not gonna make it

[Hondaracer]

If grabner cant make the islanders his career is potentially done

[spoon.ek9]

how much would schaefer be getting paid?

[invader]

probably league minimum

[raygunpk]

yeah probably 1yr 2way deal 600k around

[rsx]

Not a fan of Schaeffer at all

[choda]

he sucked in the preseason, bmo>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>schaeffer

[TRD Rs200]

why the fuck is schaeffer still here???

[ShyGuy]

schaeffer has a lot more grit than BMo...

[raygunpk]

Wellwood signs in KHL

[murd0c]

thats no surprise with Wellwood

[shawn79]

we dont have ryan parent anymore?

andersson seems like he can fill our 4th line role

[Harvey Specter]

Schaefer didn't impress me at all during preseason play but I guess at $600,000 he's decent enough to fill the 4th line.

[TRD Rs200]

Raffi's got some scary eyes

[Ronin]

Didn't Tamby sign a 2-way? Why is he being waived rather than just sent down to the Moose?

[invader]

Are the Shane Obrien Roxy photos posted in this thread?
