This was the 3rd consecutive game in which Hank has been the best skater on the ice. What's there to say about him that hasn't already been said? He's just creating so much out there. Just imagine if his shot was a bit better and he was scoring some goals....

With his 2 assists and +4 rating tonight he moved up to 8th in NHL scoring and he's now tied for 2nd with Ray Whitney in +/- among the top 30 scorers (+25). He's actually having quite a nice finish to the season and could conceivably finish the season in the top 5 in scoring.

Woot woot! Come back boyzzzz!!! Real proud of Hank for stepping it up while Dannys out.

I've officially designated the Pahlsson line to 2nd line status. Kesler is someone else right now, on the ice for 5 of the last 8 goals against - this guys the defensive specialist? He's not even playing reg shifts against top opponents - Pahlsson is. 23 TOI tonight? Ya really AV? Looking to injure or tire out your supposed top guys right before playoffs.

Hope Kassian is ok. Canucks don't have a ton of grit, maybe Bitz gets the call?

And Bob McKenzie. I can see he's getting a head start on 'Canucks playoff bashing". 'Melodrama capital of the world'...... what an ignorant old man. Buffalo, Boston, Philly,Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, and Chicago (just to name a few) fanbases have ALL jeered and cheered when their goaltender got pulled, threw waffles on the ice, were calling for these goalies to be traded etc etc. While I don't like people cheering when Lu got pulled, it happens ALL the time in large markets when goalies struggle. Let me repeat ALL the time. Yet Vancouver fans are the worst?!? He's just looking for a way to criticize Canucks, organization and their fanbase - getting a head start for the playoffs. Rant over////till playoffs.

I hear ya. The forum is getting ridiculous wholly because of this flame war being passed off as debate. You can't even state an opinion for or against either goalie's performance without being lumped in with a crock full of prepubescent knuckleheads.

The Luongo =/= Shneiderman stuff has been getting pathological around here for a long time now and it can tank a decent thread in a millisecond. The GDT today is a perfect example. It was a whole lot of bashing and very little opining on the actual game. Lu had a bad game. So what? Name one top player who hasn't had a bad game or 50? And yes, Shneids is awesome, great at being the rally point when sloppy defending truly did leave Lu hanging. Obvious points like that are obvious in their redundancy.

Some folks 'round these parts really need to give this crap a big giant frikin rest. If Lu has a soft night there's nothing wrong with pointing it out, same same with Shneiderman. It's now at a point beyond ridiculous. The minute one thing is said on either side of this happy-crappy flame war the peanut gallery here marginalizes you as either Lu haters or Shneiderman b!tches. Some of us have a few more brain cells and don't automatically need to resort to a retarded 'us vs them' mentality.

Cripes, we've got 2 stellar goalies, and commenting on the play of both does not a hater make. 11 shots, 4 goals. Guess what? Lu was soft tonight. I don't worship Satan or eat kittens because I'm saying the dude played soft. In fact I'm allowed to say Lu is a bit sucky once and while and still know full well he's an overall bad a$$. Really, this back and forth sh!te is dumbing down this forum big time.

Well when Schneider had a bad game in Nashville, I stated he had a bad game. Luongo has a bad game and I state it as well, but then multiple users come charging at me and start bashing on Schneider indirectly. I defend Schneider because I like him, but then it makes me look like I'm just a Luongo hater, which I'm not? When I state Luongo is having a bad game, I'm not hating on him. I'm just saying it as an opinion of what I'm seeing. If I hated Luongo, I wouldn't have his $250 jersey hung up on my wall.
