  1. I dunno if it was the high minutes they were playing early, or if it's injuries, or both, but they [the Sedins] both look so flat-footed, and really fighting the puck and missing each other with passes. So out of character for them.
  2. I think Dalpe was on a few people's "Instead of Hansen, I'd rather see the Sedins with..." list.
  3. Canucks are playing like they already have the lead in the 3rd
  4. Blues cruised to the easy W last night. All you can hope for when the Canucks next opponent is playing their way through Calgary or Edmonton first is that the games are so easy to win that the teams pick up a bunch of bad habits and aren't as intense to start the next game. Canucks need to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat for a change.
  5. I'll give the Canucks as much credit for clawing back from 2-0 down against the best team in the league, as I will doubt their playoff team status for playing like a bunch of rookies in their own end late in hockey games.
  6. If you wanna know why Booth is scratched, and you PVR'd either the Kings or Ducks game, go back and count how many times when that line was hustling back that Kassian beats Booth back to his man, despite many times Kassian being in deeper on the forecheck. I also saw Booth slow up and not take a hit, to not make a play a few times. And if I noticed it, I'm sure Torts did.
  7. Ok, not totally unimportant, but someone earlier put it in with Henderson. I disagree. I just found the 2002 win way more important, as a Canadian, especially considering the circumstances.
  8. How was Crosby's goal important? We had already won ice hockey gold, in America's backyard, to end a huge gold drought, in '02. The 2010 win was just another gold. The '02 final was way more important. Anyways, go Canucks.
  9. And the Blues didn't sign Bouwmeester to that contract.
  10. Going in I was hoping the Canucks would just earn at least a point - and they did - still feels like a loss though. Still, considering the injuries, playing 4 regular D way too many minutes in back to back games, missing three regular forwards, and our number 1 goalie, the Canucks did well to jump on the Ducks early, and eventhough they missed a golden opportunity to put themselves up 3 or 4 early, they also didn't fold completely when Anaheim had chance after chance to take the lead. Still like what this team is doing, but they better get healthy before they lose too many games where their goalies were trying to steal one for them, and burn themselves out. The lineup the way it is right now, is too thin to compete night after night against the top teams.
  11. You knew when the Canucks couldn't widen their lead in the 1st that they let the Ducks off the hook. Will be in tough to come out of this with a point or more.
  12. I think it's 80% Canuck fans there, don't give Ducks fans too much credit
  13. Random fight. Scared the Canucks haven't put the Ducks away. Even up calls are coming and the Ducks will be fired up to start the 2nd.
