Where do we go from here? Stick with Luongo or what?

I personally think we should, but anything could happen

Luongo should have been pulled when it was 2-0, to give him a reality check. Vancouver played like crap today. Very depressing.

Canucks need to remain composed and pop some pucks past him.
He looked so sad in the interviews the first two games.
He has all the rights to grin and act cocky to throw us off right now.

So yes, even if Lu gets a shutout in game 5, you gotta consider letting him sit for game 6.

Coming home always helps the players this time of year and the fans at Rogers arena are going to give them that extra push Friday.

Sweep? no. Not getting blown out two games in a row. Yes.



As many have said already, Canucks lose the next game, they're most likely done.
Because there's absolutely no reason to believe they will win in Boston if they lose at home.
The only chance they have now is if home crowd can boost them at this point.
And I guess having last change did make a difference last time.

Anyone know if Rome's in the dressing room boosting the team morale? or is he sulking at home now?
Win it for Rome?? (Can we still say win it for Manny, since he's back now??)

I think when the first 4 games are split 2-2, it's like 8-2 in favour of the home team or something like that.

All is not lost, but if they play the way they have been, it will be.

But realistically... Highly doubt Luongo will be stealing any games at this point. He's so down in the dumps.
Only if the team as a whole, supporting each other, work their asses off, will they win another game this series.

[Ronin]

My only problem is in the two Canuck wins, Boston had some good things to take from those games. The scoreboard made the games look closer than they were but still, they had positives.

The Canucks don't have anything in these two games to build on. The came out flat-footed and got burned. No intensity or urgency in their game. If they went out there and left it all on the ice, no one can blame them for coming up short but to lose 12-1 in two games is just terrible.

I think a number of them are playing through injury but guess what, it's the Stanley Cup Finals...everyone still playing is injured and if they aren't injured, they probably aren't playing hard enough. Trevor Linden scored two goals for us in game 7 with what was suspected to be broken ribs.

The Canucks need to regroup and play the next period like their lives depend on it. They need to pounce early and get the momentum back.

I strongly disagree that this is a season of destiny.

That would suggest that regardless of how good or bad the Canucks are, the final result is predetermined.

This was the best team in the league during the regular season for a reason and they are in the finals for a reason. They have to show this in game 5.

Look at their depth and what they have accomplished. Not a team of destiny. They are here for a reason.

It certainly helps if Lu can play lights out, but the problem is two-fold. He can play shutout hockey, but the team hasn't been able to score. Canucks have scored 5 goals in 4 games, Luongo would have to shutout every game to win.

as for bruins being healthier, you are right... the teams the bruins had to play to get to the finals have been smaller teams that didnt do much bruising... the canucks on the other hand.. had to face the preds, and sharks in the last 2 rounds who have big boys that can hit.. the hawks weren't slouches either.. oh well.. they gotta dig deep and finish checks. hopefully home ice prevails..

So how good is Tanev? I don't recall seeing him play.

[SkinnyPupp]

Tanev is way too small to play the Bruins IMO

[Bonjour43MA]

We're letting Boston in our heads now and not playing our game. The D men are backing off and the forecheck's not consistent enough. Thomas has gotten into the players' heads as well and they're not shooting instinctively and thinking way too much. Henrik and Kesler both look nowhere close to being healthy and Hamhuis's absence on that top D pairing is really having a negative impact on the rest of the D group.

I don't really blame Ballard that much because he was thrown into a situation he's never been in before and the nerves probably got to him a little, but he did play better as the game progressed.

The bounces have been going to Boston's way but I think the'll even out in the end.

Lots of questionable calls but in the end if we're 1 for 20 something on the PP, we don't deserve to complain about not having chances.

We'll win game 5, and it'll be 50/50 in Boston, but ultimatelly we'll still win the cup.

Game 5 will be the biggest game this team's ever played and they MUST at least show up and compete at a high level.

Go 'nucks go.

Tanev takes hits ALOT, but he is like a rubber band man on them. Yes he is a small body than Ballard or Alberts, but we need a right handed dman i think.

we gotta stay positive. Take it one game at a time, forget we won 2 in a row and forget we lost 2 in a row. Its best out of 3 now and as long as the canucks play the way we've seen them play all season, we will be fine.

That starts with staying away from all that BS and take the calls as they come. Most importantly, we have to make them pay when were on the powerplay, that was our bread and butter all season.

Regardless whether the Canucks take the Cup this year or not, they will forever have my support.

They played a helluva season and playoff. They made it this far and they're not through yet. They need our support more than ever and we oughta give it to them.

Yes, we were absolutely demolished in games 3 and 4. Tim Thomas was phenomenal and the Canucks were not in their A-game, to say the least. But hey, the series is far from over.

We're still the same team that won against them in games 1 and 2 (with a shut-out and only 1 GA by Bobby Lou). This is still the same team that exorcised and defeated the defending SC champs. This is the same team that won the President's trophy and we're sure as hell still the same team that is only two games away from finally winning the Stanley Cup after 41 long years.


We are all Canucks indeed! Bring it home boys! :D

Honestly though where the fuck was all our speed from GM 1 to first period in GM 3?

We stopped skating completely in these past two games. Ppl kept saying we're getting boxed out, we're getting out hit and Bruins are so much better. Yes because the Canucks are not skating and are playing at the speed level the Bruins can skate in.

I've always thought of the fan was as important as the player. Without us, they might as well not play. Without fans, there's no professional sports.

It's not about whether or not fans have influence on how they play or not. I'm well aware the hockey gods will probably not care about my terrible playoff beard but it's about solidarity. I'd do anything within my power to tip the scales even the smallest of fractions.

Does anyone find Facebook status' after losses extremely annoying? The thing that really gets me is people who instantly jump to blaming Luongo for every single goal. People who haven't played the game at a high level or at all don't know how fast everything is moving, and one tiny bounce can swing the game in a whole different direction. Obviously Lui could have played better, but everyone always can. The only goal I can really fault Lui on is the first goal, where he was cheating a bit and expecting the shot a second sooner than it was released. The stats over the past 2 games are deceiving, because the team has been pretty awful as a whole.

Adding to that is the fact that our defence has looked absolutely wretched the past 2 games, injured or not, they just aren't playing at the level they needed to to win the past 2 games. Pinching at the worst of times, being caught flat footed, etc etc.

You also have to consider the fact that the Canucks could not put the puck in the back of the net. Blame Lu all you want, but 1 goal over the course of 2 games in the SCF is just not good enough. Despite the facts that the reffing has been atrocious, our powerplay has been extremely lack luster and it was something that propelled us to the top of the regular season standings. The Canucks need to get back to playing their game.

Stop blaming Lui when this is a team sport, lose as a team or win as a team. Live and die by Lui, we'll get the job done on Friday.

Go Canucks go!

Cant wait for this epic series to continue on Friday! We are two wins away from the Stanley Cup, that is all that should matter right now.

Go Canucks Go!

[rsx]

How is this solid?

It's hockey man, Timmy's saying Burrows kept interfering with the butt end, obviously, Thomas being the gamer that he is took the opportunity (4-0) game to slash Burrows. Goalies have been known to do this before.

It makes for an interesting series. Hell, hopefully it wakes the Canucks up a bit.

[shawn79]

reading two wins away from the stanley cup everytime i click this thread hurts me more than we were 2 goals away from the stanley cup in 94.

[spoon.ek9]

i'm not sure what else can be said or done at this point (by us). old man is right, outcome of the game is entirely on the players on that ice. but! i will retain my playoff beard as a sign of faith. again, win or lose this is my team and i am proud of what has been accomplished thus far in the '10/'11 season.

canucks need to show up with their "A" game the rest of the way. we are the better team, we just need to start showing it again. and please, could we stop talking about the EA prediction? it's grasping at straws and desperate when all you're clinging too is a prediction based on a video game.

i mentioned this long before the playoffs but i would like to say it once more. the canucks may or may not win the cup this year. thankfully, our cap has been managed much better than chicago's and we have our core players locked up at relative discounts. this of course means we won't have to be dismantled to the degree that chicago's roster did.

now that we've come this far, of course i want to see them win but i will be just as happy to see them play again next season either way. this is clearly the best the franchise has ever been since it's creation in all facets of the game.

Eh, it's two games in a row where Thomas has crossed the line imo. If he's allowed to do that kind of shit to the players without punishment, once he's outside the blue paint he should be fair game. Obviously those aren't the rules of hockey, but hypothetically speaking of course. Thomas shouldn't be allowed to parade around doing whatever he pleases due to his "unorthodox" style.

Couldn't agree more. I don't know why Oreskovich didn't just run Thomas over when the game got out of hand, I mean seriously, are we really going to miss 38?

[b0unce. [?]]

honestly though, its fair game for thomas. i think we're making his job too easy most of the time. he's getting away with a lot of shit cause we are letting him. i think the second he steps onto white ice, rough him up a bit. he knows he's in his safety zone as long as he's touching blue paint.

[kristianhay]

Couldn't agree more. I don't know why Oreskovich didn't just run Thomas over when the game got out of hand, I mean seriously, are we really going to miss 38?

I thought the same. A message needs to be sent, Tim Thomas needs to be fucked with to get him off his game. Getting pretty sick of his arrogance because the league lets him do whatever he wants.

[BNR32_Coupe]

they shouldve injured thomas instead of horton

[shawn79]

bruins are 4-0 when series is 2-2

[b0unce. [?]]

tbh i think oreskovich isn't that bad. he can skate/hit pretty well. for a 4th line grinder/energy player, he makes use of his 8 or so minutes of ice time he gets. you could argue that he isnt producing, but hey, neither is mason raymond.

[twitchyzero]

canuck fans are so spoiled, they expect to sweep boston :haha:
this is the stanley cup finals

i agree with but this is two major blows in a row

[kristianhay]

Stats don't mean anything, all about the now. :fullofwin:

[6thGear.]

So far EA's SIM program is looking dead on!

[Ronin]

It's not the loss. It's the way they lost. If they clawed and worked and lost by a goal or two, sure...but they looked slow, tired and injured in their losses while the Bruins were still in the games they lost.

The Canucks need to get back to playing their game. Use their skill, burn teams on the PP, pass around hard forechecks, etc. Right now they're being sucked into the Bruins game and it's getting in their heads like Chicago was in their heads.

Look at Thomas' mental toughness. He got burned in both games 1 and 2 in brief moments after being incredible for most of the game. If he broke down mentally, everyone would know why but no, he bounces back and stops everything except one puck in two games at home.

If the Canucks don't lose at home, they aren't in trouble but boy, they looked terrible these two games...just tired and slow.

[Bonka]

i agree with but this is two major blows in a row

Been here before :fullofwin:

[fliptuner]

Yup definately getting dragged into Boston's game - totally agree with Ronin.

We need to stay mentally tough and play Canucks hockey.

Think of it as a new, 3 game series and start fresh. You know how we like to show up for Game 1's.

[EmperorIS]

I told you...
Game 7 OT3 Malhotra Game Winning Goal

[n3wb]

Game 7 OT3 Luongo Game Winning Goal

[Harvey Specter]

I think only 4 teams have won the cup when down 2-0. We'll pull out a win Friday, after that it's tough to call. I think it might go 7 games because it seems like the Canucks can't win in Boston.

[AzNightmare]

Pisses me off:


How is this solid?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4VzMGq_y1Y


He claimed players have been chopping the butt end of his stick.
We clearly see Burrows doing that once in this video, knocking the stick out of Thomas' hand. Burrows initiated it. It's a 4-0 game, and Thomas basically said, "fuck this!" and sent a message.

I actually like this kind of attitude. If it was Luongo, playing his calm and collected style, he'll just stand around and talk about not being distracted, staying focus, while letting everyone take runs at him. Just how many times did you wish Luongo would have fucked up Byfuglien or any other blackhawk that was constantly harrassing him in the previous years, but it just never happened.


;7465326']honestly though, its fair game for thomas. i think we're making his job too easy most of the time. he's getting away with a lot of shit cause we are letting him. i think the second he steps onto white ice, rough him up a bit. he knows he's in his safety zone as long as he's touching blue paint.

We definitely are. I don't know if penalties will be called or not if Canucks run into Thomas if he's outside of the blue. There's the controversy of that situation, and the league knows how Thomas' plays. Perhaps the refs might just put their whistles away if Thomas gets run over if he's outside of the blue paint. It's hard to experiment that now, cause the next 3 games are way too important. Canucks should have sent the message last game or today.
Not enough crashing when he's outside his crease.

Today's effort was so piss poor, I can't even recall did Thomas have to make a second effort on a rebound save tonight.

[shawn79]

better not go to game 7 i got a midterm 830am in the morning

Man oh man, Friday can't come fast enough.

Tomorrow is gonna be an annoying day though. Some hater bitch sits behind me in one of my classes and she never keeps her mouth shut when we lose.

Agree on the slow and tired part. Not to mention it seems like they have no energy left or even the moviation to play. Not to mention at times they just seem to be day dreaming and when the pressure comes they panic. Even he Giants play better I must say.

[Tim Budong]

RS meet at YVR?? :fullofwin:

[n3wb]

I'm going to go right ahead and say it:

Dan Hamhuis will go down as the best defenseman to ever wear a Canuck jersey.


Though I have complete faith in the Canucks to get their shit together, I don't think people realize exactly how much Hamhuis means to this team...

[Ronin]

Hammer isn't coming back. He was sitting on the bench in a suit...not even warmups. He's probably done.

We need Ballard to step the fuck up. He's probably totally healthy. Cry all you want about AV and whatever but he's getting paid $4.2 million, he should play like he's at least going to earn half of it.

Edler and Ehrhoff look off too. Edler has looked tired since early in the SJ series and Ehrhoff is making mistakes. Without Hammer to play steady defense, we need Ballard or Salo to step up into that shutdown role with Juice.

As per Berzerker's post a couple pages.

Ok Guys not sure if you all already know this as I am not going to go back page by page to check so if it's already public then my apologies but if not.... here's the inside scoop on Hammerhouse.

As some of you know I live in Smithers now and the town is all about the Hamhuis love. I watched the game at his Aunts house tonight and was told that he will be needing Surgery on his Groin and will not be making a return to the playoffs.

Again I don't know if this is made public yet but as a loyal RS member I couldn't have knowledge like that and NOT share it with the rest of you.

Get well soon Danny the Nucks wouldn't be where they are without you.

[n3wb]

lol, Hamhuis has only been with us for less than a season.

What're you talkin' bout? He signed with us in the off-season...& what's your point?

[goo3]

i watched the first two periods again.. the new D pairings were out of sync

not only ballard/bieksa, but alberts/salo had some 'communication' issues too when they were playing together

3rd period was garbage time so don't use that to judge how well schneider played.. that said, i think he's capable and we shouldn't be afraid to hook luongo quick if we fall behind - for a wake up call and to give the bruins a different look with his puck handling and as a reflex goalie. The same weak spots on Luongo are not the same weak spots on schneider....

[Spidey]

i don't mind if schneider plays game 5, but if they win game 5 with corey in net, there is no way Lu is back in.. that said.. if the nucks end up winning the cup with corey in net... lu will stil be criticized to the death of him lol. I don't think AV will take Luongo out, even though he looks fatigued.

4 goals against or not, the fact is, it was 1-0 for half the game. The Canucks could not score. They got shots on net but they were very bad quality chances from the outside. Their powerplay really needs to start picking it up and making the Bruins pay for their dirty shots. If the PP doesn't start clicking, or their top 2 lines don't start doing something, this series will be over in 6. I realize how hard of a road the Nucks have took to get to the Cup compared ot the Bruins in terms of physicality. It would be very dissapointing to see them end up losing in the Finals, but it is very understandable that they are just physically and mentally done.

Hopefully they can get some extra push at home, and the line matches they want. Maybe it is time to put Burrs back with Kes, and throw in Oreo or someone in the first line. Raymond has been non existent and should maybe be on the 3rd line with Hansen

And for fucks sake, put Salo on the first unit Pp. There's no reason to have 2 left handed point men on the PP. They need to off wing shot for one timers, where either Salo or Edler can go back and forth and set each other up for the rocket... Ehrhoff needs to sit the Pp since he seems too tired to even play even strength, and hasn't hit the net (unless it is from centre) since game 1 round 1

A reason why the Nucks may have looked slow could be because of the ice. I know when I play on shitty/softer ice, it really really takes a toll on you. You exert so much more energy to move and it just doesn't feel right. The longer the game goes, the worse it gets.. With that said, they should be able to get their skates adjusted and sharpened according to those conditions to a certain degree. If the Canucks show up on friday and look good and speedy, that just may be the reason. I doubt they will be physically refreshed from Wed to Friday, so it may just be the bad ice that hindered a speedy skilled Canuck team rather than the bruins, who are used to their crappy ice.

[Spidey]

Bullshit.

Thomas would have stopped every single one of those.

Cheering him getting pulled is brutal, but Luongo's on the hook for those plays.

How can you say a goalie could have saved a certain shot? On a different night, Lu probably could have saved those 2 shots too, if it didn't deflect of anyone or anything. You can't blame shots that change direction on goalies. When they make the save, you are lucky and glad they did. If anything, Salo was to blame for not letting Lu get a clear view/ not do a better job deflecting the shot. The one off the body in front of the net were just flukes.

I'm just saying that in the last 2 games, Thomas has played at a level where it seems almost nothing will go in.

I guess people would not be up in arms if I had said "IN MY OPINION" Thomas would have saved those, but whatever. That SHOULD be inferred. Obviously I don't KNOW FOR A FACT that one goalie will stop certain shots. But so far, Thomas has played as well or better than expected, which in combination with the Canucks now anemic power play, makes him look unbeatable.

Thomas was pretty lights on in game 3.. especially when it counted.. lu played great in the first period as well.. I actually thought the Canucks played better for most parts of game 3 than they did in all of game 4. They actually had quality chances in game 3, whereas in game 4 they had nothing... A couple of bad breaks in game 3 and the wheels just fell off. The forwards looked pretty good in game 3, the D and Pp were pathetic.

In game 4, sure they had 40 shots again, but shit, Boston could have had Cloutier in net and he would have gotten a shutout.

[Greenstoner]

anybody on the board were cheering when they pull luongo at the viewing party ?

i understand it might be frustrated for the fans but cheering for it is just low.. This was one of the reason I hate watching the games in public, to avoid stupid shit like this.


DO YOU FANS REMEMBER, Robbing Pat Sharp in game 7 OT, stepping up to match Rinne and stop 2 to 1 shots from the Shark ??

The only thing we should be worry about is PP, 1/20 is not acceptable.

Our D has weaken, our forwards are injuried (im pretty sure most players are on both teams) but to win games, gotta need the special team to step it up a notch.

finally! yeah the d pairings last night were not working.
normally bieksa works really well with hamhuis. (5 on 5 situation)
alberts and ballard look sort of like the odd men out trying to find chemistry with the other d men. however ballard seems to be working best with tanev.

All season, the kid takes the pressure off Luongo and does a good job..... I take that back, a great job. Luongo played well because he was well rested. It was a good setup. I don't see why they didn't continue that in the playoffs. I know the reason, but.

Anyway, shit happens. All one can do now is cheer the team on and hope for the best. BTW, I'm used to the roller coaster ride. Kind of like the weather we have here. One day it's pissing rain - by the end of the day, it is sunny only to hail the next day. Two wins away, god damn it!!!

I completely disagree. Salo can't hit the broad side of a barn these days and all he tries to do is blast the puck to the net. His shots are constantly going wide or being blocked. He's slow and getting caught out of position a bit too regularly, I was screaming at him to move his fucking feet all game.

That being said, the number of shots the Canucks as a whole put wide of the net was very high. The commentator said "Shot/shoots..... wide of the net" so many times it made my head spin. Those are unforced errors.

[taylor192]

The Canucks need to decide what type of game they want to play: skill or physical. They are playing somewhere inbetween and it is not working for them.

Some are trying to be too physical and getting beat the other way.
Some are trying to draw a penalty by falling down, staying down, ... and getting beat the other way.
This is not our game and is killing us.

Boston is roughing up the twins, and they are either taking it and skating away, or trying in vain to draw a penalty. The twins need to use their skill/speed to stay away like Game 1-2, or to fight back. Boston has learned if they ram the twins into the boards they will just stand there and not try to fight and get away, and that is ruining our puck possession.

Canucks fans getting abuse while visiting Boston

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - We're hearing some awful reports of the way some Canucks fans were treated in Boston. But despite this, the die-hards are expected to return for Game 6.

Marie emailed News1130 to say the only place she wasn't harassed was inside her hotel room. She says a group of teenage boys were verbally aggressive, and one Bruins fan tried to shove his fingers in her mouth at TD Garden. (See her email below)

The Green Men expected to be heckled in Boston, but Sully says some Bruins fans took it a bit far. "Game 4 was a little bit more hectic than Game 3. I got a drink spilled on me, I got smacked in the head, and I got kicked."

"The main heckle was the finger thing," he says. "That was a long time ago... even the NHL is getting sick of it. But people kept coming up to us doing the finger thing... [I thought], 'Good one, very funny, come up with some new material.'"

He says people turned more aggressive in Beantown after the Rome hit on Horton.

What should visiting fans do?

Clare Newell with Jubilee Travel says fans should think about where they are wearing their jerseys and keep some other safety tips in mind:

"Have common sense and [keep your] wits about you for the situation you are going into," she advises. "You are going into lots of crowds, lots of drinking, and if you are wearing a Canucks jersey you have to be prepared to take a bit of heat."

"Don't make eye contact with them," she suggests. "Just walk by and ignore it. Don't engage."

Newell says there are a lot of ways abuse can happen, including getting beer dumped on you. For anyone buying a package to watch Game 6, she strongly suggests buying travel insurance. "If there is something thrown or poured on you and it's hot -- or it hits you in the wrong way and you do need to go to hospital, it could cost you a fortune."

Marie's full email to News1130:

I was fortunate enough to fly out to Boston to watch the Canucks play Boston Bruins in game #4 of the Stanley Cup Finals! What a treat for me!

I am a 41 year old female that is 5.7 and around 128 pounds. I pride myself on being independent and safe when I am traveling! Never in my life did I think that the Boston fans would treat me in such a classless manner!

The next thing I noticed about Boston was how the fellow Bostonians treated me. At first, I thought it was me being sensitive to my environment? Then, as the day progressed the reality of my feeling became factual. Yes, I was wearing my Canucks t-shirt in the city. I didn't expect any negativity or animosity towards me because in Vancouver I believe we have been accepting and friendly towards those who are supporting the competition!

The real shocker came when I was walking to the TD Gardens! A group of kids were walking around chanting "Go Bruins!" I was smiling and enjoying the moment. With my Luongo jersey on and some other Vancouver pins attached to my jersey, I did stick out to this group. One of the kids looked at me and told me to "#^&% off!" Then another kid told me to go back to Canada, while he started to run at me! I decided not to acknowledge these individuals! I also was aware of the dirty looks I was getting! One person came towards me and purposely bumped onto me!

As I reached the Gardens, I kept getting verbally assaulted with comments directed about Luongo! again, I got myself into the arena as soon as I could.

The staff in the arena were very welcoming and helpful!

As I was walking to my seats, some teenager came into my personal space and tried to put his finger in my mouth! That was a sign for me to get to my seat and hope that the folks sitting around me would be nicer. Thankfully the guys sitting on the left of me were exceptionally nice and classy. The other fans were ignorant and as cold as ice!

During the game the fans for Boston seemed to get more verbal towards some of us Vancouver fans! I was alone in a sea of Bruins! Once the game was over and I was leaving the stadium a number of very loud Boston fans were yelling derogatory comments about Lou! In their attempt to cause a reaction from me, I did not react!

When I got out of the stadium I felt totally exposed and afraid for my well being! When I got back to my room, I was relieved!

I have been waiting a very long time to go away and watch the Canucks play! When my dream finally became reality, I was so happy!

Today, as I head back to Vancouver, I can honestly say that "I will not be coming back to Boston any time soon!"

No matter what the outcome will be for the Canucks, I will always remain a Canuck fan!

I can only hope that the Canucks win the next two games! As for the Boston fans that visit Vancouver, I will not ulter how I treat people in a humane and classy way.

Go Canucks!

^i went to game 5 in chicago and we were cheering hard for vancouver. the fans were totally cool with it. i got a few comments but all just jokes. i was surprised at how well i was treated when i sang the anthem, cheered when the canucks scored, etc...

if a chicago fan was in vancouver, vancouver fans would NOT be cool with it at all and he would get ragged on so hard.

[AzNightmare]

What're you talkin' bout? He signed with us in the off-season...& what's your point?

Well, it's not off-season yet. Hence, he hasn't even been here for a year yet.
:whistle:

How can you say a goalie could have saved a certain shot? On a different night, Lu probably could have saved those 2 shots too, if it didn't deflect of anyone or anything. You can't blame shots that change direction on goalies. When they make the save, you are lucky and glad they did. If anything, Salo was to blame for not letting Lu get a clear view/ not do a better job deflecting the shot. The one off the body in front of the net were just flukes.

Well, the first goal at the very least, was plain ugly.

2nd goal, Thomas would have been like 20 feet out of his net. No net to hit even on a deflection.
3rd goal, Thomas would have just crosschecked the guy before he had a chance to get puck possession and backhand roof it. :troll:


if they lose because they decided not to show up I will be extremely pissed at them, I will never stop being a fan though.

IF they lose while playing a hard fought battle then I will be disappointed but I won't be pissed because it just means Boston wanted it more. I'll just be happy that we made it this far

I'm somewhat going to be disappointed and pissed regardless if they don't win the cup.
At least for the first few months until the emotion goes away. We didn't come so far to be 2nd place. No one remembers the runner up. This isn't some cinderella cup run. This is one beastly team that has every right to win this cup. And if they have a hard fought battle, I think Canucks will be victorious anyway.

I can see why fans in vancouver would talk a lil smack to chicago fans cause they fucked us out of the playoffs 2x in a row, but boston is just another team the only reason there is any beef with them right now is because its the SCF, once its over everyone can relax and shake hands and have a great summer..

[Simulated]

as long as the canucks can hold serve by winning on home ice, this series is still in their hands. i have no doubt, they will come out flying in game 5. what i do hope is that torres and lappy will step up and lead the charge in physicality. 3 games left, 2 wins to do it. GO CANUCKS GO!!!

Take it from me, a Sharks fan living in Vancouver lol, you know sometimes the people are cool with it and we throw some jabs and jokes at each others teams and its all good, but I've ran into people that are like ready to throw down because I don't happen to like the same hockey team as them.

That's loser talk. If you're not first, you're last.
I'm pretty sure every player in the NHL knows making it to the finals means go big or go home. Once making it to the finals, either you win it that year or the dream is over. I don't think many teams go back to back SCF (at least post-lockout)

Subban just became my favorite Hab

[unit]

I think you mean game 4 or 6? Game 5 was here and we got shutout.

Subban is welcome on my team! :D

yeah i meant game 6. lost in OT it was a heartbreaker :(

[Spidey]

I completely disagree. Salo can't hit the broad side of a barn these days and all he tries to do is blast the puck to the net. His shots are constantly going wide or being blocked. He's slow and getting caught out of position a bit too regularly, I was screaming at him to move his fucking feet all game.

That being said, the number of shots the Canucks as a whole put wide of the net was very high. The commentator said "Shot/shoots..... wide of the net" so many times it made my head spin. Those are unforced errors.

what games were you watching? salo may have have had an off game in game 3 but he was a PLUS ONE in the 8-1 loss in game 2. He has by far been the most consistent and reliable D man in this series so far. Salo can't hit the net? Have you been watching Ehrhroff the whole playoffs???? Who single handedly won game 4 against the Sharks with back to back power play goals?

Ehrhoff can't hold the line, hit the net, or get a shot through to the net. I love him, but I cannot say he has been good, at all.

[Spidey]

;7465580']finally! yeah the d pairings last night were not working.
normally bieksa works really well with hamhuis. (5 on 5 situation)
alberts and ballard look sort of like the odd men out trying to find chemistry with the other d men. however ballard seems to be working best with tanev.

i don't know why bieksa was paired with ballard... bieksa ehrhoff and ballard all need to be paired with stay at home guys... so ehrhoff with edler, ballard with salo or alberts, and bieksa with alberts or salo. I knew it would be trouble when ballard was paired with bieksa, as bieksa needs to be paired with someone that never pinches or takes risks. so far, av hasn't made many great decisions. If they end up losing the series, I would probably say the Nucks were outcoached.. Then again, the effort and wanting to hit and finish your hits has to be there for the players. This is probably one of the only times in most of the players lives they get this oppurtunity.. 2 wins away.

[Gumby]

LOL if it was Gumby I bet they wouldn't even get close to him - let alone point fingers at him.

We don't look back at the '94 team as losers now do we.

And I know that this team is different from the '94 team in that we were heavy favorites to win but this is the modern day NHL where no matter how favored you are, it's not easy to win.

There's a reason why Theo Fluuery said the things he did about us. It's true. A lot of 1st place teams don't win the cup or make it to the finals.

So there's no reason not to be proud of the team win or lose.

And obvious I rather a win so I can cross one of the things off my bucket list.

why are people worried ..the series is tied for fuck sake ...how the hell you think boston fans felt going back home with 0-2

its not over till its over ... we didn't play well in boston just like how boston didn't play well enough to win in vancouver

its the Stanley cup finals fools ... teams don't go down without a fight and history will tell you canucks never make it easy for themselves

as for Luongo .. you don't get to the Stanley cup finals with a bad goalie ... look at the replays they're were many break aways and bad bounces that were no fault of his and he also made numerous big saves

[!Nhan]

It ain't a problem till you lose on home ice. There's a reason you play for home ice advantage all year long.

[jigga250]

Probably because Boston has all the momentum now, having outscored us 12-1 in the last 2 games. Just a guess.

boston got shut out in their first game and canucks went in to game 3 with an OT winning goal and all the momentum in the world ... things goes both ways

as far as i'm concerned .. the stanley cup playoffs just started with canucks having 2/3 home ice advantage

12 goals in 2 games and keeping your opponent to 1 goal in the last 2 is more of an advantage imo

there's a lot of talk now that kesler is hurt. i wonder if it was the same injury from the SJ series or the big hit he took early in game 2 when he was slow to get up. i hope he can return to form soon if hamhuis isn't returning. our guys are getting banged up at the wrong time but i hope they can all find something and dig deep for 2 more wins.

Burr on Keslers line in Rnd 1 Game 7 produced some decent results. Since Samuelson is out, the only one I'm comfortable with on the Sedin line other than Burr is Hansen.

You don't change things now. They have practiced, played and won as the current lineup sits (with exception to the 4th line). The only thing I do is make Ballard and Tanev the 3rd pairing on defence. At the same time I understand why the coach wants the big body of Alberts in there.

[spoon.ek9]

Agreed..like someone on hockey central said, stick with the solid top 4 of Edler, Salo, Ehrhoff, and Bieksa all of which are capable of logging 20-25 mins. Keep the third pairing at 10-11 mins

doesn't matter who plays in goal. Whoever plays needs to have the game of his life and steal a game for us tomorrow. It's time for our goalie to step up. The forwards and d's are hurting and probably won't be able to put more than 1 or 2 goals behind Thomas.

We need our goalie to be in super-sayan mode for the rest of the series if we are to have a chance.

Canucks fans are worried because they won the first two games by the skin of their teeth, but lost their last 2 games by a 12 goal to 1 margin.

Boston fans felt confident after going home 0-2, because they could have won each of those games.

The '94 Canucks won on will, not skill. The 2011 Canucks are undoubtedly the most skilled group to ever wear the uniform. The next two or three games will tell us what their hearts are made of.

[Tim Budong]

nah they dont sign things leaving YVR, the cops wont let them for security purposes. They leave from south terminal at LANDMARK SHELL hanger anyways...
they just hope in their cars and drive thru the gates

but apparently, some idiot jumped infront of bieksa's car when they came back from SJ and he HAD TO STOP..so he signed it anyways...dumbasses...to jump infront of a car..especially a fucking escalade...

[SkinnyPupp]

So the ratings are in, and CBC is getting about 5.3 to 5.6 million viewers a game. That's equivalent to about 50 million viewers in the US. Still a far cry from 111 million the Super Bowl got, but since there will be 6 or 7 games, that's pretty crazy.
