I always figured you swung that way...

It has more to do with the Octane Crew.

There has got to be better looking girls somewhere up there.

expectation level mostly. I expect Higgins to be noticeable. If he isn't, imo, he needs to be better. 3 rather cheap assists in 9 games is not good enough for him.

Schroeder, I just expect not to make mistakes. He didn't make any so I called it a solid game.
- IanEsplen

Fair enough.

So this big move has to be the Canucks getting Tavares or Okposo right?

I mean, the Oilers don't need another forward and the Flames are a mess so why would they move on a "Key Islander Forward".

Tavares OR Okposo?

Maybe we could swing a trade with the Pens for Crosby or Tyler Kennedy.

Not a fan of Okposo I see.

Maybe Jon or Kyle got sick of Wang's kid and said, "I want to play in Vancouver where I don't have to babysit Wang Chung."

Yeah, there's kind of a huge difference between the two. Tavares is obviously untouchable, Okposo is interesting depending on the price.

liut..schneiders agent...per Vancouver SUN:

But he still wants Schneider to get his share of the workload. "If they are both there for the entire season, and it's a 48-game season, and Roberto plays 40 games, that's a disaster," Liut said. "That's an extreme and I don't think that's going to happen, but certainly the sooner the better.

You know, I really wish agents would STFU about their clients to the media unless it's the off-season and they're about to negotiate contracts for them. I really feel they've done more to screw teams, break up locker room harmony than anything. It seems the agents for the Canucks players like Kesler, Schneider, and previously Hodgson were running their mouth off more about Gillis/AV than I see for other players/coaches/GMs/teams. I wonder if the fraternity of player agents hold a huge grudge against Gillis for jumping the line from being one of them to being management.

Yeah, the longer this goes on the worse its going to get. I think Schneider will get the start on Thursday or Saturday. He is going to have to at worst get the W. If he has a stinker its going to get very interesting.

Schneider should get the start next game. It's not like Luongo has a great track record in Minny. Also, Schneider can't go that long without starting. We need both goalies going.

He will start, Luongo isn't allowed to play in Minnesota.

Then what happens if Schneider gets a shutout, does he play 5 straight games?

I thought the comments were pretty harmless. He basically said what everybody already knows—Schneider wants the bulk of the games, etc.

Didn't really say anything controversial or inflammatory. Not like Cody and Kesler's agents, who came off far more confrontational.

The comments themselves were harmless, but with all the attention on the goatending situation right now, he is just adding fuel to the fire.

This is on Mike Gillis, no one else!

He looks really uncomfortable and unsure of himself out there at times. Hopefully he's still trying to adjust otherwise he's going to become the new Ballard by next season. The good thing is that at least he has a bomb for a shot so he'll always be a PP weapon at the very least.

Sami Salo has the best +/- in he NHL right now.

Oh wait, yah it's Gillis.

Sorry knee-jerk reaction.

Absolutley. His inabilty to make a trade has put everyone in a tough spot. Espcially Luongo, Schnieder and AV.
