He put that speed to use. Looked good cutting across the slot with the puck.

If Raymond's hands could ever catch up to his wheels, he'd be fantastic.

Monday would be a great day to break out for a couple.

I think part of what's happened to Raymond and a few others is they are squeezing the stick a little tighter and thinking too much because they aren't scoring. It happens to almost every player but you can see Thomas is in the Canucks head a little.

The B's need to boldly go where few teams have gone before...

im a little hungover.

That's awesome, dash... I've never been to the HHOF. I saw it when it came to Mike Knuble's high school. Looking at all the names on it is just breathtaking. I got goosebumps.

if you have the chance to go to the HHOF do it. its pretty amazing walking through that. the trophies in there are amazing. it holds the origninal stanley cup I just wish I had a better camera when I was there. I spent about 6 hours in it

 

[Tacoma_canuck]

Lmao Dash, where do you guys all find this stuff? Beam me up, Scotty.

 

[mattola]

that is funny Dash. man you like to find lots of anti canuck stuff. Ill remind you of that when we eventually have a beer in the city

this is incredibly inaccurate. Picard is Clearly saying ENGAGE not ENERGIZE. Laforge and OBrien both fucked up that order which caused Luongo to transport away to let those goals in.

LLAP

There is nothing I can bitch about last night. Clean game for the most part... I'd be lying if I said Vancouver was the better team last night, but they came out with the win. Praying for a game 7.

i think the game was 100% even. Canucks got the one extra save that mattered. Both Goalies were lights out and Luongo was a way different goalie last night. Can he do that on Monday. Hard to say I dont see a blow out like game 3 and 4. ITs going to be a lions den there and the Canucks better have learned quickly. they play like last night Ill be happy.

TSN guys were having dinner next to some Boston players. Canucks fans were buying them tons of drinks that they politely declined

looks like James Duthie might have had one or two

I didn't see the whole thing, but the Canucks' D in particular was dominant in the 3rd period. I don't remember Boston having one legit scoring chance - just a lot of pucks trickling softly in or wristers from terrible angles. Certainly a huge improvement for them over games 3-4 where they looked lost.

xalbox help me out here

Edler was supposedly ripped by a swedish newspaper reporter covering the finals yesterday prior to game 5 for "being too swedish" lol

 

[puckhead]

B's hit a crossbar early,bergeron had a deflection and rebound in the first, and then ryder had a good chance from the slot. Other than that, I can't really think of a really good scoring chance. If we can limit them to so few chances, and lou comes up big on those couple,we're doing ok.
The stat I love was the 47-27 in hits. Edler was a beast.

Chris Tanev just shipped Keith Ballard out of Vancouver tonight.

Does anyone disagree with this?

Oh, I will make it someday. It's about a six hour drive from my town. Me and my buddy have an epic trip planned, one that we will take someday but probably not someday soon. Take 96 towards Detroit, and stop in A2 for a Michigan game at Yost Ice Arena. Then to Detroit, for a Red Wings game. Then we keep on rolling to Toronto for the HHOF. I'd love to take in a game at ACC, but we'll probably have better luck getting Burke to shut up than getting our hands on some Leafs tickets.
