Nucks89 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I was thinking today, how will most of you remember the 2011 cup run? Fairly or unfairly, I look at it as an oppurtunity lost. I see Sedin getting punched like a dog, I see Roberto Luongo melting down. There were good moments, yet it's hard not to look at it as a waste.

King Heffy Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I see AV leaving Leaky Lu out there in Boston to get ventilated while keeping a better goalie on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejazz97 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I see AV leaving Leaky Lu out there in Boston to get ventilated while keeping a better goalie on the bench. Totally thought that that was lemon-lime gatorade. So, so, so wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhillipBlunt Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Living in the past. The Canucks defense was it's weakness even back then. It was a mobile defense but an undersized and soft one that failed to handle larger tougher forwards like Lucic. The Bruins defense was capable of neutralizing the top line effectively. Until Vancouver addresses what had been it's most glaring weakness, nothing will change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving Luongo in to get embarrassed in both Chicago and Boston was a mistake. He seems to be repeating history with Lundqvuist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c00kies Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 We lost our best defensive d-man in game one and that set the tone for the rest of the series. We had so many injuries and to star players too, much more than recent Stanley Cup Champions have had. That said, Lui was Hyde one game more than he was Jekyll.

KansasCanuck Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Tampa PP was doing good at handling the Bruins and strangely in game 7 it was the first game in nhl playoff history that zero penalties were called on either team. That was the first sign that things might not go our way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanucksSayEh Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Neither teams offense was good. We had more shots, but poor quality. Boston wasn't impressive either, weak goals most of them, very weak. Team lacked finish in close, same problem exists today. Defense was just gaffe prone, even worse now, so much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixthecat_potvin Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I remember how much the Canucks were hated that entire playoff run. All of Canada was cheering against us apparently. Then the riots...:'(. Considering how much everyone hates the Bruins now, it would've been nice if we won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KassianArtRoss Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 I love how everyone points out the bad things that happened and always blames "weak defense and goal tending" but not many people think "we were one game away from the Stanley cup" we must have done something right. Give your heads a shake for once we had a good team we blew it. Nothing about the team was weak at the time. Now get on with your lives and look forward to when the Canuck's are in another Stanley cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 A should-have-won scenario, and would have for sure if not for being decimated by injuries, and horrible officiating/suspensions. Look at all the recent cup winners, somehow they stay relatively unscathed. I don't know how teams like Chicago and LA stay healthy every year, but it's pretty frustrating to see them get all the luck while we get none.

Until Vancouver addresses what had been it's most glaring weakness, nothing will change. Canucks defense was decent back then. Actually it was really good. It was the Injuries (and Suspension) that made Boston able to walk all over them. From what i remember, the Defense was in pretty bad shape. Hamhuis (Groin Injury) Erhoff (Shoulder Injury) Edler (Broken Fingers) Rome (Suspended) Salo (most-likely injured lol) Bieksa Alberts Ballard Tanev (I think he was still a rookie?) As a matter of fact, I believe a healthy Canucks team could've beat the Bruins. But that's what happens when you play in the West Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter_74 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 goalie wasnt problem it was the crappy dcorp and soft bottom six Canucks D was DECIMATED by Injuries and Suspensions. If healthy they were arguably top of the league. You are absolutely right about the soft bottom six though. The third-line was good because they had enough skill to play, but the fourth line got outplayed on a night-to-night basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
