Meltdown Tracker Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 The thought of the Canucks acquiring either Weber or Parise has me drooling. If we get either one by the deadline, I think we take the West/Presidents trophy. I think Weber has a chance cause Nashville probably won't spend to the cap (internal budget) and Weber will want to go to a contender that maxes out the cap. Plus he's a BC boy and said he really enjoyed playing at home for the Olympics. Definitely a top dman in the league, total beast. Parise has a small chance because he hasn't negotiated contracts with Lou yet, and had great chemistry with Kesler in the Olympics, and Gillis loves the American players lol.

Do you think Gillis will make moves for either of them? I can't see him giving away any of our prospects, and I really hope we hold onto Schnieds. The fact that we have a goalie that will back up Lou when he needs it, with full confidence from both the coaches as well as the players (including Lou) makes me really want them to offer Schnieds a juicy contract. Booth and Ballard are taking so much of our fucking cap space its unreal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booth and Ballard are taking so much of our fucking cap space its unreal. As much as I love Schneids, I think we're committed to Luongo and his contract. Look at what Kovalchuk got at the deadline (Oduya, Cormier, Bergfors, 1st - I think). Oduya is a depth dman, Cormier is a decent (but not great) prospect, Bergfors got waived and no one claimed him (useless), and a low 1st round pick. I think Schneids and a 1st and maybe a decent prospect (Schroeder/Rodin) would get a deal done for Parise. New Jersey also needs a goalie for the future (Both Brodeur and Hedberg are aging and their best days are behind them, they would love a young goalie llike Schneider). Weber is a RFA so he's a bit more valuable, so I guess we'd have to add a bit more. One (if not both) of these players won't be on their respected teams next season IMO. I'd be surprised if Schneids isn't traded before the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mau5 Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Great hockey today, Russia and Czech go to OT, penalty shot with 20 seconds in the winter classic, and shoot out in SJ with Canucks. Handzus is fucking unbelievable in shootouts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSandt Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Awesome rivalry games on tonight: FIN-SWE RUS-CAN I'd much rather face the Russians in the finals but I don't think we can get past the Swedes, especially not after yesterday's fiasco which we only barely deserved to win.

MSandt Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 These hooligans should stick to soccer: Three men are being sought by Philadelphia police for a brutal beating caught on videotape following Monday's NHL Winter Classic game. The assault, which took place at 7:15 p.m. outside of Geno's Steaks at 9th Street and Passyunk Avenue, left two men injured, one of them seriously. In a 2-minute video posted on the Philadelphia Police Department's YouTube page, an unidentified man wearing a No. 28 Claude Giroux Flyers jersey can be seen removing his coat before punching another man who was wearing a Rangers jersey. The victim, who has been identified in reports as Neal Auricchio, a New Jersey police officer and former Marine who served in Iraq, is then punched and kicked by three men while on the ground. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/01/05/three-sought-in-philadelphia-beating-after-hockey-game/?test=latestnews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean. Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Unacceptable. Fuck sake, leave the hooliganism to the football firms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted January 5, 2012 Report Share Posted January 5, 2012 Was this a fight or did the guy just sucker punch him? I would expect a former cop and marine to be better trained if its the former (so I assume its the latter). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capsov Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Whos ready for Russia v Sweden tonight. I think Russian wins 4-3. Kuznetsov gets atleast one. Also do you think Ovi is back for real or just a short term thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau5 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I can;t watch I'm at work I hope Russia wins though. Also, of course it's hard to say if Ovi is back but considering his career and his talent, I'd say it's more likely his longer-than-usual slump was more of a short term thing than him being a consistent ppg player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltdown Tracker Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Stoked to watch the last episode of 24/7 tonight, Giroux has become one of my favourite players. So much going on in the hockey world right now. World Juniors just finished, 24/7, SCF rematch this Saturday, the trade deadline coming up in February, Anaheim blowing their season and are most likely selling, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
