1 Vancouver Canucks vs 8 Los Angeles Kings

[sneakyray]

So let's cut to the chase: are we getting Luongo or Schneider for Phaneuf?

Maybe not for Phaneuf, but we are getting one of them. I'm guessing Luongo because Schneider is better.

I don't see it. Isn't Luongo's contract an albatross?

hes under contract until 2022 and the last few seasons are around 1mil...so knowing burke, he won't take on that contract.

now if he gets bought out...thats another deal altogether.

I think I'm hoping the Canucks win a game, because I want to see them lose at home.

I don't know. I feel like having them get swept in the 1st round would be among the most satisfying playoff results that I can remember.

Because you don't have any to remember from your own team. Hilarious!

It would be the first time in NHL history that the presidents trophy winners get swept in the first round.

I'll watch tonight and hope for a sweep.  If that happens, the pressure will be immense to really shake the team up, and one of Luongo or Schneider will pry loose, I'm hopin.'

And as a Toronto Maple Leafs fan, that is just the ultimate isn't it?

Stop trolling.

Just about as hilarious as someone believing something that happened almost 20 years ago gives them reason to feel superior.

How's the view from down there?

These made me laugh:

Those totally just made my day!

time to change my clothes too.......

 

[Tigger]

So Henrik Sedin doesn't understand playoff 'mindset' currently but has, in the past, understood how to dive with the best of them. I suppose that isn't contradictory on his part but it is a bit revealing.

Yup, hoping for the sweep.

Also, Simmons comes up with another doozy statement that I won't bother linking to, however, to say,"But the sadness in all of this: The NHL has never been as out of control at playoff time..." is just pure BS nonsense.

It's not a good contract but the cap hit is not absurd at $5.33m. The length is horrible but MLSE has the money to bury him if the need arises.

Bottom line, the Leafs are desperate for a goaltender that can elevate this team out of the basement and Luongo fits the bill.

Schneider in net tonight is pretty telling on which direction the Canucks are going?

Anze just burned him.

Canucks fans already were on Raymond pretty badly before that.
