Dude....your expectations is a lil too high.

maybe urs a lil too loww??

Oh geeze....here we go again.

Illuminate said it best...."Hype train at full speed."

THEY WON ONE GAME!!!! and you're calling it a quarter sweep....not to mention THE 2009 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!

if u aint kno, imma pshycic

.

Let me put things in perspective...

If anyone recalls that annoying fat kid from High School that knows NOTHING about sports, yet keeps on ranting on how great their hometeam is, and how every other teams sucks, blows, etc...?

Thats what you sound like.

[/simon cowell voice]

Thas funny except the thing is i prolly kno a bit more about sports than u and ive been a canucks fan since i was 4 so i do kno quite a bit about my favourite team. And wut u gotta say to dat 3-0 Win Tonight? Exactly wut i thought. I kno were sweeping it and ull see after 2 games.

Well, lets hope they win the rest of the games of the playoffs.....nobody wants to be seeing you cry when you jump off the bandwagon.

as soon as the game ended last night i went on enterprize rent-a-car's website and priced out renting a car. me and 2 buddies were set to head to St Louis at 6am this morning. haha 3407kms from my front door to the arena.

shit thas dope tell me if there were alotta canucks fans there

we didnt end up going. we will probably go if we run into san jose tho

hey RayBot now can u say SWEEEEPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care as long as they make it to the next round...

Why would I care if they sweep??? And i am sure people that have Canucks in their playoff pools wouldn't mind even if they played to game 6.

But yeah...please don't cry when they lose a single game. I've seen fans like you all around....and its embarassing.

man, i love the canucks now, its a real team with everything working! they are seriously hustling 3rd period now!

seeing them fight for the puck, now thats hockey!

that was an intense game.. but if they keep giving upt 5-3 to teams like anahim or wings .. we will get burned!!!

thas true but i kno theyll tigten up the D later down the cup run.

the proverbial bandwagon comes with state-of-the-art 5-point racing harness seat belts yet most fans refuse to wear them and every time it hits a speed bump, half the capacity gets thrown off. true fans buckle up! sure, there may be a smooth strip of road right now, but if vancouver canucks history has taught us anything, it's that there is a monster bump waiting patiently around one of the next few corners.

Am I the only person bothered by his writing style?

And the people that openly state "I know more about sports than you" usually don't because if they really did, they wouldn't have to point it out!

Just to spite you, I hope STL wins game 4 so that:
a) it won't be a sweep
b) the Canucks will win the series at home after game 5

i'll take grade three spelling for $500, Alex.

I didn't want to mention it...

But WHO CARES about his writing style??? He knows lots about sports!

i jus made this thread to be used as a fun canucks chat place about the playoffs. But haters love talkin so keep talkin. wuts wrong wit my writing style, if it bothers u dont read my post. thanks.

Your writing style doesn't bother me...because you know lots about SPORTS!!

By the way.....everybody here was having a discussion. The only person that wasn't having a discussion was you. Because the Canucks are going to sweep, they are going to win the Stanley Cup, no ifs or buts, 2009 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!! Woot Woot Baby!!


But its okay.....because you know lots about SPORTS!

someone correct me if im wrong here.

the playoffs dont run like a tournament where the winner of bracket A plays the winner of bracket D, and B and A. for each round, each matchup is reorganized and put together based on the end of the regular season seeds.

for example if these teams win round 1,
1-SJ
8-ANA

2-DET
7-CAR

3-VAN
6-STL

4-CHI
5-CAL

the matchups for round 2 will be
2-DET
8-ANA

3-VAN
5-CAL

correct?

Yep.....in pretty much all pro sports with a LOONG season, they use the Top-Bottom Seat Bracket style for every round for a single consistent reason...


This is the ultimate benefit and the reason why its important to do well throughout the entire regular season, not just making the Top 8. This pretty much determines whether you are going to have Home Ice advantage for most of the playoffs, or gonna be on the road for most of the playoffs.

The only reason i say there going to be stanley cup champs is because this is their best equipped team in a long time, also the the most well rounded. Winning the cup would be a stretch but if any nucks team could do it that would be this one.
