GDT: R1G1 - Canucks host Kings - 7:30

[darren]

I hope the Lou-haters have noticed that we are very lucky not to be down 2 or 3 to 1 right now.

[SKYO]

nice play by booth, and no doubt luo had some key saves right there at the beginning.

And we actually got 2 powerplays right off the bat to help turn the tides.

[darren]

For fuck's sake.... a 2nd delay of game.

Hamhuis has looked a little shaky to me so far, and Tanev looks small and scared under that forechecking.

[SKYO]

A bit sloppy of a 1st period for the Canucks, and they usually don't have great 2nd periods either, they better stay disciplined throughout and try to win it in the 3rd.

[porp]

MASSIVE shot block by hammy.

[SKYO]

Hope hammy is alright.

[SKYO]

The Canucks need some life/intensity in their game!!!

Time for more than 2 short shifts for Bitz Lappy Kass line.

[Blob Mckenzie]

Luongo has looked solid.... tough break on a 5 on 3.

Hello Alex Edler .... WAKE THE FUCK UP !!!!. This kid has all the tools but he is a bit thick between the ears at times. Besides the moronic batting the puck into the stands he looked like a mannequin on the PP and a deer in headlights on a couple of other giveaways.

Tanev is going to get mudered out there AV. he is a buck 70 soaking wet with all his gear. The kings have some apes out there that are going to wipe this poor kid out. How close is Ballard ??

Vancouver has to chip the puck in and pressure that defence. Dutter has the forwards all coming back hard and it looks like a red rover game out there. Not too often will they get to carry the puck in with any momentum. Start crunching that D for christ sakes. Soft dumps into the corner and plaster them.

The good thing is that as bad as the Canucks were in the first, it is still 1-1. Luongo has been great so far. If the Canucks can up a notch or two in the second and third, they would be alright.

That cluster f*ck was caused by the refs deciding to decide the game. No way Kesler deserves that penalty. It started a comedy of errors that almost caused us more than a goal. I have no problem with the other 3 penalties, two delay of game automatic and Salo had to hook to break up that play. But in this case the Kings had 2 straight penalties so the refs decide to try and even it out with that BS call on Kesler.

OK rant over. Time to play. The Kings have been the better team and are out playing us but 4 straight penalties will do that. We don't look sharp at all and are playing tentative for the most part. Luongo has kept this a decent score.

I know it is only game one but I just don't like the team as much as I did last year's.

[Arachnid]

The dude needs to get back on the weed. He is like an old granny on a meth bender whose welfare cheque is about to run out two weeks early.

B-Dude can't afford it mon, he gotsa mortgage to pay dontcha know?! Fuck, I'm gonna need some serious kush before June is done...I'm going to start a playoffs beer thread...got some 'un's tonight...

[Blob Mckenzie]

I like the player personnell much better. It's the way they are playing and the coaching staff that concerns me. When Daniel Sedin comes back if there isn't a philosphical change in the PP to get 17 on the 2nd unit, i'm going to hunt down Newel Brown and cave in his ugly grill. Enough already ! Spread the fucking wealth and make the other team concern themselves with your offensive depth.

[CrzyCanuck]

Just when will the NHL officials stop acting like clowns and actually demonstrate their professional skills?

If they are to up their game a bit, I firmly believe getting the bitz-lappy-kass line some more shifts will really help give the team more momentum and energy.

Did not notice Ray at all either in the first, LA usually has some problems with speed, it'd be nice to see Ray try to utilize his nitro speed and help get some chances as well.

Don't try. I think the same word has been said for a few years now, except all we see nowadays are MayRay's using speed only to fall down in the O zone.

I've given up on him long time ago.

See there, Raymond and his tremendous accuracy :p
