GDT: R2G3 - Canucks host Hawks - 6:30pm - CBC, VS

[Robert]

Well Clam gets his wish.

[the toucan kid]

Luongo's new technique is apparently to roll over on to his back and hope the puck is under him in lieu of actually trying to coral the puck. I guess he's traded in the "butterfly" for the "beached whale"

[Sid Dithers]

Well Clam gets his wish.

Yep. That's the way to win games, huh?

[Sid Dithers]

Canucks patchwork D now getting exposed constantly. Nowhere for these guys to hide.

[the toucan kid]

SOB. DUMB AS FUCK!

Phantom calls my ass...

[the toucan kid]

God this after the whistle stuff is so bush league.

[Sid Dithers]

God this after the whistle stuff is so bush league.

Don't tell Clam that...he thinks the road to the Stanley Cup is paved with facewashes and whacks to legs.

Nice on SOB to take down Towes. Bout time someone went after their star players when ours are just getting run, elbowed, slashed etc. Finally a little bit of emotion. I have had it with this non-agression crap. If they aren't going to come to play at least show me a bit of emotion. Pacifism is all well and good until you are in a war.
Finally, Burrows......

I'm all for aggression and passion, just do it in the right way.

That is all well and good and sounds reasonable, but when your key players are getting thrown around like ragdolls with no consequence and no penalties are being given for slashes or elbows something has to be done. And that is not a glare from Bieksa or clean hit from Bernier. Give it back in kind.

[the toucan kid]

Yeah, well Clam isn't the only one.

and obviously benching Burrows would have been a bad idea. That's why AV gets the big bucks I guess.

[rockalt]

Man this game has loss stamped all over it.

Sedins continue to unimpress.

Powerplay remains impotent.

Better at least generate some offense before it's too late. 2 flukey goals and not a lot of sustained pressure.

Like Vigneault said, "You're top players need to be your top players."

[rockalt]

*Sigh*

I wish it wasn't this predictable. Terrible game from the Canucks.

[the toucan kid]

Yeah, at least we actually won game 3 last year. Won't be as crushing a blow this time around, I guess.

[Sid Dithers]

The Hawks are just playing...the Canucks are reacting to what the Hawks are doing. That's a losing formula if there ever was one.
