  1. LOL at Bruno Mars thinking he could ever be the Main act with the RHCP on the same stage.
  2. I'm so sick of that Bruno Mars song that they use in that commercial I hope I never hear it again. But he'll probably play it at half time.
  3. Mostly all of the big eastern based American sports media is picking the Broncos. They don't know what kind of west coast tsunami will hit them soon. Go Seahawks!
  4. And where was he when he fought off the check and forced the puck through to Edler? That's right in front of the net. Why don't you pick on other players that never even got points?
  5. If Burrows is known as a 'stand in front of net checker', Booth is a "drive to the net scorer". But only one of them continues to work hard and do what he is known for.
  6. Burrows and Booth's penalties looked eerily similar. It's almost like the Jets practice that move. Whack them from behind at the exact right spot causes the other player to lose his balance and spin around with his stick high. Then you just grab your face and fall down. Brilliant! Burrows played his guts out. No way you can blame him for the loss. Saw at least two instances where he was tripped, of course no call. I think that chin piece is interfering with his vision down at his feet. He'll be much better with it off.
  7. Is there a team that literally passes the puck to the opponent in the defensive zone more than the Canucks?
  8. Its just weird. At times on a shift or two, we look like we could take over the game...then suddenly we look like we are trying to defend the one goal deficit...so, you know, at least we won't get blown out that way.
  9. too bad for the quick 2 goals against because we are looking good. Burrows has arrived! Looks like the edict of SHOOT FROM ANYWHERE ALL THE TIME is in full effect this game
  10. I don't get why Sully and Torts don't play the fourth line more. Chicago plays a 4 line system and that's how they keep their top lines fresh for the game and for the season. I think Torts is wrong-headed about this. His theory is "win now" ie. the next game, and of course it stands to reason that he'd give his top lines, the most talent, the most work. But he takes that theory too far. Credit to xWCMx in the GDT who described Kesler as being a dog, that he'd play till he dropped if you let him. ha, so true. But the wear and tear is starting to show. Daniels increased minutes that now include the PK is catching up to him and his brother as well. Torts is playing the short game when he should be, like Quenneville, playing the long game. Especially when Sestito has been on a roll. He deserves the chance. Not only that but Tom should not be shunted away after he was a big part in the California rebirth (of Canuck toughness). I thought he became an important lightning rod. Kassian really feeds off that kind of spirit. So much for building off of that. Quenneville knows that players get better and more confident the more you play them (not talking overplay). Even 4th liners. Hey, when the playoffs start you may have to put them at the end of the bench again, but meanwhile your star players are going to be rested and fresh, and at the same time the 3rd and 4th lines will know they can step in and contribute because of all the playing experience during the year.
  11. At least we have that other Canuck team to cheer for soon.
  12. hmmmmm. I remember watching a team like that..... Canucks are the tonic the Hawks were needing. A team that they know they can drive to despair, even if the Canucks get a two goal lead on them. So friggen fragile. As soon as it was 2-2 the game was over. (ok, seemed over) They could still come back. If a couple more players other than Higgins, Hansen, and the fourth line come out to play.
  13. Hate to say it but Chicago is showing what kind of team we really are.
  14. We could lose this game 5 - 1 if we don't step it up. As soon as Torts is gone we fall into the AV shell. Defend the 1-0 lead!
