Every fanbase has their idiots, just seems like Toronto is infested with them simply because the hockey world is infested with Toronto fans. If there were more than 2 Minny fans here, we'd be called idiots too... oh wait, I already am

Hey Nucks fans, the Leafs have been talking about the Nucks in their thread for the last page.
What an insecure bunch.

Nah, they are literally hiding... like Trolls.

BUT ---

Holy Crap --- actual colour home video super 8 of the Leafs 1967 win. I didn't think this file existed. I am shocked not to see it more often.

I hate to admit it, but I can no longer say there is no colour footage of the 1967 win

Team is the NYI: Nedo + Nabokov + Reasoner for Luongo

Gillis is referring to DiPietro, who the NYI have to then figure out what to do with cause adding Lou won't make him too happy...

I don't see the issue with Dipietro, he'll be healthy just often enough to earn a spot start now and then.

Nino would be nice.

How about: Luongo + Ballard + Rodin/2nd for Nabokov, Nino and Visnovsky?

Issue is keeping his 4.5mil salary and ego on the team long term...not with his ability to be a backup goalie...I think the team made some sort of promise to him and needs to break it. Just a thought.

Apparently he's the key to the Luongo trade.

Maybe Gillis will ask Aquilini to assist Wang in buying DiPietro out.

That could work too:

Luongo + Raymond <-> Nedo + Nabokov + Reasoner + Visnovsky (if he agrees to report to VAN)

Done! I think Gillis would push for Bailey over Reasoner though(Yes, I'm greedy).

Meh, it was a joke. The way for the Islanders to deal with Dipietro is to either buy him out directly or package him in a deal with some prospects to a team in a better financial situation. If Lou does go to NYI and they have to take Dipietro back then the price in terms of talent going to Vancouver increases substantially.

That's exactly the problem. VAN won't take DiPietro, and the Isles don't want 2 goalies on nutty contracts. It is impossible to see any other team trading for DiPietro, his contract is crap. Isles would have to buy him out, and I bet Wang is utterly against it as he loses all the cash for nothing...it would be interesting to see Luongo make his way back to the NYI though!

lol, there is no way the isles can, or will want to, make it that sweet. They would more likely just keep him on in that case and hope he stays relatively healthy and plays some top notch hockey.

Openly makes fun of and chastises other teams Stanley cup wins as laughable due to serious outdatedness...

Literally doesn't have a Stanley cup win in history of sport...

Where is that fat kid on Facebook with the epic pose to accompany it when you need him?

I like you.

You're not immature or d-baggish to pretend to like these goofs who obviously don't have a clue about much.. You're a realist.

High five, friend.

I legitimately don't think Lou is worth entirely more than dipietro in that situation. Depends on the islanders scenario. Isn't luongo actually signed longer? I am enjoying a situation where its actually finally debateable where luongos contract is actually the worst.

That's pretty much the deal that needs to be found. Luongo is clearly the Better goaltender... Luongo + Raymond for dipietro + neidereiter is a deal. Luongo goes somewhere and saves face.. Canucks was their hands and somehow get a great young player out of it.

It's one of those deals. Vancouver doesn't get poop from luongo unless there's somehow some sidestepping, and Vancouver eating some salary.
