I'm not sure what their never having won a cup has to do anything. They have never gotten into trouble off the ice, they train their asses off, give back to their community, etc. Is the value of that diminished because they don't have a cup?

Of course the franchise comes first, but I'm not in any hurry to watch the franchise I cheer for race for last.

It's just part of the process, finishing near the bottom, I'm not sure it's a race.

Just meaning that if they wanted a shot at a Cup is all.
- LeftCoaster


Oh ok. That I agree with. If they want another shot they aren't going to get it here.

Those along with keep us somewhat competitive is exactly why you want that type of mentorship for the youth.

Ought to be lifting weights as opposed to stacks of money.

Florida panthers are on fire.
I think they will be the Eastern team i cheer for come playoffs.
Wait...unless of course, if Lou wins a cup, that might mean he retires early!
New plan, hope that Lou gets the elixir to life from Jagr and wins as a 45 year old.

Ditto. I've never really developed a hatred for former Canucks, although Kesler is definitely straining that philosophy.

My brother missed the New Year's Eve Lotto 649 by one number for 20 mil. He had 30 and it was 31 or vice versa. He won close to 3 000. Quick pick

I have also missed out on a 7 mil jackpot . I had a 7 and it was 9. I got 1004 dollars.

My father also was off by one number once and got 1400 .

What are the chances of that happening to 3 people in one family

Karma dude...don't forget your friends on HB when you win

Just like the Canucks, you and yours choke when you're oh so close.
- Cape Breton Bruins

If your boy Gary wanted us to win we would have won. Instead he and his merry band of idiots and Colin Campbell made a whole bunch of rule changes during the 2011 SCF so your poor Big Bad Broons could win. Feels good hey? Knowing the Broons are under one of gary's tainted cups...

Shink maybe NHL ready but I will have more faith when he is actually on the roster.

I think playing him 8 minutes on the 4 th line last time up is hard for me to think WD is on board the Shink train

- VANTEL

Sooner or later WD will have no choice once Benning changes the personnel.

Lu. Kess was an idiot. He was at times our best player but an idiot nonetheless.

Russell Wilson is the 1st player in NFL history to record 4,000 Pass yds, 30 Pass TD & 500 Rush yds in a season.

Hate to say it as I liked Lou too but he was acting like quite a tool in the end...almost Kesler like with the Dressing room Elephant. Lou as good as he is ain't winning no cup. Playoff and big game choker and we have seen it all first hand.

Very true. So hard to like that clown even when he was here.
