I think he means that no one else in the Eastern Conference can get 1st place from them.

lapierre seems to really fit with henrik and gives that extra physical presence. if and when daniel comes back, i'd put him on the second line rather than pairing up the twins.

Yes, I understand that, but adding 'already' suggests that they've locked 1st place surprisingly early...

Huh? You said LaPierre fits really well with Henrik, but are suggesting to put him on line not with Henrik when Daniel comes back??...LOLWAT....

I agree, but considering the post was by cliffhanger? :fuckthatshit:

Just meant in comparison to the west, it's a much tougher race to clinch

Mhmm.

Oh Cliffhanger, you so silly :haha:

I think he means put daniel on the second line

o okay :) ...I think I'd agree with that...The twins make the people they play with so much better that it just doesn't seem to make that much sense putting them together. We need to maximize each and every one of our guys' potential, and both the twins are individually capable of getting that out of guys IMO.

He means:

Burrows-Henrik-Lapierre
Daniel-Kesler-Booth

Since Daniel-Henrik-Burrows has been struggling

He said rather than pairing up the twins

Throwing stuff on the ice gets ya kicked out

I feel sorry that Lu had to take the fall for the shitty D too and the only way to spark the team was to pull him.

Not to take anything away from Schneids but the crowd reaction from the goalie change just pissed me off. You could tell the people cheering were glad Lu got pulled, regardless of how shitty the D was. The way people cheer for Lu vs. Schneids on the same type saves is night and day. IIRC Cory made 9 stops and some fans act like he saved the day.
Both goalies played equally well tonight but they had different teams playing in front of them.

The annoying thing is that people don't just love Schneider, but they SHIT on Luongo, and THAT is what pisses me off, especially when it's not even his fault....People are always so quick to just throw the blame on him without fully analyzing why these goals are being scored...

It's true. It just shows how talented Henrik is and doesn't need his brother on the ice. It's good to see a break from him, instead of him busy trying to set up his brother for a goal all the time. In fact, Henrik's MVP winning season was when Daniel was out for a significant amount of games.

Plus henrik, possibly the best passer in the world, makes everyone look good

upper body injury for kassian. left in the 2nd and didn't return

please be ready by playoffs kassian :(

surprised there hasnt been that much complaining about MAG..

guy looks fucking confused out there; outta position way too much holy crap... at least be able to stay with ur man..

Not even sure did Lappy really lose the puck or was it part of his move...
Never knew he had such soft hands.
:suspicious:

All 3 canucks scoring in the shootout, that's pretty rare. (Has it ever happened before??)
I think Luongo could have saved Koivu's shot too.

So yeah, Schneider played well once again. A different Canuck team played in front of him.
And just the shootout alone proves it... All 3 shooters scoring?! :fulloffuck:
We have nights where people shit on Lu in the shootout when the canuck shooters fail to score on any attempts.

As for the Lu vs Schneider debate,
Schneider is definitely the more consistent goalie right now.
He hasn't let in any questionable goals, and the team seems to play better in front of him.

Getzlaf's goal was pretty soft, but the third and forth goals were quick releases point blank from the slot.
Not sure if Schneider would have stop them either. I guess it just looks soft cause they happened to be 5-hole goals.


:lol everyone too busy blaming our #1 scapegoat.

game 1 and 2 looking like

wednesday 11/friday 13
or
thursday 12/saturday 14

sorry bad engrish. i meant rathering than pairing up the twins, lapierre should be paired up with henrik for physical presence while daniel moves down to the second line as a few of you have mentioned.

Pretty sure it's going to be Thursday 12th/Saturday 14th since CBC loves to have playoff games on Saturday's

He definitely lost the puck there but, needless to say, made a great recovery...

not what i was told at the meeting, but who knows. wednesday start is a possibility
