I'm just keeping my expectations realistic. And based on what I'v seen during the past two months I see a team primed for a first round exit. We all can't share your delusional optimism.

WINNIPEG SE Home - 23-11-4 Away - 11-20-4

Suck up your disappointment and cheer on your team harder and maybe we can emulate the same thing you are seeing in Winnipeg or we saw last year. We stopped cheering on the Canucks this season the same way as last season and it's making a difference. When Bieksa says it's embarrassingly quiet, that's a big deal.

 

[BigJonsson]

So

Goodbye Phoenix?

 

[OnPoint]

Wow, Sabres are only 4 points behind Ottawa. Tied for 8th right now but Washington has a game in hand. We're actually closing in on this.

I can't believe they're actually turning it around like this

That's because Winnipeg are just so gosh darn happy to have a team again while most of the Vancouver season ticket holders have a sense of entitlement that leads them to believe that anything less than 7-0 wins all the way to the cup is not good enough. Ergo, they're disappointed little brats while Winnipeg are the orphans who finally got a doll for xmas instead of another lump of coal.

Exactly and we need to change that. Be like me and be this kid:

i hope they move on up and that the Caps sink to 9th, i hate Ovy

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Nice goal off the non-call. I'd be pissed if I were the blues.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

DSP GOD DAYAM!

Your sense of entitlement is no less different than theirs.

I'd like to think of that as karma for all the bullshit non-calls we got leading up to our elimination. Situationally, it's not right, but in the greater scheme of things it seems justified.

What am I saying, it's not like I actually WANT us to win this game or something...

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Child-like enthusiasm isn't going to fix the Canucks in their current state. The reality check is good for all teams, embrace it. Ignoring it only makes you seem like (more of) a desperate homer.

Yo dawg don't talk to me about non-calls. 6 games this season with no powerplays. Least powerplays in the league by far.

But I don't care, fuck the blues. More goals against them!

BLUES LOSE CANUCKS' CATCH-UP EFFORT WILL BE REWARDED. oh wait.

 

[Heretic]

This game is going to end in a huge brawl...

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Blues certainly have a bit of truculence to them... I can't remember them being this yappy or physical.

Also Blues are 37-0-1 when scoring 3 goals or more this season. Sheeeit.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

That Shatnerkirk hit looked clean to me. What could've been.

lolwut that selanne goal

or blake

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

HOLY SHIT BLAKE FINISHED A GOAL

or blake

Yeah, rebounded off Cole so it's Blake. I dunno if I'm more happier that Blake finally got a goal or would rather see Selanne add another +1 to his tally for the season.

 

[RC]

Exactly and we need to change that. Be like me and be this kid:

Be like the N64 kid? My childlike optimism died in 94.

 

[Heretic]

Fuck yes!

Nail =(

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Man, that was tense.

I'm glad that if we had to win we did it against the current best team in the NHL.

EDIT: Blues are now 37-1-1 when scoring three or more. YOUR TRAP HAS NOW BEEN FOILED, GENTLEMEN.

Nail =(

He was never gonna be ours. We gotta focus our attention on one of the other top ranked players.

I should really start paying attention to them first...

ducks won
canes won
habs lost

YES!!!!

What do the ducks need forward or dman? Top 4 forwards are Yakupov-Grigorenko-Galchenyuk-Forsberg then it's a few dman after them that will go in the top 10.

@ Dastardly

Pssst, take Forsberg. He's got Forsberg right in the name, man.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

and because he hasn't appeared in a while...

We've got this guy. His name is Hunwick, you've probably never heard of him cause he's our super sekrat weapon but we'd be willing to let him go for one Bobby Ryan. And your first round pick. It's a no-brainer.

Let me have a word with my contacts in the Ducks organisation...

*picks up a rusty can with string attached*

*slams it down*

They said throw in Landeskog and Joe Sakics' grass clippings.

oh fuck yeah, Stamkos is now in the You Can Play campaign!

[Zombie James]

Toronto will add 3 forwards (1 top 6+2 depth guys) plus a goalie this summer, but Burke can't mortgage future to get them.

Should make for an interesting June 22nd.

and where exactly are you gonna get your top6 forward (I'm taking you're looking for a C?) from?

We'll see in three months.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Bye bye, Phoenix.

And the league is considering Vegas? :lol

Vegas residents: "What's a hockey?"

 

[Smiley90]

NHL.com with the headline "Pens-Preds a preview of the Stanley Cup final?" just... no....

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

They got (Kings) Gretzky at an outdoor game (vs Rangers). So jealous.

Did I miss something? What happen?!

NHL.com with the headline "Pens-Preds a preview of the Stanley Cup final?" just... no....

I said that 10 pages ago. Sticking to my prediction. As horrible as that final would be.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

If there's no buyer in a week then the NHL is starting Plan B.

Which is also a shitload better than the Wild vs Panthers playoff final that was being joked about in November.

Seattle? Hopefully.

 

[Zombie James]

Why the hell are the Sportsnet guys talking about Keith getting suspended and not Sedin for doing the exact same thing?

Also because Daniel's hit was very unlike Keith's, but that's a detail, right?

 

[bonesmccoy]

Did I miss something? What happen?!

Bill Daly was telling Steven Brunt and Bob McCown (sp?) yesterday that - if you cut out all his humming and hawing - the Phoenix experiment is all but finished.

Dreger's tweet is ridiculous. Seattle? Yea, I'd like to see it happen, but there isn't even a suitable venue planned yet to accommodate a NBA team, let alone a NHL one. Key Arena is a complete dump.

Vegas? Kansas City? My gosh, those names are still being thrown around?

Quebec is the only viable option for the league. I'd be shocked if Bettman manages to bungle it.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

Also because Daniel's hit was very unlike Keith's, but that's a detail, right?

I didn't say it wasn't a filthy hit. Sportsnet always gets up in arms about every hit that's even borderline, and the fact that people are calling for 7+ games is ridiculous. Vancouver fans always overreact to everything, and so does Sportsnet.

It was an absolutely disgusting play. But 7+ games? :lol

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Seattle? Hopefully.

I'd personally like Seattle, seemingly all the Canadians on this board would like Quebec though. But yeah, Plan B is discussing which city would be the most viable to host an NHL team.

Between either of those I think it's win freakin' win.

Don't want KC to get an NHL franchise...

 

[Red_Man]

HULKING SHUTDOWN/PUCK-MOVING HYBRID D!

Seattle has Stanley Cup history, too.

Tabris is calling for 8, Revenant and several other Canucks fans have agreed that 3-5 would be adequate, especially if the story of Keith saying how "he'll get Daniel" is true, and considering that it most likely WAS a retalition-hit.

Daniel's hit wasn't late, it was with his elbow tucked in and it also hit the body. Keith's hit was with his elbow OUT, the puck was like 3m above Daniel, and he ONLY hit the head, and with Daniel's hit from earlier malicious intent can't be ruled out.

So yeah, that's why Sportsnet only talks about the Keith hit.

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Well then here's your man
