Wow, first post Iv seen in awhile in which someone literally gets everything wrong.

You call that Kopitar-Burrows incident a fight?

- Whiskey-Tango


Kopitar and Burrows each received five for fighting.

Thanks. I'll be here all day. It's a viscous cycle. Every other comment is about the Canucks diving and whining from trolls. If you have some better responses PM them to me and I'll be happy to copy and paste them.

I just love all the comments about the whining and diving. Never gets old around here.

That must have been the shortest fight in history because I didn't even see it?

Pretty sure all RFA's that are over 22-23ish are.

I just can't see how Schneider would stand a chance in arbitration.

" Mr. arbitrator, we have offered our back up goalie more money then 2 of the 3 Vezina finalists and he said no. Can you please decide how to rule on this?

- IanEsplen


I looked it up and it says, while the player can ask for arbitration every year, a team can do it only once, if a player has played in the league for 4 years.

Schneider has, although in 09-10 he played only 2 games...

I do agree that arbitrator will look at Howard contract. Howard signed 2y deal (his salary was not determined by an arbitrator).

But, Quick's contract was signed in Oct 2009 and was his 1st after Entry Level Contract. Schneider had one contract after ELC... Comparison is not the same to Quick...

So who is the acting coach? The flopping and diving, although rampant, is amateur stuff.

- Section106



The acting coach is vin diesel. Worst actor in hollywood, so it all makes sense.

You can't argue that Burrows and Kesler need to man up??? Fighting Kopitar? Seriously?

Canucks fans deserve this for being cocky and trolling other teams for the past couple of years. Couldnt be happier to see them going through this
- TheFactor


I totally agree. Couldn't be happier as well. There's no other team and fan-base that I dislike more than the Canucks. Hopefully their antics (diving) will cease to exist in the coming years because it is truly a disgrace to this wonderful sport.

Gillis should be the first GM in NHL history to fire a coach mid playoffs.
Replace AV before Wed. if it works he's a genius, if not he can say the results were inevitable. and he would have fired AV anyway.

Harder decision is who do you start in goal?
Lou or Schnieder ?

Hjalmarsson got a huge offer sheet too and Chicago had to match it. I can't remember if it was SJ who signed him to it though.
- JVince117


Correct, on both counts. $3.5/y for 4. After, 1.5y in teh NHL... This is why I am thinking that Schneider could get an offer sheet.

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.

- IanEsplen



hmmmm, 2 dirty hits compared to one clean one, (and the Daniel hit was one of the dirtiest hits I've seen since Bertuzzi)
no wonder everyone hates vancouver.
