So Luongo is totally out-playing Schneider. Wouldn't be surprised if we traded Schneider instead. I mean, we have Eddie Lack and Joe Cannata (Cannata had the same numbers as Schneider in University) coming up too who look like they could be starters one day.

They're gonna want more for Schneider than Lu though.

Yeah, but Schneider doesn't have a NTC so he can't choose where we trade him like Luo can. It evens out.

[CanadaPure]

True.

But if no one will pay for Luongo they won't pay for CS

Yeah, but what if there's teams that want Luongo that he wont go to? We really don't know, because he's got the control.

Chris Tanev got his first career goal in OT vs. the Oilers. It was sexy.

[PAINKILLƎR]

Kings lost hard to the Predators, our defense sucked ass. So did the refs.

Damn bigray your fucking huge

[CanadaPure]

[PAINKILLƎR]

Anybody wanna swap rosters with my Kings?

[CanadaPure]

The Canucks need to fire AV and hire Ruff.

Kassian beat the crap out of some guy on the Stars and got an assist. It was a good night.

Karlsson needs to shut the hell up. I've watched the video of how it happened at least ten or twelve times, it was an accident. Cooke has a bad history, but he hasn't played like that since before last season.

Bieksa has had his leg lacerated in a similar "questionable" style and never bitched once. The league obviously saw no problem with it. I get that he's mad because he can't play, but it's time to shut up and work on re-habbing it.

I also look forward to seeing Neil destroy Cooke though, because I fucking hate Cooke.

Accident or no accident if that was Crosby who had a season ending injury from the same type of hit Matt Cooke or whoever would have got 20 games no questions asked.

I watched the replay several times as well and Cooke doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt because of his history..... It was a reckless play by Cooke which ended arguably 1 of the most exciting players to watch in the NHL... I saw Cooke lift his leg and stomp down on Karlsson 's ankle area... Did Cooke intend to tear his Achilles tendon? I don't think so at all but I believe his intentions were to hurt Karlsson.

That play along the boards happens in almost every hockey game with zero injuries, funny how Karlsson gets injured when Cooke does the same play.

Yes I hope Neil hurts Cooke when we play Shitsburgh again.

If you look at the angle which Cooke went in for the hit, he had his leg lifted as part of his turn into the hit. I think that as he went to put his foot back down he ran it over his leg by mistake. The NHL certainly would have suspended Cooke if they saw it as malicious, because he's a repeat offender and there was talk about expelling him from the NHL at one point.

If you want to see an actual stomp, look at Pronger on Kesler from probably 2007-ish. I have a feeling there was probably a hole in Karlssons sock that allowed what would have normally been nothing to cut his ankle.

[CanadaPure]

Ya that stomp from Pronger is definitely not comparable to the stomp I was talking about...that was an actual stomp. I see what you are saying though and 80% of the Analysts were saying that hit is not suspendable.

Karlsson does not wear a piece of tape around his ankles as many NHLers do, I bet he will wear one now.

I just want him too be 100% the same or better when he is back and not like Markov who had the same type of injury and i took him like 3 years to get back.

I played in a "beer league" for fun last summer, and almost got my leg cut open because my sock had a little tiny hole in it that compromised the whole thing.

Bieksa took a long time to get going after his leg got cut too, then right when he got up to speed again the exact same spot got lacerated by another skate.

[CanadaPure]

Let's see if the Canucks can not let in 8 goals tonight smh

[CanadaPure]

Fuck the Canucks, fuck hockey, fuck bitches.

[CanadaPure]

I dont think KC would work as an expansion team. I think Seattle would do just fine though. Fans from Vancouver would go down there to watch games and the Vancouver x Seattle rivalry would be dope.

[CanadaPure]

Canucks floundering like a motherfucker.
