We're gonna have to go right to ludicrous speed: Canucks & Red Wings

PrintDetroit Red Wings at Vancouver Canucks, Mar 20, 2010 7:00 PM PDT
There once was a time(s) that facing the Red Wings this late in the season would be a monumental cause for concern.
This year, of course, not so much. They'll be in a bad mood considering they could barely leave Edmonton with a point and have to deal with Vancouver before going home to face Pittsburgh. So it's probable they'll come out flying, testing The Captain early. Weather the storm or ready the cardiac kids card. Let's see how the KesLORD responds in his first game since the extension.
Pedal to the metal time. First San Jose, now the Wings. Changing of the guard time? Not yet, but tonight will certainly get us closer to that.
Fasten all seatbelts, seal all entrances and exits, close all shops in the mall, cancel the three ring circus, secure all animals in the zoo...

Yeah, I won’t buy into the Toskala thing. Like someone said at PPP: trade away all the offence and they have themselves a team. This Leafs team is playing better as a cohesive unit.

I’m guessing the pressure. Phoenix isn’t a hockey hotspot, and maybe the reduced pressure has made Stempniak better

I think Burke is going to have a great summer. Pretty easy to convince players to play in Toronto as history shows
by Sean Zandberg on Mar 20, 2010 6:55 PM PDT up reply actions
Forget history. He’s got a good locker room and front office put together, and players are going to want to play for him. He’ll trade Kabby, but I think it’s unlikely that he gets a big name back on that. I’m not banking on a playoff push next year, but if we’re going to improve at all, it’s likely to be mostly due to the development of our young, young team.
"Defense! Defense! Common! Do you call that blowing!?"
I predict they will be haunted by the ghost of Ian White’s moustache.
Leave my name alone Botchford...get your own.
If they play with the same effort as they have since all the trades with Calgary and the Ducks…they have me half sold.
It looks like the team Burke talked about…hard to play against. Kessel just needs a great centre. A bonafide #1 line…the young guys can become the rest.

I think he’s mentioned that he’s a journalist and hinted that sports isn’t his first choice. So he basically is stank at writing and so he got banished to the sports beat and is now facing the wrath of knowledgeable hockey fans who poo all over his ridiculous articles. His view that hockey is goonish seriously makes me want to walk down to bay and harbour and punch his face in repeatedly. He is super arrogant and always feels the need to defend his moronic views with follow up articles. Such a huge moron.

It was heartening to see almost every hockey media type in Canada take shots at him when he went all apeshit about his “boy” Marty losing the Oly crease to Luongo.
And then follow that up with shots at the readers, calling them stupid too.

I think all the talk…even by his coach…of needing a 3rd line centre at the deadline helped get a fire under his tookus too.

"Defense! Defense! Common! Do you call that blowing!?"
We like him plenty.
Missing White and even Hagman a little, but that’s to be expected. He has been relatively good defensively, which is probably the biggest knock on him. A lot of people feel (as was discussed in our game thread this evening) that he has had a positive impact on other youngsters, Schenn in particular. He may be captain material. He hasn’t scored a goal yet, but it’s OK, so long as our goalies continue to play like not-Toskala.

Lou was so good up until this period. Canucks have to attack more! They were being outshot badly when the Wings worked their magic to tie it. Lou looked shady there, but his mates need to step it up too.
Funny, 2 nights in a row the Wings erase 2-0 deficits. 2 nights in a row teams leading Detroit 2-0 sit back on their leads.

me too. the kids are alright and our first line is actually seriously dangerous even if no one really knows who Kulemin and Bozak are. They will soon :) Lou is a superstar goalie don’t worry about him so much. You have a good mix of skill and grit. Your D might be a little thin but you have a sick goalie and a lot of responsible forwards to cover for that a little bit. The other hot teams in the west have more to worry about in the playoffs than you. especially san jose and chicago.

I’m not complaining about it or anything, it was just ugly. Puck deflected high over everybody right to Sedin, he made a borderline but good play to bring it down, off the stick, off the pad, off the post, and about an inch over the line … not a thing of beauty in my eyes. Scoreboard says 3-3 though, don’t it?

OK…gotta go soon, but it was a goal because they let that go a dozen times a game. steadying the puck with a dab with the thumb is different from closing the hand. He didn’t close the hand, he turned it over, putting the puck down.
The refs thought so too…because that is just the way the game is played.

it’s not good enough for you that I concede the point.
But yeah you’re right, Maclame is the foremost authority on everything as we know. Sorry but there is interpretation within the rule, so as I said, YES it could be interpreted that it was a good goal, but it is far from black and white, and YES I’m quite sure that if the shoe were on the other foot, you would be screaming blue murder that it should not count, and that is only in part because you are a homer, the other part being that there is some interpretation involved.

Hope the Canucks can learn something from this
(1) Do not take a single play off (Luongo, that’s you in the second)
(2) Take every chance seriously (Grabner, you and your fifty chances in front)
(3) Slam them when you can (Seriously, Detroit’s average age is 50 and we do not hit them?)
I’m out, good day everyone.
I’m out too.
Have to say…nucklinBadger, that is a pretty consise game recap right there!
I agree with it all.
fun stuff guys…night.

Nope, it’s a fuckin’ nightmare.
It could be much, much worse … you could be an Oilers fan. Our season has been the suck since Khabibulin gave Game 1 to the Flames.

I feel you bro i find it unfathomable that anyone could play worse than the mid-season Leafs. I also find it extremely disturbing that I am actually happy the leafs hired JFJ instead of Quinn’s choice Tambelini who is currently destroying your team.

Luongo was 2nd star.
Filpulla was 1st, zetterberg was 3rd.

Luongo is first star if he keeps that second goal out.

The bright side: Calgary is 2 points out of the playoffs.

Kesler contract?
Everybody in Van City happy with it? Compared to Burrows it seems like an overpay, but that’s more cuz Burrows is a massive underpay than anything. Those guys have both been dynamite for years … is the consensus that Kesler is considerably the better of the two? Or does he just have a better agent?

fro a neutral perspective : he had better luck with timing and he is worth the money. This is the kind of player that you have to reward, not Ales Kotalik or Jason Blake etc. He gets it and that is priceless.

He sure does get it. He brings it every night, and in all three zones. Burrows too. Canucks are lucky to have both.

an overpay...
I think he would get that money on the open market easily.
Production wise… are his numbers worth that? Compare to other players in the $5 mill per category. I think based on all his contributions it is a great deal for Vancouver, and I’m really happy Kesler has signed on the dotted line.
I think
absolutely he would get more on the open market, and I think Gillis knows that too, otherwise what’s the hurry.
Burr had 1 good season when he signed his deal and it’s only 3 years, though it was still a great bargain even at the time, I think the question was could he do it again or was it all the twin-factor, clearly he’s better with them but still a huge contributor on any line.
Kes has done it longer and arguably better, plus they get him a lot longer so it should be cheaper as we go along, while getting Burr re-signed in two more years could be tricky…

Burrows has 3 more years at $2 MM. It was a 4-year, $8 MM deal. Sweet deal from the team’s perspective.

My mistake
and you’re right, even better deal for the Nucks esp considering Burr will be 32 when the deal is up.

Not following ...
are you saying he’s an overpay?
His numbers aren’t bad – and going up every year – especially when you consider he gets the tough minutes and comp, the own zone starts, is good on faceoffs, and delivers on the PK. His GA is higher than I would have expected, but he’s got a crappy Sv% ON behind him which is surely mostly luck? Still, to be on the plus side of the ledger with his workload is no mean feat.

List
of Centres by cap hit, I think taking into consideration all around game, age, term and when the deals were signed Kes is at worst fair value, probably a bargain, and based in trajectory and inflation, should continue to be even moreso… hopefully at least.

Thanks. AFAIC, Kesler is superior to ~half the guys at or above the $5 MM mark on that list.

Players like that pick up the rest of the team too. The Leafs have it in Kulemin and he’s about to be a RFA so lets see how much gets thrown at him cuz players like this are so rare these days.

Goddamnit.
Anyone notice that Lu got beat with the same shot that beat him in the playoffs, the cut to the centre backhand? This one was Zetterberg but in the playoffs it was Patty Kane.

Still somewhat disconcerting.
Dont mind the loser point, and at least the Lames are 2 points out of a playoff spot now!
Cheers to them not making the playoffs! C’mon Sean, I know you want to!

I have a feeling out little bet won’t be determined until thta last game in April…but you never know.
The Flames dying on the vine is great…don’t get me wrong.
Just not willing to put RIP by their name yet…
