I think Lack could be the starter but I think as most on here might agree he did falter in the later half the season. He needed a good back up or another #1. Another factor was injuries took there toll as well as the shot blocking no mind system that he who shall not be named employed. To much is made of having 2 good goalies. Main problem is we (fans/media) destroy goalies here. Sad really.

I couldn't agree with you more.
Imagine. You are working, maybe in a restaurant, perhaps a cubicle- tired perhaps. You spill coffee on the paper shredder, you are instantly photographed and tweeted. 'Lazy blowhard needs to pay attention to his hands, and what he is doing. Total hack'. Over and over, every mistake, magnified x 1000.
Yeah, he didn't come out of the crease, it was raining outside, snap judgement, maybe a not-well-thought-out alibi, goal was scored. Preseason game. Who cares? . Twitter eats it up. Luongo? Neurotic. Reimer? Same. Scrivens? Pissed off before his bags were even unpacked, as was his wife; hadn't even wore the jersey, in fact.

NHL.com says tomorrow nights game between then Canucks and Oilers is on NBC................................................I dont think so.

Evander Kane

Come on, guys, Kate Beirness? I mean, I like her and I think it's her personality that really makes her 'attractive'; however, you can't tell me that you would be oggling her if she walked past you on the sidewalk (ok, maybe you would, you perverts, but I'm jus' sayin' is all)

She's the type of woman you would bring home to your parental units, but not the type of woman that you would lose your sheets over. I'm just tellin' it like it is - unfortunately we live in an extremely shallow world (thankfully I've got the looks - I would say I'm a combination between PeeWee Herman and Barney the Dinosaur (the old Barney the Dinosaur and not the new Vegas Barney)

Don't get me wrong, I'd totally throw it in her but as long as she didn't talk too much... she has a man voice and I'm not sure what effect that might have while Captain Happy is trying to get his groove on.

Yeah that's it she's to much like a dude, but what ever make's you happy Zogg. I guess it's an upgrade over Sheeniqua.

I said earlier. Physically attractive with a butch voice. But thats somewhat required in her field I guess.

Oh Sheneequa, she was a demon in bed

I agree, though, I'm a very aural person (that's aural you perverts) and I don't think I can handle that sort of voice. Again, I think she'd make an excellent friend but unfortunately wouldn't be that attractive to me (sorry Kate )

There's some thing to be said about the 70's porno hair the women have being sporting on that channel the past little while...

Hopefully they aren't doing the same thing below the equator...

Good point, I think she needs to be more like 'one of the guys' in such a very male dominated business.

Love the 70s lol both for its fantastic progressive music (Floyd, early Genesis, King Crimson etc etc etc) and, yes, I confess I prefer erotica from the 70's (wait, was that out loud?)

Wasn't that a topic from the last blog thread?

bang on.

Although I will say Evanka Osmack still manages to remain a little more lady like. And I would take her down and go to jail for it if i had the chance.

Discuss.

...and furniture, while she's at it!

This franchise has always over valued their backup goalies. Remember they traded Doug Lidster to the Rangers for Vanbiesbrouk in order to protect Kay Whitmore.

Edit: I forgot to add one of these

I came across this story about James and his thoughts on Gillis. It's old news but very telling.
