How about them Canucks!

Gerry, I've watched you denigrate Americans for years, I can't recall one time you said a good thing about Americans. Finally a week ago we reached the point where we thought one Canadian team had a chance to win the Stanley Cup. Now it does look like L.A. might take it away from them. From your post I interpret it to mean you are rooting for L.A. (last I checked a map, an American team) Is that being a little (lot) hypocritical or what? :smile:
I wonder if there will be a Vancouver canuckleheads riot 2012?
Of course. When is game 4?
I would be happier than hell if Vancouver proved me wrong and went all the way. Unfortunately, from past experience, I may as well hope that Calgary or Toronto wins the cup.
I know, I know, Toronto and Calgary can't even make it into the playoffs, big deal. Vancouver makes it into the playoffs and has had less success at winning the cup than either of them has.
I've been stating what I feel is the truth. Vancouver is not gonna make it. Have you seen me say "Go LA"? No, I've "predicted" that Vancouver would, once again, get their asses kicked. So far, they have proven me right.
Sounds good but if he's not 100% he could be a detriment! On second thought perhaps they should have had him in last game just to play a couple of shifts to get a goal, like on the power plays.
Yes, I just heard vineault talking about daniel, it is out of vineault's hands, a medical decision, but
if daniel decides he wants to play irrespective, he will say what he wants to say to make sure he
plays, sure hope he is 100%, not worth it to play, if he shouldn't, but at the end of it all, it is
the players decision.
Lots of them lie, to make sure they play, no one can control that.
Just another sign of how crazy things have become in organized sports.....................Is there absolutely nothing (including a man's life) more important than winning? It's gotten to be a sickness! And a GREEDY one at that!
Yep, that looked pretty formidable, I would guess on the scale of savage hits that would rate a 7 or an 8, but I'm not a connoiseur in that department, especially as it happened so fast. Hank is one tough customer! :lol:
&%#@&^$* Rangers won!
I think the hit on Daniel was meant to take him out of the playoffs, just like Brown's hit on Hank was meant to take him out and it was no accident either. I hate the direction the league is taking. Whether it is the owners or the coaches, these a$$holes should realise that people come to games to see the stars playing, and that generates money for all the teams.
If you want to fully understand hockey I suggest you read Talloola's enlightening posts! I suggest you may have missed several where she has stated that the talent and ability level between most N.H.L. teams is so close................I'd go as far as to say within one or two percent. Add to that, strange phenomena, like inperfections in the boards and pretty well any result is possible. Even Columbus was laying a thumping on the big teams at the end of the season. :lol:
Contrary to what all the thinking heads think, I still think the Canucks can get past this if they just concentrate on one game at a time. During the regular season they've managed to win 8 and 9 straight against various opponents. At least by now they are well aware of all L.A.'s little idiosyncracies................................GO CANUCKS GO, Just 16 more wins!
We all know who makes excuses. I understand hockey and fully understand that regardless how 'close' every team is, if a #1 seed loses particularly in the 1st round, no matter how you spin it, is called a choke.

nope, its called 'parity', which was apparant all season, but the more games that
are played, the harder it is for the lower teams to catch up to the higher teams,
which gives an illusion that team #8 is much worse than team #1.
In the playoffs they all start out with 'zero' games won, and with only 16 teams
and so few games to play, the 'parity' really shows up.
choking is only if you are standing over a 2 ft. putt, and miss it.
