Wow! Those Canuckleheads really suck this year!

Not sure these useless freaks can turn it around. Maybe they'd finish dead last and get a high draft pick
I was at the game last night and I must admit it looked pretty bad. The Canucks may have dominated the first two periods play-wise, but there were few if any real scoring opportunities, and every time they got the puck in open ice it seemed they had no legs and just couldn't turn on any speed.
As for Bieksa and Salo, anyone know how long they are going to be gone? That puck in the face for Salo looked pretty bad (lots of blood) but I didn't really see what happened to Bieksa. Can anyone enlighten me on that one?
Do you know what the Vancouver Canucks and possems have in common?
They both play dead at home and get killed on the road.
LOL

Isn't this the same song as last year? The Canucks were better at the start of season, but they still sucked.
As for who will go, do the Canucks really have anything another team would trade for? (Other than Luongo or the Sedins...)
Alain Vigneault could get the axe, but that's unlikely. Nonis will stand pat, and hope for a miracle...
They are not getting the breaks they got last year. It is still early though, but we Canucks bandwagoneers are impatient.
more to come...
There WILL be a trade or two, Nonis has over 4 million under the salary cap to play with, I think he just wanted to see if Raymond or Shannon could stick with the team before making a move. Look for Cory Schneider and Luc Bourdon to be packaged with one or two of the overpaid guys, Cooke + Morrison come to mind.

Just WIN The Cup
At my age of 38 years,running out of time to see them win the big prize!Get going you guys,skate hard,and shoot the puck.

Nonis is the most boring GM in the league. I recall some guy calling into 1040 last yr and saying in broken english, "Nonis should be an accountant!"...Ahahahaha...I couldn't agree more. He is all about the books ie. keeping the owners happy, financially. He has very little hockey sense and I doubt the whole Canucks Scouting staff is any good.
I hope the Canucks turn it around fast, which I doubt...or I hope they tank really fast and are out of the playoff race by Christmas.
Personally, I don't like the makeup of the team...especially on offense. The sad thing is, almost all the 2008 marketable and talented free agents are already signed this yr, so No-Nuts-Nonis has to make a trade or be canned!
The only positive is that you can always bet on them to lose on Sportsaction. I made a few $$$ betting against them.
Go Canucks Go !!!
Go Canucks Go !!!
I honestly don't think they have it this year. It seems like falf the team is very inexperienced. I think next year is something else though. Both Naslund and Morrison are going to be free agents. I think that equates to nearly 10 million off the books. They need to make sure they bring in a couple good 6 million dollar players that can put the puck into the net.
To me, the Sedins are still secondary scorers. The Canucks still need a couple first line players. A few years ago, Naslund and Morrison fit the bill. Not so much anymore.
Speaking about heart and legs, I wonder if their run after Christmas last year have made them more lackadaisical this time around. They're thinking to themselves, "Oh we were on such a roll after Christmas. We don't have to worry about this year." Well, I hope they pick it up a few notches! They were tied for last in the league after the predators!!

WHY? If we can't either bash - support - or second guess our hockey team, where would the fun would it be.
