All Things Canuck (We be golfing now)

bye bye bert…..

It wouldn't have mattered anyway. My boys from Ottawa (or my other boys from Montreal) are going all the way!
Go Ottreal!

Everyone knows even if they did make it they would lose first round to Detroit and have the same inconsistant team next year. The players I can see staying for sure are Allen, Auld, Sedins, Cooke, Linden, Ruutu, Morrison, Ohlund, Carter, Weinrich and Kesler. Can anyone spot the reason why I picked these players?

ok, here is a summary of the canucks in the last 10 years:

first 10 games kick ass, fans get on band wagon.
game 11-70 canucks start to progressively get worse, losing streaks common, fans have that nervous "they'll come back smile"
70-end of season they launch a comeback, which usually has them a) not making the play-offs, or b) being eliminated in the first round (with some minor exceptions). fans off bandwagon, slag team through summer.

i don't bother with hockey anymore. the mighty ducks killed it.

I dont know if things have changed or not. But last I checked the Sedins contract ended this year. And if we dont get rid of Burt and Nazy(whos gonna take them and for what), there is enough room do to the salary cap to keep these players. Because you know other teams will be offering more money than the Canucks can offer.

Lets just hope they both got wives and good friends here and like them enough to stay.

I'm jumpin in late but my reaction last night was kind of muted, much like the whole Canucks season. If I hear one more analyst bring up those 6 games against the Blues I'm gonna scream.

It would have been nice to not have been bit by the injury bug but if Cloutier had stayed healthy, I can't help but wonder how the season would have ended. Auld as a rookie wasn't able to steal games and like his durability or not Cloutier stood on his head on occasion.

Who re-signs might come down to how big the bump in the salary cap is. Jovo, Carter and the Sedin's for sure. I can see Naslund back but I'm willing to bet Bobby Clarke pulls the trigger on a trade for Bert in the offseason. He's made plays for Bert before so I can see that happening. I bet they start the season off with Cloutier and see who is available in November.

As to Crawford. He's on thin ice. I think he'll stay but at the first sign of trouble I bet he's on his ass and we have a Sutter for a coach.

^^^^ good point everyone was getting hurt all over the place.

As much as I don't always agree with Tim Allen when it comes to hockey I respect that he, like myself, is a loyal fan and I'm not going to tear into them too badly.

Lets just forget about hockey for a few months and come October be ready to support our team again. :beer: :canada:
