Canucks!!!!!!!

JAGR is only 27 or 28 yrs old, and he is on pace to be 2nd best in NHL record for points behind who else, Gretzky. Take away Jaromir from NY and they are nothing....with Messier they suck---> he should retire

[Antenna_Boy]

They say that the REAL SEASON doesnt start until the playoffs start...**cough** **cough** It would make sense to say that if canucks give up early leads almost every game day in day out and have to fight form behind, the underdogs will feast on this in the playoffs...IN THAT CASE....would it make sense that this is the year that an underdog team such as Tampa Bay, Nashville, or maybe even Minnisota win the cup???

the canucks are good, but not that good. Standing wise sure, but they are not an elite team yet. U can beat the best, but u cant lose to the worst. In the end, the better ur goalie, the better the team. But the better the offense, makes the lack thereof for defense. We need JAGR!!!!!

ummm have u seend the points or defence is putting up thois year????? where have u been?

[Antenna_Boy]

dun forget the last defenseman is the NETMINDER!!!! ^

FUCK your dumb.
first of all jagr is 32. 14th year in the league with 1289pts.
gretzky played 20 years. with 2857.

THAT means jagr is 1568pts BEHIND GRETZ. which means jagr needs to average over 100pts FOR THE NEXT 15 YEARS to even come close to the GREAT ONE. i don't think jagr will play until he's 47.

btw: even with the mighty jagr the rangers are around .500 with him.

[Antenna_Boy]

karl, ur right, yes he is 32, and yet, i forgot that when i said he was on pace for 2nd, he was with washington, a much better team than NY. My appologies. I still say a .500 team sucks. if jagr was here, no worries
with the likes of naslund and bert, i think he will do just fine :)

[Hot Karl]

did you know we have nazzy and bertuzzi for the price of jagr? why would we want an underachieving overpaid baby on this team? jagr=bust. look in ny. look in washington.

btw: jagr was NEVER on pace to catch gretzky. you need to start off with 50 goal seasons, 100pt+ seasons. oh yea and you need to sprinkle in 4 200pt seasons. lemieux had a chance once upon a time. hell it's not like gretzky played 20 full seasons.

u discriminate a good player. those two teams suck so i cannot compare
jagr + straka+lang = killer combo

you don't know what your talking about. that's a mighty fine line, but not that good. it's NOWHERE close to ever catching gretzky. even if they played their whole careers together. btw: lang's alright, but just cuz he's up there THIS YEAR in scoring does not a Gretzky make.

[Antenna_Boy]

i said he would be SECOND TO HIM, open ur eyes retard!!!

[Antenna_Boy]

Gretz will always be the best, no question of a doubt

OPEN YOUR EYES RETARD. i've proved you wrong so many times already. and if you wanna play semantics, i never said he'd surpass gretzky now did i?

[Antenna_Boy]

all i said is that we could use a lil jagr, i dun care, cuz we wont win the cup unless our offense is better...look at detroit and colorado...why are they playing better than us this year????

[Hot Karl]

^you mean well, but jagr is a shadow of his former self. and it's silly to even think the canucks would even LOOK at a 11mill contract.

[Antenna_Boy]

dun forget, sallery caps are around the corner mwuahahahaha :sh4n3:

[NeVeRLooKBacK]

so how bout them yankees?

Detroit is barely doing any better than us, we are only seperated between detroit by one win.

As for colorado well they have a stacked team but most important is their goltending has been superb, with aebischer and now suave playing so well its no wonder they havn't lost a regulation win in so long

so it all boils down to hot goaltending

[Antenna_Boy]

in that case **remembers the title "Global Domination by the Dominator"*** now Hasek was the shit!!! Canucks should play Hedberg more often.

[NeVeRLooKBacK]

you see I think is all boils down to us scoring more goals than the other team before the 3rd period is over

[Antenna_Boy]

so u dont care how many goals are scored against us rather we score more goals than the opponents?!? DUDE, if that were the case and we won 9-7 over some team, the goalies still get the butt end of the stick...what a shitty perfomance GOALIE!
:c-tard:

[NeVeRLooKBacK]

a win is a win
and thats all that matters

The season doesn't matter until the playoffs and that is the bottom line. There are only a few teams that Vancouver should worry about in there division when the playoff comes around. San Jose & Calgary and to a lesser extent Minnesota. Why? San Jose has owned Vancouver so far and there forwards are amazing. Only shaky thing is San Jose's goalie and we'll see if he buckles during the playoffs.

Vancouver can win in Calgary but are horrible at home. Historically Vancover has played poorly against Calgary. However back to the goalie situation again. Calgary's goalie is untested during the playoffs.

The Wild play the neutral zone trap game which is boring as fuck. Minnesota know how to protect a lead and it shows from last year. However, Vancouver this year has played a lot more defensive game and Minnesota will be hard pressed to get a goal.

For the 'Canucks to advance this year the following must happen:

-continue there defensive style game
-hit with the bodies asap and set the tone like the do against Colorodo, Detroit and St. Louis. Teams like Calgary, San Jose & the Wild can't handle this aggresive style.
-more scoring would be great, but realistickly goals aren't supposed to happen a lot in the playoffs

The fans need to lay off cloutier because its not all dan's fault for the canucks woes. With the Sedin's playing so well lately maybe they don't really need another 2nd liner. IMO they might need a winger for that line. We'll see what Burke has. Also, the Canucks must resign Brian Burke because w/o him Vancouver would be nothing.
