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

[dash]

Has Ballard been that terrible to be a healthy scratch?!? Put him and Oreskovich back in the lineup for game 6 (Rome should not be playing forward)

where the FUCK is Burrows?

He has been conspicuous by his absence...Needs to step it up big time.

 

[puckhead]

I hope they got the canucks out of town FAST. keep them away from our press. let them breathe. take them on a trip today get rested. practise tomorrow. refresh.... start fresh

they are flying out this afternoon.

Rome has pictures of AV with a goat or something. There's really no other explanation.
Ballard hasn't been terrible after Christmas or so... well, his contract is, but he's been playing OK.

from Dtolensky:

Luongo's career playoff stats vs Chicago: 7-10, 3.56 GAA, .887 SVP;
His stats vs Not-Chicago: 8-2, 2.17 GAA, .924 SVP.

He's given up 10 goals in the last two games & been pulled in each one. The DOUBT is alive & well.

His stats vs not-Chicago seem to be off to me. I know the year the Ducks won the Cup, he lost four out of five to them.

stats probably in the past three years (including this one so far).
t'was from twitter, so maybe didn't have room for that detail

Makes sense.

Speaking of that year's team, maybe the Canucks need to bring back the Brabarian and infuse the lineup with some much needed spark...

 

[Nasty_Magician]

The emergence of Hossa and Keith has had a huge impact on the past 2 games as well. As good as Vancouver is, the Hawks core players when they are rolling are very scary and could complete the comeback. Don't see it happening but they won the cup for a reason.

 

[mattola]

Keith alone has taken this series over.

Ryan Kesler, where are you? And am I alone in thinking this is not all Lou's fault?

oh absolutely. entire team just seized up.

he's clarifired - that was for the last 3 yrs.

For his career, Luongo is 7-10, 3.56 GAA, .887 SVP vs Chicago & 13-9, 1.94 GAA, .934 SVP vs Not-Chicago

 

[BlueandWhiteForever]

What I don't get about the last two games is why the Canucks aren't attacking Kieth. Without Seabrook there, he is doing it by himself. But Vancouver is just letting him play a comfortable game. Wear him the hell down.

Somebody has to stand up here and take control of this team. Something drastic needs to be done and Im not seeing what I want to see in the press. I want to see anger, seething, disgusted anger. I dont see any of it. I want somebody to just come out and say it. WE GOTTA STOP SUCKING AND GET THIS FUCKING TRAIN BACK ON THE TRACKS.

Who is the Canucks leader?

 

[mattola]

Who is the Canucks leader?

gotta be the Sedins... They have to step up here and get dirty. others I look at are Burrows and Luongo. I dont blame KEsler for not getting any goals right now. he was asked to cover Toews and did an admirable job until the wheels on the bus fell off.

but I want to see action right from puck drop. If they lose the faceoff and back right off Ill not be feeling very good about that first shot.

 

[mattola]

funny I feel a touch better that the Penguins got lit up 8-2 in their "clinch" game... not sure why

 

[mattola]

Game Day..... sigh

Go Canucks Go!
