    Canucks Hawks 2011 was awful.

     

    I mean great we won but a series that goes 3-0 to 3-3 is generally bad with absolute blowouts in games 4 and 5.

    It's actually frustrating that we didn't sweep them. If we swept them I think we would've won the cup. That first round was a complete $@#tshow and we paid the price for it physically.

  2. Kings vs Blackhawks 2014

    Canucks vs Flames 1994

    Penguins vs Capitals 2009

    Capitals vs Bruins 2012

    Hurricanes vs Bruins 2009

    Habs vs Bruins All of them

    Canucks vs Kings 2010

     

    Much more but this is what I can think at the top of my head.

    1. I hope Evander Kane’s tweet about the DoPS encourages other players to grow a set and take the league to task for the pathetic state of not only the DoPS but the completely horrific and embarrassing state of officiating this league is infected by. Bettman must die.....I mean go. 
     

    2. The coaching staff is done at the end of the season if they fall out of playoff contention. Simple as that. Benning is doing whatever he can to provide them with a solid roster. While the players certainly shoulder some of the blame, the coaches aren’t cutting it. 

    This roster should be a playoff roster. This system we're running is not a sustainable one, and Travis seems like he's way too soft on these guys. We need a coach like Gallant, Laviolette or someone who has experience and knows a thing or two about systems and handling players.

    You can say that about the five teams that have Vezina candidate goaltenders. Most good teams don't rely on their goaltenders to win games. You have the anomalies like Arizona, Edmonton, Vancouver and a few others but 90% of the league isn't gaining that many points off of goaltending at this point in the season. Edmonton has had great goaltending from Koskinen this season but he's nowhere on Markstrom's level, Arizona is pretty close but they're far more of a defensive team, Pittsburgh is missing Crosby and Malkin has stepped up yet again, and most teams at the top are usually winning by outskilling teams. 

     

    What other teams have had goaltending steal them this many games? 

    You have this perception because you're mostly watching Canucks games. If you watch other teams, you'll see quickly that goalies steal many many games every night. Even elite teams have to get bailed out every so often. That's why the goalie position is the most important in hockey.
