Canucks aren't playing great, but are showing a lot of jam. Gotta like it.

I would have to say that getting out of that period not getting scored on is one of the most astonishing things I've ever seen. Wow!

Once again, the ref's a proving that they are the biggest joke in professional sports officiating.

Slash on Daniel, Trips by Hank and Bieksa, all in about 45 seconds. None called.

Although its nice to see the Hawk fans get a taste of our medicine... it certainly looks like they'll need to revamp their officiating game-plan for next year.


SO FAR... Kevin Bieksa's best game of the season. Let's hope he can keep this level up for the remainder of our season, however long it may be.

Umm... I would have to say the score indicates otherwise. The Canucks are playing as well as you could expect facing such adversity. For once they are actually listening to their own advice about playing between the whistles (save Henrik's revenge trip on Bolland).

Really hope Sedin is okay. That was an unnecessary slash and one that could have changed the outcome of that powerplay. In the ref's defense, they did ignore the blatant Bieksa trip to make up for it :hmmm:

This is what I wanted to see a few nights ago.

Apparently Luongo needs to shave more often. I hope that Salo's back - doesn't look good, but we can prey. Bieksa, he should be fired up now. :D

Except for Alberts brain-fart up the middle, this team has been playing flawless hockey.

GO CANUCKS GO!!

Playing with jam yes, but more astonishing is their doing with the Sedins playing terrible, Kesler terrible, Burrows not so good, Demitra aweful.. I mean who the fuck is left???

Wellwood, Grabner Raymond (even though he missed two opps!) and Bieksa are beating the fuckhawks?????

This is crazy shit

Luongo now needs to do what he's expected to do: shut the door when it matters.

LOL

Shit house luck dude. For a change. chicago sucks... I don't even wanna watch the replay of Kesler coasting.. no standing! at center ice while the hawks skate into our zone.. and don't get me started on the Sedinery.

But, granted there is something good going on... Luongo and the between the ears thing and chicago sucking is making up for the half the team that sucks.

They're going our way to, don't kid yourself. It's not well officiated at all, but it's not biased.

toucan, honestly. Two were ONLY given to us for sympathy and when they've missed ones on them. If Obrien doesn't do a bleedout, and Sedin doesn't get missed we've got three more against us.

Never said they weren't going our way... in fact I pointed out that we were getting the calls. The reffing has been awful in every series, almost every game, all playoffs long. I've never seen such consistently bad reffing in playoff games.

BTW Sid.... WTF is up with a Teen-Wolf (Toews) quote in your signature?? Plenty of more inspirational teenage quotes to pick from buddy.

I'm not sure who is was, I believe Tommy L, but it was noted if a team wants to turn around a series, change moment from what seems like death they need to produce a galvanising moment. Something special, if ever there was one it was getting out of that period with a shutout.

If this team has any jam they gotta build on this.. just say TO HELL WITH YOU CHICAGO!!

Read that wrong, "on" instead of "by." Apologies.

The kid's a helluva player. He came into GM Place and led his team to 2 impressive wins. I like the quote. It's a lot better than Roberto "I don't know what happened" Luongo's musings. Just sayin'...
