We Bleed and You Suck! Canucks Beat Hawks To Extend Series

PrintI'm not going to get into this game too much at this point as emotions abound. But that was the Canucks doing about everything we hoped they would do to extend this series. Discipline (for the most part -fuck you refs), increased pressure in Chicago's end, better coverage in front of Luongo's crease, Lou being solid...
Well well well all of sudden we have a series!

That piece of shite Quenneville had Ben Eager out on the last shift and Ehrhoff is lucky Eager didn’t put him out of the series with a cheap slash across the wrists. What a piece of garbage Eager is (as is Quenneville). Man, if we can somehow get past Chicago, I honestly don’t care what happens with Saint Joseph.
Someone in a blue/white jersey may or may not have...
SMASHED A BLACKHAWKS HEAD OFF THE FUCKING BENCH!!!!! You want to bitch about a slash now? Your team is full of cheap cry babies. It shouldn’t take your coach calling you out on national to to stop bitching about refs and play a fucking game.
hmmm....
i think someone from SCH needs to explain to their relatively new fellow member how to behave over here……

Just calling bullshit. Granted I did go on a bit of a rant after… I actually like most of the content on NM. You have a lot of good writers and good fans.
What incident are you referring to?
I honestly don’t know what you are talking about with:
SMASHED A BLACKHAWKS HEAD OFF THE FUCKING BENCH!!!!!

yeah, we’ve moved on from that game. there’s so much analysis between each game now that once we play another game, we move on to it.
this entire series has been interesting.
and that was burrows, near the end of the game.

Trust me
If Burrows was on any team other than the Canucks, I’d probably share your feelings about him.
The story of his rise to NHL stardom (can I say that? Is Burrows an NHL star?) is a nice feel-good story, but yeah, not an easy guy to like if you’re playing against him.
Knights, Canucks, Dolphins, Jays and Raptors all the way.
I still don't understand
why Hawks fans are so upset about what happened with Bolland at the end of game 3. I think if that’s not Burrows they would have forgotten it by now. He came in to protect a Sedin and basically punched the back of Bolland’s helmet a couple times. It was the kind of thing you see dozens and dozens of times every season and no one remembers the next day. Unless you have an axe to grind against a certain player.

No I wouldn't that's the whole point
I was trying to make. Those kinds of things, punching and shoving and punching at the benches those things happen in 15-20 games a year with skirmishes and one player grabbing another from behind and punching him. It happens so much I don’t remember ever getting mad about it happening to one of the Canucks. I can remember being pissed at the other Canucks for not jumping in to help sooner. But getting worked up and calling what Burrows did a cheap shot tells me you either never played hockey or just hate Burrows and don’t judge his actions without bias.

Would Burrows punch really have injured and sent Bolland off for any time. Not really. Was Eager intentionally trying to injure our star defenseman? Taking a whack with 2 hands on the stick to a guy looks like intent to injure in my opinion.
I agree on the first part
but not necessarily on the second part. It was a slash and slashes are always somewhat dangerous. Not sure about the intent to injure part. I would have to see it again.

Yeah I’d have to see it again but taking a whack like that towards the end of the game when you’re down 2 seems at least questionable.
Yeah my feelings on slashes
are that they happen a lot all over the ice and just because it was the lat seconds doesn’t make it dirty. I would have to see it again as I said but my initial reaction when I saw it last night was that it wasn’t a big deal.

Fights dont bother me.
And there’s nothing wrong with jumping in to defend a team mate. Hell, I wish Burish would start doing just that. My issue with the Burrows hiw was that he wasn’t trying to do either of those things. He shoved Bollands head directly into the boards. It wasn’t a poke, it wasn’t a punch and it had nothing to do with the BS that Sedin started. His actions, in that particular case, screamed intent to injure to me. The line between “contact after the whistle” and plain, dirty BS was well behind him on that one.
ooooooo
he’s so incensed about it… yet can’t remember who he is talking about.
Trust me. There is animosity on both sides, and there has been bullshit happening regardless of the uniform. Don’t get all indignant. Your guys have been utter assholes for the most part as well. Burris, Eager, Ladd…all being dicks.

In regards to the recent postings about Luongo deflecting the blame onto his players, from what I’ve read after today’s game he seems to deflect praise away from himself too, so maybe that’s just the type of guy he is, rather than blaming the rest of them when they lose
Kelly Hrudey or maybe it was (can’t be cuz it may have been intelligent) Milbury made a comment last night about the goalie being a captain is bad, because if they have a bad game how do they go talk about their team after, which is a captains job. It was a good point; some people here are quick to jump all over luongo for ‘throwing his teammates under the bus’, but the captain HAS to talk about the team, not just himself. Luongo does often say things like “I need to be better” and “I need to stop those”.

Twilight came to mind when I read the heading, gross.
Someone on SCH pointed out that we may actually control the series. When we decide to play well, we win decisively. When we’re complacent, whiney, and irresponsible we blow and lose. Keep outplaying 5-on-5, bury our scoring chances, and have Luongo play well (no rebounds!) and we can pull it off.
Next game’s gonna be a gongshow.

again with the reffing
Can we please get some refs in their late 40s who have some recollection of playoff hockey. There are just too many phantom/bs penalties being called, I really don’t understand why a ref doesn’t see the the Seabrook (Campbell?) fall in the first. At least one of you has to follow the puck. There’s two of you fuckers out there! Christ. Diving is becoming way too common as a result, we don’t want a soccer game breaking out.
Sedin’s need to make a bigger impact next game, not a big concern, just turn it up a notch.
Keith, actually
But yeah, the refereeing was pretty terrible all around.
Knights, Canucks, Dolphins, Jays and Raptors all the way.
I was at the girlfriend’s parent for mothers day dinner, and when that call against burrows came she was in the kitchen cooking, came out and said “what did he get a penalty for?” I said “Two minutes for being on the Canadian team.” I was joking. Sort of.
"Hope you like pancakes, Norway..." Morgan Freeman
"you'll be playing in england the rest of your career" Alex Burrows
"Aint no party like my nana's tea party...hey...hoe..."
To be fair, Burrows stick was in the area of Keith’s feet (but he didn’t trip him) so I can understand why a ref perceived it as tripping, depending on the point of view of the ref that made the call. Throw in the fact that it’s such a fast game and the ref don’t have the benefit of video replay for penalties, it’s natural that they’ll make mistakes like that.
And the Canucks got away with some penalties of their own (ie. trip on Toews).
But seriously, I’m reading way too much complaining about the officials EVERY game. Getting pretty sick of it…

Bang on the money. The Burrows call was bad but from the angle the Ref was at you can see why he made it. The Reffing needs to get a bit better but it’s getting annoying to read people complaining, and even more annoying are the ridiculous conspiracy theories, after every single game.

Seriously? After all the bitching I did about people calling conspiracy do you really think I believe there’s one? It’s called a joke. I don’t disagree the reffing sucked both ways last night, that was just the first one and saying ‘2 minutes for being alex burrows’ woulda been just as conspiracy-y to some. Although, it probably was ‘2 minutes for being burrows’ cuz if he’s in the vicinity and somebody falls, some refs are gonna have to play with the odds…

Whoa, conspiracy? We're getting a bit sensitive I think.
Not sure who the writer is thats being referred to, but my comment is a general one about the fact that refs are putting up their arm in virtually every case where someone falls or is knocked off the puck. Lets make it clear I’m not talking against the Canucks only.
Its causing WAY too much diving, by ALL teams. Kesler was guilty of one last game against Hossa I believe. He felt the stick and dropped to the ice. Players are getting really good at it and the refs must fume about it when they watch the tape.
The league needed to speed up the game, get rid of the goons and they’ve done it. It worked. Now its time to let these skilled players play. I don’t buy the game is too fast, there is only one puck and there are two refs. Lets give them some credit that they are capable of reading a play as this is their full-time job.
It's not sensitive and it wasn't directed at
any one post or poster in particular. Remember this fan shot? http://www.nucksmisconduct.com/2010/4/19/1432070/conspiracy-time
This is typical of Canucks fans. How about right now WAACH trying to stir up some bullshit story about the Hawks luggage. Trying to find disrespect where it doesn’t exist. It’s a symptom of Canuck fans. The Ref blew a call but it hasn’t been as bad as anyone seems to think. And it’s been pretty even if you ask me. No one team getting screwed more than the other. The complaining about the Reffing constantly after every game gets tiresome. The one Ref from last game played Major Junior Hockey and played for Mike Babcock at one point. So he is certainly much more qualified to Ref high level hockey than any of us. And he doesn’t get the benefit of replay and slow motion. Sure I saw that Keith stumble as a stumble. But I had the better camera angle. The Ref was on the ice and from his vantage point it looked like a trip. It sucks but it happens. We killed it off so no harm done. And these things even out of the course of a series.

Agree
I fully agree that Canucks fans generally are quick to find excuses and go by emotion rather than fact. The fact is the Canucks lost this series b/c of games 3 & 4. More composure would have got them at least a game and gave them a shot. Spotty reffing was just salt in the self-created wounds.
I turned off the TV after the 5th goal and am now going to get on with my summer. Maybe watch a bit of Suns-Lakers. Lifelong Lakers fan, but would be happy to let Nash have a go at the title this year.
That was a great win last night. I knew if they played like they could they could win that game. And if they keep playing like that, they have a shot at the series.
See what happens when you keep your composure? Good things!

Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that I may dance the good time dance, and lead the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance.
Seriously, I got cut up like that one of the few times I played hockey. Wasn’t fun, and I looked like a raccoon for a week. On the plus side, I got lots of sympathy from concerned ladies. Without even going to the Roxy.

It’s scary when it happens so close to your eyes though…

I was so pumped when I saw him back that period. There’s a true hockey player. On the same note, it was cool to see Steve Nash finish the fourth quarter getting 10 points with 1 eye. That’s a true Canadian right there.
I actually forgot that game was on. I don’t watch BB anymore but love Nash in the playoffs. Only started watching b/c I checked Twitter and Bill Simmons said something like how come the only Canadian in the league is the one that always gets hockey type injuries? Suck on that Tinkerbell (LeBron).

Where is the love
for Bieksa?????
You guys love to cut him down EVERY time he has a bad game. Heck even when he just has a mediocre game. He was dominant last night. Where is the love?
Also the Canucks need to play that same road game that they played last night at home. And Luongo needs to be good at home. It is a little strange that Luongo has been so good in Chicago and so bad at home. Let’s hope that changes tomorrow.

Play Razor at home!!!!!
All kidding aside, the Canucks played really well last night, here’s hoping they can keep it up. Although, one must wonder, why must we get beaten up in order to win? So, it’s okay for the goons to run amok all over the ice, and not get penalized for it? That Eager shot to Ehrhoff at the end of the game was dirty, hell, basically everything Eager does comes out all wrong.

Eager was penalized on the play
so I am not too sure what the problem is with that one.

I’d say that was intent to injure… no possible reason to check him, Hawks net wasn’t empty if I recall, he was sent out to hurt someone

I really doubt
he was sent out there to injure someone. Joel Quenville isn’t that kind of coach. He might have been sent out there to send a message and just is an idiot. That I would believe. But I still think it’s just 2 minutes for slashing. Otherwise every slash ever would be intent to injure.

the question is with mitcell out and salo possibly out did eager intentially target another top six vancouver defence man. looked like it to me
He slashed a guy
who had recently dished off the puck. Nothing more nothing less. This kind of thing happens all the time and making a big deal about it makes us seem as petty and whiny as Hawks fans still whinging about Burrows at the end of game 3.

yeah because a guy who plays around 4 or 5 minutes a game on the ice in a game that’s out of reach would never be sent out to send a message and fuck someone up, right?
Eager’s such a douchebag he’s even done this when his team was winning. It was Eager who ran our goalie in that 8-2 blowout against the Flyers a few years ago. Sorry, I know we never agree on anything, but I think you’re just flat out wrong about Eager and Quennville for that matter.

Well maybe I am wrong
but I have a lot of respect for Joel Quenville. I wish you did.
And I did say MAYBE Eager was sent out to send a message and just did a stupid job of it. But really he got a slashing penalty and no one got hurt. What’s the big fucking deal?

I didn’t think he was as bad as everyone said in Game 4. Probably not his best game but I still think he’s top 4 material. Even with that terrible giveaway last night, Alberts is looking more and more decent out there. If he can keep improving he might be a reliable top 6 defenseman if he can start using his size more to his advantage without taking penalties.
