Bure fan Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Anyone see Keith target Henrik at the last seconds of the game... If Henrik touched the puck, it woulda been bad. I hate that guy so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grapefruits Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Should have been a shutout for Schneider but you win some bounces and you lose some bounces. Personally I think the ref was getting back for when he was almost hit by Corrado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Schneider said it wouldn't be hard for them to get up for this game. Huge understatement. If it were not for Crawford, the boxscore would look worse, but the players know they got exposed for what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domyours Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Now that we're locked in number 3 seed, Looks like we're probably going to play St Louis or San Jose or LA(I hope not). Hmm, it'll all be the tough opponents. But if they play the same way they did tonight. There's hope, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Biggest game of the season and the Canucks not only won, they dominated the "best" team in the NHL. Absolutely outstanding effort by every single Canuck for 60 minutes, these guys haven't played this well since the 2011 Cup run. Everyone had a monster game, from the Sedins down to Corrado and Alberts. The reason the Canucks won was not goaltending like usual, it was physical play and clutch scoring. 2 gritty goals from in front of the crease by 2 likely playoff-performers in Hansen and Kassian. That's how you score in the playoffs. Still no idea why Burrows is on the top line when Kassian scores with the twins after playing 10 seconds with them. The play he made to push off one of the best defencemen in the league and out-muscle a forward to score is EXACTLY what this team needs for the playoffs. Then of course our best players rose to the occasion and stole us the game. The Sedins had their best game all season long, Henrik with the biggest hit I've seen any Sedin throw on Carcillo, knocking him down. This was a statement game for Daniel and he embarassed Keith, first on the pass through him to Kassian and then on the breakaway goal. He was pretty invisible until the other headshot by Hjalrmsson which really woke him up. Best of all, the physical defence destroyed Chicago's skilled super-stars, very similarly to how Boston beat the Canucks. We ground them down all game long and guys like Toews, Kane, Hossa, Saad and Stalberg were completely invisible. Great job by Lapierre, Higgins, Kesler, Alberts, Edler, Garrison, Hamhuis and Corrado who threw the body and threw it hard. That's how you win in the playoffs, with 30-40 hit efforts like tonight. We ended up injuring a couple of the Blackhawks with heavy hits and hard shots as well - another way you win in the playoffs. This team is completely different and far more dominant with big physical hitters like Higgins, Sestito, Alberts, Barker and now Corrado in the lineup. Corrado has to stay - his presence on Edler was immediately felt. Great game when it mattered most, now hopefully there's no lull for the Ducks game because if we're going deep in the playoffs we'll most likely have to face them before Chicago.

Heretic Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I must admit that I did not expect that. Canucks played a great game! Someone get some butter cause I think Schneider is on a roll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllEyezOnMe Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 That's what we need to see in the playoffs. Playoff type hockey, while playing a skilled game. Does anyone agree with my line proposal? Daniel Henrik Zack Higgins - Kesler - Roy Raymond - Burrows - Hansen (Burrows is actually a 45% faceoff person which isn't bad for natural winger. Great checking line with speed. Booth - Lapierre - Weise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
