hahaha mad props to Sully and Force those guys are a trip. Like how they put a pic of Carrie Underwood sporting a Nucks jersey when tootoo went in the box lol

Rinne is killing the Canucks, or they are all (ahem Kesler) squeezing the stick.
Maybe they should trade chances and open it up more? Canucks should be able to "out score" the Preds...

 

[Automattic]

haha mine too!! I said something mean but I was hammered and with a bunch of friends - "fuck you and your baby Burrows" Playoff hockey gets me cocky lol.

Our backup goalie, Lindback is a monster too

What are they called? "13 feet of goalie" or something like that. I'm glad they don't wear Giggy's pads. They'd be 9 foot wide too!

Pekke Rinne - History Will Be Made Video - NHL VideoCenter

Sometimes history stands on its head

Gonna need him to bring his A game again Tuesday night and for the games after. Can't afford to have an "off night" against this Nucks team.

Haha, I thought game 1 was his off night, shit if he get's any tougher, Vancouver fans will have heart failure..

 

[SouthPride]

He let 1 in and had 29 saves haha. He played kinda poorly against Anaheim and Vigneault said they were going to have to see how they put Rinne off his game.

Main differences I can tell is that Anaheim liked to slow down the pace of their offense and then try something quick while CAnucks like to just keep the tempo high and I think thats what Rinne feeds off of, he loves diving across and making insane saves he has some keen ability at knowing where the puck is

That extra day between games is going to help the Canucks. Plus I think playing in Nashville will as well. They play a lot more offensively aggresive on the road.

yeah I Agree with this as well. Both goalies have been superb and after a taxing game like that it will be good for the canucks since we had that game 7 series. this will be a long heart testing series to be sure.

Last time their was an extra day off, I believe the Ducks won 6-3, lol.

If anybody can find a video of Shea Weber nailing Burrows behind the net, please post it. That put a huge smile on my face.

I don't understand you you can like Rene Bourque, and not Burrows. they are the same player.

Our backup goalie, Lindback is a monster too

let's hope we get a crack at him before too long


Nucks leaving for Nashville today... Bieksa, Ballard and Torres were stuck downtown because of the marathon, and had to take the skytrain out to Richmond.

I was just commenting on a great clean hit by Weber on Burrows, don't try to tell me you wouldn't feel the same way if Weber hit Bourque in a similar fashion.

Edit: Found the hit...Fast forward to about 3:47:45 and whammo!

I like Bourque. He's one of the few Flames I do like though.
(Jackman's up there, too)

I guess that's the difference because I don't care very much for Burrows. I'll give him credit though, he's leading the way offensively for the Canucks and I never thought that would be the case.
