Re: [Hockey] Official 2013 Vancouver Canucks Thread What a unpassionate team the Wild are..........looks like they're all Heatleys. 
And I picked the whole Parise line in my pool,too.

Schroeder gets his 1st and 2nd NHL goals.
Schneider plays great.

I bet Schroeder didn't sleep a wink last night!

Re: [Hockey] Official 2013 Vancouver Canucks Thread 1-0 Canucks at the end of the 1st.
Nice of Luongo to talk to the rookie Wild goalie in the warm-up.
2-1 Canucks final.

| Pretty boring game as usual with the Wild.
What a fiasco this is turning out to be getting Parise and Suter and not getting any offense.
Heatley no points in 9 games..............WTF do I keep picking this fucking loser every year in my pool? -- Sarcasm is the bodys natural defense against stupidity. |

He should be racking up the pts. -- Sarcasm is the bodys natural defense against stupidity. |

 KardinalDei Gratia ReginaPremium join:2001-02-04 N of 49th | I think it's a combination of two things:
His skills are starting to fade a bit and because he's not the fastest skater it's becoming apparent more quickly than if he was more than a one-trick pony (set him up and he shoots),
and
He's a one trick pony. If he's not being set up for a one-timer, he's not really all that much use. He's not a grinder to get the dirty goals close in, he's not going to get a breakaway, and he's not going to force a turnover in the offensive zone.
He's not going to get another contract like his current one. Six year contract and he's on his third team on that contract (Ottawa, San Jose, Minnesota). He's still making $7.5M a year, but he won't be after this contract is up at the end of next season. What's really startling is that he's only just had his 32nd birthday and he's been on the decline for at least the previous two seasons as well. He should be in his prime, but he's on the decline, big style. -- All of us get lost in the darkness, dreamers learn to steer by the stars All of us do time in the gutter, dreamers turn to look at the cars - Peart / Lifeson / Lee Join Team Helix |

He should be in his prime, but he's on the decline, big style. Exceedingly few players are in their prime at 32. The average peak age for a high-end NHL player is 27 (Heatley's production peaked the season he turned 26), so having been on the decline for a few years is really expected. But it's been a much sharper decline than is typical. |
