Leafs have never made it to stanley cup finals since 1966, vancouver has been there 3 times just saying.

Considering that the Leafs win the cup in 1967, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that your statement is false.

Speak for yourself...I'm taking Hammer all day.
- andru2797


Bieksa plays with Snarl that Hawks lack on the back end. Hammer is a turnover machine and if we got rid of him we could of still had buff or Niemi. So yea I would pack Hammers bag for Bieksa

No. Bad idea.

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?

- As_I_See_It


Ummm...VAN has outshot LA 2:1 the last 2 games. A more accurate statement would be: Quick and Brown have dominated the Canucks in every way in this series.

Last I checked Schneider doesn't have a ring and he isn't considered the #1

He'll get fair market value for a back up. I just can't think of any reason he could argue for more then 2.5 mil per.

Look around, unless you have put your time in as a #1 you aren't getting paid

- IanEsplen



When the pricetag for another team to acquire him starts at a First Rounder+Top Prospect to even get in on the conversation, how could you undervalue his worth come contract time? Schneider is going to be one of the top goalies in this league and and should be looking at $3.5 to start. Just my two cents, not a bad problem to have that's for sure.

- nickmo2699


Hammer does a lot of the gruntwork that goes unnoticed and is under-appreciated by most fans like blocking shots, throwing big hits at the right time (See PHO series), killing penalties...he doesn't care about individual accolades or personal awards. He's there to help the team win. I wouldn't trade a guy like that for perceived "snarl".

Now now, give credit where credit is due...Richards and Brown have outplayed Kesler and Hank in all 3 zones.

Last night was all quick and LA's PK. That's it. Vancouver carried the play for most of the game otherwise.

It is clear quick was the reason they won, just because brown got a lucky rebound does not mean he is the one who won the game for them

The winning team doesn't always dominate...that's exactly my point. LA has NOT dominated Vancouver other than in the win column...agree that's where it matters though.
