all the top teams lost their first game.

det/pits/van

hope this will wake up the boys

hand pass to get the puck out the zone??

LUWANTGOAL

fuckin choked..

stupid penalties...
shitty pp

cant blame louie

Well Nashville is 4th seed
Heh

i am sure nashville is placed higher than detroit :wink:

Where are the idiots saying we would sweep the Kings?

It seemed like the Canucks came in to this game thinking it would be an easy series, their effort level was fucking terrible. We need Daniel back, BAD..as long as we have a top 6 of

Raymond-Sedin-Burrows
Booth-Kesler-Lapierre

we will be fucking lucky if we get out of this round

Luongo played great, exceeded my expectations for sure tonight. However, dissapointed in Kesler. He's back to being a whiney bitch that's diving to draw penalties. Whatever happened to him shutting the fuck up and playing that gritty hard working hockey he's known for.. Or is he hiding an injury?

Frustrating. Cannot wait for Game 2.

Is it me, or are these playoffs not as "action packed" as before? Before, there were tons of hits, lots of speed, lots of good action, now it's a slower, weak hits, and lots of stupid stuff after each play.

lol played with no soul for most of the game. LA deserved to win.
other than that the hit on burrows by richards is just dirty .. :rukidding:

Miscalled handpass to take the puck out of the LA zone =.=. Oh well 7 game series I ain't worried.

Wayyy to many unnecessary penaltys

brutal game is brutal

whoever makes a comment regarding bandwagoning should get banned. srs.

not including this one of course

Agree. Lu played great. Hope Daniel returns soon but PP definitely needs work. All the PK drained our flow.

Mike Richards was always a cheap fwwk but that hit was actually clean.

This team also needs to stop diving, looking at the refs, and embellishing. It's brutal to watch, even as a fan. The powerplay is horrible anyway, just play the fucking game and avoid all that extra curricular bullshit

The team faces a must win situation in Friday's game. They gotta win game 2 to tie the series and get momentum back.

Cut down the penalties, scoring a freaking powerplay goal, and protect the puck. Bloody turnover by Edler in the third period and powerplays given to LA cost the game.

Luuu was the only Canuck that played well. -can't fault Louie on those goals.

No margin for error boys. Win game 2!! Make it a good Friday the 13th!!

No, the hit by Bitz was dirty, Richards hit was clean and he was just finishing it.

Canucks lucky they only lost by one goal, they were heavily outworked and just didn't look like they in it emotionally. No persistent fore-check, no threat on the powerplay and didn't create anything off turnovers.

They will need to regroup, and have a different game plan. Having Dank back, would also help.

Gotta admit, kesler and henrik hv to stop diving, it's embarrassing out there and reffs arent falling for it

I mean, its good if it works.... :troll: but if it isnt called, it looks terrible

Yup because they sure didn't learn anything from the regular season! But that didn't matter, according to most people here :troll:

i was watching the third period of the detroit game..i wish this game was like that, so much more action and heart in it. our pp was SO FRIGGING SLOW! cept that one pp that was awesome. Luu played great, can't blame him at all.

Need to step it uppp, not gonna lie, i thought this series was gonna be easy but didnt think we'd sweep. If this continues...:heckno:

speaking of which, it actually looked like they were 'saving' themselves for the later rounds

It was a proper loss otherwise it would've been theft.

Ref sucked but the Canucks were worse. Extremely sloppy play, especially on the PP.

Hank misses Daniel. Looked lost out there several times...

Better step it up or we're in tough here in the 1st round.
