Allow me to present you with a conversation Fels and I had an hour or so before last night's game:
Sam: I told McClure this smells like a Toews game.
Player of the Game:
Like there was any doubt about who this would go to..

Let's end this Sunday
Looked like Bolland was starting to make some moves again last night. Could he actually be back? That would make the Hawks pretty solid on all lines.
Toews had a great game.
You know that Sharp guy ain’t too bad either, I mean for a guy who supposedly is a winger and all.
Great game by Toews. I keep telling my non goalie kid (the defenseman) to watch both Sharp and Toews. Toews doesn’t make the reels like Crosby and Ovi, but he plays the way you should play. The guy is just awesome
Chewing gum?
To think the Hawks trade Matt fucking Ellison for him
My god. What a steal.

That picture is so much WIN
Looks like the ref is going to go get Lu his bottle and blankie.
"FACEOFF!" "Makes the pass." "FIGHT!" - 8 bit hockey
Agreed!
My take on it is, the ref is going over to the celebration pile all, “Hey guys, Bobby’s looking for his testicles, have you seen — oh, there they are. You boys really mangled ’em, eh?”

That -- that was a captain's performance.
What I loved was the contrast between his and Buff’s hatties. Buff got all three of his on rebounds, by wading around in quicksand. Toews’s goals were slightly prettier, little wristers/snap shots from close range that gave Luongo little-to-no chance.
Toews found the little pockets of space that allowed him to pretty much breathe the puck toward the net, while Buff had to practically worm his way out of an apple. Shit like that makes me happy.
right before Kop got whistled for taking the ice without a helmet
the puck was behind the Hawks net and a Nuck was skating towards the crease. Niemi skated to the side of his crease and made a motion which said, “Go ahead, you can have my crease anytime I want you to.” Did anyone else notice this?
(170 g) * (3x10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.5x10^16 J
I don't remember that but
but I remember a time when there was a huge dust up in front of our net and Niemi just slipped out of the way. He took himself out of a situation that could’ve had some cheap shots sent his way.
Watch it with the jinxing!
Time for some thrillin' heroics!
I wish I had DVRed this game
but I only ever record things I don’t want to watch again.
Watch it with the jinxing!
Time for some thrillin' heroics!
no, I DVR'd the detroit game back in march
Andrew Ladd’s meaningless hat trick.
Watch it with the jinxing!
Time for some thrillin' heroics!
I did, and I rewatched it today.
It was just as sweet. Plus I counted about ten more calls the refs could have made on the Nucks. For a team that bitches about refs not calling anything, they certainly get away with enough.
"Erin go Braugh". What the fuck does that mean?
It's Irish for "you're fucked".
it was just this quick little move
but he looked so nonchalant doing it
I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out.

I remember that play
but I thought Niemi was using his stick to signal some directions to one of the defenders or something.
it seemed like it at first
but then his position seemed weird if that’s what he had been doing
(170 g) * (3x10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.5x10^16 J
Approximately when did this gesture by Nemo take place?
/cueing DVR
Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!
it was on a PP
i don’t think we scored on it. the hawks net was on the left side of the screen. that should be enough information to narrow it down, but that’s the best i can do.
(170 g) * (3x10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.5x10^16 J
sorry for the repost,
I just posted this in the beard of the day thread, but I don’t anticipate many going back there, and I did want to see what people thought so here it is again………
After every game I’ve gone over to Nucks Misconduct and checked out the reactions and thoughts about each game from their perspective. And after every Hawks win there is always an SCH member (not always the same person) who goes over there and makes some long winded comment to the tune of "hey guys, this series isn’t over. The canucks are a good team and they have the talent to come back. I’m not celebrating yet cause the nucks are good….keep your heads up, the next few games are going to be tough…..(pat on the back, hug, friendly butt slap, etc)"
Am I the only person that just doesn’t understand this? I get that you are trying to be a good sport and don’t mean harm, BUT you’re just patronizing the nucks fans over there who are miserable about their team’s performance in the series so far. Was Shane OBrien displaying good sportmanship as he was cross checking Buff along the half boards? Was Burrows displaying good sportsmanship when he was pushing Bollie’s face into the bench from behind? Was Buff displaying good sportsmanship during his ‘Fuck you Fly by’ to the Nucks fans in Game 3?
What’s my point here? Though it may sound like I’m telling you how to be a fan, I don’t intend on that being my message. The point is that no one is going to fault you as a fan for having a killer instinct. This is chicago sports……uncontrollable passion continually dragged down by inevitable failure. 1961, the longest cup drought in hockey and I could care less how many opposing teams fans are heartbroken by the Blackhawks’ (possible) 2 month path of destruction.
Still not with me? One more example if I may. Last year after Darren Helm and the Joe Lewis boards buried us in game 5, I was pissed. You know what didn’t help my disappointment and anger?……some detroit fan coming over here and amiably telling us that everything was going to be fine and that kane, toews, keith, seabrook, etc are good young players and that the hawks have a bright future. I’d watched those players all year, don’t you, the opposing team fan, think that I know what my team is and as not!? At that point, all I wanted was to commiserate the loss of my team with my fellow hawk fans.
Look, I’m not saying I’d prefer people to go over to NM and display their killer instinct by trolling it up and taunting the nucks fans, but an opposing fan, in a good mood from their victory going over there and patronizing the angry/depressed fans is it’s own form of trolling. You’re like a friendly troll wearing a sun dress passing out flowers, sure it seems nice, but you forget that people don’t want to be around trolls of any disposition.
As I said in one of the other post game threads…..let’s throw the last shovel of dirt on the Nucks and bury them tomorrow night.
Ditto for CNS

very well said
I pretty much keep close to SCH during the playoffs for this reason. Emotions get so heightened between fans of series opponents, and whatever happens, it’s just more comforting to be able to celebrate/commiserate with fellow fans, rather than deal with the bitterness/pity of opposing fans. There’s something to be said about extending the metaphorical hand out of mutual respect blah blah we’re all hockey fans blah blah puke, but like the players on the ice, I prefer to save that for when the series is over.

I do too, but I have mixed feelings
I thought there were some nice exchanges with OtF during our series with them, and I don’t see much wrong with what happened there (though like you said, when the series is over is best — the handshake was the best part).
But that said, I can see how you could easily overdo the whole posting on opposition blogs thing. Like many things, this is probably best done in moderation, or if you want to be absolutely safe, not at all.

We have considerably fewer active users than NM, consequentially there are fewer people to piss off. I thought our blog relationship blossomed quite nicely.

I’m just asking. I can’t imagine having a better “movtivator” coach who gets the most out of whoever he’s coaching, but I heard a few calls for his head since the Preds can’t get past the 1st round. Like, he’s gotten us to point A, but we need (insert name) to get us to point B.
I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Nah, no way. We may dump the guy in charge of our PP, but not a Jack Adams finalist. He’s too good and I’d hate to see him go win a division/conference/Cup somewhere like Buffalo.
i know its theoretical, but DAMN if we could get off the cap floor, I’d love to see what he and Poile could do.

I’ve long said you can out talent us but to outwork us would be a helluva tall order. Also we were the least penalized team in all the land.
Players like Burrows or Ryane Clowe would never get more than 10M TOI here because Trotz would have them chained to a doghouse all night. They don’t work hard enough and bitch too much for Trotz Hockey.

I read or heard during our series with you that not only was Nashville the least penalized team this year, but it was some crazy fucking stat like they were the least penalized team since expansion. Some fucking thing like that. I can’t remember the actual time frame, only that I kept saying to myself that it wasn’t possible.

I may be guilty here in a post earlier today...
…I commented on NM that AV seemed calmer than after game 3, so maybe the disastrous game 4 gameplan wouldn’t be repeated. I also noted they scored 4 and hit a couple posts.
Why on earth would I do this?
Well, I thought about it, and here’s what I came up with:
- the observations seem legitimate
- counterweight to boorish trolls
- weird karmic feeling, like if the city bails on the Nucks, a weight is lifted
- no intention to rub salt in the wound (but I totally get Trixie’s comment below)
- the NM crowd seems ok, just talkin’ hockey.
Bottom line- kinda stupid I guess.
/hangs head
Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!
I know I am one of the "guilty" parties you are reffering too.
I have had no issue with NM fans, and agree with Cliff on this being the main reason.

I was actually sad to see all of the air taken out of their fan base (Exstatic if the team is the same). I look at it like, playing a computer game against another person, you are winning, and they just give up, throw the controller down and storm off. What is the fun in finishing the game? I know how they feel, but I still want it to be fun for them, and not just quiet. Strange things happen in sports, never give up hope until the end.
Besides we had a few Asshole Trolls be incredibly stupid, I feel we need something to counter the complete arrogance that was shown by them.
That being said. Hawks you have ripped their Heart and Soul from their chest, now finish it off!

I've been some what civil
over there as well. I agree with TMFF’s comments about the trolls and the exception of their choice of team, the NM crowd seems okay talking hockey .
My biggest reason not to get in their face is because this series isn’t over yet. I’m a bit superstitious and don’t want to piss off the Hockey Gods.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me 'Sir' without adding, 'You're making a scene."
i get the dig about the choice of team
but think about it: they’re from BC (at least some of them are). it’s not their fault that the management of their local hockey franchise seems to have created an organizational ethos that rewards whining, dirty players. think about the Bertuzzi Incident. as stupid as they look for defending him and the team, can you really blame them? imagine if toews did something like that. wouldn’t we all be kind of like, shiiiiiiit, man we hope this doesn’t destroy our franchise?

if (IF) we win today i feel like it would be really bad sportsmanship to go over there and say “hey you guys played well though an put up a good fight though!” That was true of the Preds, but I that’s not true here. They don’t think their team played well the last 3 games, and it would be really disingenuous of me to go over there and say that if tonight’s performance isn’t a much better one.

I agree. Early in the series, sure it’s fun to play. And if it really is a close game or the other team played well, I don’t see harm in saying so. However, there are times when it’s just not even close, and it’s painful, and I don’t like others rubbing it in, I just want to be with those who think the same things I do.

Absolutely have to agree with this assessment..
Early on, while there’s still posturing, and if the series is knotted up at 2-2, 3-3… There’s still some good hockey being played… It’s cool to say so.
Following three straight, in which the opposition has been outscored 16 – 6, and given up two consecutive hat tricks, the “good sport” move is to probably just let it be. Let them wallow alone.
I know that at the end of last season.. I didn’t want to hear anything about it, for quite some time.

The Stanley Cup was here about a month ago, along with several Canadian former NHL players… Notably, Tiger Williams, Ryan Vandenbussche, Lanny McDonald… several others – and Brian Burke (who coached us in the game against them). We lost 8 – 4, but it was a great time, and… I got to see THE CUP…

I said this on the other thread, but the only ones who really bug me are the blatent “Haha you lost people!!!”….who of course count among the dumbest people mankind has ever produced. But outside that, if someone makes a well-reasoned point, i consider it even if i’m still pissed off over a loss.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m about as loud and excitable as you get during a game, but once it’s over, i guess I move past it pretty quickly too. That, and with my family and friends (and my surroundings for the past month), it’s hard for me to find people talk sports with who don’t think i’m a complete nutcase — so aside from blatent trolls, i’ll take the sports conversations from whomever i can.

As tempting as it is to comment, I simply won’t do it. I posted a bit on the Preds site but that’s because the very classy Chris invited us over. At most, I’ll ask a question on something, but I don’t offer empty platitudes or rub their noses in it. It’s their site—let them wallow/whine/celebrate/rejoice whatever.
I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
I go over now and again to an opposing team’s blog and post the odd comment. For me, it’s not so much telling them to buck up, you’re still in it, as it is just taking advantage of the chance to talk hockey with some people I don’t normally do it with. I see what you’re saying, hackerar, definitely, but I think you can talk with the opposition about shit without being patronizing.
I’ve played rugby all my life, and one of the things I love about the sport is the camaraderie that automatically exists between teams that try literally to knock each other unconscious with a tackle. It’s part of the sport, part of the game: handshakes and beers and laughs afterward are part of the game itself. I like it when I come across this in hockey, as well, as both a player and a fan.

Tears Of A Clown
He wasn’t rattled by the Nucks trying to get in his crease.
That, to me, was one of the biggest reasons why the Hawks were able to run the train on the Canucks last night. Vancouver kept to their word and were in Niemi’s kitchen all night, and it was like he didn’t even notice. While the guy at the other end of the rink was probably still complaining about missed calls in round 1.
Luongo’s tears taste so much better in Chicago.
Physical Nuckleheads
I’m convinced the Nucks don’t really know the difference between physical, aggressive play and dumb, parade-to-the-box douchebaggery. Some teams are built to play an effective physical game. It’s not essential to winning—some teams can win on skill alone. The Scum of yore weren’t overly physical but were stout enough to let their skilled players do their thing. Right now the Nucks seem to think they can abandon their puck possession game just because Buff hurt their feelings that one awful night. I hope they don’t figure this out by Sunday.
Speaking of being effectively physical
where did this Kopecky come from? He spent most of the season on the 4th line and played without any of the tenacity that he’s shown in the last few weeks. It’s not just that he’s running around hitting people, he’s really used his body well and found the right situations. It’s been an absolute revelation.
Though we might despise them....
He was with Detroit, and for awhile there, they knew how to be a classy organization in addition to being a winning one.
I’d say that he was in Detroit for the reason that we’re seeing him so much now.
Everyone dies. It is the only true and lasting justice in life.
Coming along nicely
I wanted to see what he could do with above average linemates as he did so well in the Olympics. Looks like he’s coming through. With him and Boland looking better makes it so much harder for teams to match up with all or lines. Vaarrry nahce.
I agree, why patronize Nucks fans on NM!?!...
Now, I know they’re are some good people in V-town – but for the most part, the players and some fans have both chosen to take the low-road – the fans by trashing the ice and the Nucks by playing cheap…
if that’s the style they chose then they get no respect from me… how about quit the crap and “try” putting the puck in the net more times than the Hawks, you canuckle-heads… and if you clowns want to rough it up, find our boys Burish and Benny… but the shit you’ve been pulling off makes you look like pathetic little bitches… especially when you’re getting outplayed the way you are…
I love this sport too much to watch it go down that road… I’d much rather lose with some class than crosscheck a guy on the ice in the neck or try to pick a fight with a guy just back from a broken clavicle… my fuckin’ Hawks are making me proud !!!…

"What do you think this is? Major League Baseball?"- Shea Weber
I kind of like it. It reminds me of my all-time favourite thread on this board when all the comments greened except the ones that weren’t supposed to be.
www.mjt.org
Look, I fucking hate Vancouver, and I want nothing more than to see Borat cry some more … but I don’t know why that feeling has to go hand in hand with generalizing their entire team and fans as fuckwads. It’s possible to want the Canucks pounded to fucking dust in a hockey game … and still respect (most of) them afterward. This is because I love Chicago and desperately want them to win.
Burrows is the only guy I really think is a special kind of fuckstick. Vigneault and O’Brien are up there, too, I guess.
And so meeshak doesn’t feel alone with his mistake, I’ll rec it too, what the hell.
www.mjt.org
You really don't like Vigneault?
He’s struck me as a guy struggling to impart control on his team, but a lot of that is out of his hands. His post-game comments drip with confidence, but also an honesty that stems from being humbled in three straight games.
(170 g) * (3x10^8 m/s)^2 = 1.5x10^16 J
The players follow the coach
Vigneault constantly makes comments about his team being better than the other team, and his players follow suit. Even when they’re crapping the bed. (See Lu’s recent comments.) Perhaps a little tough love is called for. I don’t have any personal dislike for Vig—I just think he’s lost the locker room and doesn’t know what to do with them.
I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
I don’t have a lot of respect for him, no. Calling Toews one of the bigger cheaters smacked to me of desperation, and not something a coach should be saying. It didn’t exactly work, either. I can’t imagine many coaches calling out a guy like Toews and expecting good things to come of it. Tells me something about his brain.
And I agree with you, he is struggling for control … and I think that’s kind of funny for an NHL coach.
www.mjt.org
What a joke
Do they think that Lu deserves his own personal force field so that no one can ever get near him?
I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out.
- Rodney Dangerfield
To quote him exactly...
“The guy going to the net hardest for them and getting away with the most is probably Toews,” Vigneault said. “He’s pitch-forked. He’s run Louie. He’s done everything you need to do create offense. And on top of that he’s a real skilled player, so we know what we need to do here.”
I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Not to defend the Canucks, but that doesn’t translate directly to ‘cheater’ for me.

"What do you think this is? Major League Baseball?"- Shea Weber
To me, this is the NHL version of Phil Jackson
lobbying for calls in the NBA playoffs. I didn’t care for it much, and didn’t really think it would have an impact. (I didn’t count on the Captain responding with a monster game.)
I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Maybe I misunderstand
the common hockey phrase “run a goalie” but I always thought run meant intentional, illegal physical contact on a goalie. If that’s the case then he’s definitely saying Toews is getting away with something he shouldn’t be.
"We know what we need to do here"
Mollycoddle Lu, bitch about the refs, goon it up and act like there’s nothing wrong with the way they’ve played?
They really could give us trouble if they wanted to, but the past few games they sure as hell haven’t shown it. Here’s hoping it continues, I guess…
Funnily enough
that was my first guess too. Hopefully they aren’t spying on this blog, trying to find out how to beat us. If that ever gets out, we could have trouble…
I personally
would say that he started out alluding the the idea that Toews is a cheater, but probably caught himself and said “this could bite us in the ass, or at least make us look bad… let me redirect it” and then went on to say "He’s done everything you need to do etc…. " Heaped a little praise on Toews, if you will, to lessen the impact of his initial statement.
Everyone dies. It is the only true and lasting justice in life.
getting away with the most is probably Toews
Actually, I thought that was a response to another question on “how great Buf was in front of the net.”
I think it was more a slam on the media for making Buf out to be the biggest danger the Nucks were facing. He kept saying, no we aren’t worried about Buf we are more worried about Kane and Toews.
Toews <— pretty good
Blame the refs
After the 1st loss he went whining on TV…“well you can see what the refs are allowing…we now know what to do”. Yeah fuckwad…why don’t your guys crosscheck the back of Buf’s neck while he’s down on the ice a few times. (I can’t believe that guy didn’t get 5 and a game for that….you could paralyze someone with that. )
He has shown his coaching abilities the last 2 years…..lost a round and down 3-1 by his own admission to a “worse” team…..maybe because he couldn’t control the Caknuckleheads in his own locker room. When they didn’t come out looking for fights they won game 1 and had one boot on the throat for game 2……good coaching to let that go by watching your team take dumb penalties. Not his fault? Yeah right. Hope he coaches in our conference for a LONG time.
Legitimate question: What's Thing 1 (or is it 2) so angry about?
I know the Hawks are chirping a lot and I’ve seen a little stick work, but nothing that warrants breaking a stick on Versteeg. What in the world are the Hawks doing that’s causing the Sedins to punch Bolland in the back of the head, jam Seabrook into the crossbar, and make kindling over Versteeg? Are the Hawks dirty and I’m missing it? Is it really goading them that much that Lu is getting ticky-tacked on occasion? Or is it just that the Hawks are winning? Why are the Nucks (and the Sedins) so ticked off?
I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
I said this earlier on another thread
They think they are better and can’t understand why they are losing. Sedin thinks he is better than Bolland. Bolland is controlling him. When your coach basically says Toews is a cheater, I think all is lost, and they know it.
I call it the slow burn
Chewing gum?
If you check out their numbers since game 1
I think that’s all you need to know. They’ve been disappointing to say the least. Keith and Seabrook are not only keeping them in the minus column but keeping pace with them in points. Our defensemen are matching their top scorers. That’s gotta hurt.
by Andrew Cieslak on May 8, 2010 6:35 PM CDT up reply actions
A Vancouver article referred to Bolland as an irritant
or something along those lines. But again, what’s he doing to the Sedins? Other than playing against them on every shift, is he slashing them after the whistle? Cross checking behind the scenes? Saying mean things? Why is he the villian in this matchup?
I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Didn't one of the Hawks say that Bolland isn't known for it but he's got a real filthy mouth on him?
Even if that’s true – what could be possibly say to the Sedins that they’d never heard before? Must be impressively filthy.

Did anyone else notice the moron Nuck fans booing and chanting bullshit on these calls? I can understand being upset with questionable hooking calls or getting an extra for a fight when your guy didn’t start it, but these were all pretty blatant. Are they so delusional that they think they should get away with crap like that? Do they not understand the rules? I just don’t get it. I re-watched the game today with my dad, who missed the game last night, and I counted about eight more glaring penalties that could have been called on the Nucks. It seems like the refs were actually giving them some slack, which they hung themselves with.

Hmmmmmm
a) Hey if nothing else it makes for some interesting posts and gets some juices flowing….not all bad on a blog methinks
b) Question – Meeshak, you have shown to be pretty intellectual on here. Do YOU think someone telling people “Hey, don’t write FUCK YEAH” after a goal is right?" I don’t like a shitload of stuff on here and state that here and there, but I don’t say “You can’t say that”. In either case am I confrontational because I basically stated my opinion that it’s not up to anyone to tell me how to or not to celebrate a goal on here?
c) If not, then I suppose I am confrontational because I passed the asshat back? Question: Why is laaarmer not confrontational in your mind for calling ME an asshat (well, besides the obvious but that’s TOO easy a set up). Just asking.
well, i don’t really want to get into this discussion, which is the whole reason i made an off-topic comment, but i agreed with you and purposely didn’t comment on anything laaarmer said. i like laaarmer, and certainly feel for his pain living in MI, but i don’t really get complaining about the posting of FUCK YEAHs after a goal. there are, like, 1000 comments per game, so you’re talking about less than 1% of all comments.
and i guess i am intellectual, which is about the worst compliment i can imagine, or the weakest insult, but i’m not really sure what that has to do with this whole conversation.

"your coach basically says Toews is a cheater, I think all is lost"
Did anyone catch the NHL network guys immediately after the game? They lit into the Canucks with “Who’s the leader in the locker room? Is it the coach? The captain? Because no one is leading this team apparently.”
I thought that was a pretty stinging accusation from “impartial” commentators. They seemed totally incredulous as to how the Canucks could have such a meltdown in such an important game. (Hence my earlier question of why are they so angry.)

Somebody was picking on Kane and his mouthguard a few threads back
It was some NM guy/girl. Anyway, if you happen to watch the Sharks – Hillbilly game tonight when they show Franzen on the bench, CHECK OUT HIS MOUTHGUARD. He is chewing it just like our Kane.
Those of you who played, the mouth guard chewing is a bad habit that youth players get in to because the cheap mouth guards that connect to the cage are easy to take out and therefore easy to chew. I have since given my kids mouth guards formed by the dentist. They cannot take them out with the helmet cage combo on, and therefore cannot chew on them. The mouth guard is one of the most important pieces of equipment with regards to concussion. It needs to be in the mouth and secure on the teeth to be effective.

That last Nuck Goal Yesterday...
Long time lurker here, first post…
I hated to see that 4th goal last night but in a way was relieved that it might make the VC think they still had a chance and wouldn’t totally goon it up and try to take out a Hawk for real. I doubt VC will play as dumb tomorrow and it could turn out to be one of the more competitive games of the series, unless Lu takes another crap.
All along I thought getting by Nashville would be the toughest part of this whole deal, but anything can and usually does happen in NHL playoffs…
Welcome, fellow Sox fan!
Warning: VC’s “green men” are at the cell… (I guess “the cell” sounds like a penalty box)
I agree that getting past Nashville was much more difficult than most realize.
Edzo commented that you could see the Hawks getting out of their “Nashville” mode in the first period of game 2… (they sure looked lost in game 1)
Regarding the gooning, I actually lost count how many times Buff was hit in the face (using the butt end or shaft of the stick) last night by the “Visor Kittens”.
"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger."
Avoiding the issue of the fans completely,
seeing the past three games, when will people stop referring to Luongo as a “world class” goalie. Being good in the regular season is great and all, but it’s all about performance come playoff time. Ask the Sharks about that. You’ve let one team have three (THREE?!?!) playoff hat-tricks against you, and two in consecutive games. Yes, the defense has some hand in the blame, but ultimately it’s up to the goalie to stop the puck. The ‘Nucks haven’t ever even been to the WCF in this incarnation. The Sedins still have been scoring, Samuelsson still is a tool, as is Kesler, and even with Burrows sitting in the corner with his purse not doing much, the blame has to lie with Lou.

I agree
From all his quotes about how he makes the first stop and they need to work harder to get the rebounds out of there. A world class goalie wouldn’t give up as many rebounds and a world class captain would take responsibility for giving up those rebounds. Luongo hasn’t done either…
I have a lot of issues with the Captaincy over there...
Having been a Goalie, I just can’t see how doing that can be a good idea.
A goalie needs to focus on so many things already without added the baggage of being Captain.
Not only do I feel he is a poor Captain, I truly feel it makes him less of a Goalie.
Are they so short of leadership on that team they have to make their goalie Captain? I think not.

The way Toews embarrassed Luongo and burried that shot with Forslund’s call of “NO MISTAKE!”……..I loved it, so fittingly badass. Luongo was like a fish out of water on that goal, partly because I think he thought that toews was going to one-time that puck and Toews first quick movement settled the puck before he rifled it by Lu.
2) One of these days, I’m going to lay off of Versteeg, but seriously, how dumb was him changing while the puck was in the neutral zone on that kill in the first period? Also, he had a couple real bad turnovers, one lead to a breakaway stop by niemi and the other was the fourth goal. I’d like to see a nice clean game from Steeg tomorrow.
Ditto for CNS
What were the fans chanting?
Other than the overdone “Luuuu” chants, the fans were doing a lot of chanting last night, but I couldn’t figure out what they were saying. One time I think they were chanting “bullshit” after a penalty call, but another time I thought I heard something “Hossa”-ish but I couldn’t figure it out, and then other times they were chanting stuff and I just had no idea what they were saying. Anyone catch any of that?
I heard alot of "bullshit"
and they had enough penalties that I think we heard it quite a bit

Its sad
I actually have a lot of friends who are Canucks fans, obviously not from Vancouver, but they are fun people to watch a hockey game with. This series has been fun for all of us (OK, its a lot more fun for me but that’s beside the point) To see the fans at the game behave so poorly is well, sad.

Actually
at a Hawks game not too long ago (maybe the Preds series, maybe right at the end of the season), a large contingent of fans started the “bullshit” chant on one of the few calls the ref got right that night. A pretty blatant hold by a Hawk, if I recall, but that’s beside my po
No fan base is immune.
That said, the fans at GM sure didn’t exhibit much hockey acumen with their seeming inability to recognize an obvious penalty on several different occasions.
teaching respect for the Indian, one Red Wing fan at a time.
I know that happened at game2 of the Preds series
because I was there. I don’t remember if the call was wrong or right though, but it can be hard to see from the 300 level.
watching from up there can make it challenging
especially with out replay. A lot of time at home I’m all “ARE YOU SERIOUS? THAT WAS….actually totally a penalty. Whoops.”
Watch it with the jinxing!
Time for some thrillin' heroics!
I still think it was a bullshit call
I was there and proudly chanted bullshit. I am probably completely wrong, but it’s still bullshit.
I believe it was Game 2
And I’m pretty sure it was that horrible GI call (Versteeg I think?) when Rinne came way outta the crease to play the puck and took out Versteeg’s legs. I chanted bullshit as well.

Was that the no goal
because the whistle blew early?
that was it
it was a TMM penalty that got blown while the Hawks were on a breakaway.
Lots of anger at that, even though the refs are allowed to blow a TMM penalty whenever, I believe.
I don't know the rule too well
but I think people were upset because it should’ve been a delayed penalty
Pretty much
the rule doesn’t state when the whistle should be blown, but the Hawks were on a 2-1 and it was Preds TMM, so really, I believe the refs should’ve waited.
Here are the rules, if anyone cares.
74.1 Too Many Men on the Ice – Players and goalkeepers may be changed at any time during the play from the players’ bench provided that the player or players leaving the ice shall be within five feet (5’) of his players’ bench and out of the play before the change is made. Refer also to Rule 71 – Premature Substitution. At the discretion of the on-ice officials, should a substituting player come onto the ice before his teammate is within the five foot (5’) limit of the players’ bench (and therefore clearly causing his team to have too many players on the ice), then a bench minor penalty may be assessed.
74.2 Bench Minor Penalty – A bench minor penalty for too many men on the ice shall be assessed for a violation of this rule. This penalty can be assessed by the Referees or the Linesmen. Should a goal be scored by the offending team prior to the Referee or Linesman blowing his whistle to assess the bench minor penalty, the goal shall be disallowed and the penalty assessed for too many men on the ice.
You are right
but I do believe this is called inconsistently related to when to blow the whistle. If it’s a delayed whistle, I guess if I was the coach I’d send the whole team on the ice to get the puck. I’m assuming that if we have 1 2 3 or 15 extra men on the ice it’s still 2 minutes.
If it is a linesman calling it
Would that be the difference? A Linesman can not signal a delayed penalty (him raising his arm would be seen as indicating offsides, delayed offsides or icing) but a linesman can call TMM. If he is the one who sees it, perhaps his only option is to stop the play and let the Referee know of the TMM for the appropriate penalty. Can a linesman wait until after the next stoppage? I think that would be hard to do, since neither team would know a delayed penalty was being called. and would effect the game flow if the teams did know of the imminent call.

I just really can't get over the complete stupidity of the Canucks
I guess that’s the common flaw of all underachievers and I certainly welcome the gift, but still, wow. Before the series started they were saying publicly that it was a mistake to keep changing styles against the Hawks last year and this time around they were just going to attack, attack, attack and outskate the Hawks. That’s exactly what they did in game 1 and it worked very well for them.
The Hawks, on the other hand, had their least effective offensive game in game 1 and they have simplified their game and focused on legally getting to the net and have increased their offensive output in every game. This was a pretty effective adjustment. The Canucks, particularly Luongo and AV, started acting like this strategy was a) new, and b) illegal but not being called. It was neither.
But here’s the mindfuckingly stupid part that I just can’t get over, they decided that the best way to neutralize a problem they were having on the defensive end was to change their highly effective, 5 goal scoring skate hard, fast offensive strategy in favor of a get even first mentality. Man are they stupid. There’s no fucking logic that gets you from A to B here other than that they got their feelings hurt. I doubt they’ll consider a coaching change but watching a team self destruct in the same way two years in a row does not speak to a team that is mentally prepared to win in the playoffs.
And let’s give the Hawks a lot of credit here too. They are making the Canucks pay for every mistake, something that hadn’t been happening at this level in the second half of the season. They are really executing very well.

You're pretty much right.
I’m no sports psychiatrist or anything, but the similar melt-down behavior screams "Inferiority Complex’ to me.
All of their actions do.
You have the crying that everything the Hawks do is dirty, and illegal – which absolves themselves of blame for the outcome
You have the coaching meltdown too – We managed 103 points and the 3 seed in the playoffs by doing A, B, and C. Now that we’ve lost a game to the Hawks… we’re going to try D, E, and F because the Hawks can do it and win, so we’ll be able to also. That just screams “WE ARE AS GOOD AS THEM!”
Luongo is more worried about complaining to the refs, blaming the D, and making Louganis look bad, instead of the Hawks, that he’s completely ineffective. Canada won that Gold Medal IN SPITE OF Luongo, not BECAUSE OF Luongo.
That’s coaching. You f’ing nailed it. That team is NOT mentally prepareted to take on the playoffs. They are weak-willed, lack confidence (at least when it comes to playing the Blackhawks), and fall apart at the seams faster than some $5 running shoes.
I’d think a coaching change SHOULD be in order.
However, as you said – The Hawks are making them pay, and they are making this otherwise very good Hockey team look like boys amongst men… Its ugly – that’s a combination of how good the Hawks are, and how unprepared the Canucks are.

Canucks fans agreeing with Milbury has nothing to do with the perception. In the heat of the moment I agreed too. And if we had a guy wreaking havoc on your goalie and successfully getting into the heads of your team AND we were kicking your ass 3 games to 1 you might agree with his assessment as well. This isn’t ballet. I wish harm on Byfuglien. I wish somebody would crank him hard into the boards and injure him. That’s the Scott Stevens coming out in me. I like old school hockey. Milbury is old school. In a sense he was right. If SOB was going to crosscheck Buffy like that he may as well have tried to hurt him more. He’s going to the box anyways.

a relentless campaign of whining to my parents to take me to see Star Wars at the Olympic Theater on Cermak Road, in Cicero when it opened in 77…
They wouldn’t take me until THEY had gone and seen it, to ensure that it was “appropriate” for a 5 year old to watch it first.
I also remember my younger brother being scared so bad by the AT-ATs in the beginning of ESB that my father had to go to the lobby with him, and call our aunt to pick him up, and waiting in line with my aunt to go see ROTJ (and when it came out – Raiders of the Lost Ark)!

i'm going to disagree with everyone on this
the 4 IJ was exactly what you’d expect: the adventure mythology of the ’30s with mid-east relic hunting and an epic fight against Nazism is replaced with the ’50s obsession with aliens and the fight against the Reds.
but the CGI was horribly overdone. really my only bone to pick with it.

I'm just really surprised.
After last season’s elimination, I really thought the Nucks would come out with a vengance against us. They did in game 1, and I got fairly worried after the first 5 minutes in game 2. Then, after game 3, I thought for sure they were going to learn from their mistakes. I thought they would come out, and probably win one by going balls out. How quickly I forgot that they have none.
They may come out and try to rape the Hawks tomorrow night, but they seem so mindfucked right now that they aren’t even trying to play hockey. I can’t see them growing a pair in time to win 3 in a row.

I hope the killer instinct comes into play and they take them out early. Now, I’m all for winning with class, but if we get a big lead, I do want to see Eags drop on someone. It’s just the principle of the thing.
"Erin go Braugh". What the fuck does that mean?

NHL network
just showed an interview with Lu where he basically threw the rest of the team under the bus. Right after that O’brien had an interview where he sounded like it was all Lu’s fault. I don’t know if it is so much that we are in their heads. Maybe they just aren’t working as a “team” any more.
I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out.

they need to do some team building exercises
like a ropes course or that falling backwards thing.
…but who could catch Wellwood?
Watch it with the jinxing!
Time for some thrillin' heroics!
Just put Lu under him
he spends most of his time on his belly or back anyway

or maybe this is their team-building exercise
we all drop our season, and then the rest of the team will catch us!
wait, uh, if they’re dropping the season, then who’s there to catch them?

wait a minute here,
let’s not make some gross generalizations. I’m sure there are some upstanding players on the Canucks. I mean, there’s burrows … o’brien … luongo … kesler … Danielle/Henrika … AV …meatloaf?
scratch that, they’re all d-bags

What did O'brien say?
I saw Lu’s blaming interview but missed SOB’s. What was the gist of his comments?

I rewound my Tivo to get this right
Giving up 6 is not good enough. He is one of our best players and he needs to be our best player. Everyone needs to play their best. It starts with him and works it’s way out.

Wow. That tends to contradict what the assistant coach said
during the game. When asked why they were taking so many penalties trying to beat up Buff, the asst. coach said it’s because they care about Lu so much and don’t like seeing him getting mistreated by the Hawks so much. Their emotions over their Captain were too hard to contain.
Maybe not so much after a loss?

just lots of finger pointing

that would imply that SOB
was really crosschecking Lu’s head in some weird Freudian sense

Hoping Kaner is smart
and with some luck during the handshakes we can see him say to Luongo, “See you at the Olympics in 4 years”

I found this picture up from Fear The Fin

Murray - Franzen
I have the luxury/curse of being able to watch the FSN Detroit feeds for Wings games (thankfully not any more though). Mickey Redmond says the hit that Murray put on Franzen changed the game completely and that is why the Wings lost. It was a bullshit hit. Murray should have gotten some time in the box if not more, but The Sharks are going to win that game with or without Murray. The Wings are old and tired and The Sharks wanted to win more.
Why am I posting this? This is how the Sharks are going to go after their next opponent. As the Versus announcers said last night “They are hitting to hurt”.
Watch out for these dickheads.
Chewing gum?
Hitting to Hurt...
Heaven forbid the Canucks have to play them, half the team and the coach will be crying after game 1.
Hopefully this series will be over after tonight and we’ll have a chance to lay a few licks on those pesky Sharks ourselves, would be an awesome series.
Murray can flat out hit.........
Sharks are what "Canucks’ are lacking…. size and discipline…..If Canucks move on to play them…get the body bags ready(anti jinx applied)
"Trying is the first step towards failure" Homer Simpson
Sharks have discipline?
Six guys in the box at once during the Avs series and four in the box at once during the Wings series. That’s not discipline in my book.

Good Afternoon All
FUCK SCUM (hahahahahaha)
I want the Hawks to come out and not just beat, but destroy this Nuck team tonight. Let them get on with blaming the Refs for ALL of their bad breaks (God forbid they actually looked at there team as a reason for things, and certainly not LU) and the reason their post-season went the way it did. Finish the Deed tonight Guys, and let LU have his annual post-season ending tearful press comments, and blame his teammates, refs, bad ice, out of spec larger than normal net, bad equipment, “magic” Hawk pucks, the Hawks having 28 players on the ice at once, bad fans in Vancouver, Bad fans in Chicago, the bench gave him splinters in his ass, cold showers, hot locker room, the ice was too cold, the ice was too warm, Jerseys were to white, Jerseys were too dark, the red-line moved on him, the post only deflect pucks into the net, I WON A FUCKING GOLD MEDAL it’s not my fault speech.

+1 For the definitive Reboundo LuonGOAL excuse machine dissertation!
Everyone dies. It is the only true and lasting justice in life.
Last year I took my camera to the game
and got a great shot of the Caknuckleheads with their heads down on the ice after the game. Bringing same camera tonight for luck.
Wear the same underwear too just to be safe!
