all the corporate seats, pretty much the entire lower bowl. Did you see how many people were still sitting when it showed the crowd right after Calgary scored their first goal?

uh...nothing. did mommy scold you?

if you use your skate and kick the oppenents feet out from under him is a penalty. its called a slewfoot. but for some reason it doesn't get called as often as it should. from my reffing experience its kinda hard to tell whether its intentional or if the skates just got caught up. but usually if a kicking motion is caught, then the penalty would be called


richard zednik is the guy your thinking of

Clearly you didn't appreciate the sarcasm of the post if it wasn't obvious enough. :rolleyes:

I just got back from Save-On Foods. Picked up a Canucks Fan Zone Insider card and free duffle bag. If any of you are stuck trying to activate your card on-line, the ID and password are on the back of the card. There only seems to be a single number on the back next to the words, "Membership #", but you will notice that the number is separated by a hyphen. The ID is the number before the hyphen and the password are the letters after the hyphen. Nobody at the store could figure that one out. It's not mentioned on the web site, either.

As soon as you join, you will get the $40 off coupon that can be used towards the purchase of an adult Canucks jersey. First 1000 people to activate their cards are entered into a draw for a private meet and greet with a Canucks player. 100 people, so 1 in 10 chance to win.

Exclusive invites to Canucks practices, chance to win tickets, VIP contests, events and other exclusive discounts. Thanks again, rb, for the heads up.

lol, I thought Salo's kicking would be a penalty as well. It's more of a "tripping" than using your stick to trip someone. But I saw no retaliation from the Calgary player so I thought maybe it was a legal move or something. Because most players would retaliate on dirty stuff like that.

Trust me, that is not dirty, and it is what you want from our D. Salo did great and is he isn't a dirty player. Unless you guys have played competitive hockey, you guys will never know what goes on down there (front of the net). It's a completely different battle/game apart from hockey itself.

Kesler, Zednik, Mallarchuk. All those incidents weren't from kicking a skate. Those are all freak accidents where they're action caused their skate to fly. Such as falling down, etc.

Are we going to crack down on falling down too :rolleyes:

i did. its why i responed like that..lol

and bettman tried to crackdown on that...idiot

Yeah, and he also tried to enlarge the nets to increase goal scoring. :rolleyes:

Trust me, you're the idiot. Though it isn't legal, it's almost an accepted part of hockey just as fighting. Figure out why the Calgary Forward didn't react? Didn't retaliate?

Slewfooting, cross check/push from behind, stick to the lower back, stick to the pants, that's all not just a common phenomenon, that's a normal phenomenon. These battles in front of the net are just as much part of hockey as fighting. The Canucks know that, Calgary knows that. Every hockey player with a decent amount of IQ knows that the space in front of the net isn't a free space. If you want it, you'd have to fight for it.

Go play some hockey before you start spreading your so-called-expertise. :rolleyes: IDIOT.

Demitra's celebration reminded me of this picture:

I was stoked to see Demitra that happy when we scored. The canucks finally seem to have some heart. Its been so boring the past few years. The trap style they played was brutal. It's good to see goals scored on a rush.

Is it just me or is that a lot of booing?

Sun petition: Join the fight to allow Roberto Luongo to wear the C for the Canucks

good idea, but gary bettman will never listen, he will only allow this if he sees a good marketing

anyways
TSN is taking this too far

no u got it wrong they were saying LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Yeah, Bettman is an idiot.

I find myself posting a lot in this thread since the pre-season/season started. I stopped posting in here last year because it was so negative. Nobody could post an opinion in here without being called a fucking moron, or you're on crack, or learn about hockey before posting, or you obviously haven't laced up or played in your life.

In the past little while, I've seen more and more people post stuff in here that didn't before. That's a good thing, right? If someone screws up, so what? Correct them and do it in a nice way. Hard to do and I'm guilty of being an asshole, too. Why so serious?

Go Canucks Go!!

everyone's entitled to an opinion
but moronic things are too far

i was referring to bettmen as the idiot and was in agreement with you. way to put your foot in your mouth.

thank god you understood me.

i wonder how it feels like to be booed like that and still have to smile and pretend you don't hear it

apparently on this thread, opinions are like assholes, everyones got one and they need to keep it to themselves.

I think the opposite. She makes hockey moms around the world seem stupid. Guns a blazing, redneck, ignorant, bitches. Not the kind of person you want associated with hockey. I gotta admit, though, I find her kind of attractive..... in a weird and kinky way. The librarian type. I can't believe I said that.

Anyway, Fox apparently blocked out most of the booing somehow. It must have been pretty bad live. I feel sorry for her kids who had to go through that....... what do you guys think of her daughter? Not the little one, you pedobears. LOL. The oldest.

I think all politicians take a course on it. Called selective hearing 101. The more they boo, the more you get excited. If her running mate gets elected, she's pretty much set for life. Even if the guy croaks, I don't think others around her would let her make any big decisions. I would like to see this happen. See if there are any checks or balances in the system. OK, maybe not. She could start a war and get all of us wiped off the face of this planet.

Back to hockey........ I can't wait to "hear" tomorrow night's game.

Sorry, I thought the insult was directed at me as I misunderstood your stance on the crackdown.

From one Canuck fan to another, I can man up to my error. I was wrong on this one, my misunderstanding.

I was trying to make a point that the player's skates are razor sharp and any kicking is a bad idea.

I highly doubt Camallari was trying to round house kick Kesler in the head. :cry:
