I'll take a loss, an ot loss, and a win. Thank you. Suck it naslund and bertuzzi.

FUCK!!!!


sons 'o bitches............

Meh, I can't complain much about that game, it was hard fought from both ends. A few bounces either way for either team and it's a hugely different game.

Morrison doesn't rail it off the crossbar and it's 3-3... empty netter doesn't hit the post (!!!) and it's 4-2.

One thing that HAS been consistent for the canucks has been their shitty defense... How many odd man rushes are we going to give up on Auld? The guy wasn't ready to start as it is... but having such an inexperienced defense in front of him must be soooo frustrating.

Anyway, good series with the Oilers, we came out on top (4 points to 3) so I'm not unhappy... considering how we've played against them all year.

nice 'ol ass kicking they gave the kings last night.


do i see the momentum train leaving the station?


come on fuckers........only a couple games left......make 'em count.

Yeah... the final score is a gift to the canucks though... they played two periods of fairly shitty hockey... against LA

Onward and upward, we need to win out our games

hard fought 2-1 win over the wild..........still a tight fuckin' race..........


let's go boys.

they score the 1st goal......things look good then...........



they fucking implode.


wtf??????

Cant wait until Saturday!!!
HNIC



GO FLAMES GO!!

*sigh* what is wrong with us? REALLY!? We're just mental some nights.

Are you saying the team is mental some nights, or that you are for being a fan of theirs?
:cool:

My support is unwavering... I stuck with them through the Keenan years, which were dismal...

The team is just mental... you never know if they're gonna show up and play or lose 8-2 to St. Louis

I love this team, but with my unwavering support I get the right to criticize too! I think you'll see a lot of changes this year, barring an unlikely stanley cup run. Bert and Crawford are gonna be gone, and if I'm not wrong (which I may be) Jovo and the Sedins are all UFA's this season.

Current spector's rumour is Canucks trying for Huet this offseason but I can see that.

If I had to guess? Well this is probably more HOPE than guess. Bert, Clouts, Morrison all swapped out for picks, and Nassy/Sedins to carry us through a few years of youth rebuilding. I miss being able to say that we had youth in the system. When was that? Oh yeah, back when I was cheering for edmonton ten years ago :/

Damn I love the Sedins. And now I get to gloat at all the folks who kept telling me they're the worst picks the Canucks ever made.

IT ISN'T OVER YET!!!!!!!




HAVE FAITH PEOPLE.........


the bastards will pull it off,and get into the playoffs.

mark.
my.
words.



:hmm:

Yeah it must definatly be 4:20 somewhere!
:lol:

Ed Jovanavski, in overtime, in his first game back, with the beautiful game winner. If they make the playoffs now you realize theres NO way they're gonna let him go to free agency.

That was an insane game

I won a draw at my pub and got entered into tickets for the April 15 Canucks game.

So stoked I don't even know what to think. Even though it's a 1/30 chance

I might win, I've never had my name drawn ever, not in allllllll the years I've entered draws, if I win this I may be the happiest Canucks fan ever.

[edit]

Antikarma:

AND HOW!

oh...fucking........yeah.........


eat me calgary.



c'mon fuckers,only a couple more left.

Not to be a total troll in this thread (which I realize I kind of am so far)
But Flyman, you're right, it isnt over yet... However, too be honest, I just dont see it. the ducks, sharks, sharks, and avs will be very tough.
All are still fighting for a spot.
SJ has played the least games of all the teams fighting right now, so unless the nucks just sweep those two games against them, im pretty sure they'll be in.
The nucks really have to win all of their games, and I really see this coming down to either Van or EDM in.

Also anyone else think that millen and Hughson are a little bit of a biased set of announcers? I mean it was all "Vancouver has to do this..." Vancouver that..." I understand that Van does pretty much have to win all of their games to get in, but CAL just secured a playoff spot with that tie, that was only mentioned like once.
Jovo did have a good game, but the announcers would have you believe that he was the 3rd coming or something. "all he's missing is the cape" - you got to be kidding me!
Anyone remember who was in the box that led to calgarys first goal and comeback? ;)

There's nothing wrong at all with being a troll, or even as a lot of people would put it, a realist. No one thinks Jovo is Superman, and no one thinks Vancouver is going to race 4 straight wins and then have a Stanley Cup parade down Robson. There's nothing wrong with tempering your excitement with realism, BUT....

Why the heck do we even watch sports, or root for our favorite team? Sports ARE the last great escapism, where we CAN have heroes, where we CAN dream, where we WANT to be as strong or as skilled as the players. If someone wants to cheer for 4 straight wins and a cup run, hell, let em. Secretly I am too. Everyone in this thread KNOWS I love Jovo and I'd rather watch them trade away Bert, Ohlund, Salo, hell anyone than Jovo. And I was fanboying myself when he scored that goal.

Do I think he's going to don the cape and lead them to lord Stanley? Newp. But lemme tell you, makes me smile wishin it would happen. On one of your notes though, I don't see it as Van or Edmonton, mainly based on the back to back with San Jose. SJ is two points ahead of the Nucks. Vancouver takes those and one more win and it puts them in eight to finish the season.

You know I do have to agree with you on the announcers though man, I feel bad for anyone watching that was a Calgary fan. I'm too lazy to look it up, but wasn't Hughson the radio broadcaster for the Canucks for years? That might explain it if so.

Let’s just enjoy the last four games, and start worrying about who's going to stay when it's all said and done!

*Edit* my spelling sucks. Thats why I won't post on political threads anymore. Cleaned up enough to understand now though!!

don't be a hater... nobody forced you to click the link "Canucks Fans Unite"

I don't feel the need to feed the trolls either, so that's all I'm gonna say.

Just curious, but anyone else here hang out on the Canucks NG or in the Chat room during the games?

I'd rather be watching the game

Man, they had the opportunities tonight, I thought they played a great game, some key defensive breakdowns, and just couldn't pot their chances.

Easily could have gone a different way tonight, but fuck... that's a big loss

son of a bitch.


they're fucked now.

<--- Can't watch the game. Although I still pay for Sportsnet Pacific here, they black out the games for some reason. I have to listen to the games on CKNW online. Hoo-ray for Larscheid.

You want Fanboy announcers Temporary_user? Listen in on CKNW for the games. You can hear the hardons through the speakers :/

fuckfuckFUCKFUCK FUCL KJA:FLIYWEGL:FKJSDH:FLKJSHF:OIUEH:LSDF

FUCK!

Just fucking kill me now. I have an exam tomorrow too, this is such a god damn bullshit fucking horrible week.

like wtf was that?

2-0 and they let 'em back in.

4-3 with 5 mins left and they let them back in.


for fuck sakes.............

Why couldn't Joe Thorton have stayed in the fuckin eastern conference where he belongs so he can't bother us

Or, better yet, why the hell didn't Nonis snatch him up the second he started looking west....

Because Dave Nonis couldn't find his ass with both hands

What a dumb-shit GM we have... I told EVERYONE that the Canucks would RUE THE DAY they let go of Brian Burke

It was one prediction I didn't want to come true, but I knew it would. Dave Nonis is going to sink the Canucks for as long as it takes for him to get fired.

Well, that's all she wrote... it was one hell of a disappointing season.

Who are you guys gonna cheer for in the playoffs?

I'm gonna cheer for Edmonton if they get in.

Edmonton, all the way. I know Calgary has the work ethic and all, but since the stars left, Edmonton just seems to be the perpetual underdog, Pronger or not.

sonofabitchmotherfuckercocksuckingpigdogbitch!!!!!!



that was fucking pathetic.


lazy bastards.


GO EDMONTON GO!!!!!!

Fuckin yah man! Fuck the canucks! Too bad they didn't place 6th so that we can whup your ass all over again!

Go Flames!

fuckin troll

suck it, i'll be sure to wave while you guys are looking in from outside of the playoff club ;)

I believe it is time for you to make a "Flames Fans Unite" page so you can stop pissing people off in this one.

[edit]

not worth it

... not worth it... just a troll, just a troll...

not worth it

Go Edmonton

I guess the irony of it all is, Now that they missed the playoffs, the off season may be more exciting than what the playoffs would have been. Sakic? Chara?

And who's even going to be left.

Oh comon, can't I troll here? I checked out the Canucks forum on the team homepage and boy, lets just say that there's quite a few flames hater there, so I ain't gonna get burnt there in order to taunt you guys :D

I guess there run this year is over :(

I guess you can, but it still makes you a troll... the lowest form of life on an internet forum.

OK

Shift of focus:

What do you guys think of rumors that Bertuzzi will be traded?

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=162744&hubname=

I find it understandable that Bertuzzi is finding it difficult to play in a fishbowl. His every move/action is scrutinized. I like Bertuzzi, he's my favorite player. I say give him till the end of his contract at LEAST. There's only one year left, let him adjust fully to returning after not playing competitively AT ALL for over a year.

He wasn't the only player who underperformed at the Olympics; Canada's entire team underperformed. Iginla, Heatley, Thorton, all bust.

I thought he had a great year considering all the pressure he was under and all the distractions he faced.

You have to look at his stats from the past few seasons and see that a 70pt season isn't a failure. It's called statistical regression towards the mean. He finished third on the team in points. Yeah, he was -17... Naslund was -19, nobody is calling for his head. Yet.

All in all, I think Bertuzzi is a valuble asset to the Canucks, and I hope he's around for many years to come. I feel trading him would come back to bite us in the ass in a major way. We need a power forward.

I cant really speculate on if he'll be traded or not. He had an average season.
Him getting traded or not, really all depends on whether the rumours that the locker room is divided are true or not.
It would be tough for him to play where he gets booed all the time. I dont know how many teams will want him and his big price tag.
If he is gone, I could only see him fitting in on the leafs.
but that is just my wacky speculation on who, if any whould want him.

haha, the leafs are the oakland raiders of the NHL

"Send us the castoffs, the misfits, and the malcontents... We'll take em all!"

I do think he'll get traded. Everyone knows I'm not the biggest fan of Bert, I think he was a floater all year long, but if he stays I won't be upset. You won't see Crawford back next year, and I think perhaps a change of perspective could be just as useful as a change of scenery to him.

Bertuzzi has tons of skill, tons. He just isn't using it. The people inside of that franchise are better suited to determine if he will next year, but if I have to watch him floating around the blue line waiting for passes instead of earning the puck again, I gonna be pissed.

Mods, please lock this thread now that the Canucks are out of the playoffs.

:lol: :lol: :icare: :icare: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :D :D

Right on, man.

You think they can do it?
That was a sweet goal with 30 seconds left in the 3rd. I haven't cheered like that in a long time.

Yup, the Leafs will be begging for Bertuzzi, just wait and see.

A line of Bertuzzi, Tie Domi and Darcy Tucker is what Leaf Nation will be screaming for this summer. With Don Cherry coaching...

:lol:

hey now... I think I showed there is still relevant discussion to be had

Article in Vancouver Sun today suggests Bertuzzi trade somewhere to free up room to sign the Sedins to a contract extension.

Interesting.

I'll be sad to see Bert go if he does.

LOL! BigBen, If I ever meet ya buddy, I'm gonna buy you a beer for that one ;)

But seriously, I think Bert needs one more chance, I mean he's still recovering from the fall out with him and steve-o. And if he can't recover like any good player from a bad year, then, who knows?

Send Bert to Toronto, that would make me happy, we'll give Vancouver Antropov and Berg.

All I can say is that the flames are where the canucks were last year

a lot can happen in the playoffs, including favourites being eliminated

And send some of the crack you're smoking too, I'll need it.
