Re: R4G3 - Canucks @ Bruins - Monday - 7pm

Nobody I know of called it 4 straight. I think we all expect Boston to win at least one.
I too would like to see a home ice Cup win. :D 8-) :D

Re: R4G2 - Canucks host Bruins - 5pm Sat.

Hammer could be a HUGE problem. Be interested to see Bieksa without him. Might be, well sorta anyway, a good thing as far as knowing what Bieksa is actually worth for the off-season I guess. I don't think it'll be that big of a deal. We played all season missing a defenseman or two, including Hamhu...

Re: R4G1 - Canucks host Bruins - 5pm

As for the game, hopefully we're not down a hammer, or Burrows. Good for Torres, and that third line is really stealing the show. Hansen, I've always liked, but wow, a best kept secret for sure. The beauty of it is that we have some pretty good depth and even missing a couple of players shouldn't r...

Re: R4G1 - Canucks host Bruins - 5pm

As for hitting... I think they should come out like they did in game one versus Chicago (what was that 8 weeks ago?). You guys can argue about how to word it 8-) Yes, call it energy, truculence, aggression, pugnacity, combativeness, whatever .... it's important in hockey .... and it's a requirement...

Re: Kesler injured ?

There's no way that Kesler will take a game (or a shift) off if there's any possible way for him to play. He'd have to be completely crippled to sit out.

To borrow a 1994 quote from Jim Robson, "He'll play, you know he'll play, He'll play on crutches."

Besides, he's got a Conn Smythe trophy to win.

Re: Trying to but tickets @ ticketmaster

I agree Fred, it's a pile of BS. Even after jumping thru the hoops it said nothing was available. What did they have? 5 seats for sale?

Is Toucan announcing his possible retirement from posting on CC? Who would become the new resident devil's advocate?
Stay tuned until after we WIN the CUP.

Re: Canada's Team?

I want the rest of Canada to loath us for this win, and I'm going to enjoy it all the more because it wasn't an original six old guard, hearty prairie team, or goofy off-spot expansion team to do it. It was us coastal rejects who showed 'em how to do it best. wow. sounds as if we've already won thi...

No guarantees that he'll actually play again this year. And if he does, don't expect 62% on faceoffs.
I hope for the best for him though. The boost to his teammates may be his biggest contribution to the finals.

Re: Who do you want to face for the Cup?

Tampa's scoring is a little worrisome. I think it would make for a better series, but I'd rather face Boston. Tampa would have a LOT of travel, which could benefit a team that is used to traveling. But in the end, I'd like to see us take on an Original Six team. Either way, I like our chances. I do...

Re: R3G2 - Canucks host Sharks - 6pm

The Canucks completely outclassed the Sharks in all facets of the game. It's great to see all 4 lines firing on all cylinders. This right now is the best I've ever felt...
