News just came out of the Vancouver Canucks leadership that they have decided to equip the Canuck goalie – Roberto Luongo – with a new stick!
The major reason for this decision has not come due to the star goalie’s inability to stop pucks from entering his own net but rather from his inability to put pucks into opponent’s net – inability to score.
This may come as a surprise to many of you hockey fans since what does a goalie have to do with scoring. Well, in Vancouver it may be the key component they are missing in order to produce some potent and enjoyable hockey games.
The logic behind this decision goes like this:
“The best player on our team is the goalie; In fact he is the best goalie in the whole league! So let’s exchange his fat stick for a proper shooting one and he may become the best scoring player on our team; In fact he may be the next Ovechkin!”
It is a good reasoning and I won’t argue that; In fact I said this in January. And it makes total sense because when things are going not so well you should try to do everything with every player you have.
Viva new Luongo’s hockey stick!

We can give our economy a kick start if our backward thinking policticians would allow Vegas Casino,s to accept wagers on-line and ban all other offshore casino,s from accepting wagers in the U.S. This will help our economy by the standard tax rate as with all other forms of legalized gambling. We can almost cut down underage gambling online with new rules and restrictions for new account by I.D. verification via bank account and Driver license verifications before any new account can be set up. Let me know what you think.
