Some friends of the band who were there were a husband and wife, who showed up decked out in Canuck jerseys. (The wife is the Canuck fan. She had to convert her husband, who is an ex-pat Brit, originally from London) Between the 2nd and 3rd periods, she comes over and asks me about this weird strap on the back of her jersey. It was a tie down.....I had to explain to her that it was so Keef couldn't pull the jersey over her head and pummel her at will..... i worked with a Turkish soccer fan who I was trying to convert to a hockey fan (was successful). I'll never forget one day after a game when I came in to work and asked Mert how he liked the game. He said "well it was really good until Luongo got tired. Why did he go sit on the bench while the game was so close!! Did he give up?" I then went on to explain pulling the goalie for an extra attacker. "Ohhhhhhh" 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting sick and tired of the TSN panel drooling over the Oilers, as if them on the Leafs wasn't enough. Go Canucks GO! I know what you mean but it is getting to be so funny; they're making themselves look more ridiculous than ever. I'm watching on SN; you're on TSN? Anyway, they're all goofy failures.

I think Hansen, not unlike some folks on this site, love the Nucks....but, they thought the team wasn't as close or good as they are. That it will still take time and some tweaks to go far. However, here we are. Performing as people like you and I ( along with many more silly fans) thought all along. It's like watching the rest of the media, after predicting the Oil would bowl us over are starting to say things like ' the Canucks are a deep team...yadda, yadda.' People have a hard time being wrong more than ever these days. I would have a hard time with it too I bet, if it ever happened to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe King Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 5 hours ago, NHL Tyranny said: Strange, I thought they'd bring back Sutherland to do their bidding. Also strange is the first suspension was for a lessor infraction than what we've seen league-wide so far. Their business model must assume most current and future fans are idiots. GCG!!! Time for Pettey to shine.... Saving him for game 5. Make crappy calls against the Canucks causing a potential loss. And piss off the home town fans. Win win for bettman and his band of crooks.

Most of ‘us‘ want the Blacks. This Organization. Always reactive. Never proactive. I swear Frankie hates the black jerseys and only gave in due to fan pressure during the struggling years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hate hearing all the bullshit pseudo-analysis. oh edmonton outshot them 45-18 so they're dominating them and just ran into a hot goalie blah blah blah. there was no point last game where I was nervous. the canucks love playing against this team.

Nucker67 Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 On D&D earlier, Donnie was saying to Craig Button that it looks like it'll be 3rd string goalie vs 3rd string goalie tonight. Button responded with something like: Pickard is a 3rd string goalie, but Silovs is not. Silovs is proving himself as very capable backup to Demko. These playoffs are likely it for DeSmith as a Canuck. Demko-Silovs tandem could be amazing 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao McKaren 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure gets some of the amateur stuff wrong, but not nearly as much as most GMs, who have a staff. Coming from him that means more.

luckylager Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 6 minutes ago, Nucker67 said: You disagree with him? Usually. He's spewing a large pile of yeg cope. Silovs IS a 3rd string goalie, there's no way around it. Has he done well all things considered? Yes Did he spend the season as our 3rd string goaltender? Also yes Button is an idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballisticsports Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) Wouldn't surprize me to see this game called with silly weak penalties to get Oilers some advantage, as only their pp generates chance to win Sickening that it has been their so-called stars that should have been suspended (after this ruling) and yet not one suspension to them as to harm their chances of advancing League doing their best to manage some advantage , Let's see how this game is called Edited May 14 by Ballisticsports 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
