Ehrhoff needs to sit the Pp since he seems too tired to even play even strength, and hasn't hit the net (unless it is from centre) since game 1 round 1

I completely disagree. Salo can't hit the broad side of a barn these days and all he tries to do is blast the puck to the net. His shots are constantly going wide or being blocked. He's slow and getting caught out of position a bit too regularly, I was screaming at him to move his fucking feet all game.

That being said, the number of shots the Canucks as a whole put wide of the net was very high. The commentator said "Shot/shoots..... wide of the net" so many times it made my head spin. Those are unforced errors.

Canucks fans need to rally behind the team, i hate how quickly people turn on the Canucks, especially Luongo.

At the end of the day this is our team, win or lose its GO CANUCKS GO.

if they lose because they decided not to show up I will be extremely pissed at them, I will never stop being a fan though.

IF they lose while playing a hard fought battle then I will be disappointed but I won't be pissed because it just means Boston wanted it more. I'll just be happy that we made it this far

Thomas has been playing well, but he hasn't stolen anything. He hasn't had to. Bruins have been the hungrier team since the Horton hit.

Getting out hussled and out-played in every facet of the game.

Better change tomorrow or we're in BIG trouble.

Go Canucks!

nobody likes to see their team lose.
i havent turned on them but i can see objectively the situation they're in.
if you like blindly cheering for one side, then be my guest.
i cheer for the canucks because they're my home team but i can still be smart enough to criticize their faults.

anyone know if JAL has wifi? gonna be on a flight for game 6 :fuuuuu:

The Canucks need to decide what type of game they want to play: skill or physical. They are playing somewhere inbetween and it is not working for them.

Some are trying to be too physical and getting beat the other way.
Some are trying to draw a penalty by falling down, staying down, ... and getting beat the other way.
This is not our game and is killing us.

Boston is roughing up the twins, and they are either taking it and skating away, or trying in vain to draw a penalty. The twins need to use their skill/speed to stay away like Game 1-2, or to fight back. Boston has learned if they ram the twins into the boards they will just stand there and not try to fight and get away, and that is ruining our puck possession.

Canucks fans getting abuse while visiting Boston

Quote:

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - We're hearing some awful reports of the way some Canucks fans were treated in Boston. But despite this, the die-hards are expected to return for Game 6.

Marie emailed News1130 to say the only place she wasn't harassed was inside her hotel room. She says a group of teenage boys were verbally aggressive, and one Bruins fan tried to shove his fingers in her mouth at TD Garden. (See her email below)

The Green Men expected to be heckled in Boston, but Sully says some Bruins fans took it a bit far. "Game 4 was a little bit more hectic than Game 3. I got a drink spilled on me, I got smacked in the head, and I got kicked."

"The main heckle was the finger thing," he says. "That was a long time ago... even the NHL is getting sick of it. But people kept coming up to us doing the finger thing... [I thought], 'Good one, very funny, come up with some new material.'"

He says people turned more aggressive in Beantown after the Rome hit on Horton.

What should visiting fans do?

Clare Newell with Jubilee Travel says fans should think about where they are wearing their jerseys and keep some other safety tips in mind:

"Have common sense and [keep your] wits about you for the situation you are going into," she advises. "You are going into lots of crowds, lots of drinking, and if you are wearing a Canucks jersey you have to be prepared to take a bit of heat."

"Don't make eye contact with them," she suggests. "Just walk by and ignore it. Don't engage."

Newell says there are a lot of ways abuse can happen, including getting beer dumped on you. For anyone buying a package to watch Game 6, she strongly suggests buying travel insurance. "If there is something thrown or poured on you and it's hot -- or it hits you in the wrong way and you do need to go to hospital, it could cost you a fortune."

Marie's full email to News1130:

I was fortunate enough to fly out to Boston to watch the Canucks play Boston Bruins in game #4 of the Stanley Cup Finals! What a treat for me!

I am a 41 year old female that is 5.7 and around 128 pounds. I pride myself on being independent and safe when I am traveling! Never in my life did I think that the Boston fans would treat me in such a classless manner!

The next thing I noticed about Boston was how the fellow Bostonians treated me. At first, I thought it was me being sensitive to my environment? Then, as the day progressed the reality of my feeling became factual. Yes, I was wearing my Canucks t-shirt in the city. I didn't expect any negativity or animosity towards me because in Vancouver I believe we have been accepting and friendly towards those who are supporting the competition!

The real shocker came when I was walking to the TD Gardens! A group of kids were walking around chanting "Go Bruins!" I was smiling and enjoying the moment. With my Luongo jersey on and some other Vancouver pins attached to my jersey, I did stick out to this group. One of the kids looked at me and told me to "#^&% off!" Then another kid told me to go back to Canada, while he started to run at me! I decided not to acknowledge these individuals! I also was aware of the dirty looks I was getting! One person came towards me and purposely bumped onto me!

As I reached the Gardens, I kept getting verbally assaulted with comments directed about Luongo! again, I got myself into the arena as soon as I could.

The staff in the arena were very welcoming and helpful!

As I was walking to my seats, some teenager came into my personal space and tried to put his finger in my mouth! That was a sign for me to get to my seat and hope that the folks sitting around me would be nicer. Thankfully the guys sitting on the left of me were exceptionally nice and classy. The other fans were ignorant and as cold as ice!

During the game the fans for Boston seemed to get more verbal towards some of us Vancouver fans! I was alone in a sea of Bruins! Once the game was over and I was leaving the stadium a number of very loud Boston fans were yelling derogatory comments about Lou! In their attempt to cause a reaction from me, I did not react!

When I got out of the stadium I felt totally exposed and afraid for my well being! When I got back to my room, I was relieved!

I have been waiting a very long time to go away and watch the Canucks play! When my dream finally became reality, I was so happy!

Today, as I head back to Vancouver, I can honestly say that "I will not be coming back to Boston any time soon!"

No matter what the outcome will be for the Canucks, I will always remain a Canuck fan!

I can only hope that the Canucks win the next two games! As for the Boston fans that visit Vancouver, I will not ulter how I treat people in a humane and classy way.

Go Canucks!

Marie

^i went to game 5 in chicago and we were cheering hard for vancouver. the fans were totally cool with it. i got a few comments but all just jokes. i was surprised at how well i was treated when i sang the anthem, cheered when the canucks scored, etc...

if a chicago fan was in vancouver, vancouver fans would NOT be cool with it at all and he would get ragged on so hard.

Well, it's not off-season yet. Hence, he hasn't even been here for a year yet.

You can't blame shots that change direction on goalies. When they make the save, you are lucky and glad they did. If anything, Salo was to blame for not letting Lu get a clear view/ not do a better job deflecting the shot. The one off the body in front of the net were just flukes.

Well, the first goal at the very least, was plain ugly.

2nd goal, Thomas would have been like 20 feet out of his net. No net to hit even on a deflection.
3rd goal, Thomas would have just crosschecked the guy before he had a chance to get puck possession and backhand roof it. :troll:

At least for the first few months until the emotion goes away. We didn't come so far to be 2nd place. No one remembers the runner up. This isn't some cinderella cup run. This is one beastly team that has every right to win this cup. And if they have a hard fought battle, I think Canucks will be victorious anyway.

What time is it in Boston??

12' past Luongo :troll:

This brings a moment of pleasure for me.

^ Well for me, that's because it's the last time Vancouver went to the finals.
I'm not sure if other cities remember or care.

all these canucks fan getting abused in boston fires me up.

Im not sure if i can keep my composure game 7 if we lost to boston and i see a boston fan walking by me.

this city is gonna go nuts .

Who in their right mind would boo them?

So, due to the media exposing the bad treatment Canucks fans are getting in Boston, we should expect the same thing to happen to Boston fans in Vancouver? I think it's only fair.
