in game 5, we were seconds from winning. had we won that, we'd have finished the rangers off at home, there would have been no game 7. that's how close the series was.


anyway, regardless of what happens, i'll be buying nhl center ice and doing it all again come fall....

when you're top 5 in salary cap every year and have nothing to show for it, something has to give

i just wonder who the new coach will be...and what players will be gone soon. i just hope we keep nick and wideman. and holtby. and alzner and carlson i feel will stay.

Pittsburgh just won a Stanley Cup in 2009.

Vancouver is hopeless.

And they damn near tore down the city. I think that was a high water mark for the Canooges.

I agree, they didn't win last year and got knocked out as the 1 seed this year. I feel like some changes have to be coming to Vancouver.

Whomever made the comparison with the Sharks was spot-on. How many years did we hear how awesome Thornton, Marleau, Heatley, Clowe, etc., are, and they never got past the conference semis until last year. Maybe Devon Setoguchi was the difference?
