we should of had it

tons of missed opportunities..

lu made some saves when it was needed but we failed to finish those opportunities

Sedins looked very off tonight

its like they didnt know what to do with the puck at times and they couldnt find eachother

raymond needs more practice on his skills... hes got talent ..
but lack of control of puck and his skates

we had alot of chances to win
halak with a nice save on sundin there. 2 breakaways we missed, the almost full 5-3. and wellwood fucking up leading to the 1st goal and its GG. woulda been nice to come back again but we cant bank on that everytime. can't win em all. but if we keep playing the way that we do the pucks will go in. we're still looking good. and i hate to say it but im glad calgary won, keeps the BJ's from catching up a bit

I only saw the 2nd and 3rd but the Nucks looked pretty decent from what I saw.:confused:

Finished with like 36 or 38 shots didn't they? Granted half those were Raymond on the wing from a 10 degree angle....

not sure if its already been posted - Ovechkin nearly kills himself and Mike Green in motor vehicle accident:

oh man .... hahaha that was a close call

Ovie would be a cool guy to hang out with

holy shit almost decapitated them

almost danny heatly'd!

i remember the accident however my mind is foggy about who the passenger was with heats.

^ Dan Snyder

looks like i dident miss much

LOL ov = og

in regards to the game
this silences everyone that MTL was out of it after the allstar break.

Even tho, the canucks are hoovering around the "elite" status in the NHL only becuz on paper, having Luongo is like..having broduer around.

regardless, This loss will shutup all the bandwangoners and we can all get back to watching hockey w/o having to hear it from people that go, OH WE ARE FUCKING AWESOME BECUZ WE BEAT (insert team here)

ROFL Ovechkin!!

thanks. thats it!!!!

Ya, i didn't mind the loss. I think we play the next 8 of 9 or something games at home so the team controls their own destiny.

As for the 1st goal, what's up with the non call trip on Bieksa? Hometown non call i guess lol

Woner if Vigneault will get fined? Seemed like he stopped just short of anything that would get fined I think... guess we'll see :)

Burrows sees homecoming game end early on crucial penalty in loss to Habs
12 hours ago

MONTREAL — This isn't exactly how Alex Burrows envisioned returning to his home province.

The Vancouver Canucks forward, a native of Pincourt, Que., was ejected and given a five-minute cross-checking major on Montreal defenceman Patrice Brisebois in a 3-0 loss to the Canadiens on Tuesday night.

Burrows was penalized at 13:27 of the second period and Montreal scored on the ensuing power play to go ahead 2-0. Afterwards, Burrows took it pretty hard.

"At first I thought he was getting a penalty," said Burrows. "But five minutes and a game, I thought it was a lot.

"I felt like I let the team down, they got their second goal and they ran with the wind."

Canucks coach Alain Vigneault didn't fault Burrows, calling referee Stephane Auger's decision to call a major penalty "questionable."

And that wasn't the only officiating decision Vigneault questioned. The game appeared to turn on the Canucks' inability to capitalize on a two-minute 5-on-3 advantage late in the first. The situation was compounded when Tomas Plekanec scored on a breakaway when he came out of the penalty box to make it 1-0 for the Canadiens.

On the play, Canadiens captain Saku Koivu stripped Kyle Wellwood of the puck, then dove to poke it up to Plekanec, just beating Kevin Bieksa to the puck. But then Koivu, lying on the ice, swung his stick and took out Bieksa's legs as he was trying to get back on the play.

Vigneault thought that non-call, and not the inability to score on the 5-on-3, was the turning point in the game.

"To me it was the missed call when they scored that first goal, it's a clear trip," Vigneault said. "Saku clearly takes Kevin's legs out, everybody sees it, the referees saw it and didn't call it.

"I don't know why."

Later, Vigneault admitted the missed opportunity on the two-man power play really hurt his club. He blamed lethargic play by his players as a reason for their inability to score.

"It was just too slow," he said. "You've got to move that around, make three or four passes and get something to the net.

"We were just very slow moving the puck."

Tuesday's game was Vancouver's fourth straight on the road and seven of its last eight. The Canucks came out of that stretch with six wins but Vigneault felt his team played its best in the two losses.

"I thought we played well enough to get the win here tonight but we didn't and sometimes that happens," Vigneault said. "We played eight games in eight different cities and found a way to win six of them.

"I was just saying to the guys that probably the two best games we played on this trip were Dallas and Montreal, and we lost both of them."

I feel for Burrows. He bought something like 100 tickets to the game so his friends and relatives could watch him play. He was so pumped up for the game. Freaking refs. They probably knew that too. People say Burrows is just a spark on the team and the team seemed to play OK without him. He's more than just a spark. He's the kind of player that attracts attention from the players on the other team. With him gone, it's one less player the opposition has to worry about. It also upsets the lines and it goes on from there. The call was marginal at best. Anyway, life goes on. That Halak had some huge horseshoe up his ass.

Trade deadline is less than a week away!

and we probably won't be doing anything. probably just a depth move kind of thing. not that i'm complaining about it though.

doubt it. The team is trying to make a run THIS YEAR. Thats why they're paying Sundin 5 mil for 4 months or whatever. They're not gonna go into the playoffs with ~4mil in cap space, even if it means giving up some picks/prospects.

Anyone catch Naslunds 2nd fight of his career vs the Leafs? Lol.

^haha i was so surprised when i saw that on the yahoo box score. he must have been super pissed

lol was more of a hugging match than anything
