EmployeeoftheMonth Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 yes but every single one of those teams with the exception of the Sens and us has won a cup before, that's the difference Yeah but it's not one that means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neko Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I haven't watched SCF since 2011, it's the same ol same ol, just like the Pitt-Det repeat. And I agree with teams losing the SCF and falling off the face of the earth, common among Canadian teams (happened to Calgary, Ottawa, Edmonton and then Vancouver, all became middle-bottom of the standings list after). Hopefully Montreal doesn't become a sub .500 team next year, you know Subban will want out if that happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The canucks for whatever reason have always been frail and soft. I mean we lose players to long injuries off clean body checks. You'll never win a cup that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangelos Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Couple things from tonights game. Krieder proving once again he's a douchebag. Doughty is awesome, Mistake on that goal but, meh, he got it back. Girardi is way over rated. Even before tonights F'up, he's had some horrible games. And Williams is clutch. But everyone already knew that. Kings fan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won another President's trophy and then got bounced by the eventual Cup champions, whom they faced without Daniel Sedin until the series was essentially over. It should be noted that that same Kings' team steamrolled every team they faced on the way to that Cup win. Vancouver's decline was never steep, at least not until they hired Torts...

Never thought I would say this, as I had high hopes for Torts, but he may have just done us a favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bissurnette Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 He was picking his nose at the blue line while Girardi passed the puck to Williams. Probs thought McDonagh was there. My god was he out of position. So everyone saying it was McDonagh with the assist, it was Girardi. Although McDonagh is the one to blame. Did you get that from our friend Don Cherry? McDonaugh was moving up the ice to go on the attack because he thought Girardi was in control of the pick just like everybody else. Girardi was the one who fumbled then tripped. This was all on Girardi, but it happens and you move on to game 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Didn't watch the game. Why is Krieder a douchebag? I mean, I totally agree that he is based on past actions, but what did he do yesterday to increase his douche quotient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a favourite team whom I will always cheer for against any other team, but in every series I always prefer one team over another.

wallstreetamigo Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 This is like deja vu as the Canucks under AV were also known for horrible lapses that cost them games late. That and I am starting to think that maybe the diving phenomenon in Vancouver was part of AV's playbook......because I don't ever remember seeing the Rangers key guys dive this much before AV took over. LA are notorious divers too of course, but they have been for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I .. the League may manage Game 3, but then it will be up to the Rangers and AV to win the 4th game .. without 'divine intervention', that ain't happening, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfstonker Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I can't understand why people think the Rangers are diving now (if people were honest most of them would say they hardly watched Rangers under Tortorella and I wouldn't blame them, they were awful) and to say that Kreider intentionally set out to injure Price is just sour grapes imo. I have watched every game in the SC this season (one of the best I've seen recently) and every team has players that simulate/embelish. Rangers are no worse or better than anyone else, neither were the Canucks. I think there is some envy and ill feeling towards AV on here and it seems to manifest itself in comments meant to detract from Rangers fine performances to date. As for managing games well some myths never die it seems, while we have the conspiracy theorists on CDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
