Overrrated? We must be talking about Roberto Luongo.

Hey, do us a favor and tell Alex Burrows to try not to pull anybody's hair this year.

A guy on a team with a goalie who cries after crapping his pants in Game 6.

Better than crapping your pants on the ice on a regular basis. Your goalie's name is what? Doesn't he belong in the AHL?

And Byfuggly better watch his ass cause if it gets in front of Lou, Alberts is gonna take him out

LMAO! Gotta love this time of year!! So, how about a frientdly bet? Wanna put your $$$ where your mouth is? I'll put up a 7 year old bottle of Island Rum

Sucker punch? Please, Kessler was coming for some, and even admitted it himself. Not Ladd's fault that he is a better fighter.

Big Buff is playing D now, and I am sure Alberts would take him out...didn't his antics cost the Canucks a couple games and almost the series? Please, let Prince Alberts sit in the box all day while the Hawks PP launches rubber past Lil Robbie.

I am more than down for a bet...but I don't drink rum besides Zacapa and Ron Centenario.

Niemi GAA 2.25
Luongo GAA 2.57

Niemi 7 shutouts in 39 games
Luongo 4 shutouts in 68 games

Niemi Shootout Save Pct .813
Luongo Shootout Save Pct .643

Niemi wins 67% of games played in '09'-10
Luongo wins 59% of games played in '09'-10

Gee, if Niemi belongs in the AHL, Luongo must belong in the ECHL.

LOL! Anti Niemi (whatever it is) - sounds like a disease...BTW, One season does not a career make. The world is full of one season wonders, especially in net! If he puts together a couple of good seasons, then we can talk!

Nucks in 6 - if you're up for a friendly wager, it doesn't have to be HC7. I'm open to putting some sticks on the line.

Dryden did it his rookie season. So did Roy. Luongo was 80-138 after his first 5 seasons, would it be better if Niemi had a start like that?

Sure, lets bet some sticks.

seeing as how were taking bets and taking chair shots, what's the over under on how long it takes canuck fan to run anti american smack when they lose? I hope they get more creative then "yankees suck!" this time.

Does the rest of Canada face palm that city. I know America jr. secretly hates us, but atleast the rest of the country keeps quiet about it.

and boom goes the dynamite.

LOL! We're having some fun is all. As for anti - American smack, I don't do that, but I can understand why some do as you came out some interesting remarks with no provocation (Face Palm? - i'm not even sure what that means)....lmao....America Jr....you wish!!

Wow you sure see things from one side only. "yankees suck" /americans suck is having fun? Was booing the US national anthem during the world jrs in vancouver also in fun? It started a whole anthem booing fiasco back and forth.

No provocation? Your arena is chanting Americans suck and I can't comment on it? You think it's unprovoked for me to comment on it and it's somehow americans fault. Guess it's something in the water up there.

you know what my response would be if san jose was chanting Canadians suck. It's immatuer, classless and unacceptable. Sounds like it will happen again.


as to the game Yotes not looking so good.

Considering there's more players from British Columbia on the Hawks than there are on the Canucks, I tend to doubt that'll happen. This isn't international play, nationality has nothing to do with it (if it did Kesler would have been run out of town after his "I hate Canada" comments while representing your country in the Olympics ). Besides, what would be the point..... as we proved in Feb, hockey's our game regardless of where the team winning the Cup happens to be based

I'm calling Chicago in 6.

It's going to be a close series (6 or 7 games). I will take the Canucks in 6.

5 Sticks is fine by me. May the better team win !!

Top 4 on the Hawks are Keith, Seabrook, Hjalmarsson and Campbell. If Johnsson is healthy, Sopel is #6. That being said, Sopel has been an amazing penalty killer all season long, I personally love the guy.

Cool on the bet, win or lose, it will be fun.

Wish I could! I can't even go to Game 1 in Chicago because of a stupid leg injury.

So you can guess who I want to see in the Finals! 1992 all over again!

That would rock!

Mike, I would fly out there for that, I almost drove to the Joe and scalped a ticket last year for Game 7 of the Finals. It would be great to meet and hang out, and watch some hockey. I even still have my Jimmy Waite Sharks jersey!


Now...somebody stop this man!!!

I'm pretty sure there are canadian players on the kings. Infact I know there are and it didn't stop the arena from chanting "yankees suck" when they lost. So your international play comment doesn't really hold any weight.

as to the other stuff no one will ever argue hockey isn't your game. It's our fourth sport here in the states behind football, baseball, and basketball, in that order. For it being our 4th sport I think our boys did all right but that's not what my post was about. You will find it shocking but not a lot of kids play the game here. In a city of almost 1 million people here there were roughly 50 kids between the age of 4 to 6 who played ice hockey this year.

my post was about vancouvers recent history of anti american chants in both international and nhl play. Was it a poke and kind of a trolling post? Yup, but to be honest it's troubling to see it keep happening up there when it isn't happening down here.

I think your kessler comment was that he hates playing the canadians and hates the team. He was not saying he hates canadians. Even if so that is one loud mouth person speaking poorly.
