Someone had mentioned that the Canucks are undefeated when I post a Metallica photoshop image on a game thread. Well let's put that to the test, shall we?
Metallica has been my favorite band since 1989. Growing up in a christian home I was sheltered from the secular music scene, especially heavy metal, the devil's music. I went to a christian school from grades 1-8, and switched to the public school for grade 9.
One day I was sitting next to a guy in English 9 class who was wearing a walkman. I could hear the speed of the music coming out of his earphones. I nudged him and asked him what he was listening to. Without saying a word, he took off his earphones and put them over my ears. The song playing was "Blackened" by Metallica.
The rest is history. I fell in love with thrash metal at that moment and never looked back, even though I was told I was going to hell for listening to it. I even bought an electric guitar and have been playing it ever since.
Master of Puppets is regarded as one of the best and most influential thrash albums of all time. I believe Slayer's Reign in Blood is #1. (Guitar World)
Back to the Canucks-Hawks. This game is so crucial. We cannot go back to Chicago down 3-2. Forget about it. Hopefully the Canucks play like they KNOW they can't do that. I can't believe that the Canucks have scored the first goal in every game of this series and have failed so miserably to shut Chicago down in the process. Enough is enough!
Make some noise!

Christianity is great, its sad that its ruined by everyones own personal set of “rules”. I’m a Christian, but I don’t buy into the traditional.
Anyways, go Nucks.
I just can’t believe how much Malkin looks like his mom

I've got an eight-pack
of Extra Old Stock for the game, and by God I intend to use it.
4-0 Canucks
H Sedin, Sundin, Salo, Pyatt (with emphasis)
Oh man, Old Stock? Its been 15 years since I went down that road. I gotta ask, why the OS when BC flourishes with incredible micro-brews?
Cool piece on the BC boys playing for the Hawks.
Kinda cool that they all played novice hockey together and end up playing pro together too.
I'm leaving this on the counter for all the Swede's
When you are finished pounding the Hawks tonight…c’mon over for your reward.
I’m out in 30 mins…Go Canucks Go!
I've give you two to one odds that they do not!
You can collect the $20 on your next trip to Smithers, BC…
The second singer definitely sounds better to me

I hope they are not aggravating Salo's injury by playing him
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
You'd think that Bernier is the stone-handed one,
but he scored quite a few goals so far in the playoffs
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
yuck, turnover on change, reminds me of the Ducks game
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
We all four lines to step up tonight
every player needs to step up
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
Vancover is having trouble getting out of their own zone
Not good
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
OK team…I am out of here.
I’ll be refreshing the scoreboard and Twitter on my phone (phone can’t handle this website…attn: mobile version of Nucks Misconduct needed)
Defense seem to be loose and scrambling tonight
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
Get the puck to the front of the net, and good things happen.
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
The defense is stll not having good coverage in that first goal
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
Hope Canucks continue to have tight defense
Can’t let the Hawks spread them thin
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
Well, I like that they’re going for it instead of sitting back all the time like the last one. This isn’t the Canucks of the last couple years; they can actually score now.

I’m not liking this at all. We are playin with fire when we start matchin chances with the Hawks. We can score, but so can they. We are way better defensively and thats where we should be aimin.
yeah, what’s with all the fucking panic in our zone?
Answer: lack of foot speed and good decision making

Three beers down
but this game isn’t getting any easier to watch.
Gads, I have a feeling on impending doom.
That’s a way to prove himself!

I’m already a fan of his on facebook, don’t worry.

Love Shorty. Him and Larscheid are fantastic together. Larscheid’s “Bingo, bango, bongo” line is still one of my all-time favourites.

If Mats Sundin's goal turns out to be the GWG
I will chug 13 beers and post the video of the aftermath.
Do they still have that Ultimate Canucks Search going on? You might have just won.

Whenever I see your sig,
this song plays in my head. Except instead of “I am a real American” it sings “I am a free Canadian.”
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
I don't even care if your avatar is a picture of you,
I’ll always envision the face behind “Temujin” as a Canadian Hulk Hogan
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
HAHA you know what
he does look pretty fat in that pic, Must have been right when he was called up last year. Q’s made him drop some LB’s
What are the Canucks doing fighting with a one-goal lead?
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
Dunno, but they better get a lead fucking soon.

They need to remain calm and focused.
It seems they are panicking even when they are the team who is ahead
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
Vigneault need to establish tight defense and keep the offense going as a unit
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
The first 5 mins of the 3rd is gonna be crazy. The Hawks smell blood, and Van better be prepared to match ’em.
On a completely different note, isn’t this just amazingly good hockey to watch. As a fan, I find it hard to believe that the NHL isnt doin better as a league.
The day ESPN signs up for NHL broadcasting
and Versus learns to broadcast like a professional, is the day the NHL takes off in the US
ESPN sucks, I’d rather the NHL just be on NBC and CBS or TBS

Le Sigh
I blame Gary Bettman. Stupid Fucking asshole that he is.
Game 6 we will fucking kill those bastards.
I love how there wasn’t a dive called there, yet there was one called on Hordichuk last game. Refs, can we have some fucking consistency? If you are going to be bad at least be consistent about it. I think Campbell was considering losing all of his clothing just to make sure his point got across.
I'm old enough to understand. Jerks.

Sorry for the musclewomen
was the best picture for “backs” I could in 10 seconds of looking
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Maybe I should just stick to words.
Then again, I failed at that attempt too. I’ll blame that one on Nyquil.
NOW STOP IT RIGHT HERE
Good game Nucks, see you on Monday night.
Derrick Rose will lead us back to the promise land.
In Vinny We Trust!
Well, the Hawks were the better team tonight. Its puzzling though why the Nucks arent attackin the net more. Khabibulin is lookin average, and tonight coughed up a couple of huge rebounds off easy shots. The series is far from over, but we are losin games on the stupidest plays. That Havlat goal in game 4 is still buggin me, and tonight the winner was again a result of a ridiculously misplayed clearing attempt. Those are the types of things that weren’t happenin all year.
Its a shame that they are costin us now.
Oh well, Mondays game will be a beauty. Chicago has all the pressure now. See how they deal with it.
And finally, bandwagoners out there can clear off the wagon now. I don’t wanna see you around if there is a game 7.
The team MVP Keslar has not played well in the playoffs at all.
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
The Canucks have never won a game when behind in the third.
I doubt that they can come back down in the series.
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
If they can come back to Game 7, I'll be a serious paying fan.
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
The worst part about this series is that this is NOT the same team from round 1. This is not the team that made me feel ridiculously confident about our chances. I don’t like the team I am watching right now.
I'm old enough to understand. Jerks.
You're not playing the Blues anymore
Hawks have far more scoring threats. Did you think this would be an easy 4 or 5 games and move on?
I, for one, knew it was gonna tough.
The Hawks are much faster and more skilled than the Blues, and the Canucks for that matter.
Bottom line IMO: Too many mistakes leading to a skilled team capitalizing.
The Canucks seemed nervous from the get go. A lot of defensise miscues.
I had thought they were the team with more grit and determiation, But not in this series
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
I thought it would be 6 or 7. But this has been infuriating to watch. We are either not playing our type of hockey or waaaaaaay overdoing our type of hockey. Game 2 was tough on me so I have been emotionally detached from this series. So at least I won’t be heartbroken.

Game 4 was a heartbreaker for me.
Now I’m emotionally detached.
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
Why were the fans throwing stuff on the ice?
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
Sundin was playing a great time, as he is heating up slowly
It’s such a pity. If the Canucks could move on into the next round, Sundin might just be able to find his A game and help them.
In the battle of the strong, victory goes to the brave.
There have been a few times this series where he has put the puck across the middle hoping someone will be there to finish. But no one has been there. He needs some help.
I think Wellwood has shown that he is a keeper from these playoffs. He hasn’t been spectacular but he has definitely been solid at pretty much all times. Same with Mason Raymond. He needs to be put on a line with Sundin.
I'm old enough to understand. Jerks.
