Agreed, i don't think the situation is that dire.

Top 4 of Bieksa, Edler, Tanev, Sbisa is decent with Stanton, Weber, Corrado and countless other call-ups available.

Grabbing someone of waivers, such as Schlemko last week would have been a good move.

Even 7th defenseman are getting decent value back nowadays.

I miss Luc Bourdon and what he could have been. Great kid with a great future. Sad when things like that happen to people in the prime of life.

Luo will be cheered. He had many more sympathizers IMO

That has to go down as one of the most devastating things to happen to this franchise. I can only imagine what his family must've went through, and only continue to go through.

He'd be one of our top defenceman right now, but sometimes God has different plans I guess.

What are you talking about? Don't you know it's an absolute privilege to watch the Leafs play? Who do these fans think they are?

Good write up on the lain-Acton trade.

http://blogs.edmontonjour...-canucks-for-kellan-lain/

It wasn't sbisa who screwed up on the firt goal, it was webber.

We should try and word out some sort of transfer for that Giraffe looking prospect we have over in Russia.

I think TREEyamkin is his name.

The Kesler thing is old news; I think most people are happy with the return especially with the injury to Hamhuis, if we didn’t have Sbisa the team would be in real trouble. If they plan on a playoff push they better figure out a way to get some defensive depth pretty quick. The weakness is glaring with this team, the price is high to fix it and its not going to get any less.

If we didn't have Sbisa, Benning likely would of picked up a different D-man which might of been the better move. It still remains to be seen if Sbisa can be a regular player but so far IMO he looks like a 7th D. Regardless the Nucks do need to sort out their defensive depth. A trade with Pitsburgh would be nice as they have a number of NHL ready prospects (Pouliet, Harrington, Despres, Dumoulin, Bortuzzo), I doubt Pouliet or Despres are available but Harrington would be a really nice pick up.

I liked Lu for the most part, didn't like seeing him on his belly , but mismanagement by Gillis, AV and Torts pushed him away.

He was definitely a more likable character than RK.

Dillon traded for Demers

I like it for SJ.

Thats an odd trade. SJ definitely comes out on top.

Set up for a bigger deal. maybe

What is with Sportsnet and their biggest sore losers for their countdown having Vancouver at #3 for the riots?

They trying to alienate the west coast?

Can't find any other examples? Fecking joke of a network.

Isnt it great how the NHL told TSN to go Fukk themselves?

Well it is kinda hard to argue with 2 separate riots for losing in the finals, I will always be a Canuck fan but those moments in our history still make me sick.

Both networks can be bad. They both want to go on and on about the Leafs not showing up to play the 2nd night after the game and ignore current games for gossip and reaction.

I kind of wish there was an alternative like the old SportsPage with a focus more on the Canucks and local sports. I find myself looking at the Canucks Youtube channel more and more.

They have rioted in other cities.

The number of crazy examples of sore losers has to be out of this world.

I never liked the riots either. And with the thought the last one in Vancouver was started by a bunch of anarchists and was going to happen win or lose makes it all the more sickening.

Anyway, I am more sensitive about the coverage and quality of coverage than the riots. But, really, what sort of reaction are they looking for from a Vancouver audience or do they even realize or care they have an audience in Vancouver?

No kidding, I'd take Dillon over Demers 10 out of 10 times. What the hell happened? there's got to be more to this story. Dallas management aren't that stupid (are they?)
