I'm duct taping mine to Roberto Luongo's ear.


I get sad every time I see the Rangers winning Game 7 in 1994. People act like NY was such a tortured heartbroken sports city because the Rangers hadn't won in 54 years. Come on, Ranges fans had plenty of Yankee glory, two Mets Word Series, two Giants Super Bowls, the Jets in the Super Bowl, the Knicks winning it all. NY fans had plenty of glory to hold them over, unless they were hockey fans and only hockey fans. And that's very very few of them. NY is predominantly a baseball/football city.

Vancouver...they've really never won a major sports championship. And obviously it's a hockey crazy small market city. Hard not to root for them.

Plus, Luongo has been on croutons teams his whole career. He's better than Brodeur in my opinion, but never got credit because "Brodeur wins games." Nothing against #30 for the Devils, I just don't think he's quite as good as Luongo.

Yeah, go Canucks.

Baseball?

Football?

Keep those 'pretend sports' out of the discussion.


>:(

Besides, Toronto is soon to beat the Rangers record for 'longer cup winless streak'. Taht alone is argument enough that Vancouvert should have won that cup.

Robert Luongo is has a good ear this year. I'd put a dollar on it, but I don't want to be too optomestic about the cup returning to Canadien shores.



And I think Luongo may compete with some of Brodeur's accomplishments in the long. However, I think Brodeur's prven record can't be dismissed, and I would hesitate to put Luongo ahead of him. In fact, I think Brodeur may have a definite edge on Luongo.

Man its great living here when the Canucks do well in the playoffs. I would disagree that we are a small market city though. The greater Vancouver area has a population of more than 2.5 million people which makes it the third largest city in Canada. But anyways, I hope we smoke the Hawks. We are definitely starving for a championship here. These guys deserve it this team has gone through alot of tragedies this year.

GO CANUCKS GO
