Lounie Coin
Canuck goalie - money in the bank
Canadian mint announces new coin

The Vancouver Canucks won their 1st-ever NHL Presidents’ Trophy with a team and league record number of wins during the 2010-11 season. As all Canuck fans know, that’s not a guarantee for winning the upcoming Stanley Cup ice hockey playoffs. But now they’ve got “money in the bank” since their all-star goaltender, Roberto Luongo, has been coined by the Canadian mint. Fans started cheering, “Lou! Lou! Lou!” when the Canadian one dollar coin (previously known as the Loonie) was renamed the “Lounie”.   Long time Calgary Flames’ player Theo Fleury predicts that the Canucks won’t make it past the first round in the 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs. And to back up Fleury’s prediction, the Flames (who have been “doused” from the playoffs this year) have requested another coin be minted - the “gLoumie” (aka Gloomie/Gloomy) - just in case Canucks fans experience “the inevitable” this year...  see also Ice Hockey Section 2011 Stanley Cup Final 2012 Stanley Cup Survey Last Canuck Supper Loving Canadian Husband Moonie Coin Orca Season Mel Hardman (aka elvisweathercock) Animations
