BrySmalls Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Well there won't be any ''Big O'' for the Habs this year http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=288672Good, didn't want to make the trip to see the Caps to play in an "outdoor" game in Canada.Yeah, 80,000+ angry Habs fans after Ovie breaks their hearts once again would not be good joojoo. You might feel like Mockba did in Mexico City!Or when an unproven goalie makes 32 saves against the Canadiens and wins the game, 2-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could pretty much have 3 teams though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyLamarr Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 As much as they'd like to put all the top-scoring players on the roster, you still need those defensive-minded defensemen and penalty-killing forwards.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could pretty much have 3 teams though.What?!?Did you watch the Playoffs? Ward played amazing and I would bet money that he will be the #3 goalie.Secondly, the goalies you listed to replace him are absolute garbage. Turco played like all season, Giguere isnt even a starter, Biron cant win when it counts, Mason got hot near the end of the season, Roloson doesnt deserve an invite and Osgood is Osgood, he's not bad but he's not Team Canada material. beLEAF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could pretty much have 3 teams though.Ed Jovanovski? Really?! Ryan Getzlaf WAS on the team, but forced to sit out due to surgery. Patrice Bergeron hasn't been the same since his near-career-ending injury, if he could get back to the form he was in prior to the injury, I would bet he would already be in this camp. But I do agree with you on Marc Savard, this guy gets overlooked all too often.And, just no on the goaltending. Cam Ward has, most importantly, shined in playoff situations and is still a relatively young goalie. Osgood, Roloson, and Giguere, while they had success in the playoffs, are too old, and Biron and Turco barely has any success in pressure situations. Its clear that Hockey Canada invited the members who will be on future teams, those that will follow the Brodeurs and Luongos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Big activity from the Canucks today:http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=289113-DanGillis is the man. Canucks give up to less than stellar prospects for a top 4 dman and Lukowich who is a solid player. Theeeeeeeeen he grabs Schneider who brings loads of experience and is still a good player. These moves make the Canucks the deepest team in the west after Detroit. A salary dump will have to be made, which can be done without losing a lot. I'm so ready for training camp, this has to be the most optimistic I have been about the Canucks in awhile, and I usually think they have a good team.

I have to wonder why on earth San Jose would make the trade they did. Patrick White barely even plays on his college team, and Rahimi is unlikely to ever be an NHL regular. Seems like a salary dump. Canucks probably need to move at least one d-man now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks probably need to move at least one d-man now.Perhaps both teams are making moves to try and get Heatley. San Jose frees up around $5 million (they were very close to the cap before this deal), and Vancouver has a plethora of defensemen, and Ottawa could sure use some defense.

Lee. Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Canucks, however, are over the cap. I'd be trying to move Bieksa (sad to see him go, but the other guys have no-trades, and Edler has too much upside) and maybe Demitra and Raymond. That brings the Canucks to about $6M under the cap, and plenty of room for the end of the season.But moving Bieksa/Raymond buys them about $3M, so that's probably the main option at this point.
