(1) Vancouver Canucks vs. (8) Los Angeles Kings Series Thread

[jstewismybastardson]

as an aside ... anyone notice the cool move TSN has made to show more crowd shots after goals ... the number of fan face palms you see has been IMMENSE

they stole it from Fox (re how they cover the baseball playoffs)

only took tsn about 8 years but good for them

 

[mattola]

HOLY FUCK



how did this team get into this.


dont get me wrong Schneider is awesome and we most likely will win tonight in OT.

but fuck me did Luongo get a raw deal this playoffs

2 things have occured

AV signed his death warrant sitting Gillis 12 year contract player if we lose with Corey in net and
The players do play better in front of Corey so it pretty much ends the trust from both sides (it was fairly tenuous as best)


but this is the end of Luongo here. it has to be. its just mind blowing

 

[rares]

 

[SLY]

Alright boys, time to channel your inner Chicago Blackhawks (*shudder* I can't believe I just said that) and find that gear. You don't have a choice.

lol - Chelsea with a big 1-0 win over Barcelona in the Champions league earlier today.

 

[mattola]

the goalies (and team presumably) was told last night. A couple of benefits to the silence:

- deception for the Kings' sake. make 'em keep 2 scouting reports in their heads.
- don't let all the reporters write the "what this means for the future of the franchise" stories for today's paper. the players don't need to read that (and the twitter nuclear incident it would start)

guess they should have waited until at least 1 hour before game time rather than give them over 7 to get through the first point

Hope it is a good game.
It is my 20th anniversary and the wife and I will having a nice (read expensive) dinner in Maui at sunset. that is 930pm your time. so I am going to miss the third.
The wife said I can check scores during dinner though. She has been married to me for 20 years so she knows this is important. If it was game seven we would skip dinner.

game 7 of the SCF finals last year was on my wife's birthday.
It was a big test. i failed it by sulking on the couch motionless for about an hour after the game.

and you didn't do yourself many favors by looking at canuck boobs

I don't care when the Kings win as long as they are playing game one next week
Don't get me wrong I would love a sweep. A President's Cup winner has never been swept and I think the Nucks have too much pride to allow it to happen.

Lets go Flyers

 

[mattola]

Go Canucks Go


Let's get a win

Oh man, here comes another 7 min national anthem...

 

[Erdber]

What lines is AV using? Is he back to 08?

 

[esls79]

Ballard has had a couple of times already where he raises his arms in the air in an "I didn't do anything warranting a minor penalty" pose.
