i respect your opinion on that. i was pretty angry when he left too but it's all in the past for me now.

now i'm just remembering the good stuff. went to his first game here (but didn't everyone) and totally remember exactly where i was when he scored the OT winner versus calgary - stuck at red light, and when he scored the guys in the car beside me went just as nuts as i did. good times, good times.

Good times indeed. I can just picture two dudes go beserk alone in their respective cars like they have some Metal show blowing their minds!

Don't change the subject, you guys are going to get slaughtered tonight we ain't talking about luongo until the sacrifice happens.

Well right now I'm not too concerned with the out come. I'm more concerned about the draft. Maybe seeing what Reinhart can do as well.

Not to mention that they tried paying him in Canadian dollars instead of Us dollars. That's a massive kick in the naughty bits.

I agree with what most of you good folks have pointed out, as I said to Fosco, I have a hard time letting go of grudges.

If those principles were applied to my own life, everyone I know would hate me. People, specially young people, make mistakes, let it go. He was unquestionably the most talented player to ever play for the Canucks.

I'm sure your own life hasn't been mistake free.

He didn't help his cause when he told everyone he wanted out. Same as he didn't help it any this week

And Gillis didn't help him either by not trading him over 2 trade deadlines. It goes both ways.

Riddled with mistakes. I'm starting to learn, now.

No questioning his talent. Part of my frustration is not knowing just what the hell went on and I know we never will.

Agreed. We've never had a guy before or since that had that same ability to lift you out of your seat with excitement.

I think the problem first began with Quinn's boss at the time before Quinn became the GM and Pres. His name escapes me right now.... Mchammond?
- boonerbuck

Stan McCammon came later, he was Burke's boss, was responsible for not renewing, during the MaCaw era.

I believe that Quinn answered directly to Arthur Griffiths, the family that sold to the Seattle billionaires. I could be off by a few years though.

Couldn't agree more. Gillis did it horribly and so did Lu

Good thing the Flyers acquired Mason at the deadline

I installed the Bud Red Light 3 months ago for every time I scored with the G/F .

A Bud agent phoned me today and asked if I needed help intalling the light

Still paying for the 'beer chilling' comment are you?

I have always had to pay even before the ICEBOX comments

Glen Healy has to be the biggest knob in sports . I very seldome wish a bus would strike someone down ,but he really does not deserve to live.

Are you mixing different types of coolers?

Can't believe Luongo said he would void his contract if possible. He would be giving up millions of dollars just to be able to leave Vancouver? Luongo should shut his mouth and just focus on being a team player. The Canucks don't need his distractions right now.

Non starter. (as a convo and a goalie!)

I would love on day if Gillis got on the 1040 and called Healy the dumbest banana eater that didn't live in a mental institue
