2-1 Canucks. Get 'er done!

I disagree with switching to Cory. He is going to have some rust from not seeing game action in so long & Luongo has played well in the first two. Can't fault him for either loss.

Whatever, I don't care as long as they win 8-)

Absolute key for us. We need the Sedins of old right now!

I've seen multiple lineups now I have no idea who is in or out, just that Schneider is in.

A little bit of puck luck and maybe some ref luck tonight would be nice, lord knows it's been in the sharks favour so far.

Only the Sedins can make a 4 on 3 PP even up.

San Jose didn't even worry about Henrik on the far side. Let him stand there with a clean path to the net. Until Hank starts stepping into the slot or shooting the fucking puck that PP set up will be useless.

the officiating is fascinating to say the least. The first three calls against Vancouver were a joke last game and here Weise gets the only penalty in a scrum. Marleau cracks Kesler in the face with a stick and all the mouth breathers blow up at the Shit Tank. Reminds me of Bountiful. At least those retards can claim gas/oil fumes for their stupidity.

I NEVER bitch about the officiating but the Canucks have been bent over so far in this series. I guess we can thank Burrows, Lappiere and AV for that. Never was a big fan of the french. A good cleansing is in order.

Yo
Jumbo Joe with a Jumbo (wrong-handed) cry and an extended 5-on-3 for the bad guys. That penalty against Weise was a laugher. Isn't there a head-lock on every whistle in the playoffs?

I expect 25 penalties in this game if this is the standard they're setting.

How can you battle through calls like that? The tiniest shit gets called. A head lock? Are you kidding me?

All I'd ask is for a smidgen of creativity on the powerplay. Kesler will be set up for the point shot every bloody time he's on the ice. Everyone knows it, so small surprise when he gets every shot blocked. CHANGE THE DAMN PLAYS UP!!!! At least get the sharks guessing where it's going to come from. Nobody covers Daniel anymore and everybody's looking for the cross-crease saucer back-door play, so STOP IT ALREADY!!! Put Kesler into the low slot or make him the crease presence for a while and then drift him out for the one-timer. I dunno, but nobody's being fooled by what the Canucks are putting out there.

There is no creativity or spontaneity anymore - even 5-on-5. If the tried and true plays look iffy, they just either try it anyway or put it behind the net. The twins are too damn creative to be this hidebound, and can you tell me that there's not an ounce of creativity to be found through the rest of the lineup?

They're not done yet but something has to give.

Somebody wanna explain why Henrik gets a penalty for sliding the puck with his hand on a face off last game, but couture can toss the puck out of harms way tonight?

I mean wtf?
