Vancouver Canucks Stanley Cup Play-Off Thread!

[DwightShrute]

Vince Vaughan (far right row #1) doesn't look impressed!

[chantrain]

Chantrain is right THIS Hawks team is not very good. More than anything, they seem a step or two slower than last year. We might be seeing the end result of a long Cup run as well as an Olympic run taking its toll. I also wonder whether Hossa will ever be the same player he was last year. Last year you couldn't seperate him from the puck. This year he's having trouble getting to it. The whole thing is hard to watch.

don't forget a late-season scramble too, as well as injuries piling up all season destroying any sort of chemistry. Hawks just playing awful hockey right now, getting beaten in every facet of the game. Passes are off the mark, board battles being lost, turnovers...

It's epic bad hockey


At least Crawford is pretty darn good in the net

Raffi Torres will not be suspended for his hit on Brent Seabrook.

[mike-dub]

is that the word? lets see if he's still in the lineup on wednesday though. 2 stupid penalties in his first game back

Its confirmed from TSN.ca and I wouldn't be surprised if Vigneault keeps him out of the lineup for Game 4.

Toews is obviously just upset. I really hate the world 'classy'...so overused. Still think he's a heck of a player and he's obviously proven himself winning WJH gold, the cup and conn smythe.

Guys the man I respect him as a player. There's clearly a reason his nickname is Captain Miserable though. No need for discrediting the Canucks for their dominance so far. If anyone is getting exposed it's the Hawks lack of depth.

cap limits sunk the hawks... could have had a good few years

[DwightShrute]

Game #4 almost here......

sweep?

im thinking get out the brooms

[DennisGreen]

Shit the boys weren't quite ready to finish off the series I guess Management just wanted another home game for round 1. I'm not even worried about this little blip on the radar. Nucks look fcukin' horrid though tonight, no effort at all

[JW Cash]

Wait till the Canooks face a competitive team.......

[chantrain]

yes Dwight! Vince Vaughn is happy now. so is chantrain.

we took a game! no sweep!

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Damn, Hawks pounding them in the ass It'll be all over game 5 at home i'll be all over it.

[JW Cash]

Canooks will beat the Hawks.....but that is all they will win.......

Detroit would beat them 4 straight......

Wings know how to WIN in the Playoffs...Canooks know how to LOSE in the Playoffs....

[DwightShrute]

could be the best thing to happen to Vancouver

They will be pissed and kill them no-good-outta-be-tossed-out of-the-NHL-Hawks on Thursday

5-2 vancouver game 4

[chantrain]

we are the champions, my friend
we'll keep on fiiiighting till the ennnnnddd

good luck my friend but it's not the Hawks year this year. Canucks will be playing hockey in JUne

[bigsmitty]

Agreed on the Doh...Had VAN for the ml and pl tonight. Like how Gillis and crew were mixing with the fans. Dwight said it best-VAN will simply be quite perturbed at this development...Cheers

[DennisGreen]

JW Cash do you post from a psych ward? I'm being completely serious here. The Hawks not a competitive team? LOL they did win the cup last year and still have their 4 best players. Sir please seek help, I will pitch in for your medical bill and supply you with Xanax and Prozac

[DennisGreen]

Dumb idea by the Hawks to keep hitting and tilting the Canucks more there at the end. They would have been better served to just play a clean game and wind down the clock. How about Bieksa tuning Stalberg His face looked like mush after two punches

[stig99]

dave bolland was immense

glad he didnt play in the first three

but the hawks should be in to big a hole to get out of

somebody should have mentioned that to the sharks last night!

[qsilver335]

Vancouver takes it in game 5 for sure.

Freaking hilarious.

[bigsmitty]

But seriously-what do you do with the VAN -210? Regulation is an option but still pricey as hell. -1.5 might be my route but seems dicey for a playoff game. Cheers

[FourFeathers]

Hawks in seven

[DwightShrute]

Hawks in seven

[DennisGreen]

Hawks in seven

This isn't 2009-2010 sir. Hawks can't do it with only 6 good players. They may win one more but that will be it.

[DennisGreen]

Wow -210 for the Nucks tomorrow I guess the bookies figure our Nucks will close it out. I may just bet Chicago so at least if the Nucks lose it will ease the pain slightly And if the Hawks lose it will be the sweetest $100 I've ever lost

[DwightShrute]

Ok Canucks fans .. Game #5 in Vancouver tonight

• Let's not kid ourselves and get too over confident about this one.
• Chicago is down 3-1 but they have competed well so far.
• it's not a stretch to say the series could be tied at 2-2 right.

• the Hawks are coming off a huge 7-2 win

• the Hawks know if they build off the win in game 4 and win tonight .. they go back home for a chance to even the series and force a game 7 in Vancouver.
• anything can happen in a game 7
• it's hard to knock off the defending champs
• Canucks were up before in previous series against the Hawks and blew it
• Canucks might be questioning themselves and might play tight
• Luongo tweaked his back last game and after allowing 6 goals his confidence might be less.
• Luongo might not be 100%
• How will Vancouver handle the pressure?

Canucks 7-2

[DennisGreen]

Haha awesome post Dwight

[DwightShrute]

Haha awesome post Dwight

let's bring this one home tonight Dennis. No phuking around here.

[stig99]
