1040AM - "(Sundin to VAN) signed, sealed and delivered in the next 7-10 days"
on paper, good enough to have a shot at the NW crown. beyond that who knows? really, we'll have to wait and see how they play. still gotta get sundin signed of course.
Well according to your Canuck sources who has been spewing rhetoric all over the Habs board, your GM is using the Olympics of 2010 as a ploy to entice Sundin to come so he can utilize the many business opportunities after he retires.
"Sundin spotted eating ice cream in Stanley Park, news at 6 on Global BC"
All jokes aside, I'll be glued to the Vancouver media for days on out..in the meantime I'll post meaningless Sundin spotting's in the city...like for say, "Sundin uses the pay phone at Chevron gas station in Surrey, employee spots him, calls Vancouver Sun ASAP"

but jokes aside, if the rumors are in fact true, congrats to the nucks.
I hope my good gesture here, gets me a discount when i come to buy a computer desk from his ikea. oh zing!
Cowan in Game 2
Moen in Game 4
Niedermayer in Game 5
Right?
my bad, that seems correct after thinking about it, i just remember a lot of OT that playoffs for the canucks
point is, the series was a lot closer than the 5 games seemed to indicate, due to luongo shutting the door and allowing OT, but the canucks just couldnt buy a goal back then. They got shut out in 3 games of round one and still ended up winning the series! Who is to say that they couldnt go far if they just added a couple more pieces?... like, say... sundin/demitra/bernier
It kind of entertaining to see just how riled habs fans become, its like a portal of emotions when entering the habs forum.
I think we would feel the same way if the situation was reversed and all the rumours were pointing to Sundin signing in Montreal. Which is why I choose to remain realistic and treat all the "Mats seen in Vancouver" or "My source says Mats is pencilled in as the first line center" as good entertainment and nothing more.

even though it was you spewing that crap on our board (perhaps it IS true), you're a good man nonetheless.
i wasnt really a fan of this idea to begin with. trading away your top offensive players for 1 offensive player in return doesnt exactly solve the teams scoring woes does it? we'd be in the same boat as last season.
No way, we'd be in a much faster, cooler boat with an awesome stereo and painted entirely with plasma televisions!
The Sedins give us 55 goals. Kovalchuk would give us 55 goals. The money is about the same. What you gain is a dynamic player, a roster spot for another dynamic player, a change up for a stale offense, and a couple of years more youth.
If this goes down do you think there is some legitimacy or sensibility to the Sedins for Kovalchuk thing?
I don't think that was anything other than tire-kicking, can't blame GMMG for inquiring about Kovy. IMO we're a better team with the Sedins than with Kovalchuk.
Demitra - Sundin - Kovalchuk does make me pee a little though.
The biggest benefit for them if Sundin signs is that it frees up the Sedins from the tight checking they utterly fail against. In theory.
I find comments like this pretty funny.
They "utterly fail" against tight checking?? they've been the canucks top unit, out against other team's top units for a couple seasons now... and they were both top 30 in scoring last 2 straight years... they put up 74 and 76 points this past year, and each had over 80 pts the year before.
I mean if "utter failure" is putting up 70+ points while having no offense behind, or with you, then these guys should be putting up well over 100 points in the right situation...
Sundin had just 2 more points than Henrik last year... 3 more goals than Daniel.... they both outscored him the season before.
To be completely honest, if he signs in Vancouver it looks to me like he doesn't really care about winning the cup. I know lots of Nuck fans will get on me for saying this but I think getting Sundin makes them a playoff contender...Not a cup contender. He's taking the money over the cup.
