The Stanley Cup: The Canadian Comeback Tour

[The-Leak (aka) kingwell (bka) JULES]

2004: Finalist - Calgary
2005- lockout
2006: Finalist - Edmonton

2007: *Predicted finalist* Ottawa  (will lose to Anaheim)

2008: VANCOUVER WINS THE CUP FINALLY


Montreal and Toronto suck, sorry.

[P Nelson]

Vancouver sucks as a team, you only had success because of Luongo. What kind of team allows more then 60 shots in a must win game?

Montreal's 24 cups > Leafs Cups >>>>  Vancouvers... dream of a first cup

MTL and TO didn't even make the playoffs.... So that means Van is better than them by default.

Van have the best PK unit...  Great defense and of course Goaltending..  They only need to get a good offensive scorer or 2 and they will be set....  That was their problem with the Playoffs and most of the season, and they still made it to Round 2.   They got a shitload of young talent on their team..  If they trade Nazzy, or Morrison and some draft picks for a couple of good offensive scorers, they will have a serious team.

BTW, they were the best team in the regular season since Christmas on... That should say how good they are...

Allowing 60 shots a game in the playoffs is not what's up.. without Luongo your team is shit, you're the #1 PK because of Luongo, your defense looks good, because of Luongo. Our powerplay was #1 for almost all year. The Canucks were the better team this year, I even admit that the team was too inconsistant this year and had a shitty season at the end, but as an organisation:
Habs > Leafs > Canucks

Your team has no history, no cup, no tradition... oh ya, you had Pavel Bure but he shit on the team and asked to be traded, what a shame. Hockey is all about titles and the only title that matters is the Stanley Cup, without one, your team has no braggin right, lol @ braggin about a second round exit... been there, done that, we do get eliminated early quite often, but at least we have something to brag about.

I like Luongo a lot and have nothing really against the Canucks, but as a Habs fans, I had to defend my team and spit some game at you.

O and you wanna talk about capacity of improving the team? We have 2 first round picks and are deep in prospects + big space in the salary cap , could be real interesting

At this point it is a toss up in my mind.  There are 4 really strong teams left.  I've really enjoyed the playoffs this year too, the coverage on vs. has been great

I think it will be Anaheim vs Ottawa..   I hope they get past Detroit cuz I haaaaaate that team.

BTW: good points Mak, that's cool.

ROFL.  We haven't won it ever as the Canucks, but if you count the Millionaires, we haven't won it in century. LOL.  WE ARE LONG OVERDUE. It was close in 94..   The team now we got now is the closest thing we have got since that 94 team..  iBelieve!!!!!

I guess this really is the canadian comeback tour.  I'm pretty excited for the first couple games of the stanley cup, can't wait to see how the teams match up in the finals

people keep saying "without Luongo your team would be shit"......but we have Luongo, we dont have to apologize for having sick goaltending.   

they do need some more offense tho,  it would be sick if they could pick up Drury, Briere or Gomez in the summer
