What's going on with the Sedin's? They're certainly not playing at their usual point per game rate

The Sedins are getting better than a point a game as a pair but not each.

lol@ "as a pair" As long as Vancouver continues to win, their lacking of scoring will probably be overlooked.

Ryan Kesler, and just seven other players have more than a point a game.

I notice 'patrice bergeron' for boston has 12 points, but he also now has a concussion, which will
make quite a difference to boston's overall performance, he is their #2 centerman, a top face off
man, a top player.
this layoff for the eastern teams is definitely good for boston, as he might be back in a week or
so.

that continues, he'll be out there. There is still that hidden factor, 'the player saying he is
100%' when he really isn't, because even after all the tests are passed, it is how the player
actually feels that is the deciding factor, and they 'just' want to play, especially in playoffs.
It is a uncertain area, and I know many football players who are retired, are still have lots of
trouble from concussions long ago.
I listened to the interview with (forgot his name) the other day, who has recently donated his brain
for research when he dies, (well, I hope it is after he dies lol), sorry, not funny.
As time goes on more and more info will come out re: concussions, but that final decision by the player
will always be there, and only he can 'really' totally protect himself with wise decisions concerning
healing.

we just didn't see that in the first two series, but nashville is so defensive and close checking
its hard for anyone to move around, and its amazing what kesler managed to do against them, he
caught them by surprise, and blew their socks off.

Ballard and Tanev replacing Erhoff and Rome - they didn't shine per say but they did what they had to do and helped the team to the win.nice to see those stats, and also to see the sedins showing everyone just how good they are, as

This is why I think the Canucks are such an outstanding team - no matter what you throw at them they adjust and come right back at you.

playing a man short. While they were a man short they still got the odd chance on San Jose's net.
Anothrer surprising stat was that Vancouver was out-shot something like 13 to 35 over the entire
game.......That means they got 4 goals from 13 shots.......not bad...

- was that the number of shots doesn't matter much if you get the goals to win the game and the Canucks sure did that.Quote: Originally Posted by JLM

Haven't heard anything on the injury to Thornton either, mind you have been busy today so will have to catch the latest on sportcheck tonight. If Thornton doesn't play, it will be a big blow to SJ even though the Canucks have been able to limit his scoring chances. Yep, Auntie had better wear Depends tomorrow! They'll be blasting him.
Will be watching the Boston - Tampa game tonight and cheering loudly for Boston. I still want to see young Tyler Seguin get to the Cup.
Apparently, Thornton is ready to go for game 5.........just read an update in the Sun.

i'm very excited about the future of chris tanev, a young guy, who was playing junior A less than
two years ago, was way too small, so wasn't drafted, but then he grew very fast, very late, which
turned out to be a blessing for canucks, because gillis's scouts found him playing in that
institution, (forget name), then, when playing for the moose, he immediately showed such intelligence
for the game, and such patience, and calmness under stress, and the rest now is history, and I
see him doing nothing but getting better and better over the next few years, and heavier and stronger,
and he will be a top defenceman for canucks for many years.
A great find.

I'll go with the sharks, if canucks don't make it, I always stay in the west, its just the way
I do it, always have.
the only eastern team that i'm soft on, is montreal, because they were my favourite team before
canucks were born.
even if calgary were the western winner, I would cheer for them.

What are Vancouver's chances? Let me see. Vancouver has won three games out of four while S.J.S. have won one out of four. I
would say Vancouver should win tonight's game at home quite handily. When Vancouver is playing on home ice the refs are a little
less biased.

two high sticks on raymond, hanson was blatantly tripped, and I saw some infractions which
included the ref in the picture watching it happen, I don't mind them letting little picky things
go in these games, but please call a high stick in someone's face, and canucks got away with
things too.
Maybe because there was so much complaining about the officiating in last two games, they decided
they would let everything go, until there was a corpse on the ice. lol , they have to be
carefull though, it might be theirs. lol
