<p>I think Fleury is still way too inexperienced and young to be an elite starter that he has a potential to be. I think that's why they got Thibault, but he has proven himself to be one of the worst goaltenders in the entire league.</p>
<p>So.... that coupled with any lack of defensive defensemen... is a formula for missing the playoffs, which is really too bad.</p>
<p>Cornell hockey sucks</p>
<p>jrcho88... if you gave him 2 solid blueliners, i'd bank on fleury getting close to 25-30 wins, and a sub 3 gaa</p>
<p>I don't think just 2 defensemen would solve the problem.</p>
<p>Look: Fleury is an awesome goalie, but he can't steal games all by his own yet. He needs a team in front of him.</p>
<p>good point... luongo comes to mind</p>
<p>Speaking of goaltending, Canucks need to trade for a real goaltender</p>
<p>alex auld is doing a commendable job</p>
<p>He is doing a commendable job, especially as a 24-year old sophomore in the league.</p>
<p>However, he still has lots to learn. He needs to back-up a veteran or established goaltender. He is not starter material quite yet (esp. mentally)</p>
<p>u can only blame the canucks, considering boston has noronen available, boston has raycroft or toivonen available, and phoenix has boucher available...</p>
<p>Raycroft is definitely an option. I doubt Boston will trade Toivonen.</p>
<p>Also, Biron from the Sabres is also an option. As for Boucher, doesn't he make a lot of money? I'm not 100% sure on this, but he might not fit under the cap.</p>
<p>lol boucher? phoenix is damn poor, and i believe he was hurt in his arbitration year ;) about biron, probably not gonna be traded since he's been so much better than biron lately</p>
<p>ummm.... yeah! micheal vick skates really well!! and u gotta love his fast breaks!!</p>
<p>watching the penguins makes me sad</p>
<p>they were hyped up pretty badly this off season...they looked good on paper</p>
<p>Well, they're like the NY Rangers from the 03-04 season. Looks good on paper; no chemistry --> failure --> misses the playoffs</p>
<p>speaking of successful hockey products of cornell...has anybody ever heard of this guy named ken dryden? Might have been a goalie i think...lmao ;)</p>
<p>He's a Liberal Party cabinet minister now</p>
<p>Is it difficult to get hockey tickets in advance? How about season tickets?</p>
