I`m still physically pained by the monkey`s court that was last night`s game. Ridiculous, awful playing.

This is the strongest the Canucks have been since the West Coast Express but they`re back to their old tricks, playing tight and smart all season and then choking when it counts. The dazed faces in the crowd at Rogers Arena yesterday expressed perfectly the general feel of the city today: how do you even react to such a display, where questionable refereeing was overshadowed by slipshod ice play, questionable lineup calls, and the inability to handle the puck?

Jesus, it`s just brutalizing. Get it together boys. :(

I hope they give Schneider a chance to start in the next game. Not that Luongo was the only problem - there was some terrible terrible defense, especially on (if I'm remembering right) Hossa's powerplay goal where he basically skated untouched past four men and just popped it in. Everyone just seemed to be playing at half speed.

oh man, Dee, the Bruins were fuckin` BALLIN. What a game - edge of your seat kind of match.

Chaz de Coventina

Apr 22nd, 2011, 11:02:58 AM

Word is Luongo`s starting game 6 - which, argh, whatever, fine; I just hope there`s sense enough to pull him at the first sign of trouble because he`s off his game. It happens, but there`s no reason to keep playing him in that state when Schneider`s there.

Also ha, yeah, what was up with the defense? It didn`t exist! Haha I just started laughing in the third when two of the `Nuck`s players fell down while the bastard Blackhawks made an orchestrated rush for a 6th goal.

The Sedins put up a scramble at the last but even they were dazed. Half speed, just like you say.

Here`s hoping they shake the dust off and get over it for Sunday.

Got ya beat. Walked into work today to find a whole pile of fancy SUV's sitting at the hotel(fairmont on west cordova) AND the canucks team filling in and out of them.

Saw The sedins and burrows. Woo woo!

Jun 1st, 2011, 02:44:19 PM

Haha I didn't. I was walking by when I noticed a bunch of girls squeeling. Saw the Sedins getting in a SUV and Burrows walking in to the hotel. Some jerk(over zealous crazy) fan started banging on the Sedins window as they were being drove away though. I was caught by surprise. I was like "Is that? Holycrapitis." Then the moment was over and the Sedins were escaping and burrows was inside the hotel lobby.

They seem to be coming and going. Apparently, Luongo just went across the street for some reason or another. When I went to the window I just saw some tall guy with slicked black hair. Too far away to confirm but others say it was him.

I just want to touch one.

Tear

Jun 1st, 2011, 03:08:14 PM

haha, well all the fans that were lurking around the hotel have gone. There are still a few SUV's in front of the hotel but I don't know who they belong to. No ones yelled in a while so I don't know if any Canucks are left.

You might catch a straggler though?;)

Ooop. Massive screaming outside now. Missed someone.

I would prefer the Ref's not call anything for game 7. Let the boys play. If someone gets stabbed, fine, call it, but other then the big obvious stuff just game on.

Edit* Canucks are at the fairmont again. Just getting back from their morning skate apparently.

GO CANUCKS GO!

Our WHL team had one playoff game where there were only two penalties called in the whole game and it was glorious. I don't think there was a ref whistle blown until the third period. :love

To be fair, those people would be doing that if the Canucks had won, too.

No, I'd be afraid that it would be worse if they had actually won. It is definably embarrassing though.

I was heart broken as a boy when I watched my Canucks lose the cup in 94'. I'm a man now (debatable;)) and while I can manage a broken heart a little better it's still a sore memory to relive.

Kudos to the Bruins they played a good game. (damn that fat thomas.)

BUT I still believe in you Luongo! Still love my Canucks and I still love my city!

Oh, and I just got home from downtown. Watched the game on the big screens on the street. The people causing the shit aren't even fans. They're just there to take advantage of the situation. Punk asses. The rest are gawking morons or drunks wandering into the commotion.

To be fair, those people would be doing that if the Canucks had won, too. The loss is heart-breaking enough for Vancouver without those morons embarrassing the whole city.

I probably should be disgusted that all four of Boston's major teams have championships in the last five years, but I don't have anything at all against the Bruins. They played a thrilling series and are clearly the deserving team. Congratulations Bruins fans!

Fun fact pointed out by the NBC broadcasters: the last three teams to win a championship game 7 on the road are the Boston Bruins, the Pittsburgh Penguins, and the Pittsburgh Pirates. All three are black and gold. The colors of champions... ;)We love you too, babe :D

Technically, though, if you count the MLS, we've got five pro sports teams (err, six, as I think there's a lacrosse team somewhere in Boston). Then again, it is the New England Revolution and well, we just don't talk about them 'round these here parts :p

Black and gold indeed :D I couldn't be prouder right now.

I've been a Red Sox fan my entire life...and spent years hating Bill Buckner for making me cry in 1986 (I was all of ten years old).

Hey...you leave my Tim alone...*brandishes her Thomas jersey*...although, I do admit...I heard his style called "battlefly" this morning and I've been cracking up about it all damn day. The man should be elevated to hockey deity status as far as I'm concerned, and I'll take him over any other goalie any day :)
