LA Kings will knock out the canucks

[DwightShrute]

Right on. Sure as a Kings fan I am tickled that we are up 2-0. I got my tickets to game 3 sitting right here, and just like you said, I'll be cheering for my team. But I cheered for them last year... and the year before... and so on, when they weren't looking as good. They are still my team. Sure, I lose a couple of bucks on them now and again, but sports betting and being a sports fan isn't the same thing.

Although I won't lie, this is perhaps the first time my Kings to win the West ($100 to win $1200) and Kings win the Cup ($100 to win $2,750) don't look so foolish!

enjoy game 3.

3-0 or 2-1 is huge.

[DwightShrute]

Hockey is strange
Down 2-0 but Vancouver can come back

I wonder if worth a bet now?

Ya it is. This ain't over yet. I hope.

[superjeff24]

If you're Vancouver right now... how do you feel about going to LA down 2-0?

After throwing up and removing Dustin Brown's foot from your ass, you try and figure out how to beat a team that threatens to score on every man advantage.

It got dead silent in GM Place after the 3rd goal. I think they know Van is prone to choking, and aren't mentally tough enough to win 4 of 5

[suicidekings]

I don't bet Canucks games at all anymore as they're the only team in sports that I'm really cheering to win at all times.

All I can say is the Canucks are in poor form right now, not getting truly overpowered, but not playing like they need to play to win. Stupid mistakes, allowing the Kings to take advantage, even short-handed. To turn the series around, they need to make a big mental adjustment, more so than anything on the physical end. The talent is there, but the team is out of sync defensively.

Anyone that made money on the Kings in Games 1&2, congrats. I think the Canucks have a good chance to win Game 3 to put the series to 2-1, but when we're talking about mental adjustments, it's not a situation to put your money on.

[lunchbawks]

mental? kings defense and toughness is winning these games. kings offense if horrible but kings possess the puck over 50% of the time on the road, turnovers help but it's been all Kings. Now they go back home, go up 3-1 or 4-0 and the series is over.

Toughness? LOL Kings aren't tough. Take a look at the box score tonight. Shots 48-26 Canucks. Hits 45-32 Canucks. The difference in the first two games has been special teams. LA with 2 short handed goals today and 1/4 on the PP and 3/12 in the series. VAN 0/5 on the PP today and 0/10 in the series. It's not a complicated thing to understand why LA is up 2-0.

[zenmaster]

LMAO at what many several Vancouver supporters said before the series started, trashing Lakerboy's hockey insight and series analysis. And now I see Barry Melrose saying the same exact thing on this ESPN video after Game 2....

http://scores.espn.go.com/nhl/recap?gameId=400259125

1) Jonathan Quick - fantastic goaltender
2) The Kings can skate with Vancouver (more speed)
3) The Kings are as big as Vancouver and more physical

Can Vancouver still win this series???

[lunchbawks]

Game 1 Kings owned Canucks, still came up on top. That says something about a team, grinded out 2 games on the road as huge underdogs

[PStrangers]

As much as I hope the Kings do win the series. No one should forget that the Bruins lost the first 2 of their first round last year against the Canadians, only to come back and win the series... and then the cup.

So "Can Vancouver still win this series???" Sure, they just need to work on the power play. The last playoff series between these two teams had vancouver with 17 goals to LA's 7 goal at even strength. Stop giving up the power plays and stop giving short handed goals.

That being said, they have to beat Quick, who has been amazing all season.

[hockey216]

Jonathan Quick is the REAL DEAL. I remember watching him at UMass.

Sorry buddy but your dead wrong here. LA is a mentally tough team and overall just the better team in the series. This is coming from a guy who's a fan of neither team. Only a blind Canuck homer would say they are the better team.

Canucks are a team full of quitters/pussies who fold the tent in big games as evidenced by the 4-0 spanking the Bruins put on them in Game 7 and again here in this series. Team has no balls and no heart. This team will never win a cup with their current roster with Sedins/Kesler/Luongo the leaders on the team. Mark my words. I've cashed in big last year, cashed in big in Games 1 and 2 and will cash in again on Game 3 as the Canucks and all the squares thinking they won't go down 3-0 get bent over again.

[Sport_Fish]

Good call...I don't see whats going to change in this series for VAN, going to play in LA. Except that things will be even harder.

Don't know how much will change with Schneider.

[spippen]

The Canucks don't always play like sheet, in fact they seldom played like sheet in the regular season, however when the Canucks do choose to play like sheet, they prefer the Stanley Cup Finals or the 2012 playoffs with home ice secured. Be safe my freinds and drink Dos Equis.

Wow! I bet your feeling the pressure now lol.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

This series is far from over as Game 3 will be huge! If LA manages to win 1 of 2 at home then this series is a wrap.

Fukk the NUCKS!

[Smoke]

Good call lakeboy... Its over

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Good call lakeboy... Its over

Not if Vancouver wins game 3

[spippen]

Vancouver has as much a shot at winning game 3 in LA as does a snowstorm in Texas in mid August. No Chance.

[jjgold]

Hockey so unpredictable therefor why sport not popular in usa
Home ice means nothing and only sport set up like that

[lakerboy]

Almost cashed the -2.5. Anyways I'm gonna cash the series win most likely. Kings will be very tough at home. Canucks have lost 6 of 7 playoff games not sure how they can turn that around with this mentally weak team.

[DennisGreen]

Don't get too cocky LA backers and fans. It's a best of 7 series last time I checked and LA is not an experienced playoff team. If Schneider starts game 3 the Canucks win. This is the first big game of the series. Seeing far too many estrogen-induced posts here based on deep-seeded hate for the Nucks.

[DwightShrute]

canucks to win the series

Canooks choking as expected

[JW Cash]

OOOOOHH NNOOOOOOOOO!

THE CAANNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKSSS ARE IN BIG TROUBLE. Losing both the first two games on home ice? Giving up those shorthanded goals? Can anyone say, C-H-O-K-E?

Where's JW Cash when you need him? I can't wait to see this year's annual RIP Vancouver Canook Playoff Thread.

right here my man.....and enjoying the ANUUAL CANOOK COLLAPSE !!!!!

You 'Nucks fans are pretty delusional, eh?

We are like Cubs fans unfortunately Gotta keep the faith I'm on the Canucks bandwagon for life even if the wagon has two wheels missing currently

[bigsmitty]

It's funny but I really do think Lou (which will probably start gm 3) will do much better in front of the LAK crowd. It seems he's a very sensitive guy (even by goalie standards) and it hurts his feelings when the boobirds come out in VAN. Goalies are the most goddamn sensitive people in the world. Those words still echo in my head "Smitty he's shooting at me...". We'll see game three-Lou will probably get his groove on away from home would be my guess. Cheers

Schneider should be able to stop the puck just enough for me to cash in on my bet!! Even if they lose it won't be by more than 1 goal.

[rach]

Have you seen any of LA's game this season? Richards is a fukking ghost, pal. Even more useless than the ghosts on SBR. Every single LA backer in this thread must think Gretzky is on the team or something because I have no idea what upside they see. Quick unproven, Kopitar unproven, Williams injury prone, Carter and Richards underperforming, Doughty has lost a step... against a VAN team that year after year have depth at every position.

How's this working out for you, pal? Funny that your name is keyboarding when it's clear you should never be anywhere near one to run your clueless mouth.

After Toews, there's no better 2-way forward in the league than Richards. Feel free to yap some hometown bs about Kesler who has been exposed on and off the ice (and I'm sure you have that nude Kesler poster hanging above your bed).

Mike Richards
-------------
Memorial Cup Champ
Captained the best Canadian World Junior team ever.
Olympic Gold winner
Led the Flyers to the Cup against the Hawks and was their leading Conn Smythe candidate going into that series.

As for you, Dennis Green... Richards a nancy boy? lol. Is it any wonder the Canucks are the most hated team in the league. Aside from their cowardly team, their fans are obnoxious and clueless. I'm sure both of you played Tier II in the Okanogans or Kootenays for half a season and now play beer league twice a week so that makes you experts. Oops, guess not.

The Canucks choke harder then the chick that gave me my first BJ

I guess you forgot about a guy named Pavel Datsyuk you fukking retard.

Feel free to yap some hometown bs about Kesler who has been exposed on and off the ice (and I'm sure you have that nude Kesler poster hanging above your bed).

I'm from Toronto so I don't know why you think Kesler is my "hometown" guy seeing as 1. He's American and 2. He plays in Vancouver. Seriously, are you fukking retarded?

Also, after the first game where Richards had a PP assist and empty net assist, he didn't do anything next game. Same goes for Carter. Williams is injury prone, that's just a fact. The thing I didn't consider is how awful VAN was going to be playing. Quick has been impressive though, that much is certain, but the playoffs aren't 2 games or 1 series. There's still a lot of hockey left so don't get ahead of yourself.

God bless.

What am I supposed to be impressed he knocked Burrows over? This happens at least once every game Quit acting like Richards is a bad ass like Lucic because he's not. The guy barely averaged over a hit a game this year. Guys softer than my fabric softener. Guy should try fighting Bieksa. He would knock his lip gloss and plucked eyebrows off his face faster than Richards and Carter head to the bars after the game

Don't even try man it's an uphill battle with most of these dolts All these guys do is watch the highlights on ESPN and see Richards with 3 points and a big hit and suddenly he's the 2nd coming of Crosby

[betplom]

Green u fukkin jinx.

Canucks again showing they have no heart.

Sedin sisters are the core of the team, lol.

Holy fcuk what a reunion in this thread the first guy to ever tilt me Mr. Fat Squid in the house How the hell are you pal?

Sedins both had around 30 hits this year they're killing it physically They do what they're paid to do get points and they'll continue to be manhandled out there like boys against men but I've come to accept that.
