Luongo... has his time in Vancouver come to an end?

Hey guys... i know long time no post but college has been busy and i have had NO time for hockey.. yes it stinks but hey i'm loving it here!

but lets get to the hockey talk already!

Luongo. Is his time done here in Vancouver?

I honestly want Lui to stay.. i love him canuck or not he'll always have a special place in my hockey heart.

however many fans have become... "anti- Luongo" as i like to call it... and it kinda annoys me not only because he's my all time favorite player but because when he's in net and we win every one loves him but if he looses then everyone is against him. Just take your position and stand by it! enough with the flip flopping! Many of you are probably thinking that because he's my favorite player I have a bias and think that he is ALWAYS amazing well... your wrong. I've seen him play at his best and at his worst, and because he is my favorite i get frustrated with him very easily.. in fact there have been games where i have been caught yelling at the television in hopes that AV will hear me screaming "BENCH LUONGO!" because he looks like an absolute mess on the ice. I defend him when he needs to be defended but i will agree with people that criticize him to some extent.

I really don't know that is going to happen to Lui.. I want him to stay in Van. I think that Gillis will test the waters yet again but Lui will not be given starter position but Schnieds and Lu will "battle" for it and whoever does better gets it.. Lui wants to do whatever is best for the team, which shows that his heart is here... he is willing to do whatever it takes for the better of the team.. even if that means the that his time in Vancouver comes to an end.

Sharks and Canucks game 1




well the Canucks were off to a rough start that night trailing 2-1 after 40min. but came into the 3rd as the comeback kids we knew they'd be. In the end Canucks won 3-2 Henrik Sedin with the game winner along with goals from Kevin Bieksa and Maxim LaPierre who pulled a reverse Bobby Orr! (the jump one...) Lui had a rough start and to the fans it was evident that Niemi was getting in his head but pushed through and gave a vintage performance in the 3rd. Canucks now lead the series 1-0. Next game will be on Wednesday at 6pm

The green men also had a great performance putting Don Cherry in a green suit! they also had several fans tough the glass for them. those guys are so creative coming up with better things every game!

Canucks and Preds game 3-6

okay well i'm not going to bother talking about the games we lost even the games we won. I'm gonna try and keep this short and sweet. Kesler was in on 7 of 11 goal this series - assists and a few goals. Henrik had his first goal in the playoffs and the Sedins finally have some points. Mason Raymond finally scored and Luongo was great. So Canucks take it in 6 games turning Smashville into Keslerville and finally advance to round 3 first time in 17 years. hello conference finals I'm happy to see you again! :D Canucks menu consists of fish or chicken but nothing has been decided yet. Canucks may be cheering for the series to get to game 7 so they can have some to rest. AND we sent OB golfing yay!!!!

Canucks and Preds game 2





well if you think of it the proper title for this blog would be Canucks VS Refs game 1 because the officiating was absolutely criminal! so many calls that weren't called and so many things called that shouldn't  have been called. and it was so convenient to call an offside on Hansen's breakaways when he clearly onside! not to mention when Luongo was tripped in the 1OT. thats all i have to say, the fact is that the Preds didn't win the Refs did and because i do not work for the NHL i can say this and not get fined like GM Mike Gillis when he spoke out to the media regarding game 7 against the hawks. all i have to say is i'm ticked of how criminal the reffing was that game and i hope that the NHL will improve on their reffing.

Canucks Vs Preds Game 1



What an excellent performance by Bobby Lu with a shutout! Chris Higgins had the lone goal for the Canucks in the 1st period. Preds came in 
confident but later left defeated after a 1-0 game. Canucks open the series 1-0 over the preds and hope to continue on that trail. Sami Salo didn't play due to a lower body injury. Lets hope that he'll soon be able to play i wanna see his sniper shot again. 
It's been a busy for proud father Alex Burrows after 24hrs of scoring the game winner against the Black Hawks his wife gave birth to newest addition Baby Victoria, and straight away another game. But its clear that the lack of rest wasn't an issue as the only reason why it was a 1-0 game was because of the Preds' goalie.


Canucks take on the Preds at Rogers Arena on Saturday.

the demons are defeated!



i'm not even going to mention game 6 not even the details of game 7 you guys watched it and know very well what happened and if not well....i guess i can give you the short story.
Canucks win 2-1 in OT. The game looked a lot like the 2010 Olympics as Luongo let one in late in the 3rd. Burrows had both the 1st and last goal. Redeeming himself in OT after serving a 2min minor for holding. But all in all WE WON!!!! WE HAVE FINALLY DEFEATED THE BLACKHAWKS! and yes revenge is sweet but #3venge is so much sweeter! The Canucks take on the Preds Thurday at 6pm at Rogers Arena.
