i would answer the question in the title in the affirmative. we need to trade cloutier and someone like morrsion or jovo to shake up this team. alex auld is not the go-to man; he is a back-up, nothing more. his performance in the edmonton game tonight was so lame, he was not merely the victim of poor team defense. i was hoping we'd get luongo. no way now. i don't see this current canucks' squad going far in the playoffs; they lack both the grit and the goal tending. perhaps when we get cook back, some grit will swell up from the depths of this team. but the canucks need a proven goalie and they will need to spend the loonies to get him. it is too bad they didn't snag the drama-queen of goalies, hasek, prior to the season start. cloutier has shaky nerves and injures easily and under duress, i.e, during a playoff series. i say it is time for the canucks management and owners to decide whether to stay ok and let the current core age into nothingness over the next two years, or to spend the money and give up a morrison or jovo and get this team its missing pieces: a proven goal tender and some grit. i hope they do the latter.

canucks need to trade for a goalie?

last nights game was lame. indeed. some interesting thoughts, I have often thought that when cloutier comes back, the team will have learned how to survive with weaker goaltending, thereby making everything much better at that point...but perhaps making a trade would be sweet. yeah, it is too bad we missed Hasek.
blast.
we don't have cable, not even channel 2, so I cannot comment on our poor team.
except that I really do love the old logo. it's funny, but it's got a simplicity that strikes me as more modern than the current logo.
yes i prefer the older logo, too.
