fleung22 1 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 By 11/12, Vancouver will have a VERY strong core, still in its prime,Sedin, Sedin, Edler, Luongo, Burrows, Kesler, all locked in, for about 26/27mill. Imagine what they will be able to fill that roster out with then.I love the moves Gillis is making.ya, keeping Lui with the core team will at least attract other players to come to Vancouver. me, for one, will continue to follow hockey just because of the Lui and twins signings.

sKIjaKuDa 0 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Luongo looked good for 2 periods which was expected but still nice to see.I am so stoked for Oct 1st! Let's get it on! Link to post Share on other sites
CJHunt 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 So How much of an upset is it if/when CoHo doesn't make the cut? Link to post Share on other sites
grocery_mony 8 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 So How much of an upset is it if/when CoHo doesn't make the cut?He probally shouldnt make it based on the preseason. I see no point in keeping him if he isnt going to get 10-12 minutes a night. With their cap situation I dont see him sticking. Link to post Share on other sites
fleung22 1 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 I can't seem to find any news on Sundin. Is he doing a repeat of last year or what? Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Well... here you go:Mats Sundin held a press conference on Wednesday in Sweden to announce his retirement.Sundin had a great career in the NHL, mostly as captain for the Toronto Maple Leafs. Sundin was selected first overall in the 1989 Entry Draft and was full value for the selection. The Swedish superstar had 564 goals and 1349 points in 1346 career NHL games for Quebec, Toronto and a half a season last year with Vancouver. We wish Mats a happy retirement. His next stop will be in the Hall of Fame.http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/hock...ticle5879911.ab Link to post Share on other sites

Even with declining skilz, the Nucks are better with Mats than without. Here's praying that CoHo gets backs to full health and gets a chance to shine in Vancouver. His numbers are just too good to suck. Link to post Share on other sites

fleung22 1 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Great to see this even if I'm not sure it's true. Definitely think the Nucks always have a chance with Lui and defense but I wouldn't say they're favourites.http://sports.ca.msn.com/nhl/photos/galler...8187&page=8Locking up captain Roberto Luongo and the Sedin twins to long-term deals in the prime of their careers were amazing coups for general manager Mike Gillis. Last season's Northwest Division champs should only be stronger with the additions of Christian Ehrhoff, Mathieu Schneider, and Mikael Samuelsson. They'll be up against some tough divisional competition in the Calgary Flames, but Vancouver is still one of the league's elite - even without Mats Sundin. Link to post Share on other sites
sKIjaKuDa 0 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 4.5 hours until grabbing a table at the Shark Club downtown Gang-Couver with my bullet-proof 'Nucks Jersey for some beer and cheer.Hope all the shootin' and sh!t sticks to the suburbs or doesn't happen at all tonight. I would just like it to stop because it will be hard to move back with the family with all this bullcr@p.Anyways, w00t Canucks!!GL to all the other teams cheered for except Calgary.

fleung22 1 Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 what a crappy first period. hopefully the 09-10 Nucks are more like the second half of the game. Link to post Share on other sites
