"I love it when he spreads his legs like that..." - Tom Larscheid on Lumme.

Maybe he wasn't thinking... or did you miss how he got his head mashed into the boards about 3 seconds earlier? Yet he managed to get up, could barely stand, barely had a grip on his stick, and yet he still tried to make the clearing play. I'll forgive that the attempt failed given the never-say-die effort involved. A lot of others missed their assignments leading up to Kes getting creamed, and there were at least a couple other blown plays afterward as well.

we can still take back this series
what we have to do next game is just fill their net with goals
beat them as badly as you can

i love how u told me to gtfo
then u went on about how the canucks sucked last night

Lets talk postive!!!

Canada vs Russia gold metal WHC game is on right now 10min to go in the first Canada is up 1 - 0 w00t!

we can do this~ go CANUCKS GO GO GO!

I HOPE they boys will try to avoid to much penalties and improve the offense!

argh, the few mins and secs of the game + missing the puck .. was frustrating..

but GO CANUCKS GO!

Don't stop believe'n

no one should have thought that this series would be easy
now we'll really see how good this Canuck team is

Uhhhhh no. Although suprises occur in the Play Offs, Vancouver was the heavily favoured team over the Hawks. We were supposed to be the tougher team, supposedly the better defense, the better goaltending, and have the better play off experience. Although Hawks have the edge in offense, it's not like our offensive resources are slacking either when AV has all 3 lines producing. Not sure why AV decided not to utilize them halfway through the series.

That being said, it's a disappointment. And I can't even take injuries or fatigue as an excuse. IIRC, Chicago didn't get any rest between series, and are playing through injuries (Toews def. prob. others too). Yes I'm a fan, but I'm not gonna suck Canuck cock just to avoid the bandwagon comment.

Seems like everyone missed Kesler being driven into the boards prior to him turning the puck over. It should've been a penatly. There was that other instance where Kesler's stick got slashed and had a broken stick. No call, Kesler even showed the Refs the stick. Whoever said this was gonna be a easy series? Canucks in 7

Ppl who wanted Chicago on the 1st round? :confused:

so are we gonna get dimetra back for the next game?
that might be the exrtra offensive touch that we need
get Sundin and Dimetra back together

Haha...true. I secretly wanted Calgary.

That's why fans were throwing shit on the ice - even Hughson commented on how the refs seemed to have put away the whistles after two different Canucks getting hauled down on the forecheck without a call... and then we get called twice in a row, and the resulting powerplays change the game. Granted the Bieksa high stick was really a high stick, but the Kesler holding call was pretty f'n weak considering what BOTH teams had been getting away with the past period-and-a-half.

It ain't over till its over. I believe in the Nucks, this series is coming back to Vancouver for 7 and we're taking that shit too.

Hawks adjusted their play at the point.

Dumb penalties killed us after a 2-1 lead.

I still believe in a game 7 win.

Canucks will regroup realizing their mistakes.

GO CANUCKS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

And sit that POS Pyatt.

this could be a good thing for us if u think about it. Going at the speed we were going we would not make it past the next round. Now at least this will hopefully give us the momentum for a push in the finals. Don't toss you towels in yet I have a feeling theres a lot more hockey to come!!

Russia won gold in the WHC. Canada got silver.

^
So much hockey disappointment this weekend........ even Team Canada can't hold a 1-0 lead and ends up losing :(

As an aside... Braydon Cockburn... what an unfortunate last name.

we're winning this series

Canucks in 7!

Kesler is going to come back hard in games 6, and 7 to make up for his shitty clearing attempt.

Watching the highlights, looks like they played Rolston instead of Mason for the gold medal game.

canucks better force game 7!

any notice that ever since the britney concert, that same spot where kesler was fail has been fail for a lot more players as well??

fuckin britney whore
stay the fuck away
BWAHAHAHHAHA

Couple amusing letters from the Province:

I predict a 4-1 win for the Canucks in game 6, go Canucks go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
