Die Another Day: Blackhawks 7 - Canucks 2

PrintOh what a difference a Dave makes. You hate to put an entire game or series on one man's back but when that man finally shows up and the team plays the game we've all been waiting for.. well it's hard not to. In his first game since Pavel Kubina attempted a lobotomy on him in the neutral zone, Dave Bolland made no mistake of his importance to his team. 4 points, a +4 and nearly 16 minutes of TOI that helped limit everyone else's exposure. If I'm not mistaken, I even saw 36 throw a few hits and continue his tradition of being an all-around pain in the ass for everyone not wearing an Indian head. He's showed no rust in getting not only back into playing form.. but seems to have made the leap directly into playoff form we've all missed so dearly.
Everyone else around him played an inspired game as well. Whether it is too little too late remains to be seen but consider me fully on board this optimist wave. There are plenty of places to read some negative statements about the Hawks' chances and I can't blame them. But looking forward to the next game is just a fuck ton more fun... so I'm going with that. The Hawks haven't been blown out quite the way it may have seemed in the previous three games, so if they can put together another effort similar to what we saw tonight, I see no reason to be anything less than thrilled that we still get to see at least one more game.
This Kings/Sharks game is far too fun.. so lets get down to it
- Lets get it out of the way - John Scott was once again useless except for the brief moment where it seemed like he may get to pound the shit out of Tanner Glass. And I was really hoping he might get that chance. I'm not sure what happened when he drew the misconduct with Raffi Torres either.. but that would have been another good chance to see what he could do.
The sad fact is that he didn't get to do anything with either of these opportunities. In one case, the other team was smarter... in the second.. I don't really know. Either way, he isn't going to be an effective player at this point in the season. We've ragged on him all season but obviously we stand and cheer when he destroys someone like Westgarth. The Canucks aren't going to give him the opportunity to do anything like that though... so he doesn't have a reason to skate. Sorry... - John Scott did manage 20 minutes of penalties in a single period... that's kinda cool
- Even with Scott's eight and half minutes.. the Hawks were at least able to keep things reasonable in regards to others TOI. Campbell led the team with just over 25 minutes. 6 goals in a row will do that for you though. A lead like that lets Q rest his top lines which was much needed.
- A few flashes of life from the top lines tonight. Everyone had at least one point though plenty still haven't broken out of their slumps. We're waiting.. and we've got at least one more to see it.
- Early reports are in on Luongo being chased/being injured... doctors say he needs a backiotomy.
- Lord Byron Bickell... where did that come from my friend?
- Did the penalty boxes get the same expansions we've seen in the 300 level bars? How many damn people can you fit into those things now? The Canucks seemed determined to find out...
- Ryan Johnson was a bit over excited tonight... not at faceoffs, he only won 25% of those. Instead, he decided to try and even things up with more than one questionable hit. One of which was called for a penalty. Meh
- Kevin Bieksa remains a piece of shit, just in case there was any doubt
- Did anyone not see Patrick Sharp's first goal coming a mile away? A three on two power play rush with Kane holding the puck and Sharp trailing? Sharp lifted his stick simply waiting for that sure to come pass and everyone screamed "there it is!" about a minute before it happened.
- Kings - Smyth/Sharks - Setoguchi
- Hawks in 7
Player of the Game:
No doubt about this one.. .welcome back Rat
Fels Here: We very well may not get to do this again this season, so let's not waste any more time.

If you put yourself in a 3-0 hole
against the team with the top record in the league you can’t go around gloating over one win. Especially when you won 16 in the post season before.
I'm not going to be a complete optimist
but we have seen the 8th seed come back and knock off the President’s Trophy winners before.
It's all fun and games until Crosby cries. Then it's frackin' hilarious.
one game at a time
I try not to look at stats of the past. Anything can happen in the playoffs.
There's always hope, and no matter what you can't take 2010 away from me.
I'm just happy that I get to see another game
And some more Bolland.
I cannot overstate how impressed I am with his ability to return from a concussion and play like he did.

Tanner and Bieksa get Gutless Fucks of the year award
Big tough guys who take on players smaller than them with blind side hits and flying elbows, but when someone actually challenges them face to face, they go looking for the refs and their mommies to bail them out. Behind every bully is a coward, and they proved it last night. Smart of them to decline Scott’s invite? Perhaps, but I’m leaning much more towards showing the world what wanton pussies they really are.

"Change the channel, Mike Milbury is making my IQ drop"
torres too
scott tol him he was going to beat his ass before they tossed both of them. he probably crapped himself and seemed entirely happy about being tossed before the puck dropped. his response to fluffy was oh ok, good for you. sounds really tough!!!! fucking pussy ref should’ve let him take the punishment he has coming that the league wouldn’t dish out
what's next?
Better yet...
As deft with his mouth as Scott has proven to be from time to time, he should not have given Torres an option. He should have dropped his gloves and commenced to whipping his ass. Just like he should have done with Glass earlier, but if the big plan was to put a fluffy on someone, he made the right first choice by leaving Glass alone if he was saving it for Torres…
He just should have made good on what he said he was going to do before the puck dropped.
Everyone dies. It is the only true and lasting justice in life.

but that was only Gooch’s second playoff goal. How does he have so few? Either way, it makes the prediction even more impressive.
That stat is surprising you
Because it’s wrong. This was his eighth. I believe he has 2 overtime goals in the playoffs.

What a difference a game makes
You guys were so upset this afternoon and now I love seeing you all so happy. Great game by Bolland, looks like you guys are well on your way to being the fourth team in NHL history to come back from 3-0 because of him. Just thought i’d remind you of the odds since most of you might not have watched hockey before 2006 ;)
Nice win, see you in game 5
P.S. Bolland never should have played with that concussion.
Didn't the Flyers
Get some players back just in time for game 4, right before their massive come-back? Just saying. (I understand it’s a long shot, but hell, might as well keep the hope alive)

Deal is if the Canucks lose I won’t post on SCH again this post season. If the Canucks win you, or whoever takes the bet has to go onto both NM and SCH within an hour of noon est. the day after the win and post a comment in all caps that says"I LOST THE BET AND CANUCKELHEAD IS THE SMARTEST HOCKEY FAN ALIVE AND THE CANUCKS RULE".

I knew he wasn’t actually crying and the defense of Luongo’s crying was meant to be tongue in cheek. As was saying “Or do I know more then you can imagine?”
Lighten up guys, it’s just a comment section. All that being said I will make you all very happy, since I seem to offended so many of your delicate sensibilities. I promise not to comment again for the rest of the playoffs.
I hope you guys like the Bulls too cause you only have one more hockey game to cheer for.

This is a bullshit reason
I’ve had friends who have done the following while drunk:
Puked on the floor
Pissed on one of my other friends who was passed out (hilarious for everyone but him)
Fallen through a window
Fallen through a table
Gotten with sisters of friends
And we were pissed at them all, do you know why? Because being drunk isn’t an excuse for being a douchebag. Adios moron.
"Change the channel, Mike Milbury is making my IQ drop"
I will gladly admit that I am late to the party on the Canuckelhead situation.
I still don’t hate him, but he is now on par with VCD and Section in my book – I will have all three of them on insta-ignore now.
(for the most part at least – I know that I sometimes lack a solid don’t read them commitment)

So now you're a medical doctor
You continue to beclown yourself with every subsequent posting – we all were worried whether or not he was ready, but since we have actual competent hospitals here and doctors who don’t leave because they aren’t paid commensurately for their skills, I’m wiling to give them the benefit of the doubt. And btw, I’ve been watching hockey longer than when you first crapped your diapers, so fuck off.

This guy gets me too annoyed at times, so I post without performing the necessary functions. Time for him to go.
I don't think
You know enough about the Canadian medical system to comment on it, stick to hockey.
Ryan Kesler for MVP
I know enough to the read the Canadian government stats
And if you’re going to get on your high horse about it, tell the troll to refrain from making armchair medical proclamations in the future. Sounds fair?
Dear Wayon,
Your post states that the Canadian health care system is inadequate without competent hospitals and that doctors are underpaid and fleeing the country. My wife is a health care professional and I can assure you that we have wonderful hospitals filled with very competent doctors and if you get sick or need surgery in Canada it will not bankrupt you.
Also statistically, life expectancy and infant mortality rates are significantly better in Canada that they are in the US. What stats are you referring to? It is more likely you are angry about hockey and whatever troll you are arguing with and talking out your ass about Canadian healthcare which, I repeat, you know nothing about. Stick to hockey.
Ryan Kesler for MVP
and we're going to stop this right here
There's always hope, and no matter what you can't take June 2010 away from me.
you suck at math
ever hear of conditional probability? The Hawks chances are roughly 1 in 8 (12.5%)- not great, but if there was a 12.5% chance a piano was gonna fall on your head, i’m guessing the thought would occupy a small part of your consciousness. sweet dreams.

[whispers] I sexually assaulted Scottie Pippen in 1997.
Wow wow wow
So many good things came out of tonight.
Number one is obviously the win and the chance to play another game. Limiting the big guys’ minutes was huge but that’ll happen any time you have a 6-1 lead. Bolland coming back…THAT was needed. The guy is a stud in the playoffs and all of the Nucks fans that were talking shit and downplaying his importance…well there you go. See what he can do for this team? He made his linemates so much better all while shutting down the twins. A -7 for them tonight. Yeah, that’s Davey Bolland. Imagine how this series would have looked with him healthy from the start…
Luongo getting pulled, another big positive from this game. I don’t think he’ll have a repeat performance in game 5, but if the Hawks can make it out alive, it should help us in game 6. (Speaking of which, I foolishly told my friends I’d buy them tickets if a game 6 were to happen, but at this point, I don’t think I’d really care about the money). Back on track…Lu will probably have a pretty solid game next time around (if he’s healthy), but just blowing him up for that many goals…it should do wonders for our confidence. At the same time though, I hope our guys don’t get too cocky. This win happened because we limited their chances and played very solid positional hockey. Don’t expect the Nucks to play that poorly again.
Did anybody else notice how many penalties the Nucks took after being down a few goals? Or how much less physical they were? It’s crazy how much a lead can impact the opposition’s play style.
Repeat this effort next game, and I have no doubt we’ll be seeing a game 6 at the UC. Get a win in game 5 and we have ourselves a series.
Another thing I wanted to mention
If we do pull off a win in game 5, the 3 days off will do a world of good for our guys.
I should be happier about this win...
And don’t get me wrong, I am pretty thrilled. I loved everything about it: The (fantastic) return of Bolland, the scoring from all over the place, the intensity from the word “Go”, chasing “The World’s Greatest Goalie” early in the 3rd. Really the only the thing missing from this game was a Scott fist to the face…
But even with all of that I can’t help but think about those first three games. What if the Hawks, in just one of those games, get lucky on a bounce or a call by the ref or hell just play better… What if they would have just taken one of those games?
We would be sitting here talking about how, with the series tied at 2, the Hawks would (in my mind at least) be the favorite and Luongo (and all of Vancouver) would be in full on shitting their pants mode.
Oh well, a good win is a good win. I’m not going to jump all in and say Hawks in 7, but I would like to see this series go 7… If for no other reason just to see Nucks fans sweat.

Frolik
didn’t realize what a monster game he had until I saw the highlights. He was the huge factor in the Keith goal, in the Bolland goal and needed to make a skillful finish while drawing a penalty on that breakaway. Where did this come from?
him playing his natural position
with a good center.

by putmeinthemadhouse on Apr 20, 2011 1:33 AM CDT up reply actions
No Doubt
Frolik looked so natural out there with Bolland. He was going into the boards popping out pucks knowing Bolland was going to be there. On Bollands goal he was standing on the empty net side waiting for a one timer keeping Lou’s attention. If this line can play anything like that next game we might get another one at the U.C.
I would be interested in seeing what a Frolick?Bolland/Hossa line could do over some time
Confusion will be my epitaph.
The Cup is ours until someone takes it from us.
It needs more cowbell.
Loves me some Bolly,
but how much of the credit should go to the fact we finally had four professional centers on our team for a hockey game and none of them were named Dowell or Sharp?

I count
Toews, Bolly, RJ and Kruger. I think Sharp play wing most (if not all) of the game.
Ok
then 5 centers > the three centers we have had recently.
I don't think he'll ever win the Hart
but Davey Bolland will prolly win a Conn Smythe at some point.

The defensive work by the Hawks was great.
Bolland, Kane, & Smith really back checked well. Campbell is one hell of a skater. I still can’t believe Brian Bickell scored that goal and I’ve seen the highlight now multiple times.
To put it plainly; Seeing that game live was Amazing!
I can’t wait for the puck drop Thursday. The Hawks are completely back in it!

I don’t expect the Nucks to come out the next game as flat as they did tonight. It will be interesting to see how the Hawks show up on Thursday.
Questions: Will Seabs be back? That would help with the John Scott problem.
Will the Nucks take more runs at us like the did the first 2 games? The refs will play a big part if they Nucks resort to their usual dirty play.
Will Hossa ever score? It would really help a lot if he would.
Remember, there’s always hope. And hope is a good thing. GO HAWKS!
"Dave was there!"
"Dave's a killer!"
"Dave's a mess."
I hope I'm wrong
but I’m expecting Seabs to be out at least a week. Unless he stubbed his toe on the way to the rink this morning I’m guessing it’s a head scrambler.
I think
After the second hit he seemed to favor it and he used his good arm to throw something down the tunnel when he went to the room. Not something a concussed guy usually does.

He got hit pretty hard
again by Torres not long after he came back on the ice. He said he was sore to the beat reporters but being sore wouldn’t keep him out of a game. I’m guessing they gave him the concussion test and he failed, because it seemed like a surprise after the morning skate when they announced he was out.
Either way I hope you’re right and I hope I’m wrong. Seabrook has had many of his best games against the Canucks and the Hawks don’t have a defenseman that can mirror his style of play, even at a lesser level.
Based on what?
What the team disclosed? Cause that was nothing.

From David Haugh, Chicago Tribune sportswriter
Tonight’s article, writing about the game, contained the following:
Bolland was referring to the Canucks’ Raffi Torres’ cheap shot Sunday in Game 3 that gave Brent Seabrook a concussion and kept the defenseman out of Tuesday’s game but didn’t result in a major penalty or league suspension — as it should have.

Getting sick of Scott getting mis-conducts for just thinking of killing the opposing player…..esp with Torres. This has happened more then once this season with Scott. Zebras need to be fair to kick out all players who have “bad intent” Ruins a big part of his game. Scott needs to mess with a Sedin and take Sedin out for 10 min hunks of the game
"Trying is the first step towards failure" Homer Simpson
To be honest
Before Scott started playing for the Hawks, I didn’t even know you could take a player out just for the looks he gave an opposing player.

I have to say... If he were to do so (take a Sedin for 10 min, that is), it would shut them down for
that whole 10 minutes.
I laugh every time one of them carries into our zone, and Foley is all over the “Henrik carries into the zone…. Looking for Daniel… Looking for Daniel. Where is Daniel?”
It is quite amusing, but so much more truth.
If it wasn’t real, it wouldn’t be as funny.

I know I'm on an island, but
I don’t think Scott was nearly as ineffective as the recap suggests. Maybe he wasn’t effective, but he went mostly unnoticed except for the zebras and the team in white crapping their pants when he challenged them. And that to me is an effective Scott performance.
When he plays defense
he’s not as bad as when he plays forward. The only problem when he plays defense is he keeps taking these 10 minute penalties and that effectively puts the Hawks down to 5 defensemen. But his play on the ice, given realistic expectations of what he’s capable of, is decent as a defenseman.
And,
it is impossible to measure how much less douchbaggery the Nucks committed since Scott was on the playing roster.

Cullimore would be ok I think
He can skate decently and would probably eat up more minutes than Scott, while taking fewer penalties. Knowing Q though, I wouldn’t be surprised if Scott was in next game. Quenneville isn’t a fan of messing with a winning roster.
I say that if Seabs can't go, you dress Scott again.
I have never been a Scott apologist, but as pointed out above, when he is playing D, he is typically far less noticeable and the Nucks appear to tone down their douche-baggery a bit when he is out there.
To me, that alone is worth his 8 minutes. If you keep them from throwing themselves at our D men, and trying to kill everyone under 6’ tall on the ice all night, our guys are far more effective at both ends. We saw it last night, in action.
If Seabs can’t go – you dress 32.

The thing with Bolland though is that the best stuff he does will not show up in the stat sheet.
You’ve got to look at how he was in the Sedin’s heads last year during the playoffs. He wasn’t all over the stat sheets, but you had better believe that he has an impact on the game that gets played out there on the ice.
We’d been saying since the series started, that Bolland would have changed a lot of things that happened out there, last night he did.
Is that enough to spark a 4 game run? Potentially. Is it likely to do so? In all reality, no.
Your team still has the sincere upper-hand in this series. They are up 3 – 1. All they have to do is win one game, at any time and they are good. They aren’t in trouble unless we win two more, clearly. If that happens, then the doubts will have set in, and the questions will start.
There is pressure on our guys right now to stay alive. There is pressure on your guys to not melt-down… Both teams have to be hungry, but the pressure still has to be more on your team than ours after last night. Our team is on the brink. If they go out there and give 110% and lose… They are done. If your team does the same, what happens?
Everyone dies. It is the only true and lasting justice in life.
Nobody expects him to put up 4 points
that’s not really what he’s asked to do. But the Canucks top line had their worst game up against him. Either that was a fluke/coincidence or an indication of a change in the series. Find out on Thursday.

his addition really gave us three new players besides Bolly. Brower reappears for a hockey game for the first time in a month and Fro looks like a great checking line forward. Sharp gets to move back to wing – where he is much better.

I don't like Sharpie at center.
We lose an excellent winger and, with the exception of yesterday, we get a center who does not take his defensive responsibilities seriously.
I say that Sharpie's defensive responsibilities as Center are usually very sound.
He was nails last year, while centering “Sharpie and the Slovaks” all year long.
I’m not concerned about that. The guy plays responsibly. I believe that the start to this year is kind of flukey.

I’m a moron, so if you put me on skates, and threw me out there, I’d fight Bieksa over the BS he’s pulled out there from time to time. I’m full of bravado and all that, thinking I’m a bad-ass and the whole nine yards.

Uh, that wasn't what you'd call an "attempt" by any means
That was a poor amateur theatrical production by any viewpoint – the guy puts his hands up while all the time looking around for a ref, any ref, to come please bail him out. That’s what happens when bullies are finally challenged by someone who can actually hurt them, and they’re exposed as cowards. Bieksa and the rest of the leaping goons can’t put up when it’s time to shut up, and Scott served that purpose nicely, if nothing else.
so you are calling Stals a bully now?
I was talking about Stals attempting to fight Bieska here.

Consider Chris Campoli's character
23+ minutes, most spent other places than behind the Canuck’s net. Plus he was yapping like a dog at pound. I’m sure most of those minutes came in the 3rd when the Hawks were up a ton to give Cambell and Keith some shifts off, but it’s nice to see all the same.
I think Scott’s taking of that misconduct, albiet one that probably wasn’t deserved, was the stupidiest thing I’ve seen him do all year. With that lead going into the third, he only could have done two things to help us: beat the Sedins faces against the glass at the same time or soak up tons of minutes to give the horses a rest. Since the former not likey, he should have focused on the latter. Then he got ejected. What a tit-head.
by Billy Charlesbois on Apr 20, 2011 3:08 AM CDT reply actions
I think that's the problem with Scott though ...
he’s too much of a talker. That’s fine when you’re on the bench but even Eddie called him out about not mixing it up enough when Campoli got rushed in the beginning of the third. I’d rather see him give a guy the stinky glove to the face move than explain to him that he’s going to beat him up at a future date.

I beg to differ.
I think the interference call he took in game 3 was the stupidest thing I’ve seen him do all year.

"Trying is the first step towards failure" Homer Simpson
True
That the N.H.L. has openly promoted their officiating call penalties based on the outcome and not the act.It can only be a matter of time before it becomes the Italian soccer team out there. Everyone diving like a Sedin, any contact leaves a player on ice refusing to get up. A coach wanting to win would be smart to teach his players to stay down on contact.
Seabrook gets up, Torres gets 2 minutes and Seabs out for unknown time, he stays down, game misconduct and suspension. Only makes sense.
no matter
what happens or doesn’t happen the rest of the series, that game was FUN. it was fun to watch, and it looked like it was fun to play, and the Hawks gripped their sticks a little less tightly.
particularly entertaining given that there were Nucks fans near where i was sitting. (they were polite, though—several had driven all day from Toronto to come to the game.)

25 minutes of drear- Hawks playing ok, game tied, same ole same ole, waiting for the other shoe of Damocles to drop, textbook 2010-11 script, and then…
a thought pervades the UC: “another 35 minutes and we come clean out our lockers tomorrow.” and the switch flipped.
So far and away the best hockey of the year it’s preposterous. Orgasmic. I have made my peace with this season.
Still a longshot, but 19, 81, and 88 have yet to score this series.

he can’t shoot correctly.
Or he has a back problem.

Im glad the Sharks won. They have a better shot to knock off Vancouver.
Scott should not have even given Glass the opportunity to turn down that fight. Glass was seeking him out, grabbed him and slashed him. Scott should ask not questions and wait for no answers in that situation. That was the time to open up a can on someone being up 6-1 with 10 minutes to go in the 3rd period. Formalities be dammed in that situation.

For a #6 d-man, not a huge liability- he used his wingspan for a couple effective pokes last night.
But (sorry ladies) that sopping vagina Torres- his shifts consisted of skating little circles near the bench and being allergic to the puck.
After Scott’s 2nd misconduct, when he was gone for the night, the Nucks started hitting.
The Hawks have munchkin d-men (especially with Seabs out) and are thin on heft up front. Scott changes the whole atmosphere.

Me
athead here.
I liked his limited play last night, and it’s insane how much more comfortable he is defending a forecheck than he is initiating one, but I still thought he was too slow to connect on the hits he wanted.
I’m scared, though, about match-ups in couver. The idea of Scott trapped in our own zone with Sedinsquared … eesh. Eesh. Also, if it’s a close game, and it will be, how many minutes does he get? He got 8:28 in a blow out.
www.mjt.org
not convinced
hoping for big hits from Scott is uselss, and his minutes will be limited (would have got more last night but for the misconducts) but it seems to me his presence on the bench is a factor.
guys like Torres and Glass- yeah, go ahead and make the big hit, but know you can’t pull that tough guy shit and shrink away from a fight with Scott later- it’s the tough guy code.
anyway, they played like lambs last night. game 5 will be different, right Reboundo (here again with Bolland on the brain)?
"He’s just like any of their players," Luongo said. "We’ve got to play him hard. We’ve got to play him physical. That’s what made us win the first three games.

8:28 in a blowout
in which he had 20PIMs in the 3rd period. He gets a lot more time if there was just a fight instead of a 10min misconduct. Might have actually made it to 10 MIN!
Lord Stanley's new home is Sweet Home Chicago!
I'm less scared about him getting trapped in his own zone
sooner or later that happens to everyone. But what frightened me was how many times he kept trying to join the rush up the ice as though he were a forward and not a defenseman. I’m more worried about transition going back the other way.
I still think Cullimore would be a lateral move and having Scott in the lineup forces the Canucks to think about a few things. Since you Q wouldn’t play either guy more than about 7-8 minutes in a close game either way I’m fine with dressing Scott as a D man with Seabrook out. I don’t want to see him playing forward though.
I'd rather Scott join the rush than his D partner

I mean, that was just ludicrous last night – they guy didn’t hit anyone, not even a facial. All he did was drop the gloves, and poof, he’s gone.
he's gotta be smarter
just STFU Scott. save it for the papers.
I give him some slack for bieng mouthy last night, because it was such a blow-out. Here’s a comment from after the game I enjoyed:
“Oh, Bieksa, what a joke,” Scott said. “He said before I was in the lineup, Scott can’t even skate, we’ll skate around him and he gets beat wide by (Bryan Bickell). Maybe he has to get some skating lessons after practice.”
We like our people!
Tanner Glass needed new pants for Thursday
How fast did that guy back down when he realized Scott was serious. Did that dumbass even know he was slashing Scott?
But yes, actions speak louder than words during the game.
What were we talking about?
Yeah,
just skate up quietly and beat the living shit out of him. THEN, say: “I’m sorry, were you expecting a warning? Q put me on the ice, dumbshit, THAT was your warning.”

Agreed 100%. Why the hell didn't Scott just grab him and start beating his ass? What's Glass or anyone else going to do about it?

I appreciate the fact that Scott isn't a goon, but there's a time when it's time to be the asshole
If you’re in a fight, and you’re trying to fight clean but your opponent is kicking, biting, and gouging, it’s time to drop the standards and fight on the same level

I sort of disagree. Glass slashed and grabbed him. IMO thats basically asking to fight, when the guy you slash and grab is a well known fighter.
Its not like Scott went after him….it was the other way around.

You know, no matter what happens
As good of a team they clearly are, they’ve shown, in my opinion, that they can lack the mental fortitude to really go far. You can say its just one game, they’ve got the lead and both those things are true, but if not the Hawks then some other team is going to capitalize on the brain farts that will definitely be coming. I know people *cough*vcd*cough* talked about how they are mentally sound and different from the past – and overall I think this is definitely true. They’ve got a lot of confidence and that is great for them and also true. But all there needs to be is 1 game where they show weakness and things can change very quickly.

Henrik Sedin on Bolland BEFORE the game
“He’s just another player,” Canucks captain Henrik Sedin said. “It’s one of those things where the media blows up something that happened, and it wasn’t a big deal for us and I’m sure it wasn’t a big deal for him. We’re going to play the same way and we’ll see what happens.”

The same way?
Frustrated and out-of-control? I’m looking forward to more of it.
Let me simply say
A-Fucking-Men.
For all Van’s talk going in that they were a different team — More mature, More focused — all it took was one solid ass-kicking to bring out the Van of old: dodgy decision-making, stupid penalties and of course the teary-eyed yips of Bobby Lu.
They may still win the series — they only need one of the next 3 — but other teams have seen that the facade is just that, and if you take it to them they will crumble just like always. They are still not a Cup team.
An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it. (Jef Mallett)
If you take it to them they will crumble?
You mean like Game 3 when the Hawks came out flying and the Canucks won?
The only facade was that the Canucks somehow thought they didn’t have to play this game to win it.
Did you guys not get crushed in Game 1 vs us last year and still win the Cup? I didn’t know one bad game meant a team can’t go all the way
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
"You can't come in my kitchen, kick my dog, and take a box full of ballpoints! Your ass must be crazy!"
also Game 5 last year
yup it’s all about resilience and the Hawks showed they had it. As it pertains to the Canucks, the data are not yet in.
Like Bossy’s tweet as you posted at NM “Canuck fans don’t despair……it’s only one game”
And maybe you win game 5 and have a little testicular fortitude to point to and build on, but just a little (I mean, the series is still 3-1, not overly harrowing.)
But if the Hawks win game 5, well that would make for a great opportunity for the Cancuks to grow some hair on their chest, wouldn’t it? Wouldn’t you like that opportunity?
And damn Semi, it’s just the first round. Take it from someone who’s walked the whole path- it’s a long long way to Tipperary.

Personally
I would rather not lose game 5. There’s no need to play an extra game “just because” it might be good for growing hair on the chest.
And I know it’s just the first round: I’m just saying one bad loss in the first round doesn’t mean we should throw the towel in and say it’s not happening.

so, the Hawks have scored 7 goals and only allowed one since I returned from vacation. The superstitious side of me will never allow myself to vacation during hockey season again. Ever.
Great game last night. Hopefully it continues in Vancouver, where the Canuck’s will surely get more favorable line match-ups.
um ... allowed 2, right?

Hey guys, Pens fan here. Congratulations on last night (wonderful game that was even better because it was a blowout, although a lot of the hijinks towards the end could have been avoided. I am blaming the NHL and the Canucks for those). Love how Luongo downplayed Bolland’s importance to the Vancouver Sun and I am hoping your boys can keep the momentum going. Fingers crossed for Game 5 and a return to Chicago for Game 6!

Nope, definitely not the Preds. Anyway, we are sort of in the same boat as you in that my team was on the receiving end of similar comments from Luongo and Henrik Sedin after they lost 3-1 in the regular season (to a “team we should beat”).
Alas, my team will be lucky to get out of the first round. Our PP is pitiful, Sid hasn’t been seen since January (well, except at practices), and injuries have hit us hard all year (something you guys can definitely appreciate). Nevertheless, I am hoping the Hawks can claw their way back and take this series, putting an end to the Canucks and the CBC games I am forced to watch (as NHL Centre Ice pretty much doesn’t work anymore).
wow I really need to lay off the speed reading
That was on a 36in monitor too. This must be some really good cold medicine I’m taking. So how about the lightning then?

by cliffkoroll on Apr 20, 2011 12:21 PM CDT up reply actions
Adams has been fantastic for us. His line is the best one this series (for the Pens).
Ah, if Matt Cooke hadn’t thrown that elbow, he would have been in this series and maybe taken care of business with Kubina (we feel that way about Steckel, by the way, who needs to be taken out, though he hurts the Devils less than us losing Sid does). We’re really missing him on the PK (and Tampa is ranked 1st in penalty-killing this postseason because our PP is awful).
I say the Lightning in 6. 5 on 5 the Pens have been beating them but special teams are killing us. The first PP goal in Game 3 was the result of a shitty call, which should have been on the Lightning (specifically Ohlund for pushing Kovalev or some Bolt tripping Neal as he took the shot). And now tonight we play without Kunitz, who had a brainfart in throwing that cheapshot. Him being out hurts the Pens more than Downie being out hurts the Lightning. Sigh…
Going back to Vancouver though, one reason I could never root for them, Torres aside, is that they employ Maxim Lapierre. Hated him when he was a Hab and just seeing him last night made me hate him all over again.

by cliffkoroll on Apr 20, 2011 11:51 AM CDT up reply actions
Ugh, yes, injuries…aren’t they great? We have played half a season without Sid and Geno Malkin in the line-up and while we were basically competing with the Flyers for the division till the last Saturday of the regular season, I am not sure we can stop Tampa’s offense.
My respect to Seabs though for coming back in Game 3, even if he is out right now. Torres is horrible. At least that twit Matt Cooke got suspended (hey, he plays for my team but I call it as I see it). Nevertheless, hopefully, by some miracle, it isn’t a concussion and he can play. If nothing else, his injury (and Bolland’s return) definitely gave you guys something to rally around. I hope the Hawks can keep going.
If I may ask, what do you guys think of Hossa?

Hossa’s a great player. Any chance he could get a playmaker this off-season? I haven’t seen who is available, other than Brad Richards, but do you guys think there might be enough cap space?
For all the ragging he got when he signed with the Red Wings, seeing him in the loser line the following year made us all forget about it and a lot of us are glad he won the Cup, finally. I know you have him long-term but Ray Shero was willing to throw $7 million at him per season. His cap hit doesn’t seem too bad.
Were hoping a Center arrives in a some sort of trade.
Its really sad we have this fantastic player and nowhere good to put him.

Brad Richards? No way there's cap room for him.
Confusion will be my epitaph.

It needs more cowbell.
Anybody who you could realistically target? Plus, who do you think would be packaged up in a trade? I used to think we strong at center with no wings to speak of (as in the Pens, with only Kunitz as a viable top 6 winger) but injuries have decimated us. And now we have a few decent wingers and no playmakers for them.
I know, Richards is a pipe dream for many contending teams. What I can’t get over is how the New York Rangers, if stories are to be believed, almost traded for him at the deadline. I know they buried Redden in the minors but where did they have cap room?
Brooks Laich, perhaps
But I have a feeling he will get inflated contract offers, especially if the Caps make it past round two this year. I wouldn’t mind signing a solid 3rd line center like Fiddler or Reasoner and let Bolland play on the 2nd line. He and Hoss have good chemistry.
That could give us a bitch of a two-way 2nd line in addition to a typical checking line.

I completely agree with this set of statements.
I don’t see a real problem with that (aside from Frolik at C), but I would rather see a real 2nd line C come in and allow Sharp to stay with DDN, and Bolland with his line from last night. Frolik looked great with him, IMO.

Reasoner by all means
Many of us were perplexed when he was gone, but he’s proven that he’s a playmaker that we could us.
I do admit that the whole Reasoner situation is abit vexing at times, when I think about it.
