Bieksa is a coward.....acts tough but when it comes down to it hes always looking for the refs to intervene
- OJSIMPSON32


Or he realized he's more important to the team on the ice than in the box.

I think if the game wasn't 0-0 it would have been a different situation.

But I don't expect you to take a grasp of that concept.

There are a number of players on the Canucks that are more important to the team in the penalty box, Bieksa is one of them.

so if it were up to you what would you give him as fair?
- IanEsplen


He definitely should earn more than Corey Crawford, so $3M per year... But, he needs to be a starter at that money... which ultimately means you trade Luongo (and that means give away Loungo for nothing - free up cap space)...

Otherwise, you trade Schneider and get you a first and a third pick at least...

I think Sedin is a rockstar just to come back from a hit like that. When he was reaching for the boards to get up it looked pretty bad.

Wasn't Hjalmarsson arbitration elegible and offered arbitration when he signed that offer sheet in San Jose?
- EKolb13

Nemo was arb-eligible. He "won" his case for $2.75M, the 'Hawks walked away. Hammer signed the OS for 4 years, $14M with the big fish. Ex-Hawk star Doug Wilson, GM of the big fish put the screws to the 'Hawks and forced them to decide: Hammer or Nemo. Once the 'Hawks matched the OS, someone else would have had to be moved in order to keep Nemo. Though I really think Nemo's agent over-estimated his clients' value. He eventually signed with the big fish for $750k less than his arb-award.

My point was he should have had his captains back instead of blaming him.

I didn't hear Julian come out last year and say Horton has to keep him head up and not watch his pass.

Maybe it's Daniel's fault too. He should know blindside elbows can come at anytime.

The Leafs are still a ways away from having the longest Stanley Cup drought.

I'm sorry, but has this Canucks team given us any reason to think otherwise?

LA has dominated Vancouver in just about every way this series. I just don't see anything changing, do you? If so, what and how?
