As the Vancouver Canucks cleaned out their lockers and met with the media on Thursday following their four-game, first round exit from the playoffs at the hands of the San Jose Sharks, general Manager Mike Gillis said he is ready to make major adjustments to his roster. "Were going to do a thorough review of everything in the organization. Five years ago we reset. Its time to do it again," said Gillis as he answered questions on lineup changes and head coach Alain Vigneaults future. "There are a couple of significant changes we need to make to get players we need to compete." When asked if goaltender Roberto Luongo would be a member of the team next season, Gillis said it would be, "unlikely." As far as other changes are concerned, Gillis is already aware of the direction he needs to take his roster moves. "If you take Cory as a No. 1 goaltender, hes at the prime of his career; our defence is at their prime," said Gillis. "We need to get younger. "Weve tried offer sheets and trades at deadline. Were going to have to find a bold move." Luongo started the first two games of the series in place of injured keeper Cory Schneider and believes that his time as the No. 1 choice for the Canucks is over. "Whats happened over the last two years suggests that maybe its not my time to be the starter here anymore," said Luongo on Thursday. Luongo added that Schneider was hard pressed to find success trying to get back into the flow of the series after missing the opening games. "Cory was put in a tough spot being asked to play without much practice time after his groin injury," said Luongo. As for his future, Luongo knows he might have to move to another team to get his opportunity. "I still have a lot to give. If its here or elsewhere, that remains to be seen," he said. Luongo does, however, think his place is on the ice and not on the bench. "My main goal is to be a starter, I want to play, he said. "At the end of the day, thats what I want." Schneider, for his part, took some of the blame for the two games the team lost while he was in net. "I didnt get the job done," he said. "I didnt play well enough." Schneider also confirmed that it was a groin injury that forced him out of the first two games of the series. Hunter Renfrow Raiders Jersey .

Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. Marcus Allen Youth Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well.With the second round of the NBA Playoffs underway, here my five quick thoughts from the NBA and NCAA. 1. Vinny Del Negro and Larry Drew (Clippers & Hawks): We saw this earlier this month with P.J. Carlesimo and Jim Boylan, who were both interim coaches. Sometimes even if you get your team to the playoffs, your job is still in jeopardy. Now both Del Negro and Drew await news about whether theyll be retained. I think both of these guys did a good job under their specific circumstances particularly with injuries popping up. The Clippers job, if it opens, will be the job, assuming they can retain Chris Paul, that many available coaches will be all over. Atlanta? A lot will depend on what GM Danny Ferry is able to do with free agency. The club has a lot of cap space and the club needs to retain Josh Smith. This job is a bit of a leap of faith for a coach, as he will have to likely accept the job before the July 1 recruiting Period and hope like crazy for the best. 2. George Karl (Nuggets): Congratulations on winning NBA Coach of the Year. Its well-earned and well-deserved. Its great to see a man like this battle cancer and bounce back big-time. Karl is one of the most innovative and creative coaches in the past 25 years in the league. He has a nice team in Denver and when the group is healthy, the Nuggets are a legit top four team in the West for the near future. Take into account the wonderful home court advantage they have, theyre always in the discussion as a good/very good team. Karls teams are fun to watch and he gets a lot out of them. While the Nuggest got upset by the Warriors and that stings, Im sure when the coach reflects on where he has come from and where hes got that thing headed, hell see theyre in good shape and thankfully so is he. 3.dddddddddddd Ryan McDonough (Suns): The 33-year-old is the general manager of the Suns after a nice stint as Assistant GM in Boston for Danny Ainge. Hes young but hes paid his dues and been around and contributed to the success of a very good organization. Im all for new/young guys getting their shot. We need some new blood and fresh ideas instead of the constant NBA retread mentality. McDonough will have his hands full in Phoenix. The talent level is way down yet its an attractive market to lure good players to. A Great opportunity. Good for him. 4. Anthony Bennett (UNLV): Hell be the top Canadian drafted this year in the NBA Draft before Kelly Olynk. Hell likely be a top five-to-ten selection. Bennett announced that hes going to have surgery on a torn rotator cuff. Will it hurt his draft stock at all? Likely not. All the scouts Ive spoken to have their book on him and are all quite comfortable with him and his game. I dont think its a big concern. Hes going to be a good pro. 5. Andrew Wiggins: This Canadian could end up being the first overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft if he has a good year as a freshman in the NCAA. The recruiting battle is down to four Schools: (Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas and Florida State). Obviously, if any of you have seen this young man, hes got a chance to be a program changer type guy in college and IF, there will a lot of hype and distractions which will serve as a good test of his dedication and focus, he works his tail off at his game and body hes got a chance to be a special player at the pro level. Potential vs. productivity, its what separates the great from the good. Ive got my fingers crossed that he listens to the right voices and stays true to what being a great player is all about. The potential is there, we all know that, now the true test will start to truly happen in near future. This will be a fascinating story. ' ' '
