Luongo is a better goalie with a better cap hit. No thanks.
- dshiddy


better cap hit yes. there are so many teams with massive goalie cap hits higher.
better goalie no. i think henrik wins more games on his own but he hasn't taken his team to the finals.

Lu's issue is not his cap hit or his play. It's the last few years of the contract.

He's gonna be an animal this year. Nobody can question his competiveness and passion for the sport. Any player or coach will tell you the same thing. Although it was a bonehead decision, he was named captain for a reason. The way he handled himself this past year is a new level of maturity and I think he's more likeable because of it.

People will say what they want but lets wait for the season and judge him on his play.

Luongo killed a team in that game.
But we all know how bad the bruins make teams look in game 7. Now they spot teams leads before embarrassing them

Nah, dont be an idiot.

Hart goes to Kessel

Vezina to Reimer and Lupul (tied)

Jack Adams to Clarkson

The rest seems pretty close. Though I think Ron Maclean might win the Maurice Richard award, if Gardner doesn't.

So let me get this stright. The Leafs made the Post-Season 1 time in the last 5 years, so now they are boss? Oh and also blew a lead and took an early exit. So I guess leafs fans are full of them selfs.

This was also a Vancouver blog homie. Not everything has to do with the leafs.

I see Ducks/ Pens going for Hank.

You mean 1 time in 8 years, get the facts straight!

They've sucked a lot longer than five years. (47)

Leafs have a higher % of cup winning seasons

The fact is the leafs are on the rise. Van is on the fall.

Ian, you are an amazing talent, you can pull in people and trolls even on the last holiday of the summer, then again maybe they just don't have lives. I hope everyone had a good labour day, or as I call it "9 days to training camp day".

Van doesn't have the luxury of not playing eastern conference this year. I remember the last time they played an eastern team.

Nucks hit the links pretty early this year..I believe they could have teed off on may 8th. They got an extra week of practice in than the leafs, who actually managed to win a few games in the playoffs

Said like a fan whose team finally made the playoffs for the first time in the salary cap era.

The CFL has 33% more teams than the NHL had when the Leafs won Cups. A Grey Cup is harder to win than the Cups the Leafs won. So yeah, keep falling back to ol' faithful.
