Makes it sound like we completely lucked our way to the Cup. **** that franchise.

Quick saved our butts big time last season! Have you forgotten about those 10+ games where we didnt score or only scored ONE goal, yet we lost by just one goal. Quick stood on his head game in and game out when this team couldn't hit the side of a barn. There is no doubt in my mind that Quick was the catalyst for us getting into the playoffs and then taking us all the way to the top.

The Luongo trade, or non-trade, which has taken on a life of its own with the way Schneider started the season (five goals on 14 shots before being pulled Saturday), could happen soon, or in a month, or not at all.
“We have a potential deal in place with one team that has to do something with another player that they have — and it’s not who anybody thinks it is — and so we have to wait. (But) we’ve been offered packages that don’t fit what our plan is, what we need,” said Gillis.

I'm pretty sure Ek will be jerking off to this one
