Makaramel MacKhiato Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Canucks Didn't have Daniel = major difference Blues didn't have Halak = Major Difference Who did the Kings not have?? Richardson??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesman60 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yes LA is that good. Vancouver played a team that was bigger, faster and grittier and couldn't handle them. MG has to address the lack of size and grit as well as the lack of PP goals and even strength goals against bigger tight checking teams. Boston manhandled the Canucks last year and LA did the same this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaBestPlaceOnEarth Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 This means that L.A.-Phoenix will be a proxy Chicago-Vancouver series, hate hate hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyacry Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Cry me a river. NO ONE stepped up, and no one pushed back. All the Canucks did was whine, complain, and dive. The effort they put in was a sense of entitlement thinking the Kings would roll over and die. The entire Kings team is clicking and contributing, not just a few core players. Daniel Sedin would not have saved us in game 1 and 2 with the sad effort we put in those games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biasbieksa Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Canucks were VERY bad. Kings were not playing as good as they are now, and still beat us. I say Kings didnt deserve to go on playing like that. But we most definitely, didnt deserve anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heretic Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 LA played well. The Canucks didn't. Game Over. Actually - the Canucks played mediocre Hockey since Christmas (except for a couple of games) so I was not suprised by this years exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnsey Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 LA played well but Canucks didnt show up until game 3. Had we shown up from game 1 the series may/would have been at the very least longer than it was. LA is a good team with a great goaltender. They were ready to play every game, and the Canucks just weren't. A combination of the skill LA has and Canucks being asleep for the first few games is the reason we lost.

Brockbuster Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 L.A.'s success in no way excuses the Canucks epic fail. Canucks have an excuse every year. Forty two so far I believe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodee Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 We blew it when we thought all we had to do in the first two games was to turn up..............it turned out we didn't even do that. The more I watch LA the more I am convinced the Canucks should have beaten them. It's a damn disgrace. I said back in mid season that this lack of tempo and desire would catch them out and that they could not expect to just turn it on when the first playoff match started. I was ridiculed by many on here. We should have been a honed and hard-nosed unit come the playoffs.............instead we were the Lost Legion, looking for our mojo. We looked at the team on the ice and pretended we saw last year's playoff team just taking a breather. We have a team who on it's day can play sublime hockey but you have to earn the right to play YOUR game. Earning that right requires crushing the opposition from the first face off and never letting up. We blew it and I'm sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindsLuvsBurrs Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 I remember the first game we played against LA on New Years Eve and I could tell they were a tough team, they battle hard and give you no time and space out there. I am honestly not surprised they`re doing so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
