(1) Vancouver Canucks vs (8) Chicago Blackhawks - Series Thread

[jstewismybastardson]

It's quite funny how 12 months have changed things from a mental perspective. Last year, it was the Canucks barking at officials and looking rattled and this year, it's the Hawks beaking off at the refs and each other.

Also, maybe Keith and Seabrook wouldn't be so tired if Marian Hossa got off their respective coattails and actually starting doing something in this series?

While I still subscribe to the idea of luongo being mentally fragile its funny how hrudey postgame goes out of his way to celebrate corey crawfords calmness

They showa clip of a canuck beibg bumped into him off a rush and he smacks the canuck with his blocker and as the puck goes up ice he turns to the ref and beaks looking for a call

Plus after game 1 crawford is quoted in the province as saying he has talked to the refs and they said they will be watching for the crashing and disallowing goals that result from it

Don't try and tell me its not in his head right now .. Just like it got to luongo last year

What a great game last night. I'd love to take in a game in Vancouver. That environment just looked awesome, the crowd all singing, the crowd in general during the game. Vancouver completely shut them down the first 2 periods, I missed the third, wtf happened?

both goals were against the play.
- a screen shot from the wing that even surprised the guy who scored it.
sloppy giveaway on a pass from one D to the other.

- Lou gave a bad rebound on a routine shot from the side, right into the slot.
gift for Smith (2nd of the night)


the good news is, those things can be cleaned up.

GO CANUCKS GO!!! Missing the conversation again. Comcast thought I wanted to wait a week before I got my modem and the like.

Torres back for the Canucks tonight after serving his suspension, John Scott in for the Hawks...Advantage Vancouver.

listening to Scott's interview was like listening to a cave man talk. Apparently the Canucks are scared of him (in his own mind) so they should be thinking twice about what they do. That and hes hoping someone will drop the mitts with him. Bieksa's Response?

"Hmmm a 6 foot 8 hockey player that cant skate. I guess we will just skate around him and score."


going to be fun.


GO CANUCKS GO

I think the Hawks might be better served if Bon Scott was going into the lineup tonight...

Either way, it will be dirty deeds done dirt cheap...

 

[mattola]

this is a huge chance for the canucks tonight. lots of Depth players out for Chicago as per TSN.

Bryan Bickell (right wrist)
Tomas Kopecky (upper body)
Dave Bolland also out (concussion)

lmao! nice. I love playoffs... except when my team is tanking.

I knew Crawford would buckle. I kinda wanted them first round. That was before I found out that Bryz is too busy looking in the mirror at himself to stop a puck.

Finally get to watch a game. Tried to watch replays but they are blacked out on the NHL network here. Bastards.

 

[SLY]

woohoo, some company! How goes it Matt?

Macking some rice krispy treats like a motherfuckin' boss...

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

Canucks are victims of their own stupidity so far.

 

[SLY]

Yep, Hawks smell blood and are taking advantage.

 

[Automattic]

Tsk tsk.

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

Vancouver has got this game if they would just knock off the idiotic penalties

 

[mattola]

taking some dumb fucking penalties man wow

 

[Automattic]

It's the free hand. It's always the free hand...
