2013 NHL Playoff Thread - or "The Events Leading up to This Years Vancouver Riot"

Ok I'll give you that, but I also think Lui still needs to go.

yeah, I think that goes without saying

an interesting article from the Straight on Kelly Sutherland

OV takes a run at a Ranger. Hits his own player first, Erat, who gets smoked and probably breaks his arm, and then carries through and crunches the Ranger. With his ass. And gets a penalty. Two minutes for being absolutely out of control and hurting your own guy? The refereeing is so bad that they could seriously use an instant replay on every call.

And Sutherland was shitty when he was in the WHL. Not even kidding.

Hansen sets a good example for other young players and brings a lot to the table compared to his salary or his trade value.

I do like Hansen. Im just looking at our line up and we got enough blue collard guys with Burrows, Higgins, Roy if he stays. We could use some russian in the line up. Skilled guy that will take the pack and not rush North with it every time. Guy who can slow it down, set up a play, or have that deadly wrist song and use it ALL THE TIME. Kesler was a beast in game 2, huge slap shot goals, then the rest of the series, he forgot how to use it?

Just seems like the identity of the team changes too much from game to game. That game against Chicago late in the year was unreal. Best game of the year. And then the next game, meh, not the same team. Is that Coaching? Or leaders? Or what is it? Not having that reliable, know how they play team makes it a little frustrating.

i thought it was collard greens, not blue?

Great game last night between Boston [HTML_REMOVED] Toronto. End to end action in the third and OT.
Best part of it (aside from Toronto losing): Phaneuf chooses to try to lay out Horton and negates his job as a defenseman. Krecji sprints down the other end of the ice and scores the OT winner.
Reimer's GF (brunette) and Elisha Cuthbert (Phaneuf's finace) engage in a little battle of the bitch-you-just-didn't-look-at-me-that-way:

The Richmond-raised "referee" can take a deep bow for completely and utterly assbanging Vancouver hockey fans during Game 4 of the Canucks-Sharks opening round series.

:lol:

Meanwhile, in the MTL-OTT series, Price is officially down for the count. MTL goes to the backup keeper.

"Hi my name is Ovi and I'd rather not play defense"

:lol: Classic Canucks fans blaming everything but their shitty team.

Classic strawman lovin' anti-fan.

I don't think I've heard or read one word since they lost that the series loss was due to anything other than the team's play.

Erat also got 2 min on that play :lol:

So is a Leafs/Bruins Game 7 basically the ultimate conundrum for a Canucks fan?
