lmao
I didnt really know which team to cheer for in that series..I hate Dallas, so I didnt want to see them win, but on the other hand I also dont care for Anaheim and so I didnt want to see them win..I wanted to see both of them lose in the first round lol.
It was quite interesting watching the points at the end of the season. With 2 weeks left in the season, the Canucks were 1 point behind 1st place in the division. Then they ended up finishing out of the playoffs and in 11th!(9th-11th were tied with 88 pts) That just shows how insanely close the division is. They were only 3 points out of last place. Pretty crazy stuff..
Next season will be very interesting..the Canucks could be a very different team with Linden possibly retiring, Morrisons contract being up, and Naslunds contract being up! Also the fireing of Dave Nonis(our GM) could really shake the team up as the new GM could even bring in a new coach. So who knows what the team will look like next year.. The main thing that needs to be address is obviously goal scoring..the Canucks have a pretty solid D, and the best goalie in the NHL, but really lack scoring. Grab some goal scorers, make a few tweaks here n there, and the Canucks should be quite strong.
What team(s) you rootin for in the playoffs this year?
The team I want to go all the way(sadly) is Montreal, lol. I want Washington to win their series agaisnt the Flyers. I was very happy to see Detroit kill Nashville. I was extremely happy to see Colorado defeat Minnesota. I was not very happy to see the Penguins destroy Ottawa. I didnt really care either way between the Rangers and the Devils, although I kind of preferred the Devils. I seriously hope San Jose defeat Calgary, I do not want to see Calgary make it to the 2nd round! and I already said what I thought about the Dallas and Anaheim series.
I'll wait for all the teams to be finalized for the 2nd round before I say which teams I want to move passed that round.

o yea? And whose better? I'm not saying that the other top goalies arent good, but Luongo is still better, might only be slightly better, but hes still better.

Dipietro is better than Luongo? LOL, c'mon man. I know hes good, I had Dipietro as my 2nd goalie in my fantasy league this year, but theres no way hes better then Luongo.
Price is good, very good. No denying that. Maybe one day he will be better, but at this moment in time, he cannot be declared as better. He is going to have an amazing career and I look forward to watching him climb the ladder of all time goalies.
Gigure, no. Just no. Good? Yes of course.
Turco, of course very good, but I wouldnt say hes better. Definately not far behind though.(none of these goalies btw are far behind)
Nabacov. I havnt actually really followed him, but from watching his play in the first round, he is definately very good.
Hasek? Youve got to be sh*tting me. Maybe back in his glory days, but not now.
Lalime, wouldnt say hes better either.
Im not trying to say hes miles above every other goalie in the league coupe. Luongo definately had a bit of an off-season, mainly near the end of the season when his wife was having problems with her pregnancy and then once his child was finally born. You cant exactly blame the guy though for not being 100% focused during all that trouble. Family should always come before hockey, or any other job really for that matter...

Dipietro yeah he is because he was the reason they made the playoffs last year and even had a chance this year till the whole team went down Price agreed about him but just the way he played this year proves hes gonna be there if not alot better just next year Gigure, how the f*ck no he brang the ducks to the 03 cup finals and almost won them the cup that year but a f*ckin lame goal cost them it and he won them the cup last year and hes one of the best playoff goalies all time and for you to say luangos better n brings his team on his shoulders compaired to him is bs cause if he was that good he could do what gigure did back in 03 when the ducks barely even made the playoffs and no one even expected them/him to get past the first round and i belive he set the #2 record for longest shutout streak and that was vs detriot one of the best teams if not the best in the last 15 years? ? Turco, by how he plays yes is so many ways Nabacov. 43 wins this season i belive vs how many and with how the league is this year yeah Hasek,no way i'm "sh*tin you" he can still do it as i saw him play a year ago and hes just as good at his age if not better Lalime, i can see ur point here as he has had some off seasons but what he did this season for the hawks proved hes geting back on forum n how good he use to be when he was with ottawa No your just saying he is cause hes your goalie for ur team.Next ur gonna tell me hes better then brodeaur(who i f*ckin hate) or patrick roy I'm not blaimin the guy i just f*cking hate how everyone thinks hes the hottest/best f*ckin goalie in the league when hes not n there guys as good if not better n it just pisses me off Actully was 14 cop cars and i live about 5-10 mins from were it happened and i was'nt around but next round i may be and its f*ckin crazy here today infront of my house this like 6 year old kid got ran over by a car must'a been like 20 cop cars fire trucks etc btw would u want this car would cost alot i could get it locked or unlocked theres a 200,000$ diff but thought i'd ask knowin u love dem dipsh*ts
