LOL @ Nucks, At least I get some enjoyment out of teams I don't like getting eliminated before my Rangers are eliminated tonight.

To the Nucks fans who posted in here all season, my condolences. To the other 90% that showed up after the president's trophy was won, now you can fawk off *******s.

This.

You knew it was playoffs when gary69 started posting again.

[thegenerel]

i predict claude giroux will win the scoring title next year with 125 points

he would have to score 50 goals to do so.

[compan]

After going into OT in an elimination game, I was able to finalize my bandwagon list just incase. It goes as follows:

Blues
Kings
Preds


Let's go Bruins. PLEASE don't lose to the Caps.

do you think Vigneault will survive? seems like the players all gave up on him. i dunno how he can not be greatly disappoint.

[Lobo13]

Been a Sens fan since they were created, and stuck with them even though they could never get past the first round in the play offs. Things are looking good for them now.

vigneault should stay but players like mason raymond need to gtfoutta here. trade luongo for a crazy forward and maybe sign another defenceman.

[Vandamwtc]

Could honestly see luongo going to the leafs, chicago, or in a long shot worked into some kinda Nash trade to Columbus. All of those teams could use a veteran goaltender.

The only way i see someone taking on Luongo's contract is Tampa vs Lecavalier or something like that. Would make sense if you ask me.

not sure if chicago would take him after they beat us two years in a row, luongo was letting in 7 goals a game

if we got lacavalier then everyone better pepper their angus

[Shortofdaybreak]

Satisfying to watch it again.

Lakers, Clippers, and Kings all in the playoffs. Staples Center is going to be a busy fukkin place in the coming weeks.

Completely agree. Cory Schneider has proven he can compete at this level and be a starting goaltender. He started 28 games in the regular season, and won 20 of them. If my math is correct, and it is, that puts him on pace for a 50+ win season. He finished the year with a 1.86 GAA and .937 save % compared to Luongo's 2.41 GAA and .919 save %. In the playoffs Luongo started 2 games, lost both, and posted a 3.59 GAA and .891 save %. Schneider started 3 games, winning 1, with a 1.31 GAA and .960 save %. Vancouver needs to trade the dead weight that is Luongo, and invest in a more solid defense, and a few power forwards that bring a physical presence.

dem 50 points @ 7.7M.

[gary69]

dem 50 points @ 7.7M.

hes gotten over 100 before, so hopefully get can get 70+ with the canucks

[Mr. Manlet]

coyotes are 4-0 at chicago including 2 in the playoffs, can we make it 5?

[Iron121]

All board on the Yotes wagon. Lets make it 5!

Also A.V please go

[JM2412]

Evgeni Malkin:

2nd most even-strength points in a season since the lockout (75 ES points in 75 games), only scores 3 ES points (all assists) in 12 games when Sean Couturier was on the ice (6 reg. season games and 6 playoff games).

Unreal.

[SiNiStEr94]

fuk i hope so.

[Ivierson]

Lettuce be real lasagna, LA is going to lose to STL.

Let's also get real here, pretty much no one picked LA to win the series and especially not in 5 games.

[Ruffian]

BRB now rooting for St Louis, Ottawa, Philadelphia, and Florida.

ITT: Butthurt Canucks Fans.

[EastCoastNiner]

It's totally Vigneault's fault that the Canucks are soft, have little quality depth, have chokers like Kesler, and can't put the puck in the back of the net.

Stop looking for a single scapegoat, when the real problem is the players.

Vigneault cant coach. He doesn't know how to motivate the players. When they lose he acts like its no big deal. I think they players stopped playing for him

[IsoMaxx]

Now that the nux are gone, I suppose I will cheer for Philly and Nashville. I said Boston would win the cup, and I still believe that. They don't look good, but when their backs are against the wall (no homo), they always win. We'll see, should be interesting. Also, not sure if you guys realise or not, but Luongo has a no trade clasue, so he won't be going to Columbus or any other shi*ty team. Most likely Tampa Bay, Steve Yzerman loves him, and his family is in Florida.

And, the players can't win for ****. They show absolutely no emotion.

The Canucks are not built to be able to win in the playoffs, and that's on the players and the GM.

[Shortofdaybreak]

I'm pretty sure someone posted that the President's Trophy winners rarely make the SCF, and usually lose in the preliminary rounds. Something about keeping that level of play going in to the playoffs being incredibly tough, while everyone else gets that much more intense during the Playoffs.






I wonder who said that.
