You thought Bieksa looked like a top pairing Dman when Hamhuis was playing with him this season.... oh my.

- boonerbuck

This is more than Bieksa my friend. This is an old declining team. Miller Sedins Burrows Bieksa You can find fault with all of them

Gotta wait for the TDL. I Don't know what the value is on Higgins & Hansen but technically they have been our best forwards.
What can you expect? 2nd rounders? Parlay them into players like Vey in the off-season.
Still doesn't get us defensemen.

How was the Hobbit?
Lack was good 1st goal was one he'd like to have back but played well. Guys are just squeezing the sticks that Ottawa loss seems like it put them in a spin

It was in 3d and I liked it. I spent half the time drooling over these hotties dressed like Elves... pointy ears and all. In fact, there were maybe 3 dozen people dressed up for the show. Almost an entire row of Dwarves...

Here we go....

Im not blaming it all on Bieksa. I just thought that was a strange comment from the poster because Bieksa hasnt looked like a top D man in a few seasons now,,,and even then.

But who are we to comment...according to Bieksa, we dont know enough to criticize him.

Didn't mean it to be an aggressive post . I read all your posts and respect your opinion. No critism was meant but I understand after I read my post again it looked like I was saying something negative

Cmon now you know I am never right and it is you that's always right. I wish I could only be anywhere near as perfect as you.

You are always right there is nothing ever wrong in Canuckville ,everything is roses and perfect .

Well we're still in 2nd place in the Pacific div. with games in hand on the teams behind us, just like 3 weeks ago.

And last year where were we then

Look at the numbers man . How many top lines have 22goals after 32 games?

Don't worry about convincing me, I don't run this team.

I am not sure anyone here does, including Nucker..

Dude you are a friend , but stop being so condescending . Add an opinion and stop looking down like everyone is an idiot.

This team has lots of problems and some good up coming talent. Take part in the discussions

PS I never want to be the guy that pisses you off, I could never go through losing a Fiancé or kid. Come enjoy our stupid discussions you are family.

I don't think you were being too aggressive. It just seems you link my name to Bieksa more than I do sometimes.

Is Booner blaming Bieksa for the low Canadian dollar again? God, he's the worst....

Well on the bright side Vey looked like he had lots of jump when moved up to the second line to replace Burrows?

I may be in the minority on this but after tonight I really wish Horvat was going to the WJHC.

4th line seems really stale right now, and Horvat had the lowest ice tonight. Shift Jensen into the lineup.

Missing 6 games to bring some excitement back to his game seems good by me.

Dreger just said Ottawa is leaning towards letting Lazar go to the WJHC.
- classic321

Totally agree.

Safari reloading issue? Mine has been acting up last week or so.
- 4ofaKind

Yes - POS almost went out the window last night

They are our best players but that has to change. 14 mil for 13 goals is crazy. ( sorry Lefty)

We go through the same thing every year, but the loyalty of this fan base makes it hard to make changes.

Sedins are mediocre, end of story numbers don't lie and we have our next three years invested in them, and a few others.

Torts said it last year on his exit this team needs a shakeup
- VANTEL

I totally agree Vantel, Daniel has to be better, HE can't continue to not score for the amount of money they're paying him. When the organization gave him that contract it was to score goals in my opinion, so he's gotta find a way to find the back of the net.

I don't however agree with your assessment of Henrik, he's NEVER been a goal scorer, he NEVER will be, he had a couple of peak years but his average is less than 20 a year, that's not gonna change!! Also, why do you always say he has no hits? He's been in the league 14 (frank)in years and he's never been a hitter, why are you expecting him to suddenly be...baffles me???

They had plenty of chances to win that game last night, but they couldn't finish, that's a problem that I don't see going away any time soon. But, I don't see any quick fixes or any Knight in shinning armour coming to rescue the troops here.

Henrik after two periods 0 shots 0 hits . I didn't check after the third
- VANTEL

0 hits? Who cares how many hits Henrik has???

FWIW
Pratt on 1040 was just citing Dreger saying Benning is in talks with Boston on moving Higgins or Burrows with Krug coming back this way

And last year where were we then

Look at the numbers man . How many top lines have 22goals after 32 games?
- VANTEL

You're never as good as you think you are when you're winning and you're never as bad as you think you are when you're losing.

This team is somewhere in between the team that lit it up at the start of the year and the one that we've seen for the past 6 games or so.

TANEV off the top of my head. Boychuck would be better , Marc Staal. Rangers will be in big trouble next year . They have 23 mil in cap room and have 11 players signed.

They will have UFAs lis Marty StL. Zuccarello MarcStall and need to re-sign Haggelin Stephan and a couple others.

maybe Carolina will not be interested in signing the 4 th Staal seing there were rumors they were trying to trade Eric
- VANTEL

They aren't trying to trade Eric.

Marc Staal will sign in Raleigh for 6 or 7 years at $6 mill per.

Eric will sign for the same dollar figure when his current contract is up.

Then you have the three Staals making the same amount all locked up long term.

It was a weak goal Lack let in... but I don't the think the loss can be pinned on him when we don't score.

Nobody driving to the net. Not sure the # of hits, weren't a lot.

Just heard on tsn talk radio, second hand, Dreger is saying Canucks are talking with the Bruins re Torey Krug and Higgins or Burrows... don't see it.

- hillbillydeluxe

I don't see how that happens. Cap hit for Krug is 1.4 and Boston has only 800k in space. No way they can take on the cap of either Burr or Higgins unless there is a cap dump involved or another team is involved. Dreager is a poop hole and needs to stop his Ekesk kind of rumors.
