WCF - (1) Vancouver Canucks vs (2) San Jose Sharks Series Thread

Any word as to the injury to Thornton? I missed the last part of the third when it happened. Did it look serious?

Was impossible to tell. Might have landed odd on his shoulder or something. Never know if it could be a collar bone or something like that. I fear the worst since (despite all the unfounded Jumbo hate) he IS a gamer and would not miss the end of the third unless he really couldnt play.

Only good sign is he did go out there for one shift after the hit, before leaving the ice.

Why is Bieksa such a dick?

He takes after their coach and GM.

When I first saw the Thornton hit, I didn't think it looked all that bad but he must have just hit the wrong way or in the wrong spot. I don't know. As much as i want the Canucks to win, I really hope Joe is good to do next game and is okay moving forward. Too good of a player to have to watch from the booth.

If the Sharks have any chance to come back, they need to man up on the road. They have looked like such the polar opposite of how they play at HP in their last 4 road games. Of course, desperation sometimes brings out the best in you.

It looked similar to how Bertuzzi got injured.

Yeah, good observation. I hadn't thought of that. Just one of those freak things, I guess.

Agreed. this goes back to the Detroit series as well. Since Game 6 of the Sharks/Kings series, I dont think the Sharks have been in a game where the road team out skated the home team. Obv that has to change Tuesday, but it can.

Just saw the highlights on TSN. Joe looked like he couldn't even hold his stick on that shift.

Looks like a shoulder separation to me.

I fucking hate referees and divers. These two teams (and the refs) make me fucking sick. What has happened to hockey players??? They used to be tough and honorable.....now they're hollywood apprentices.

Congrats Nucks fans. Your PK early was awesome. Lou was very good as well. They deserved their hard fought win on the road.

Question though to all. How does McGinn get a 5 minute major and a game misconduct when every single one of Raffi Torres hits is an illegal charge by a long shot? Intent to injure is there with every one of those charges.

Glen healy had a good line during the game on that Hamhuis penalty at the start of the second ... "Hamhius has to be the strongest man in the world to have one hand on the stick and make Marleau spin around like that"

Torres looks you in the eye when he tries to kill you.

Wanna see ballard throw that hipcheck today ... Hope he can channel all his ill will
with AV into a steady game

Which the refs will call a penalty, undoubtedly...

i was expecting the all to common "clipping" penalty lmao

FUCK YAH

 

[jstewismybastardson]

reports from my bro (aka capt obvious) this evening are the sharks fans arent as happy as they were after game 3 lol

only one fight challenge ... lots of testy lippiness with the line "you dont want to end up like that Giants fan, do you" ending the false bravado

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Outside the rink. on Twitpic

 

[jstewismybastardson]

another lol... AV at the end of his presser
"Is no one going to ask me about our goalie?"

yeah that last one made me laugh good.

that was classic

and no one chimed in to ask a question

if Luongo plays well ... theres no story ... theres no questions ...

especially no slurping questions alot of national reporters are known to ask in a playoff series ie "talk about how good Roberto was tonight"
