Hartnell seems like a cool guy. "Suck it Phaneuf!"

[cliffhanger33]

Didn't Kesler say he never liked Canadians, or some shit like that? Either way, that's a retarded fucking thing to say, especially since you play in a Canadian market. If this was any other player, NOT playing on the Canucks, he would have gotten lit up by everyone on this board.

Kesler, IMO, has never been good with interviews and he tends to say some stupid/awkward shit. I guess it's part of the reason why he's not captain - he doesn't deal with the media well, at all.

Wow lol he actually said that? That's such a dum ass thing to say

I agree. If he wasn't a Canuck, I wouldn't take it as lightly as now

Oh give me a break...Kesler said he hates the Canadians in the context that he hates TEAM CANADA, which he is entitled to do as a member of Team USA.

He's loyal to the Canucks and Vancouver, which is all that I'd ask of him. He's never given us any cause to think otherwise. Does it matter to you that Kesler hates the rest of Canada? Because they certainly hate him.

Didn't he say "we hate them and they hate us" which is a true when it comes to International hockey.

I don't have any problem with what Kesler said about us and Luongo. He's playing in the Olympics and competing for the Gold Medal. Fuck any allegiance you have prior and will have. It's once in a lifetime.

This all goes back to what I posted earlier, they play for the name in front of their jerseys....

Except since Luongo and Kesler are friends I don't expect Kesler doing anything cheap like running him on purpose.

This.

Watching him being the only guy to shed a tear when losing Game 7 @ the SCF, and continue banging his head on a wall trying to one-man the Bruins in the dying minutes of the 3rd period when his team was folding - all with only one good leg, will forever be etched in my mind.

No matter the history, the guy is a Canuck through and through. I don't know how anyone who watched last year's Play Off run can doubt that.

[InvisibleSoul]

This year, the rule that forces the top team of each division to be ranked 1-3 in the conference rears it's ugly head. In previous years, it wasn't a big problem, because while #3 might have a worse record than #4 and #5, they would be matched off against #6 in the first round of the playoffs, who would have a worse record.

This year though, for whatever reason, there is one division in each conference that is SO bad, that the leader of the division at #3 in the conference has a significantly worse record than the #6 team that they will play in the playoffs.

If the playoffs started today...

The western conference would have #3 LA (91 points) vs #6 Chicago (98 points).

The eastern conference would have #3 Florida (91 points) vs #6 New Jersey (96 points).

Something just isn't right with that.

Even worse than that though, is that the #4 and #5 teams in each conference, both significantly better teams than #3, have to play each other... so basically #6 being a crappier team gets to have an easier first round opponent (#3) than #4 and #5.

#6 should have a tougher opponent than #5, but yet, #6 New Jersey gets to play Florida (91 points), while #5 Philadelphia has to play Pittsburgh (102 points).

That's not right.

I mean, in its best interest, #5 Philadelphia should TANK the remaining games to try to drop a position because #6 has a much easier opponent than #5 does.

When something like this happens, you know there's a flaw in the system.

Yeah, Craigslist is safe if you're take some basic precautions.

Just make sure the seller has nothing to hide. If he uses a real phone number, is willing to provide you with a real name and identification, chances are there won't be any problems.

[SumAznGuy]

Really? For the past three seasons I've bought my tickets off of Craigslist and never once had a problem, hell I even bought my Game 7 ticket off of there.

Plenty of stories of people buying Olympic hockey tickets and Canucks tickets off CL and showing up at the door only to have the security scan the tickets and inform them that the tickets were invalid.
There was also a story of a guy meeting up with someone from CL to buy game 7 tickets for the agreed price of $4400 for a pair of lower bowl tickets. Seller pulled out a knife and robbed the potential buyer of the money.

*Most* of the scalpers in front of Rogers do it for a living and sell all sorts of tickets.

There are some sites like stubhub that is more secure, but even last year's playoff run there was a news story where they were ripped off of thousands of dollars from fake tickets.

[CorneringArtist]

Really? For the past three seasons I've bought my tickets off of Craigslist and never once had a problem, hell I even bought my Game 7 ticket off of there.

+1. My brother and I bought tickets for Game 1 of last year's playoff round against Nashville. It's all about verifying the legitimacy of the seller. Our seller met us in the Rogers Arena plaza, showed us the season ticketholder book he had (even had the company he worked for on it, BC Cancer Agency), his driver's license, and even walked us right up to the entrance gate to prove he wasn't selling fakes.

[fliptuner]

There's always 3 or 4 of the same guys standing at Georgia/Beatty, by the hotdog stand/bagpipe guy. I've bought tickets from them several times and never had an issue. Specifically, Thomas Taylor of eliteconcierge.com (604-307-9222). I've purchased tickets 5 minutes into the first for half of face value from him on more than one occasion.

If I want them in advance, I tend to stick to guys on boards like RS and such that have a good rep. I'll talk to my GF and see if she gave our tickets to a friend who helped us do some renos. If available, they're 320/12/101+102 aisle seats ($190/pr face).

The one time I got fucked was when I bought tickets from a guy who won them at a highschool raffle. The guy who sold them to me was totally legit and I had bought/sold a ton of car stuff w/ him previously. It was the guy who donated them that screwed everyone over. I think he worked for some big company w/ BestBuy Club seats and figured it was cool to donate them. I actually had the hardcopy tickets. I think he didn't clear it with whoever was in charge of the tickets and someone else at the company reprinted a set so mine were voided. It was a huge clusterfuck to deal with the seller/school/donator and his company. That's where I met Thomas Taylor, heading back to our car. He cut us a great deal and saved our night.

He has heart for sure (Burrows too). Reminded me of Linden when he was tearing up after the SCF loss in 94. Effort means more then skill sometimes.

Of course they did... and he no doubt made the statement knowing full well that they would go nuts with it. This is the Keslerbomb, remember. He's from a hockey area, and he plays in one of the biggest markets in the league, so he knows full well how the media in these situations love to make fucing Himalayas out of divots. He played them and they tripped over each other falling for it.

Daniel and Henrik Sedin offer ideal opportunity for a false-flag operation by the Canucks | Vancouver, Canada | Straight.com (http://www.straight.com/article-649876/vancouver/daniel-and-henrik-sedin-offer-ideal-opportunity-falseflag-operation-canucks?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter)

Daniel and Henrik Sedin offer ideal opportunity for a false-flag operation by the Canucks
by Charlie Smith on April 2, 2012 at 1:42 PM

Here's a hockey conspiracy theory worthy of an Oliver Stone movie.

What if Daniel Sedin is actually healthy and playing on the wing for the Vancouver Canucks? But the opposition doesn't know it because he's wearing his twin brother Henrik's jersey, which carries the "C".

Sure, it sounds far-fetched.

But you must admit that it was a bit strange seeing Henrik, normally a centre, on the wing on March 31 against the Calgary Flames. Max Lapierre was his centreman and took most of the face-offs.

Daniel is reportedly out with a concussion, thanks to Blackhawk Duncan Keith's elbow.

However, if g.m. Mike Gillis and coach Alain Vigneault wanted to keep both Sedins rested and ready for the playoffs—and confuse the opposition—why not alternate them in the stretch? Nobody would ever know that Daniel was wearing Henrik's jersey.

False-flag operations have often been a hallmark of covert operations, most notably when the Nazis burned the Reichstag in 1933. It's not inconceivable that one day, they'll come to the NHL—if they haven't already.

When something like this happens, you know there's a flaw in the system.

I have no problems with the system as it is at all. The first round is where some of the best hockey is played IMO, often times the teams and games will just degrade going through each round that when teams reach the finals they aren't really at 100% and the finals aren't all that great to watch. I loved watching teams like Detroit and SJ get knocked out early back when they were dominant. Even in an ideal world where 1-8 is ranked based on points alone, there will always be upsets in the first round. Once the playoffs start, all bets are off and its anybody's game. Especially in today's NHL with the parity and dilution of talent, even a bad team is not consistently bad every game and they can beat a top team who is slacking off.

Then there is the natural ebb and flow of the teams and standings. This season can be viewed as an abnormality since the system has seemingly 'worked' for a while now. So while the SE and NW division is weaksauce this year, in a few years it may be a completely different story.

[bballguy]

Wow, Tampa just scored with a minute left in the game against Washington....This gives Buffalo a decent chance to get 8th, though it won't be easy.

Washington is up 2 points with a GIH and they would have the tie breaker.

Caps have Florida and Rangers left
Sabres have Toronto, Philly, and Boston.

I don't see it happening, and think Buffalo would need a miracle, but you never know...

:troll:

I had this exact conversation with so many people. I thought of that from the start but...c'mon...I don't think they would.

HOWEVER, if they did, it wouldn't surprise me. Gillis is smart like that.

[Ronin]

This year's playoff race has been incredibly interesting compared to previous years. Last year's West was pretty funny but this year, man...nothing is sure! LA is 3rd but could still miss the playoffs. Who knows who will be 7-8!

Up until a week ago, more than a dozen teams were fighting for the bottom 3 spots in each conference. With 3-4 games left, we STILL have 8 teams alive and 5 playoff spots up for grabs! This year has been a stat nerd dream too.

[SkinnyPupp]

Actually I'm surprised there isn't more conversation going on about Daniel's break. First, the shot didn't really look concussion worthy, as it was a side swipe to the jaw. You never know I guess.. but then he went to the 'quiet room' where he would have been strictly evaluated. They deemed it OK for him to get back into the game... After 1 shift, he left the game, holding his jaw (not really a concussion symptom).

Then we have MG saying he'll be in for the playoffs. How often do we know so far out when a concussion victim is ready to come back? Oh right, never. Usually they are out for however-long-it-takes, with estimates almost always wrong, whether it's shorter or longer than the estimates.

My first guess was that they are resting Daniel for the playoffs, since I'm sure both Sedins are in rough shape after a season, and quite frankly played like shit for the last 2 months or so.

But this theory of resting BOTH guys under the guise of a concussion break makes it WAY more interesting :considered:

He never actually said that he would be ready for playoffs; that was just the media(TSN) trying to make a story out of nothing...

These were his exact words:

"It's risky to make projections with these things because one day the player just may not feel right, but he's going in the right direction. He's feeling a little better each day. We're hopeful if things keep going the way they are that he'll be available [for the first round]."

He never once stated that he will definitely be ready...

[SkinnyPupp]

lol nice

[Ronin]

I keep getting the feeling that this is something so crazy, it just might work.

Seriously, how would they even know? There's no way they could prove this unless they...I don't know...DNA tested them after games.

Pictures? Seriously, unless you're a hardcore Canucks fan, you can't tell the Sedins apart. I can...but I'm one of the aforementioned hardcore...and even then it's a struggle sometimes, especially when they're wearing their helmets.

[SkinnyPupp]

If you're hardcore enough, you might be able to tell by their play style... so start looking closely!

I keep hearing about this from the team, fans, and media but after all these years, i still can't tell them apart.

Most likely because on the ice... the helmet practically covers 80% of the forehead.

Maybe it's just my personal flaw.

Considering that even when I play ice hockey, there are a lot of times I can't recognize people off the ice without their hockey helmets on. And given that that we're talking about recognizing either twin, I think that's fucking with me even more. :D

But this theory of resting BOTH guys under the guise of a concussion break makes it WAY more interesting :considered:

Give it a season or two, you'll be right up there with the rest of the CDC conspiracy theorists :) It IS more fun this way and does make things more interesting in an overly long exhibition season. And could you honestly say a guy like MG would not do this if given the chance to get off scott-free on it? He's weasly in a legit until proven guilty kind of way...

I didn't think Daniel had a concussion either initially, and TBH I can't say I 100% believe he does either (see above, kind of skeptical about Ballard too). Did Daniel make it to the quiet room before playing half his PP shift? I thought he started the PP on the faceoff after he was hit, whereas typical quiet room protocol you have to spend 15 minutes in there or something like that.

^ yeah didn't they shit on toronto like crazy? I beleive they went 6-0 and outscored them by like 20-30 goals or something like that during those 6 games.

[spideyv2]

I find this theory absolutely ridiculous, but its sure fun to talk about, since it's not game day, and we have nothing else to talk about.

Completely agree bro. If the Panthers make the postseason, it's cause of the illuminati!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jeedee]

;7872964']holy fuck stamkos almost at 60 goals!

And only 2 of those goals came from empty netters :denied:

I didn't think I had to start quoting in order for people figure out I was referring to the Sedin jersey swapping theory.

I guess you can never be obvious enough on the internet.


Oh yeah, plus
If the Panthers beat Winnipeg at home on Tuesday night, Florida will be headed to the NHL post-season for the first time since 2000

This isn't even a theory. This is a fact, so I wouldn't even be able to debate about this. So my post had nothing to do with this post.

daniel sedin was actually conducting freemason meets at his local branch

[spoon.ek9]

I keep getting the feeling that this is something so crazy, it just might work.

Seriously, how would they even know? There's no way they could prove this unless they...I don't know...DNA tested them after games.

Pictures? Seriously, unless you're a hardcore Canucks fan, you can't tell the Sedins apart. I can...but I'm one of the aforementioned hardcore...and even then it's a struggle sometimes, especially when they're wearing their helmets.

dude, they're twins, they have the same DNA :lol

twins do however have unique finger prints :whistle:

[Ronin]

Oh right...derp.

[UFO]

The +/- stat isn't perfect, but over a longer course of a few seasons it certainly shows trends of how a player plays the overall game. There's no reason other elite teams couldn't destroy the bad teams and inflate their own +/- in the process, but its just not that easy to do in today's league. Maybe Boston caught a bunch of lucky breaks this season and blew out multiple teams. IMO owning 6 of the top 7 in the NHL in any stat isn't something you can just dismiss and brush-off. I'm willing to give credit where its due.

[UFO]

And only 2 of those goals came from empty netters :denied:

56 of his other goals all came from the same spot on the ice. :D

Defending teams should just stand on his sweet spot, gg stamkos

[InvisibleSoul]

Actually I'm surprised there isn't more conversation going on about Daniel's break. First, the shot didn't really look concussion worthy, as it was a side swipe to the jaw. You never know I guess.. but then he went to the 'quiet room' where he would have been strictly evaluated. They deemed it OK for him to get back into the game... After 1 shift, he left the game, holding his jaw (not really a concussion symptom).
I'm pretty sure that's not the sequence of events that occurred.

After the hit, he went to the bench, went back on the ice on the power play, but then after that shift, went to the quiet room.

I'm pretty sure there wasn't enough time for him to go to the quiet room and be back in time for the same power play.

TORONTO, ONTARIO (AP) - A seven-year-old Toronto, Ontario boy was at the center of a Toronto city courtroom yesterday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulations requiring that family unity be maintained to the degree possible.

The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried out they also beat him.

After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.


After two recesses to check legal references and confer with child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the Toronto Maple Leafs, whom the boy firmly believes are not capable of beating anyone.

The 2010 and 2011 playoff commercials were way better IMO...

From 2010:
History Will Be Made - Pavel Datsyuk - YouTube

From 2011:
"Threes" - History Will Be Made - YouTube


And, IMO, the best Stanley Cup commercial ever (from 2010):

No Words - 2010 NHL Stanley Cup Finals - YouTube

[kristianhay]

No words was definitely the best campaign. Both No Words and History Will Be Made sparked SOME kind of emotion in me and were both pretty intense.

The new campaign is pretty lame imo.. the voice in the commercials isn't fitting and they're not filmed all that well either. Most importantly, they don't spark any kind of emotion as Stanley Cup campaigns previously have. Big thumbs down from me.

[bballguy]

^Totally agree; In all honesty, the best ads will always be the ones in which the only sound you have is the natural commentary and powerful music. This years commercials have been VERY lame...

Can't say i'm surprised... Looks likes buffalo's hopes are alive!

[RiceIntegraRS]

Wow Buffalo won. I hate to do this but

Hodgson 3 Goals 5 Assists 8 Points
Sulzer 3 Goals 5 Assists 8 Points

Kassian 1 Goal 2 Assists 3 Points
Gragnani 1 Goal 1 Assist 2 Points.

[4chinit]

^Too quick to judge, think the "winner" of this deal won't be clear til some years down the line. As of right now, the players are offered different roles on their respective team and offensive production should not be the only judge of how well they're doing.

[SkinnyPupp]

Still hard to believe we lost Hodgson... but then he was being a cunt so whatever

[Not really racist!]

If we win the cup within the next couple seasons.. anything is worth it... even if it means tanking for the next ten years... serious.

[SkinnyPupp]

They better win then because once the twins are gone, they will probably start tanking :(

Well its quite obvious that Buffalo is winning the trade now hands down. Sulzer alone would win them the trade on his own. Kassian was brought in for his energy, hits, and size. So far hes done none of that. Hopefully he brings it come playoff time

[Not really racist!]

Sulzer the surprise for me, lol, but then again he never really played all that much... at best he was the 3rd pairing during an injury so...

[DsZ24]

penalty shot, cmon booth

[dyan]

PENALTY SHOT

[kristianhay]

Why are people bitching about the trade? Are we not in contention for the top spot in the league...?

[Mike Oxbig]

People are bitching because they think hodgson is a player close to tavares and eberle. More like JT and ebs infladed his pts production in the WJC

[kristianhay]

That was some awful style by Hiller on that save.

[sonick]

lol aww Salo's son is #6 too. Mini-Salo.

[RiceIntegraRS]

Why are people bitching about the trade? Are we not in contention for the top spot in the league...?

Im bitching about the trade because we traded a talented player whose been clutch for us in this big games this regular season for a player whose supposed to be our Lucic type player. Now i know his scoring may come with time, but after the first 4 games playing for us, has he really done anything? Has he made an impact in any way at all? I still havent even seen him make a highlight reel hit. We may as well have traded Hodgson for Clutterbuck.

[DsZ24]

all that talk about getzlaf not scoring on the road and this is what happens, thanks tsn lol

They are cheering cause they want to fucking win lol, and Corey gets results

[Ch28]

In Schneider, we trust.

Schneider is the best goalie in the NHL right now (or at least 2nd after Elliot). Of course they are going to CHEER for him when he takes over. It isn't so much against Lu as it is FOR Schneider.

Ssssssssss please.

[civicyvr]

Is gragnani supposed to be our hoff replacement?

Doubt it. Hoff had a very complete game. Solid positional play. Good skater and hard accurate shot.

Looks more like a pylon to me at the moment

He's actually not a bad skater but his positioning and reading the play is quite bad.

[Obsideon]

Schneider is the best goalie in the NHL right now (or at least 2nd after Elliot). Of course they are going to CHEER for him when he takes over. It isn't so much against Lu as it is FOR Schneider.

Ginger is damn good of course that's reality, BUT ... seriously I highly doubt he would have fared much better in the exact same situation that Luongo was put in earlier. Those 2 goals that MAG shat the bed on were pretty much un-save-able by ANY goalie.
