Zanetti Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 They are tanking the season in the race for John Tavares and having a full scale rebuild, or at least that is their intention. Draft picks is what they're after. They better be praying he isn't another Steve Stamkos then. Alright, that's maybe unfair, but he's hardly set the NHL on fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Lombardi had played 50 for us this season, scored 9 and got 21 assists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tavares has broken all of Gretzky's junior scoring records, he'll be better than Crosby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle* Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 They better be praying he isn't another Steve Stamkos then. Alright, that's maybe unfair, but he's hardly set the NHL on fire. Stamkos isn't a bust yet. He is way too young and undersized for the NHL. The ridiculous hype that surrounded him forced him onto the ice in Tampa Bay. Even though Melrose is a egotistical mental case, he had the right idea with Stamkos by giving him fourth line minutes because Tampa Bay HAD to have him on the roster for some reason. Tavares has broken all of Gretzky's junior scoring records, he'll be better than Crosby. Wait... What? OHL? Bob Murray did a fantastic job with the Ducks over the trade deadline. We shed a lot of cap room, players who weren't going to resign here, and are younger and faster now. And by keeping Pronger, we at least have a small chance at the playoffs this year. Even though we would not be favoured as cup contenders, it would give a lot of experience to our younger players. Tomorrow's game with the Stars is going to rock. Tons of new faces in Anaheim. Bobby Ryan will be wearing the #9. An important number that most fans here spit at because of a certain someone and their betrayal of Anaheim. Hopefully Ryan creates a better history wearing it. Can't wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Have to, although I was a bit sceptical initially, firing Therrien seems to have done the world of good. Things are really looking up now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zanetti Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Shootout win in Washington tonight completes a five game perfect road trip for the Penguins, fantastic. That was excellent, Fleury was superb tonight. We are going to make the playoffs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Beat San Jose at the weekend, significant given we've not beaten them in 2 years but I'm not going to read too much into it given the Sharks' absentees and recent form. Still, if Calgary and Chicago can keep up with results like last night we might just have a shot at improving upon our 5th in the West, best form team in the West and 2nd only to the Pens in the NHL over the last 10. Go Canucks Go! B) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 7 wins in a row, does it get much better? I'd be willing to bet that we still win the Atlantic Division... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virtual Insanity Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 How much? You don't have a hope in hell of winning the Atlantic, sorry You're 11 behind NJ and they have 2 in hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 First win for the Flames last night in four I think Beat Detroit 6-5 in a SO. Jokinen is on fire! (no pun intended ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Yay. The Sharks, or more to the point, Nabakov, beat the Ducks by one goal to zip. Moen scores again, looks like a decent pick up. Shelley and that guy with the moustache had a dull fight again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelley and that guy with the moustache had a dull fight again. Excuse me? You better respect the stache. Also, Moen is a defensive forward. His six goals this year is almost his cap. And that goal was a lucky bounce. His most valuable asset is that he always fought really hard for pucks and doesn't back down against anyone. He recently lost that a bit, but maybe the trade (or playing for a proper fucking team ) will awaken his spirit. Huskins, though... Pretty useless. (He has good speed and can take the puck into the offensive zone well, and he also has a hell of a shot) It was so Nabakov last night. Ducks were inches away about five times in the third. Verrrrrrrryyyyyyy frustrating to watch. One of those games that my head was just killing me afterwards, because they hadn't really played that bad. I know San Jose are the better team, but I think we could have at the very least pulled a point from that game. No one is a freaking scoring threat right now. And I hate our coach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) So Kyle, you were right when you said Pittsburgh got the better of the Kunitz - Whitney trade it seems, hat trick last night (okay, one of the goals was taken off him and he insists he didn't deserve it...) and in all honesty he has just been ridiculously good.

Virtual Insanity Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Red Wings and Sharks become the first teams to confirm their playoff place and the Caucks are starting to ramp up the pressure on the two teams above us, won 9 straight at home but a tough road trip should stop us catching Calgary, but overtaking Chicago would be a big bonus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking. Chris Kunitz puts up 12 points in 10 games under a system on play that actually works in today's NHL. Ugh. Winds me the f**k up. Carlyle is absolutely senile. I still hope Whitney becomes an elite NHL defenseman, though. While Kunitz is thriving right now, he is very streaky, and getting a point per game out of him is pretty much his peak. I haven't seen him play for Pittsburgh, though. At home for the game tonight. Absolutely exhausted, too. Ducks should put me to sleep by the second. Edit: Nevermind. Bloody great game.
