By Mike Halford KB: How worried are you about the prospect of facing Roberto Luongo? He pretty much beat the Blues by himself, and now he’s pissed because he got passed over for the Vezina. KB: What are the chances we get to see Brent Sopel play this series? He is something of a cult figure here in Vancouver.

By Tyler Wilde If you've ever doubted how much of a hockey city Vancouver is, all you need to do is listen to the spin and buzz around this city over the last couple days over a harmless and rather-clichéd comment Roberto Luongo made Saturday during his "After Hours" interview on Hockey Night In Canada.

That included New York Rangers general manager Glen Sather, who may or may not have been high as a kite considering what he paid Wade Redden. But that's another stoner flick.
