they shouldve injured thomas instead of horton

bruins are 4-0 when series is 2-2

tbh i think oreskovich isn't that bad. he can skate/hit pretty well. for a 4th line grinder/energy player, he makes use of his 8 or so minutes of ice time he gets. you could argue that he isnt producing, but hey, neither is mason raymond.

i agree with but this is two major blows in a row

Stats don't mean anything, all about the now. :fullofwin:

So far EA's SIM program is looking dead on!

It's not the loss. It's the way they lost. If they clawed and worked and lost by a goal or two, sure...but they looked slow, tired and injured in their losses while the Bruins were still in the games they lost.

The Canucks need to get back to playing their game. Use their skill, burn teams on the PP, pass around hard forechecks, etc. Right now they're being sucked into the Bruins game and it's getting in their heads like Chicago was in their heads.

Look at Thomas' mental toughness. He got burned in both games 1 and 2 in brief moments after being incredible for most of the game. If he broke down mentally, everyone would know why but no, he bounces back and stops everything except one puck in two games at home.

If the Canucks don't lose at home, they aren't in trouble but boy, they looked terrible these two games...just tired and slow.

Been here before :fullofwin:

Yup definately getting dragged into Boston's game - totally agree with Ronin.

We need to stay mentally tough and play Canucks hockey.

Think of it as a new, 3 game series and start fresh. You know how we like to show up for Game 1's.

I told you...
Game 7 OT3 Malhotra Game Winning Goal

Game 7 OT3 Luongo Game Winning Goal

I think only 4 teams have won the cup when down 2-0. We'll pull out a win Friday, after that it's tough to call. I think it might go 7 games because it seems like the Canucks can't win in Boston.

He claimed players have been chopping the butt end of his stick.
We clearly see Burrows doing that once in this video, knocking the stick out of Thomas' hand. Burrows initiated it. It's a 4-0 game, and Thomas basically said, "fuck this!" and sent a message.

I actually like this kind of attitude. If it was Luongo, playing his calm and collected style, he'll just stand around and talk about not being distracted, staying focus, while letting everyone take runs at him. Just how many times did you wish Luongo would have fucked up Byfuglien or any other blackhawk that was constantly harrassing him in the previous years, but it just never happened.


We definitely are. I don't know if penalties will be called or not if Canucks run into Thomas if he's outside of the blue. There's the controversy of that situation, and the league knows how Thomas' plays. Perhaps the refs might just put their whistles away if Thomas gets run over if he's outside of the blue paint. It's hard to experiment that now, cause the next 3 games are way too important. Canucks should have sent the message last game or today.
Not enough crashing when he's outside his crease.

Today's effort was so piss poor, I can't even recall did Thomas have to make a second effort on a rebound save tonight.

better not go to game 7 i got a midterm 830am in the morning

Man oh man, Friday can't come fast enough.

Tomorrow is gonna be an annoying day though. Some hater bitch sits behind me in one of my classes and she never keeps her mouth shut when we lose.

Agree on the slow and tired part. Not to mention it seems like they have no energy left or even the moviation to play. Not to mention at times they just seem to be day dreaming and when the pressure comes they panic. Even he Giants play better I must say.

RS meet at YVR?? :fullofwin:

I'm going to go right ahead and say it:

Dan Hamhuis will go down as the best defenseman to ever wear a Canuck jersey.


Though I have complete faith in the Canucks to get their shit together, I don't think people realize exactly how much Hamhuis means to this team...

Hammer isn't coming back. He was sitting on the bench in a suit...not even warmups. He's probably done.

We need Ballard to step the fuck up. He's probably totally healthy. Cry all you want about AV and whatever but he's getting paid $4.2 million, he should play like he's at least going to earn half of it.

Edler and Ehrhoff look off too. Edler has looked tired since early in the SJ series and Ehrhoff is making mistakes. Without Hammer to play steady defense, we need Ballard or Salo to step up into that shutdown role with Juice.

I miss salo's slap shot

the way the bruins pressure that point and transition so well on their PK, tough to see a big blast from the point.

What part of my post did you disagree with?

That...

not yet dude

Sorry, I should say he will end up being...
