We're all cool with that. We love us some (Plymouth Whaler just last year) Tyler Seguin!

Canuckleheads, the Stanley Cup will not be yours.

Despite making the Finals, the Canucks are the worst run franchise in the NHL.
In hockey, you need to draft to build a team, its as simple as that.
The Canucks are not built on drafted players.
No team in the NHL has picked up more free agents than the Canucks.
Picking up a free agent includes picking up a player that is in the later part of his career.
Usually it involves a player that was let go due his value on the ice being lesser than the amount of money that he is due.
In other words overpaid.
Last year, the Chicago Blackhawks won the cup, based on key players such as 22 year old Toews and 21 year old Kane.
The year before it was the Penguins, with its key players like Fluery 24 years old, Malkin 22 years old, Crosby 21, and Staal 19 years old.
Even the ducks, despite their veteran defenders, held key drafted players like Getzlaf 22 years old, Perry 22 years old, and Bobby Ryan at 20 years old.
The Canucks key players are all over 30, therefore their trade value is diminishing each day that passes as they head towards retirement.
Their youngest player of any value is turning 27 Kesler.
The rest of the team is basically compiled of old, overpaid free agent pick ups.
Now, i'm not against picking up 1 or maybe even 2 free agents in a year where you're making a legitimate claim at winning the stanley cup, but you can't do that year after year after year.
All these teams that win the cup, end up trading away their older players ASAP, trading them for draft picks and/or young prospects.
The Canucks have done nothing of that sort, resulting in the Canucks being at this present time, in the worst predicament of ALL NHL teams.
The Vancouver Canucks are the perfect example of how not to run a franchise.
This kind of management cannot be rewarded with a cup.
After the Canucks fail to win this cup, they will go down as the wrost NHL franchise in the history of the NHL.
No team has won less Stanley cups than the Canucks, and no team presently in the NHL has a dimmer future than the Canucks.

The solution?
Trade Luongo, the Sedin's and Kessler, for draft picks and young prospects, and perhaps they'll have a competetive team again in 6-7 years from now.
If they don't.....well, we'll witness a weakness that has never been seen before.

... and yet they are in the finals. I don't think they'll beat Boston who is still seeking retribution from last years dismal exit.

monster · 06-06-2011, 08:43 PM

oh YEAH.

monster · 06-06-2011, 10:09 PM

FUCK YEAH

W.HI.P · 06-06-2011, 10:49 PM

Boston 8-1 Canucks

Luongo looks like he did last year and the year before in the play-offs.
He's a large thug, who is everything but clutch,
He's a bum.
Gooooo Bruins!

classicman · 06-07-2011, 01:30 PM

Dunno how to judge this one now. The Canucks may have pissed of the Bruins enough ... or the Bruins may have shot their load last night...
I am loving watching the series though.. Should I root for the American team with Canadian players or the Canadian team with American players...
I think I'll just grab some

and enjoy the games.

monster · 06-08-2011, 10:05 PM

*Grins* As a goalie mom, gotta love a shut-out

W.HI.P · 06-09-2011, 12:53 AM

The Bruins have completely outplayed the Canucks in these Stanley cup finals.
Boston has outscored Vancouver 15-4.

The final two nails in the Vancouver Canucks coffin, are about to be hammered!

skysidhe · 06-09-2011, 11:58 PM

oh..no.

huge loss.

Agreed, and yet the score is still 2-2. Its a 3 game series and anything can happen.
However, since "the hit" Vancouver seems like a totally different team, actually so do the bruins.
The former almost just going through the motions and the other playing with a renewed sense of purpose.

I hope so also. I'm not ready for nothing but baseball. Still way too many games left.

FTR - Boston has outscored Vancouver 15-5, yet trail 3-2.
