How about them Canucks!

i'm sure vineault and co., have had quite a chat with the team about what to expect in boston, it
will be like trying to play a game with a wounded bear, and also the burrows incident will be
bandied about all over the place, and I wonder if ferraro has been able to shake it off yet, it
seems he is uncomfortable because he said all along that he would suspend him a game if he could make
the decision, then the next morning the league made the statement that they could not find proof
that burrows purposely bit him, but ferraro would not let it die.
last game the canucks snapped back to their good game last five minutes of second period, and we
said at that time, OK then, the last period will be a doozer, and it was.
if boston lose the next one, they are dead, so this third game will be like fighting off a death
sentence for them, and if canucks can get thru the first ten minutes or so, they can begin
to pick away at them till they have the upper hand, at least that is what I am hoping, and can
see happening, it will be tough.
GO CANUCKS GO
I am pulling for Ryan Kesler, though Burrows is a close second. Ryan has been there for the team in every way that he can be, making hits, getting the puck to his teammates, scoring the odd goal of his own and winning face-offs. When the Sedins were unable to make a difference it was Ryan who kept the team going. I take nothing away from Alex's accomplishments but Ryan's seem to get lost in the process. IMVHO! LOl!
Ryan Kesler for the Con Smythe Trophy! :smile:
The best for the Canucks would be a win in the first game in Boston. Boston would then have to win all the
remaining games while the Canucks would need to win just one more. My favorite happening would be for
Vancouver to win both games in Boston to end the series........We can't be too greedy here:lol:;-)
right now I feel it is up for grabs, (if given today), h sedin, kesler, bieksa, luongo, burrows, and
I can't decide today who I would pick. Over the next couple of games, one of them might pull ahead,
and if luongo keeps playing like he is, with very low scoring games, he definitely will be considered.
If burrows keeps up the clutch goals and hard work, and pulls ahead in goals, he has to be considered,
and kesler allready has his money in the bank, and continues playing a deep solid game, but the goals
have stopped, so that lets others into the equation, and you know those twins, they could break out at
any moment and make a big difference.
I hope all of them make us keep changing our minds, which means the team is 'rockin' the joint and
winning games.
GO CANUCKS GO
I think that the Boston fans that are complaining(and this is not all Boston fans, just some of them) about the Burrows incident have short memories. Nathan Horton could have been suspended (there was precedent after all) for his water-bottle squirting and throwing incident. And who was the one that scored the winning goal in Game #7 against Tampa Bay? That's right...Horton.
correct, so, they should 'button' up tonight. we'll see how it goes, might have to do some posting in
the boston message site if 'we' need to stick up for burrows, and also correct their short memories. lol
hope we can do that, but even a split in boston will bury boston so deep that they will be struggling
big time to come back into the series.
this game tonight is huge for boston, I expect them to be like super humans, (for a little while), just
hope they don't score in that time.
Yep, they don't want to get into the Chicago situation.............which turned out OK, thanks to Burrows! :smile:
Yep, all the ones you mentioned plus Daniel. I'm leaning toward Luongo and Burrows.
I do hope that Horton is okay and from what I am hearing he will be back.
Vancouver will have to score goals in their own net to lose this series, truly. Nothing against Boston who are very motivated tonight and kept coming at the Canucks. That said, Vanouver is a much better team, a better all round team than the Bruins. Anyone who watched that 5 minute PK, knows this now. The Canucks rarely if ever are caught with their eyes off the puck - their ability to steal the puck is a thing of beauty. Their stick-handling - I think you call it, almost reaches a state of grace. LOL!
No score end of 1rst.
I finally understand why fans are calling for a win in 5. A win in 5 means the guys take the Cup on home ice! DUH! I can be soooooooo slow to catch on.
GO, CANUCKS, GO! :canada:
11 seconds into 2nd and Boston is on the board: 1 - 0

Great come back by Boston in this game so far. They finally reminded me of why I supported their march to the Eastern Conference final. Fantastic energy and much faster skating tonight especially in the 2nd. They got this win and they got it fairly.
Cheer up Canuck fans, this just means our guys win the Cup at home - right! LOL!
GO, CANUCKS, GO!

5 nothing, 2 short handed goals. So far. still lots of time to make it 10-0.
Let me correct that, 5-1. Oh joy.

Guess every team has a stinker once in awhile- wish Cherry had kept his mouth shut tonight. Hope Talloola is all right and not suffering from a stroke. At 4/0 I turned the T.V. over to the grandkids....................had to reduce the blood pressure. :lol:
