The way the Sharks are coming together, that to me, is still more of a test than the Hawks-

I was wondering when someone was going to mention this. I've been trying to avoid that thought... but hey, lets worry about that after Chicago.

I'm really liking what I hear and see out of the Canucks. Their demeanor and play to back it up is perfect, it's what I've been waiting for all year. Set the tone and play your game ALL game. I hated the get a lead then played scared hoping to defend. This team seems to have figured that out.

Even if we don't win this one, at least make it tough for them down to the wire, or OT. That'll scare the shit out of those piss ants.

...but it doesn't make us poised for a Cup in my opinion.

Nothing personal Touc, but I feel that we'll be up 3 games to 0 in the final and you'll still be saying this.

No kidding eh?

In an attitudinal sense, I concur, and have since October.

No kidding eh?

To be fair, you guys aren't around for my game to game "moments" where I froth at the mouth about the Canucks, but as far as reasonably winning the Cup, we're a fair ways at this point.

MayRay! Off and running...

[Sid Dithers]

Long 5-on-3 coming up. BURY 'EM!!!

[the toucan kid]

Pfff... these guys aren't worth worrying about.

[Linden Is God]

Is this for real?

[the toucan kid]

No, because we still have Alberts, and frankly, Bieksa.

btw love Rypien yapping at Demitra on that draw... wake that fossil up!

[the toucan kid]

And Kesler dives blatantly, proving why it is occasionally tough to root for these guys...

* Yes, I'm glad he did it.

Liking the quick puck movement on the PP.

I'm dreaming, slightly, of next year when Demitra = Hodgson...

No kidding. It'll be nice to see those $4 millon dead dollars actually become something useful, won't it?

When did Kevin Bieksa decide it was his mission in life to make Wade Redden look good?

He's been playing well, but that ole on the Alberts penalty wasn't pretty.

[Sid Dithers]

Good period.
Sure the Hawks were getting good chances, but the Canucks stood their ground pretty well. There will be stretches when the Hawks will carry the play...they're a very good team, you've got to expect that. Just have to withstand the pressure and be looking to turn the tables. Canucks are battling hard and playing smart.
