But then we would get stuck with "glass doll Cloutier".LonelyGhost said:
I didn't see the game last night as I was on the road, but it seemed to me that that they came out flat again in the 1st Period. Why can't the fuckers get pumped up at the start? Is it just me or are the Canucks just a plain shitty 1st period team over the last few years?
well, we might then have some decent competition between Luongo and Clouts and they might both play better ... then we can trade Clouts for someone looking for a decent backup or something.Marvin said:But then we would get stuck with "glass doll Cloutier".

and the nucks are just playing the shits these days ... period!
If that is so, too bad they are all playing like shit so their stock isn't that high right now! If they keep it up, they won't even be worth a bag of pucks in trade!goodlube said:
there are some hot chicks at the game ... the way the nucks are playing they'd be happy to meet anyone who could msog!Marvin said:No kidding! I am not sure if I want to go to the game on Wednesday now.
Geez you guys are just too nice to these chumps.
1) They are 1W - 4L, soon to be 1 - 5, against Colorado and 0 - 2 against the Flames. They'll have to go through one of these teams to have any chance at the Cup.
2) They're 11 - 2 against shitty teams they should beat like Phoenix, Minny, Chicago, Columbus, and Anaheim and 4 - 8 against the decent/good teams. Take the Detroit games out and it's 2 - 8.
Judging by some of the report cards, you'd think they were the Sens or something. Hey, I want to see them win too but to be realistic, it'll be another first round exit unless they swap out some "core" players real quick.

And another thing to consider ... what about Dave Nonis? In my opinion, his performance has been suspect as well. Riding the coat tails of Burke's legacy and so far not impressing me with his re-signings. Cloutier?!? Morrison?!?!
I can't understand why anyone, watching Bertuzzi game in and game out still bellieves this guy is a "superstar". He isn't even a star. He's picking up assists because he's on every power play and matched with Naslund, but 8 goals? Three came in one game and admittedly were great goals, but take out those and it's five goals- one empty net, two bounced in on attempted passes, and one accidental deflection. That's one other legitimate goal. He rarely backchecks and insists on making wide sweeping circles after coughing up the puck. Power forward my ass. Pathetic forward is more like it.
Scary but we think alike JackFrost!JackFrost said:Marvin brings up a good point regarding Nonis. Do the players respect Mini Burke? I'd much prefer the Canucks to have a GM of Bob Gainey calibre..or even Tambellini would be a solid choice. Nonis just seems much too similar to Burke, minus the anger
Morrison is overpaid. He is making 3.2 million this season. So far he hasn't been making that money. 4 goals thru 25 games doesn't cut it for a 1st line center in the NHL
At the time, there were not many better options than Cloutier. Khabibulin was too expensive, Cujo was injury riddled, and I wouldn't call Thibault or Boucher a better option.
The sedins need to play in Sweden.. Are you sure you watch the Canucks? The Sedins have been the Canucks best line this season. They are finally turning into dominant two way players. Kudos to Nonis for signing them to a hell of a bargain deal. 1.25 million for each is one of the best deals today.
Jack is of course right on the money. Khabubulin is struggling big time and pulling in $6M. Thibault has just been waived by Pittsburg and I am guessing no GM is stupid or desparate enough to pick him up. I am not even sure if Boucher is still in the NHL. Cujo has played well of late but I can just imagine all the arm chair GMs cry foul if Vancouver had signed Cujo in the off season. While we are at it, do the arm chair GMs still think Auld is the answer? And those Florida rumors that you hear, forget about it.JackFrost said:
