My question is: when was the last time the Stanley Cup champion team was sweeped first round the next year?

Damn missed the postgame interviews. Wanna see Kane crying.

Generally, repeat offender first game back from last suspension so 4 games or more.
But this league is a joke and Colin Campbell and Bettman is a bigger joke so it could be 0 games or 20.

Do you guys view Torres' hit worse than Getzlaf hit on Hamhuis?

AV made a comparison

Sweep on Tuesday :troll:.

haha Samuelsson should do that next game.

dayum that was a good game! and john scott is such a noob....he got benched ever since the penalty LOL

I need another look at that hit. During the game, I thought it was clean?
Wasn't Seabrook just looking down while playing the puck along the boards?

I kept getting pissed every time I saw Seabrook back on the ice.
I was thinking "Torres, Hit him again!!"

What was that 15 min dressing room rule the commentator kept talking about? I'm not familiar with anything like that?

Gerry Valk thinks the Mitchel hit on Toews is dirty?

There goes my respect for him.

Not only that but an AV made a smart move on calling a timeout on the 1st period.

Hawks were starting to run the game and was just about to enter a 5 on 3 pp. Pretty ballsy as usually coaches reserve timeouts only for late 3rd period.

Also to add note: Canucks were in 1st Period down only 1 goal and AV spotted it could've been a turning point had Hawks gotten 2 up.

Chicago called that timeout before the 5-on-3

Chicago called the time out which helped us in the long run

samuelsson interview on team 1040 awesome and hilarious even though i couldn't understand a word he said

here is the hit for anyone that missed it.

Wow, looking at the box scores - Kane had a TOI of 26:15 - more than anybody on our team.

The highest on the Nucks was Burrows with 19:53, but that's with a lot of PK as well...

You would think that Quenneville would play him less if he's not producting :troll:

The league is cracking down on headshots :speechless:

Also you should know by now that the league has never made consistant suspensions

IMO it's a blindside headshot. The league is going to pick a number out of a hat, and I don't think it's going to be 0.

Yup, and Canucks didn't use theirs late in the 3rd because they didn't want to give the Hawks a chance to put a play together.

They have been consistent with blindsides though.. I think he'll get a game or 2... But since this is his first game back after a 4 game suspension, maybe they'll throw the book at him?

Shit, I dunno, someone educate me on hockey. I don't see how was that even a dirty hit.
Guy's head was down, looking away. Didn't even hit him into the boards. :confused:

So if Canucks started skating up ice with their heads looking behind at their own asses, and they get hit, that's a blindsided hit?

Can someone define what is considered "blindside"
Cause if someone's receiving or making a pass and looking away and gets
run over, is that considered blindside?

I guess if Torres does get a suspension we at least have nothing to be concerned about since he missed the first two games and we played great. The bright side is at least Hodgson can come back as he is a natural center.
