Lu and Nash almost sure trades this summer... Interesting, theres also a good chance Stastny gets traded and Suter/Parise saga plus Weber could be gone...Along with Jordan Staal and anyone on the Sharks could be gone, its gonna get intersting...

Nashville losing there cornerstones is far from probable at this point imo.

Just beat detroit and Makin a run in the playoffs. got tending, defence, added a star scorer along with some other valuable pieces.
They're Showing suter et al, they are commited to winning.

Unless those players wanted out regardless, i think the attitude has changed in nashville.

I think he made the decison while he sat on the bench the last 3 playoff games. Or maybe the week before when the fans booed him out the arena.

He probably laughed inside when they lost 2 of the last 3 as well.

Stolls shot in OT was a thing of beauty.
But if it was lu in net, nuck fans would be screaming that hes a sieve.

Couldn't agree more. Losing two of the last 3 games was as much Schneider's fault as losing the first 2 was Luongo's.

No poop, I got tired of hearing other Nuck fans bagging on Luongo in the Canucks threads.....he's still and elite goalie and we were fortunate to have him....I hope he wins a cup somewhere to shut his naysayers up.......

The parade through the streets of Quebec City would be great if Phoenix won.

With 2 great teams like that battling it out in the Finals, everyone would be a winner.

Ek you should refresh Twitter more often. This was already a trending topic

Luongo is a great goalie and will always give you the same splits. (<2.5 gaa and >.920svp) which is outstandings for any team that gets him

Luongo has been treated pretty horribly from the Canucks IMO

Think about it. The Canucks give him a contract for life, annoint him as their franchise player, then 2 years ago he is their captain, actual captain with the C. then gets stripped, brings them to cup finals, where his team scores what 8 goals in 7 games????

Then the crowd annoints Schneider as their savior and he really didn't have a fighting chance

Be interesting to see what happens in Vancouver if Schneids doesn't pan out.

Way to break this rumour Eklund!! Here's another hot tip that is of course "off the record from somebody REALLY high up"..... sometime, over the next two years.... it will rain at LEAST one day in Vancouver!!!

OMFG RUN WITH IT DUDE!! THEN YOU CAN SAY "YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST FOLKS... SEE HOW AWESOME I AM!!??!!"

This deserves a category all of it's own... I now introduce for the first time ever....

Seattle, Markham, Kansas City will all get teams before Quebec City. Bettman has told QC officials at every step of the area planning not to hold their breath, I doubt his tune has changed. He'll buy just enough time for Seattle to get their poop together. That move will have the support of the entire Western Conference, and even more so if its NJ that moves.

Have they figured out how each conference champion will be reseeded yet?

Pretty cool idea i think, But a dallas v colorado final for example, could be pretty bad for ratings. (no eastern team)

Does Tampa have the money to pay him so much until he's 40? (it dops-off after this). Sure, it might seem to make sense for Luongo, but does it for a team generating very small revenues and already stuck with the horrible Lecavalier contract?

I dont think the million or 2 here or there really makes that much of a difference.
At the end theyd still have an elite goalie for peanuts if u wanna look at it that way.

Its all about the cap hit.

Off to Tampa he goes!
- Juice


Too funny people keep saying 'Off to Tampa.' For a split second I thought about that too, then actually put some thought into it, which is very lacking throughout this site.

Do you people not realize he's getting $6.7 mill for the next 6 seasons?? How in the world is Tampa going to afford that? Only chance he goes to Tampa is if Vinny is going the other way. You think Van wants Vinny as their 3rd line center?
