We need to keep the "Around the League" in the title. Its causing some confusion with people looking for it.

Lack, not Luongo, will be starting the Heritage Classic tomorrow

are you kidding?!
holy smokes... and this is with Torts saying how he's cheering for Sweden because Luongo wasn't getting a chance in Sochi.

 

[Peasy]

Man it is snowing A LOT in the pits Chi game. Looks more so than the Winter Classic.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Lu not starting tomorrow

Jeez I really feel for the guy. Such bad treatment of a guy.

 

[Warden of the North]

Meh. Lack has been the better goalie and they need the points. Its not an exhibition game

 

[LeafSadist]

Westgarth just got dropped, Gazdic is one tough dude

A tale of 2 organizations:
NJ needed the points as well. Schneider has been the better goalie, NJ starts Brodeur in the outdoor game.
Vancouver gives every reporter an article to write to cause drama.

Should it matter who starts for a spectacle like the outdoor classic? 2 points are 2 points and that's all that should matter.

If the Canucks were to miss the playoffs by 2 points, then they will get the questions about Tortorella not starting Lack when he was on a roll. So if its not one thing, then it's another. You have to play the lineup which gives you the best chance to win.

It would be like saying an outdoor game played in Winnipeg and saying that Reimer should start if the Leafs were in the thick of a playoff hunt. Would that be the best case?

I think if they miss the playoffs by 2 points I'd look more at the 7 game losing streak and the fact that this team can't beat any team in California as the problem over 1 winter classic.
It does matter, this team was filled with the Luongo drama last year and was quickly erased from the playoffs in 4 games. They have bigger problems than Luongo but allow them to go on. Lu is unhappy, true or false Kesler wants out of Vancouver, management created this problem and it carries on. Winning is important but players are also human beings, are you killing morale which will lead to more losses vs. 1 game?

3 point game between Flyers and Caps..

3 point game between Flyers and Caps..

I don't even bother looking at scoreboards anymore. All games are more than likely going to OT or SO from here on.

Teams no longer play to win, they play to get that point and then see if they can win.

3 point game between Flyers and Caps..

Really good game too. Playoff like.

 

[Grant]

Daniel Sedin off the ice with injury.

 

[Peasy]

Really good game too. Playoff like.

Iffy 5 minute major changing the whole game...

Man Vancouver is useless.

 

[Warden of the North]

Come on Vancouver, win a game for once.

 

[Erdinger]

I hate Vancouver. Come on you can't even beat the Sens

Someone explain what LU did did to not get this start?

because lack was better apparently.

 

[Warden of the North]

Vancouver is a mess right now.

Pull the plug on that team, its time has sailed.

 

[BonMorrison]

As much as I wanted the Canucks to win for standings reasons, I just hate them with such a fiery passion that I am happy with this result.

 

[Warden of the North]

Ottawa 7 points back with a game in hand. At least the Sharks beat the Devils. WAS-PHI was a three pointer.

We need COL to beat TBL tonight.

 

[mikebel111*]

Now i like lack but come on
This is Loungo. Joke of an organization

****ing Ryan Kesler and crew suck so ****ing bad.
