Yea he's playing really well, but a 3rd start in 4 nights might be too much. I think Luongo for tonight is the logical move.

hey
Cory is only human!
but i dont disagree with starting cory either
him playng this 3 in 4 is probably something he will need to do in his future, might as well do it now

Only way you'll know if he can handle a starter's job is to give him games..Wasn't this what people were wanting?

ride him while he's hot! it's early in the season so 3 games in 4 nights is not a huge concern at this point in time imo.

thats thinking long term
3 in 4 on the road is tough with travel and timezones
t home, it wouldnt be a concern

regardless
GAME ON!

Yup, you're 100% correct.

It'll be interesting to see what GMMG does with Cory now...he was rumoured to be shipped to Phoenix for Shane Doan BEFORE we got Booth.

His value just skyrocketed even more.

[spoon.ek9]

The armchair GM's who were calling to trade Schneids the past few seasons can now eat their words. Hope y'all hungry:alonehappy:

There were valid reasons for trading Cory. We all know he's a great goaltender and even he himself knows being on the same team with Lu won't last forever. They are enjoying it while they can. At this rate though, Cory is making it a LOT harder for management to decide between him or Lu. however, the massive 12yr contract is still tipping the scales towards keeping Lu.

Remember, the rationality from people wanting to trade Cory was that realistically, we cannot keep both goaltenders for much longer and that we might as well get something worthwhile for such a good player.

[Bonka]

If he keeps playing like this and the Canucks feel they need to trade Schneider, all of a sudden his stock is worth that much more :fullofwin:

You can't lose with our goaltending tandem. If Lu is great, all is well. If Lu craps the bed, Schneider runs with it. Milk it while you can because Schneider will no longer want to be held back.
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[kwy]

Yup. kind of a sad thought that we won't really be able to keep Lu and Schneids together much longer. Schneider is way too good to be playing second fiddle. He could be making more money elsewhere and have a larger role.

[jeedee]

Perfect time to welcome Parise or Weber? :troll:

I kid, I kid, one can dream though :lol

[punkwax]

I don't think anyone has ever wanted to trade Schneids - its just been the inevitable truth. Lu's contract makes it damn near impossible to make the switch so trading Schneids for a blue chip prospect or proven first liner is what seems to be MG's best option...
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

[BMW M5]

That 12 years contract of Lu is pretty much handcuffed the Canucks to trade away Schneider. Thats really unfortunate...

[punkwax]

I'd say sticky more than unfortunate. What most people don't realize, and it frustrates the shit out of me, is that Lu is a PROVEN #1 goaltender with a fucking fantastic resume despite missing a cup. And regardless of what a lot of people think, he was integral is the Canucks reaching game 7. Was he perfect? No. But the people out there who 'think' they have a fucking clue about the game and make Lu the scapegoat when we lose are laughable.

Cory is a great goaltender thus far. But he has a long way to go before he's proven. I'm sure most of you can think of 5 goalies who made an impact early then disappeared off the face of the earth. I'm not saying that's what is going to happen, I don't have a crystal ball, but the possibility is real.

You don't know what you got until its gone folks.
Posted via RS Mobile (http://www.revscene.net/forums/announcement.php?a=228)

Also, people seem to forget there's a clause in Lu's contract that upon reaching the 5th year, either party can opt for a change in direction.

[DanHibiki]

this is the best thing that can happen to lu. internal competition

[dbaz]

actually lu has a very tradeable contract but it would have to wait until next year. his cap hit is more than his salary per year after next year. thats very attractive to teams looking to get to the cap floor while not actually spending as much

Umm Lu WAS a proven goalie. These past few years he is just another goalie in my opinion. Luongo WAS NOT an integral part of the playoffs in my opinion.
Was I watching a different playoff run? The wins luongo got under his belt were not due to a spectacular performance on his part
I do not recall one game that Luongo stole a game for us. Please enlighten me of such game(s) to put my ignorance to rest.

I'm not putting all the blame on Luongo. But, his performance in the playoffs was far below what we should expect from a top five goalie in the world.

Because Rinne was so solid in the series against Nashville, Luongo couldn't afford to let any stinkers in... same with Boston, except Thomas was better.

Luongo had 4 shutouts in last year's playoffs.

Luongo was pulled twice in last year's playoffs AND was opted against twice as starting goaltender. Shoulda been 3 (for SCF gm 3) if the dude's wishes didn't have so much weight on the coaches' calls.


That being said, it's not like I've ALWAYS been a Luongo hater... it's just that he's not the same athletic agility-based goalie anymore.

That being said #2: it's not like Schneider has ever done a full 82 long season so even though he's proven his peak is currently better than Lu right now, whether or not he can sustain it for a full season is still highly questionable; and all everyone can do is speculate with nothing but a small sample size as a basis.

Ya i understand it's an american thing but why not other american teams?

[AzNightmare]

Daniel has 6 goals, 19 assists
Henrik has 8 goals, 16 assists...

:suspicious: jersey swap?

[b0unce. [?]]

seeing Ryan here is unrealistic. Like mentioned already, cap is an issue as well.
I've been thinking of possible teams we could shop Schneider to if he isn't willing to stay...

Tampa? Roloson is getting old.
Columbus? No brainer there.
Edmonton, assuming the they don't decide to use dubnyk and cause the bhulin wall is retiring soon.
Ottawa.
I think Florida needs a goalie as well :troll:
New Jersey, if Brodeur retires next year (I think he's done imo)

[dbaz]

florida has markstrom. one of the best upcoming goalies

[AzNightmare]

What's Schneider's expected salary if he does decide to stay?

[jeedee]

I'd say atleast 2M if he accepts the paycut to play for a winning team.

[shawn79]

I'd say atleast 2M if he accepts the paycut to play for a winning team.

What if he does resign for 2 years at 1.5M /per and performs better than luongo putting him top 5 in the league. He wont be our future because luongo is locked for 8 more years with NTC:heckno:

[jeedee]

Always a good move to trade Luongo to New Jersey seeing how Brodeur is going to retire in 1-3 years :troll:

takarski sucks

edmonton should trade dubnyk and sam gagner to nashville for anders landbacks + 2nd round

[dbaz]

i think its possible to sign schnieder for 5-6 years at around 3million per. considering The current cap situation, no matter whos preforming best between the two now or later in the season, with the money saved better acquisitions can be made to bolster the team if luongo is traded. Remember ntc are nothing, if gomez can be traded anyone can. Disagree if you want but against boston after the hamhuis and rome were gone the team really went to shits. the team needs a number one dman.. with more cap and other people who can be dealt we can get one. But Im sure theres other ways to do it as well. Not petitioning for a trade immediately or anything I just think if one were to be traded you go with the one that saves you more cap.

that brings a good point on a bonafide number one dman. we have a somewhat deep defense (some say its overrated though) but no clear cut number 1. i hope edler steps up and shines even more this season

[shawn79]

you wouldnt find a #1 Dman for just luongo, maybe for Dustin Byfuglien... all the #1 Dman are tied tightly to their franchise
Maybe luongo + mayray for rick nash :troll:

[jeedee]

I agree. The team's priority right now is to replace the void Ehrhoff left. Sure, Edler has taken his spot, but what happens IF he's injured?

Who becomes the number 1 d-man? I really hope MG brings in an offensive puck moving defenceman :eek5x:

Speaking of Ehrhoff...I really miss him and this moment at the end:

:okay:

Oh Shawn you and your proposals, stop trying to replace Eklund :fuckthatshit:

i realize this and for that reason its also why luongo to me seems like the logical choice to trade. you will recieve more for him than you will for schnieder at the moment but no way you will get a number 1 dman because there arnt as many. youd have to deal the goalie for a young prospect either ready for the big show or close. depending on the prospect you can either get your number 1 dman if lucky or use the prospect you recieve for luongo along with say like rodin/schroeder, ballard/picks to get what you want.

Ducks are apparently shopping Bobby Ryan around...

Bobby Ryan - Kesler - Hogdson

wow...if only this could happen

[shawn79]

Come to think of it, Bowman (CHI GM) should have been fired but has a bunch of staffs who suck up to his daddy scotty. That newb ass had a team built for him as a dynasty and he forgets to resign the key compents of the team. Given the players default salary. After they won the stanley cup they lose their chance of being the first salary cap dynasty (Byfuglien, Ladd, Versteeg, Niemi, Bouwer, Bickell, Fraser, Barker)

P.S. signs hossa to a 5.2 contract for 6 yrs
:fuckthatshit:

[dbaz]

personally i see nsh as a good trading partner.. ellis, blum, weber, suter no room for them all. weber and suter have #1 capabiltiy. ellis and blum are going to be great offensive dmen. the lack offensive prospects while we have no room for ours

THE RUSSIAN ROCKET ON PUTIN, THE HALL OF FAME, OVECHKIN AND SOCHI

Thomas Drance
November 28 2011 09:15AM


Pavel Bure and then Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2001

Editors Note: Last week, the legendary former Canucks forward, Pavel Bure, stepped onto the ice for the first time in many years. He took part in an "old-timers friendly" alongside with other former Russian superstars and (surprise-surprise!) Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin. After the game he chatted with the media about making it into the Hall of Fame, about Ovechkin's regression, about his future in hockey and the Russian National Team. The original text for this interview comes from$Igor Rabiner of Sport-Express$and has been translated for our benefit by Andrey Osadchenko

Igor Rabiner: Is it true that, that your first hockey game in years?

Pavel Bure: It is. It’s not like I live in the past and go deep into it often, but I don’t recall a single time I've played hockey since I retired. Frankly, I did it out of respect for Vladimir Putin. Certainly, I was pleased to see the guys I’ve played with for many years, but if it wasn’t for the prime- minister, I don’t think anybody would have been able to convince me lace them up and step on the ice.

It’s all about respect really. It’s impressive when a guy who never skated or played hockey makes such a progress in 8-9 months. Not many people can do that, especially at such an age. Hockey is a complicated game – you have to be able to both skate and handle the puck. Besides, if you’re not used to this, even wearing shin pads and other stuff can be uncomfortable.

Rabiner: How many goals did Putin score?

Bure: Maybe 3 or 4 goals? Certainly, more than I did (laughs). He said he set a goal for himself – to learn how to play hockey. He’s doing step by step. He said he hoped that all of us achieve our own goals. I can relate to that. I have a similar philosophy. What also makes me happy is that, back in the day, the number one sport in our country seemed to be tennis, today, I think, it’s hockey.


Vladimir Putin (front) and Pavel Bure (to his right) take the ice together last week.

Rabiner: When you read in newspapers that Sergei Fedorov scored another goal for Metallurg Magnitogorsk, do you get jealous? Do you think that if it wasn’t for the injuries you’d still play pro hockey?

Bure: No. I don’t think I’d be able to play nowadays. Moreover – I don’t think I’d want to.$I’ve had enough and I barely even wanted to be on the ice today. If I’m needed to help create hype around hockey, make others, especially kids, want to play hockey because of my example, then sure, I’ll play hockey just like I did last Friday. But I’m not going to do it for myself.

Rabiner: Don’t you ever miss the game?

Bure: Not yet. I empathize the ‘yet’ part. I never say never. Maybe in a year or a decade I’ll be missing it, who knows?

Rabiner: You were a terrific hockey player who has every right to be included in the Hockey Hall Of Fame. However, it hasn’t happened...

Bure: I achieved in hockey everything I could. I have no control over what happens next. It’s a subjective decision. It’s up to the guys who decide who to induct in the Hockey Hall Of Fame.$For sure, it’s a great honor to get inducted there. I’m not going to say that I feel indifferent about that. But I have no control over it. To set a goal for yourself and achieve it on the ice is one thing. It’s all up to you. As for the Hockey Hall of Fame - you can’t induct yourself. Whether I played good or not good enough for that – let others decide.

Rabiner: How closely do you follow this story?

Bure:I follow everything that’s happening in hockey and not only hockey. I try to be well-informed about everything.

Rabiner: Is it true that last Friday you played in the same skates you used at the Nagano Olympics in 1998?

Bure: So that’s how the rumors start! (laughs) It wasn’t quite like that, no. I did have those skates with me because I haven't played hockey for such a long time. I simply didn’t have any other equipment.

I sat next to [Vyacheslav] Fetisov and [Alexei] Kasatonov in the dressing-room. They saw that I had old equipment and asked to give me a new stuff. So I used that. Someone just saw me brining in the old equipment, talked about it to the others and a few days later this story had new interesting details.

Rabiner: How much did the equipment change in the last decade?

Bure: A lot. You have to keep up with the times! I remember when I was a kid and practiced at Red Army hockey school, I would see old-timers play in skates with steel blades. Me and other kids thought it was funny because all of us already played with plastic blades. It was just like when Bjern Borg came back to pro tennis with a wooden racquet.$Back then I also had a thought that I wouldn't want to be laughed at for this reason. If you feel comfortable with some ‘work tools’, it doesn’t mean you don’t have to adapt to new ones. You would get surprised if you're a guy who uses an abacus and not a calculator.

Rabiner: You quit hockey because of severe knee issues. How did you feel last Friday? Did you try any "Russian Rocket" style dashes?

Bure:$No, no, no dashes (smiles). I’m old, it’s too late to accelerate. I felt alright, though. After all, it’s wasn’t the NHL, it was a friendly game, which is just fine for my knee.

Rabiner:$It’s not surprising at all. I’m aware of you love for tennis. I saw you play with Viktor Kozlov in the late 90’s and early 2000’s in Florida. People also say that you’re now into ju-jitsu?

Bure:$Correct. Note that I’m not into a sports ju-jitsu but into martial. I got into this more than 6 years ago. I’m serious about it – I practice 6 times a week. One practice takes up to half a day.

Rabiner: How did you get into it?

Bure:$After I retired from hockey, I kept myself in shape. I played tennis and went to the gym. To be honest, it was boring to go to the gym by myself. I was looking for something that would be fun and a good exercise at the same time. I tried ju-jitsu and I liked it.$I’m interested in finding out completely different abilities of my body that I had no idea of before. It’s a great exercise! I think it’s comparable only to hockey.

Rabiner: But you suffer if you get punched. Why would you put yourself in that position? It’s not like it’s your job.

Bure: For sure, getting punched hurts. Especially, because I practice with a pro. But it motivates you to get better! Besides, I don’t want to go to any tournaments and achieve any results there. But when you see your own progress, you know what you’re doing it for. Ju-jitsu attracted me not only because of its physical aspect, but spiritual aspect as well. It’s a whole philosophy that teaches you to treat people kindly. I didn’t do any martial arts before that and I was interested just how deep this school was.

Rabiner: Have you gained weight after you retired?

Bure: I never had any big issues with my weight. I never had to get on a diet or anything. Although, after I got into ju-jitsu I lost 22 pounds.


The Russian Rocket, looking trim in the Dojo (from October 2011).

Rabiner:$[Famous former Russian tennis player] Evgeny Kafelnikov after retiring from tennis got into poker and golf. Are you interested in these sports?

Bure:$When you do ju-jitsu for half a day, you don’t have time for any other fun stuff.

Rabiner:$How is your brother Valery doing? Nobody has heard a thing about him in Russia for years.

Bure: He moved to California a few years ago. He’s got his own business – he produces wine.

Rabiner: After Avangard’s GM, Anatoly Bardin, quit his position, people were saying you would be his replacement. Is it true you had negotiations with Avangard about that?

Bure:$I never heard about it.

Rabiner: Would you accept an offer to become a GM or a head-coach if there was one?

Bure:$I wouldn’t be a head-coach. I can give you a 100% on that. I have my reasons, but it’s a whole other story I don’t want to get into right now. As for everything else, I’m open to negotiate. I would only accept a deal as long as interest and profit are mutual.

Rabiner: Did you get any offers like this from the KHL?

Bure: The offers have been preliminary and vague. The 2 things I was asking for were never there. Some of them were interesting but not profitable, others were profitable but not interesting.

Rabiner: Do you root for any team? For instance, Red Army and the Vancouver Canucks? These are the teams you spent your most successful and important years of your career.

Bure: I wouldn’t say I ‘root’ for them per se – it’s just too strong a word. If you’re not a fan, but someone who’s in the hockey world, you’re more likely to cheer for the people you’re close with regardless of clubs they work for.$I watch hockey with a great interest no matter what side of the Atlantic it’s played at. I recently had a chat with Boris Mikhailov and we both agreed that hockey is more fun to watch on TV, since you can savor replays and everything. I thought I was the only one who was like that but it turns out even the greatest hockey players think like that.

Rabiner:Is there still a huge gap between the NHL and the Russian league?

Bure:$It’s getting smaller. A lot of things are being done for that by Russian government and KHL owners. But in order to close the gap entirely there’s still much to be done. Whether or not it’s going to happen, time will tell.

Rabiner:$Does it surprise you that SKA St. Petersburg tops the standings even after rejuvenation of the roster and hiring new coaches along with GM?

Bure:$No. I’ll tell you even more – I’m happy they top the standings. SKA’s new GM is my close friend Alexei Kasatonov. I cheer for SKA because of him. Their success makes me super happy.

Rabiner:$There’s a lot of talk about ‘Vityaz’ these days. Some people say that thanks to ‘Vityaz’ the KHL is known world-wide. Some people say they play anti-hockey. What’s your take on that?

Bure: ‘Vityaz’ always played like that and it’s not like it’s unprecedented. Back in a day the Flyers and Blackhawks played like that in the NHL. Even we in Vancouver never had a tough-guy problem (laughs). It’s up to team management to pick a direction to develop in. And there are different ways out there.

Rabiner: You were captain and leading goal-scorer for Team Russia at the Olympics in Nagano in 1998. Could you imagine back then that at the 3 next Olympics Team Russia wouldn’t even come close to what you managed to achieve back then?

Bure: Honestly, I’ve never thought of that. Because I live in the present, not in the past or the future. What’s done is done. Life goes on.


Bure Captained Team Russia's "Team of Brothers" in Nagano in 1998

Rabiner: Why do you think Team Russia was destroyed in Vancouver in 2010?

Bure:$Last Friday after the game I talked about this to [former Team Russia’s head-coach] Slava Bykov. He’s still convinced – as much as I am – that we had a very strong team in Vancouver. I can also add that we had a tremendous coach, who won 2 World Championships in a row before that. What happened? It’s hard to tell. Sport is not a science. You can’t put a label on everything.

Sometimes you’re just unlucky. On that particular day I’m sure it wasn’t as much that we played badly, as it was that the Canadians played well. On that particular night they were unbeatable. If the game happened a day before or a day after – it may have been a different story. It happens in sports.

Rabiner:$Does it surprise you that Bykov got fired pretty much because of that one defeat?

Bure:$That’s just what happens to coaches. If you lose, nobody is going to remember what have you won before that. If you get into this profession, you know the rules. I can only say that it wasn’t my decision to fire Bykov.

What amazed me in all this was Putin’s approach. Last Friday he thanked Bykov for the great deed he did for Russian hockey. It tells you that the prime-minister understands sports, and it shows you what kind of a man he is. Usually, [in Russia] if you lose, you just get fired and nobody is going to remember you.

Putin is a professional athlete, a wrestler. He thinks like an athlete, and I’m pleased to hear him say things that match my own vision. The fact that he organized a meeting between the former and current Team Russia head-coaches – Bykov and [Zinetula] Bilyaletdinov – demonstrates the good-natured atmosphere is being built around our national team.

Rabiner:$By the way, what do you think of new Team Russia coach?

Bure:$I like him a lot. I’ve known Bilyaletdinov for quite some time. I even played against him when he was finishing his career and I was just starting mine. We kept in touch when I played for the Canucks, and he coached the Jets.

He’s a pro. He was an excellent player, worked in the NHL, has a colossal amount of coaching experience. A lot of people didn’t think that Team Russia would play so successfully under his reign at its very first tournament (Karjala Cup). I wish Bilyaletdinov luck with all my heart.

Rabiner:$Why do you think your successor as the leading goal-scorer of all Russian hockey, Alexander Ovechkin, has severely regressed over the past 2 seasons?

Bure:$Because it’s hard to keep up to the level Ovechkin played at before. Your opponents watch your games closely, looking for the smallest nuances in your game and analyze it, so they could use it against you afterwards.

Rabiner: So what needs to be done?

Bure:$You have to find something new. And it’s not that easy. People think it’s that simple – you run, you shoot, you score 10 goals a game! There’s a ton of work behind all of that.

Rabiner:$Do you have any advice for Ovechkin?

Bure:$Not through the media. If Alex is interested in my opinion, I can talk to him privately and try to think of something to help him. Giving advice in public is just not my thing. He’s a grown man. He doesn’t need to schooled.

Rabiner: Recently all of Russia's superstars have underperformed in the NHL...

Bure:$In sport everything can happen. Even though they may be underperforming now, they're still superstars. They will figure it out in time.

Rabiner:$Will they play like they should in Sochi-2014?

Bure:$It’s unreasonable to talk about it now with Sochi still so far off. It’s still more than 2 years before the Olympics.$Sometimes a sniper scores 10 goals in a week and then can’t get none in the next 2. This is exactly what the head-coach’s job is – he has to pick the strongest players at the given moment. It’s always a better bet to pick a guy who scores more now, and not the one who did it last season.

Viktor Tikhonov, who I was lucky to play for at the beginning of my career, did just that. It was very rare for our Great Five to play badly, but if it happened, Tikhonov could easily put us, a formal third line at that time – Mogilny-Fedorov-Bure – on the first powerplay unit. This is exactly why he became such a great coach. He wasn’t afraid to do anything that was better for his team at any given moment.

Rabiner:$Does it bug you that despite all of your personal achievement, you never became an Olympic champion?

Bure: On one hand, of course, I would love to be one. On the other, I never thought I would achieve anything I have in hockey. I thank god every day for what he has given me. I never thought I would play in the NHL, score 50+ goals 5 times and become the top-scorer in the best league in the world 3 times. If you asked me, whether or not I am happy with my achievement in hockey, my answer would be – I am super happy!

Rabiner: The only thing you’re not happy about must be your health that forced you to retire at 32.

Bure: I think it’s for the best. I’m not sure I would continue my career even if I was healthy. I don’t regret a single bit about that. You shouldn’t anger god.

Rabiner: What does Team Russia has to do to become a ‘team of brothers’ as you rightly called Team Russia in Nagano?

Bure: It has everything to become one. It can be younger, better and stronger [than we were]. It has got support from the government. It has good coaches and wonderful players. In other words, there’s no doubt in my mind that we’re going to have a very strong team in Sochi. Although, many people forget that the NHL hasn’t permitted its players to participate at these Olympics yet.

Rabiner: Do you think it’s going to happen?

Bure: I can’t really tell, but I’m fully convinced it’s going to. The agreement isn’t signed yet and many NHL folks are against that. Some of them think it’s unprofitable for the league, especially because of 9-hour time difference, which is going to hurt TV-ratings badly. As you understand, on this topic I’m on the other side. The Russian side.

Rabiner:$As far as I understand, the majority of players regardless of what teams they represent, are as well.

Bobby Ryan - Kesler - Hogdson

If Bob Murray trades Bobby Ryan away I'm going to fly to the OC and gut him. Granted, if there was any of the big 3 to trade away, he goes first, but with him making 5 mil for the next 3 seasons given what he's capable of doing? Pretty good production for the money.

Wow, he just continues to still be my favourite Canuck even well past his retirement; and to think it's not like we were even short on superstars within the last decade.

Bure will always be the man. It really seems hes at peace with himself and honestly thats really what matters in the long run.

Jarome is a world class power foward, but face it he isnt getting any younger

i think shipping him out would be the only way for the franchise to move foward

Off the top of my head, you guys have giordano who is great and not too old. I'd consider him untouchable. everyone else should be expendable

Regarding your franchise sadly...
Jaybo unfortunately was/is overrated by the entire hockey world when he was a UFA. Thank god the canucks didnt take him...and his 6.7 million dollar cap hit.

Trading Phaneuf for a bag of pucks was also horrible. Everyone kept talking about how Ian White coming back from Toronto was one good thing coming back the other way as he was severely underrated. Now Calgary lets him loose...and hes doing decently in Detroit (although that could be hes playing with future HOFer Lidstrom)

Me and every armchair gm would cream themselves if we could land Iggy in Vancouver. But this is probably the last place he'd come...considering our cap and that we are division rivals. But even more outlandish trades have happened ie kessel for seguin and bryz in richards carter out

Okay that was a long rant, but if the flames GM has any balls he needs to move iggy. Team needs to be blown up. boom

[Tim Budong]

I think its up to the owners to give the OKAY on moving Iggy
hes not just a hockey player to the gflames, but he is an ambassador for the city and all the community projects and such that he runs makes the decision an even tougher choice

it doesn't matter, iggy's heart will always be with calgary
He's our Trevor Linden

its hard to hate the guy or even just BOO the guy

[trancehead]

true he is bigger than just an actual player on the team, but at what point do you put that infront of the team's on ice success?

sad to say theres no one of high value other than iggy

[RRxtar]

shipping iggy out is like shipping linden out. except a few years later with probably no chance of a return run before retirement

wont happen

[shawn79]

we did we shipped linden out and got mccabe(traded for h.sedin) bertuzzi and ruutu
bertuzzi later was traded for luongo

[Tim Budong]

Linden didnt have an NTC and keenen wanted him out
differnt case

[RRxtar]

i mean as far as what the player means to the team and the community. linden was the vancouver canucks. iggy is the calgary flames.

same case

[hotshot1]

I don't mean to derail the convo but Ovechkin is averaging around 18:46 a game, Backstrom with 18. That's 2 minutes less than 2 years ago, when they were actually putting up points. I know they're playing more defensively as a team but why is Brooks Laich averaging the same amount of icetime? WTF, your star players need to be playing heavy minutes.

[shawn79]

iggy means more to the nhl and canada than linden. Just because Linden does alot of community service linden =/= iggy

People knows linden because what he has done off the ice for this community. I remember him reading a book to me when i was in grade 2 :alonehappy: with big country :fuckthatshit:

[Tim Budong]

guess hes gotta pick which one he wants to be haha

[spoon.ek9]

Are you racist because im like the only white guy here?

race has nothing to do with how stupid your posts are. you say you're just trolling us? perhaps you need your access to VOT removed?

it's beyond ignorant that you think you're the only white guy in this thread. people think you're asian because your comprehension of the english language is terrible.

Also, if you're going to fail stalk members, I will most certainly make sure you lose that button and have ALL previous fails removed.

[shawn79]
