GDT - R1G2 - Canucks vs Kings 7PM PST CBC

[Arachnid]

Salo giving up the puck.

Edler giving up the puck.

Ballard giving up the puck.

..

Did I miss anyone?

And another one bytes the dust...

sad man, so sad how many this year ex-fans...

I'm look'n forward to the 3rd

Hey!!

This shit is emotional. Our boys are playing like absolute ass right now.

Hard to stay positive at this point of time.

Actually, for anyone that knows hockey they are not....Quick is as advertised....up to AV now....

Would be nice to have DS back about now....did anyone stop to think that if the fans give up on them then they will on themselves....

[RoyalDude]

Yeah, I know you get off on being negative.

Seriously, I'm as big a Canuck fan as you will find, negative I am not. It's quite simple, I'm not a huge fan of Gillis, I don't like the majority of his moves, especially this year, I'll give him his two bits for getting us to Lord Stanley last season but honestly, he inherited a team that was on it's way there anyways. This year was the true test in seeing what Gillis was made of, and he hasn't been very impressive. Kassian may turn out to be a decent player sometime in the future but we traded away a player who could be helping us out NOW, who has a mind for offensive creativity, can score and can set up teamates waaaaay better than Ryan 'Play By Myself' Kesler. No PP? Hmmm, wasn't Cody pretty decent on 2nd unit PP. Pahlsson? Seriously? The guy has fucking zero offensive creativity, he can shut down all he like but we need offensive creativity. I simply don't understand Gillis dumbing down skill for what I call 4th line talent level, and that there is my beef, but hey, if you wanna call it negative so be it, I guess I am negative towards the changes made by Gillis this year. Not a fan of Booth, traded away a crafty goal scorer in Samuelsson with loads of playoff experience for a player with low intellect and no playoff experience. Don't get it. I think this team sorely misses Erhoff, hate to say it, would never had paid him what he got from Buffalo but this team seriously misses his ability to skate pucks out of danger and gain the offensive zone and ability to set up his forwards and was a constant threat from the point. I give Gillis kudos for getting Erhoff in the first place, but losing him may have been a mistake, maybe if the Ballard contract wasn't there Erhoff would still be here. hmmmmm

[clem]

[RoyalDude]

Shit, Kopitar is a good player.

[Mondi]

I said I agreed with you man. There is no question that this season:

Samuelsson > Booth
Hodgson > Kassian
Erhoff > Ballard

Anyways, you take the reigning Art Ross Trophy champion out of the lineup from any team in any era and they are going to be a different team. Hopefully Daniel can play in game 3. You can say Injuries aren't an excuse, but the reality is they have an impact.

[clem]

That's parity for you.

Take away your top gun & you may not cut it.

Jesus Christ , it's amazing how an out of work carpenter is a better FUCKING General Manager than Mike Gillis....wow....

[clem]

Oooo ... that may be a better job than a brewery general manager.

[Calgary_Canuck]

Been following this team since 1994. Getting really tired of them letting things slip thru their fingers. Last year was amazing the cup run and all, but the old Vancouver choke fest is back. Who knows they might wake the f*ck up, being down 2 games, but I doubt it. I predict a first round loss.

I watched the Philly/Pen game..now Philly there's a team with heart holy shit. Luv Ilya as well...awesome comments.

[Boston Canucker]

This pending 2-0 deficit is not, at base, about losing Daniel. They've simply been ouplayed/worked, and even w/o Daniel if they played well, tight games, it would be 1-1 at worst.

Now, who thinks they can win 4 of 5? A karmic turnaround from the cup final? We can dream I guess.

This is going to be 94 all over again.

It feels like the end of the world but as long as Luo and Ginger keep playing solid, we got a chance.

[Cornuck]

Luongo's been our best player by far, but that 4th goal.... he just seemed to say, "Fuck it"

[RoyalDude]

Ebbett is fucking useless. It's also time to send Kassian to the pastures (Chicago). He just can't figure it out.

[Robert]

Do you know what's ALMOST as disgusting as going down two zip? It's watching those assbitches smile laugh and text with good seats as this is being played out.

[Arachnid]

Gassian & SDG that's a positive....
