Oh yeah, and looking at the +/-'s right now, it's Ovie #1, Burrow's #2, Ehrhoff #3, Henrik #4 and Daniel #5.

The section i was in there was a loud guy wearing a Sabres jersey. When they scored (the goal that was disallowed), he started cheering. When they waved it off a guy from like 5 rows down came down and started pointing at him and laughing. Then, when they called the guy whose goal was disallowed a penelty he came back and pointed and laughed even harder...:haha:

Ladd seems like a cocky individual. March 5th mark your calendars!!

Ladd's response to Keslers "coward" comments.

I mean I like Kesler but I would honestly rather he kept his mouth shut.. Its kinda embarrassing for a player to whine to the media about being hit in the face during a game

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER -- The Vancouver Canucks plan to meet with staff of the CBC's Hockey Night in Canada over its criticism of Alex Burrows, general manager Mike Gillis said Tuesday.

Gillis wouldn't say what approach the Canucks will take after host Ron MacLean criticized the Canuck winger after he said NHL referee Stephane Auger was out to get him.

"I apologize but I really don't want to say what the factors are that we're considering," Gillis said as he watched the Canucks practise. "We're going to meet with them and we're going to see what their reaction is and go from there."

The Canucks have solidly backed Burrows and refused CBC interview requests during Saturday night's 5-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks as a form of protest.

A team spokesman said the meeting is planned for Friday when the Canucks are in Toronto but might have to be conducted by phone.

HNIC staff would be in several remote locations because of the program's Hockey Day In Canada special that features three games involving Canadian teams.

The Canucks play the Maple Leafs in the first game of Vancouver's pre-Olympic eight-game, 18-day road trip.

Burrows, who is currently on a 12-game points streak, said Auger approached him during the warmup prior to a 3-2 loss to Nashville on Jan. 11.

The Vancouver forward said the official told him he would "get him back" for embarrassing Auger by embellishing a major penalty to Predator Jarred Smithson the last time the two clubs met.

Smithson also received a game misconduct which the league later rescinded.

In the Jan. 11 game, Burrows was called for diving, interference and unsportsmanlike conduct and assessed a 10-minute misconduct.

He was in the penalty box for interference and the Canucks down two men late in the game when the winning goal was scored.

MacLean took Burrows to task in a pre-game segment Jan. 16 and showed incidents of Burrows embellishing penalty calls, spearing, punching and trash-talking to an opponent.

The Gemini Award-winning commentator, who is a certified referee, said he doubted an NHL official would tell a player he wanted to exact revenge for duping him into a penalty.

Canuck coach Alain Vigneault defended his player when he appeared on the CBC's After Hours show following MacLean's comments and the Canucks' 6-2 win over Pittsburgh.

Burrows has said he appreciates the backing from team management and players but also wants to move on from the controversy.

I've effectively moved on from the Burrows-Augier incident.

The 4 vs. 3 PP against EDM giving us the come-from-behind win, and last night's disallowed goal + the sketchy 2 man PP did a lot to help even things out for me.

If you're Ryan Miller watching the play bearing down on you, are you more worried about the hasn't-scored-in-two-years plug following up the play, or the hot-handed first-line Swede carrying the puck?? :D

he is fun to listen too

6 goals for the caps... 0 pts for ovechkin :eek:!

Some food for thought.

Through 52 games this year, the 09/10 Canucks point total is the most ever by a Canuck team in its 40+ years history.

With high playoff expectations, this prob doesn't mean a lot for many fans.

Big Kes fan too but the only way he doesn't sound like a whiner is if he definitively wins that fight - then Ladd can't say shit - but he didn't and Ladd left his mark. Kes should've kept it to himself and just went after him in the next meeting.

I missed it... What did Kes say to Ladd??

^ He called Ladd a "coward" for cross checking him in the face when he wasn't looking during last year's playoffs and that this time he was man enough to face him when he's looking.

The one with Versteeg doesn't look tooo bad :)

Damn, Best Buy club sounds good but I checked and tix are damn 400$$?? :(
