It's that kind of year. Kass injured =/

kassian hurt... well then :badpokerface:

Brutal hit

On a brighter note, the Canucks have 4 Prospects in the top 10 in Playoff scoring atm.

1# Dane Fox GP5 G6 A6 PTS12
T4# Cole Cassels GP4 G2 A7 PTS9
T7# Bo Horvat GP4 G4 A4 PTS8
T7# Brendan Gaunce GP5 G4 A4 PTS8

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This coaching staff sucks hard at player management

Hansen 4:36
Shredder 3:06
Tostitos 2:54 (this is justifiable)

At least Jensen has ice time... and isn't buried on the fourth line
Probably wont get benched for the whole third period again

TSN in 1st intermission: Torts should get a free pass because of injuries
TSN in 2nd intermission: Kesler has had a rough year because Torts is overplaying him and getting him to block more shots

Dat logic :considered:

Huge bias and stirring shit about Torts getting fired too
Personal opinion, "I think" = truth now

same guys that said Tavares wants out of NYI

:fuckthatshit:

St Louis, finally! :woot2:

With the 6th overall the Vancouver Canucks selects............. :whistle:

Motherfucker does jack shit when I trade for him and now he's scoring AFTER I get bounced because him and Richards did jack shit over the past 2 weeks

:fuuuuu:

SOLD ST.LOUIS TO THIS GUY
DIDN'T COME BACK AND KICK MY ASS IN PLAYOFFS

sucker

fucking scumbag Burrows

Because, as everyone knows, you can't deliver a body check to a player who is being checked by another player ...

Shall we outlaw body checking or just outlaw Burrows?

yup, bought my tickets for games in florida, chicago, new york and montreal off that site.

I noticed that watching the gif replay, Burrows does get his hands up.

But when McDonagh gets hit to begin with, I really doubt Burrows was thinking head-shot. It looks to me like it just came about that way since Kassian pushes him into Burrows.

Plus McDonagh was holding his shoulder, and didn't appear to be hit in the head (instant-pain reaction, cradling shoulder, etc).

Not sure why you're calling him a scumbag.

gdoh: try seatgeek.com

it is more comprehensive.

lol what a fucking piece of shitty shit

how dare that fucking kunt finish his check? FUCK HIM

10 game suspension pl0x

Watching that gif over and over, its good that he brought his hands up. If he used his shoulder it woulda burried his head into the glass.

Not a major in my eyes..

Burrows blindsides him but that's McDonagh's fault for putting himself into that position

however Burrows gets his hands up around the head, better than driving the shoulder into the head

NY may of lost arguably the best player aside from Lundqvist just a few games before the playoffs, is it fair to say if the Canucks had lost Kesler or another one of their star players to a hit like that in the last few seconds of a game on the verge of going into the playoffs on a hit like that, you as a Canucks fan would be upset also?

How is that McDonagh's fault? What could he have done differently? He didn't change his position prior to going in the boards, he actually went in the safest possible way.

Burrows made a poor decision, but i dont think its as bad as it looks.

If McDonagh put himself in that position as you say (I disagree because he was getting hit already by Kassian, but semantics), then Burrows couldn't have blindsided him. If you're on the boards retrieving the puck and your shoulder is facing the boards, if you don't see a person straight-on you can expect to get hit from the side. Not much blindsiding can happen in that case.

Yeah of course I'd be upset, but that's hockey. There's no "hey guys take it easy out there because the other team is in the playoffs and we're not. Wish them the best" mentality for any team in the NHL, playoff-bound or not. Athletes in professional leagues are the most competitive people out of a pool of the most competitive people on the planet. You'd be naive to think that teams would just let up because the playoffs are around the corner for the team you're playing against.

I'd give that thought a pass if Burrows was so clearly head-hunting. But in this case he happened to hit a guy already in the process of being hit. It wasn't a devastating hit like that dumbass Murray, but McDonagh was hurt on the play. Shit happens.
