Keep running those cap hits up Vancouver

At least they gave money to a quality d-man like Edler.

We pissed away money on Opooya.

Chris Campoli's agent tells me he's received interest from various teams, but not decision just yet.

Heres the full article on Luongo

Two games into the season and goalie Roberto Luongo is still a member of the Canucks.
As the rumor mill continues to swirl over a possible trade, Canucks GM Mike Gillis revealed to the Vancouver Sun there is a deal in place to ship Luongo out of town.





"We have a potential deal in place with one team that has to do something with another player that they have -- and it's not who anybody thinks it is -- and so we have to wait," Gillis told the paper.
Gillis explained that Luongo's no-trade clause and the recent lockout were factors in not moving the veteran goalie already,

Injuries to center Ryan Kesler and right wing David Booth might have played a factor in recent trade negotiations, but while the Canucks have received plenty of offers for Luongo, they usually include pieces the team is not interested in.

"We've been offered packages that don't fit what our plan is, what we need," Gillis said.

"Excess salary coming back with a [throw-in] player who can't play in our lineup. They say, 'OK, we'll do this, but you've got to take this.' Well, we're not taking it. We've had lots of proposals like that with good pieces that can help us but the other part doesn't help us, and oftentimes they have term attached to them, so we'd just be turning around and buying out a guy."

The Toronto Maple Leafs have been most linked to trading for Luongo, with the main pieces believed to be center Tyler Bozak and winger Nikolai Kulemin, while young forwards Nazem Kadri, Matt Frattin and Tyler Biggs have also been linked.

If the current deal for Luongo falls through, Gillis could keep his goaltending duo for the shortened season.

"We have a really good player here who brings a tremendous amount to the team, his professionalism, his willingness to work -- he's the kind of player that changes the culture on a team and shows players what it means to be an elite-level player," Gillis said

In 55 games with the Canucks last season, Luongo registered a .919 save percentage and 2.41 goals-against average.

How sad are you going to be when the Wings miss the playoffs this year?

 

[Capt. Serious]

Halak's two home starts, total of 27 SOG with 2 shut outs.

 

[DMelt36]

Nail Yakupov with a great goal and celly as he ties up the Kings/Oilers game at 1. Heading to OT now.

 

[DMelt36]

And Gagner wins it in OT. What a finish. May wanna check the highlights from that one, it was wild.

 

[icehogfan08]

That was such a great comeback by the Oilers. Best finish to a game I've seen

 

[Jntg4]

Saw on ESPN.com that Phoenix was already last again in average attendance, despite having 17,363 in the first game against us. Turns out, that in just their second home game, they drew just 8,355 against Columbus. :lol:

That's worse than fucking Chivas USA attendance.

 

[Jntg4]

Ah, someone already pointed that out haha

Got a chance to watch Justin Schultz on Thursday and Saturday night...he looks like the real deal. Great skater, nice vision, and a quick release from the point. Type of dman who shoots for the rebound more so than shooting to score. Very effective and nice to watch.

Have to think that Schultz and Tarasenko are going to be in the running for ROY honors if they continue their impressive starts.

 

[icehogfan08]

San Jose dominated the Canucks. The Sharks look really good

 

[Capt. Serious]

Sharks win again. Damn, they look good.
