Well I wouldn't brag about exactly... but it still doesn't change the fact that Van has been way way way more successful the past decade than the leafs have. Cup or not.. the success is there... there are still accolades that have been won.

Its like fooling around with a girl.... we may not have had sex... but I still got to cum.

And you will still be sniffing my finger because you havent even seen a girl naked in those 8 years.

Canucks need to win now, they needed to make the playoffs for the experience 6 years ago, they need to win now, our dog may indeed have some fleas but yours just has a different kind of fleas......

They don't teach this in schools you know only on HB

Not only do you want him, but you figure you should get to dump all your bad contracts in the deal and give up nothing of significance. Like a big magic eraser for all your problems. Good luck with that.

Of course most (non tank) Leaf fans would love to have him for a few years. He would definitely get them into the play-offs. The contract is a big problem tho and the Leafscarent likely to make a real run while Lu is on top of his game.

So ---- BB might be interested but certainly won't pay much. And Gillis really doesn't have a lot of options. Keeping him and sitting him will only reduce his valuevand the organization has made it clear tha CS is their guy. I really doubt his signs if he doesnt like the way this gets workedout.

I know it would burn you guys to see Lu go to toronto for not much in return but it is a real possibility. Upside though is that you'd get to see him every Saturday night

Please refer to the COC.
- golfingsince

that has so many inuendo's in it, I would have loved to be in the room with the guy/gal that created forum COC, did it really need to be point formed like that so it can be used as as an unpunishable last word? COL code of lounge? anything else....lol

anyways, nice last needle on the guy...

tried it 3 years ago, same result, it could be more like a super tick.....lol

edit: wtf is chewing lice? WTF does it chew...........so many seinfeld skits coming to mind.

Neither team has won the cup since expansion

You have to decide if you are happy with what your team has done lately then it doesn't matter what the other think. I have been somewhat happy with our brand of Hockey. I don't like the diving and yapping but besides that I am happy even sans coupe.

The beauty of Lou's term is his ability to help lower level teams reach the cap floor. After the Leafs are done with his services, his real salary will drop significantly allowing another team to take on the remainder of his contract.

All this is really is:

"We are going to get this and that! No your going to get this and thats it!"

Leaf Fans are undervaluing him, while Nucks fans are overvaluing him.

We have our opinion, you guys have yours

No use explaining they think it is 10 years .

I just figure it's best to remind him of a Code of conduct before the thread deteriorates into a name calling school yard fight. The fact that he made reference to my handle, while ignoring my own is also quite funny.

Too late

No use explaining they are Leaf fans .
- VANTEL

Agreed.

Yeah so we were in the finals and lost in game 7 thats a pretty huge accomplishment. I'd rather be remeber for that the 28 overall.

What I'm torn about if if your team is so awesome and elite...why are you so concerned about highlighting the patheticness of one of the leagues worst teams?

There are always potential outs. He might retire, bury him, trade him to a team that needs to get to the floor. No GM will pay full value for that kind of contract though. Combination of Lu making it known he wants out, his NTC and rumored short list of teams and CS's RFA status make the task of doing a deal even tougher.

If it's TO it won't be for much and the other teams rumored to be on his list wouldn't be much better.

The fact that it's TO burns a lot of the "CBC is a big eastern conspiracy" crowd that hangs out in here.

There are actual out clauses later in his deal.......

- golfingsince

That's called trolling, and it's not really respected. It's kind of sad that that's your hobby though,

- golfingsince

Which aren't that helpful to begin with and, according to Capgeek, may not survive a trade. Still certainly not a full value trade.

- MindFr3eak

yeah, he sure told me. I feel so much remorse for treading over the lines of the coc to address one the many typical leaf=hating trolls around here.

... especially one who expects that we connect his name with his avatard, but can't understand there is a connection between my name and my "team"

Yeah, he sure got me. I am humbled.

Oh yeah, sure have pride in your team 100% that's why we choose sides so to speak.

OBV leaf fans, and i think i can say 95% of leaf fans would like a playoff berth as the kids need that atmosphere/pressure experience to build on and move forward.

What I mean for you is when I say another type of dog with fleas is yours are a little harder, so close yet so far away, your mentality is pretty close to "we gotta win a cup here now" and your frustration level should be as high as ours as the expectation the last couple years to us would be close to yours as we should win the cup.

- golfingsince

Do you Canucks fans ever have any NEW arguements as to why that contract is not a huge albatross for other teams to take on?

You do realize that ALL of your arguements are based on what you think *might* happen in the future, when the reality of the contract is what you are committed to, not what is *maybe*.

There are actual out clauses later in his deal.......

Really??? since they are not legal in the CBA, I'll assume this is hyperbole?

This is how the off season works to fill the void of the draft then preseason etc....LOLZ
