Ahahahaha. Nothing better than seeing the Blues lose. Fuck the team and their fans. Freyjador is the only tolerable one. And the only one here it seems.

LOL at CBC After Hours. They were interviewing Luongo about his twitter account, good stuff.
What would that be, exactly?
I have banned myself in the past, and I certainly don't appreciate the accusation of welching on a bet.
I'll just wait here for an hour while you go find that link.

Maybe I'm remembering wrong but I seem to remember a wager with an oiler fan in which you vanished after the Canucks missed the Playoffs. I'd have to have someone with a better memory correct me as there's no fn way I'm finding that.
Yeah, you're full of shit.
A dozen years on these boards, many of the NHL OT's made by me, and I've never bailed out after the playoffs or welshed on a bet.
Apology accepted.

Percentage. Neither in the top 5.

You gotta admire the parity.
If they won 300 and lost 6000 they'd still be leading in total faceoffs won but would be fucking terrible on the draw.
Stupid semantics Marvie. He's 6th in faceoff percentage if you exclude the top 3 that have only played 1 and 3 games. Still impressive. Especially with how many he's taken. He's taken more than your boy Jonathan Toews

...considering percentage won instead of number won is stupid semantics? Do you even try to do anything other than embarrass yourself anymore?
The stupid semantics is top 5 vs 6th. Kuro's intention was that Bozak is doing a great job in the faceoff circle. Both faceoff wins and percentage show that. Stupid thing to argue about.
Also you need to relax a bit. You act like I personally stole your lollipop.

He has a valid point. Okay, so you win 200/1000 faceoffs. The other guy won 180/200. Are you really going to say that the prior is more valuable or better? It's not a stupid argument or semantics.
And I doubt I'd want any lollipop you stole from me back.
He was claiming he was #1. Pay attention.
Actually #2, but #2 vs #6 is also stupid.
So in your opinion, who do we trade?
- Schneider gets us a great player. Perhaps even a top 3 forward?
- Luongo has confidence issues in the playoffs which have hurt us, but won't return as much.

You should trade Schnieder for Ovechkin.
Don't trade anyone.
With Kesler and Booth coming back our team looks great.
If we have to trade, leave it to the deadline.
You trade Luongo, but I wouldn't be against rolling with the tandem all year and trading Luongo in the offseason, to be honest.
You absolutely can't trade Schneider with how good he looks. The age difference is just too staggering between him and Luongo. You may get 5 more good years out of Luongo, but with Schneider you're looking at likely 10 or more.
I was in the "trade Schneider" camp for a long, long time, because you don't just give up an all star goalie for the flavour of the month, but Schneider is the real deal. He's going to be (and maybe already is) an all star in his own right and he's been patient and loyal as fuck.
Amazing.
LOL so good
I... I.... I don't know what to say... It's just... So... Beautiful.... :')
OMG Luongo calling Scott Oake a milt hahahahahaha.

ROFL
EDIT: The whole after hours with Luongo is pretty good. "Vancouver sure loves its backups, that's why everyone loves me again now". The whole segment on strombone is hilarious too
He also confirmed it's his account.I feel like there's other, perhaps more germane riot footage you could have used.

Didn't know wtf a milt was till now, but that's fucking hilarious. Haha.
So is Schroeder our permanent* third line center once Kesler returns? Strong defensively, can play well within the Canucks' system, and has a nose for the net. He's not terrible at faceoffs (41%) and won't be relied on too much anyhow since Hank/Kesler/Malhotra are all very good. He fumbles a bit with the puck, but he hasn't once frustrated me like Ebbett did. I don't expect him to have the impact that Hodgson did, but I do think he's got a place on this team now.
* permanent unless he struggles enough and can be sent down because he's exempt from waivers
* permanent unless he struggles enough and can be sent down because he's exempt from waivers
All the non-hockey stuff in that gif is from one (amazing) conspiracy theory video. Made it much easier/quicker to piece together. But you're right.
41% is pretty bad on faceoffs, but other than that he's been very good. I'd actually like to see him tried on Kesler's wing with Raymond on the other side. Speeeeeeeeeeeeed.
If you win 4/10 faceoffs, they're still going to let you play center. That's all I'm saying. Poor, but not terrible.
