GAME TIME: 6:30 PST
TV: CBC, Versus, RDS
THE ENEMY: Second City Hockey
Update (3:50 PST): Not so cocky now, are ya Stevie?
Update: Salo did skate this morning, wore a green jersey (no contact) and left early. They are still calling him a game time decision. The way he was skating I'd say he's not going to play. Check out TSN's Ice Chips video about it. You'll laugh. Vigneault is so damned funny, as is SOB.
It's amazing how the team identities have changed during this series. The Blackhawks sort of became guilty of becoming the Canucks of Game 4 last game: undisciplined, not playing to their potential, etc. Nobody is winning by a mere goal in this series. The close games we anticipated are not really materializing. The winners win decisively for the most part.
The Hawks want to get more pucks on net in Game 6. They want to get back to harassing Roberto Luongo. They want some scoring out of Patrick Kane, even though he has 2 goals and 4 assists in this series. They want to play more disciplined.
The Canucks need to emulate Game 5: score early and take control, stay on Auntie Niemi, don't let the Hawks get under their skin, maintain pressure in Chicago's zone, play strong and smart in their own zone, and of course get another great performance from Luongo.
It's amazing how the bounces went Vancouver's way last game. Hell, one banked in off Wellwood's ass. Even Luongo's rebounds were all heading in the right directions plus he got a lot of help from the guys in front of him to clear away errant pucks. Maintain that. Work your asses off boys and it should continue.
STATS FROM GAME 5
-3 points for Kevin Bieksa.
-3 players with 2 assists: Hank, Wellwood and Samuelsson.
-1 goal and 1 assist for Alexandre Burrows. Is he snapping out of his funk?
-The Canucks only gave Chicago 3 power play chances (went 0-for-3). The Hawks gave the Canucks 6 (went 1-for-6).
-The Hawks committed 12 giveaways to the Canucks' 8.
-9 takeaways by the Hawks, 3 by Vancouver.
-Chicago missed the net 11 times to Vancouver's 8.
-14 blocked shots by the Hawks and 12 by Vancouver.
Info from NHL.com
STATS FOR THE SERIES
-Hawks' Power Play: 7 goals on 40 shots
-Canucks' Power Play: 5 goals on 29 shots
-My math says the power plays-given count is: Hawks - 24 Canucks - 25
LEADING SCORERS:
1. Toews: 4-7-11
2. H. Sedin: 2-4-6
3. Sharp: 2-4-6
4. Kane: 2-4-6
5. Bieksa: 2-3-5
There are some Canucks that need to be scoring more goals.
OVERALL GOALS:
Chicago 18 Vancouver 17
GOALS BY DEFENCEMEN:
Canucks 5 Hawks 2
Can the Canucks finally beat Chicago at GM Place this series? Can the fans at the game please be as bloodthirsty and insane as the Montreal crowd was last night? Or maybe not. Kidding, however.... said Bieksa today:
"We seem to play a different game at home against this team," Kevin Bieksa said. "Maybe we're too riled up with the fans. We're good when we're in control. When we play like that we win games.
"But the team we're playing against is really frustrating. There's a lot of little rats running around."
Lawrence Nycholat
#32 / Defenseman / Vancouver Canucks
6-0
200
May 07, 1979, Calgary Alberta
Total NHL Games Played: 50
Total NHL Points: 9
If Sami Salo cannot play tonight word is that Lawrence Nycholat will. I think Aaron Rome is still suffering from an injury as he didn't even accompany the team to Chicago for Game 5. Sucky. However, Nycholat is a 6 foot defenceman who weighs about 200 pounds. He was injured a lot in the AHL this season, but still managed 5 goals and 22 points in 37 games with the Moose. He also had 74 shots and was a -2. Bit of a tough guy. Anyone out there shed some more light on him for us?
That's about all I can muster right now. It's do or die time again. Backs are still to the wall. For some reason there is no panic in me. I guess it will come at game time. But hopefully that doesn't happen to the Canucks.
GO CANUCKS GO!!

OT, but i was wondering
Can someone explain to me where the term “gongshow” came from? I’m assuming it must be a Canadian thing, but I’ve heard it a lot in the past week (both here and in a non-hockey context from another Canadian).
hahaha it is canadian!!!!
i had an american friend ask us that in residence last year.
it’s basically where something (usually a party) gets out of control.

Is it really just a Canadian thing?
Cause it’s from the TV Show The Gong Show which aired on NBC for years.

Maybe it never caught on the US as a term? A lot of terms tend to only be regional things. Case in point: When I was in high school in BC everyone used “pinner” all the time to refer to people who were skinny/not muscular. Whenever I use it out east everyone gives me weird looks
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Bahahah “pinner”. Elementary/high school memorie come a-flooding.

I used to work with a guy from Ontario and instead of saying screwed or fucked he would say “eukered”. Some sort of card game every out east plays I guess.

Latest word is that Sami is a gametime decision.
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.
They were saying on 1040 that he was walking normally but skating gingerly. Just the fact that he’s not laying in bed with a giant tub of ice cream is impressive.

The long wait
The game is on at 930pm out here. I have had knots in my stomach all day. I would have a beer to take off the edge, but that would be a slippery slope considering it’s still 7 hours til faceoff (I’d like to, y’know, be awake for and remember this game).
The build-up to elimination games encapsulate some of the best and worst parts about being a fan: the nervous anticipation, the feeling that tonight history could be made something momentous could happen, the inability to properly focus on other aspects of your day-to-day life.

Yeah but you’re making the wrong comparison. It’s Vancouver to Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Minnesota compared to Vancouver to San Jose, LA, Anaheim and Dallas. No contest as to which option is collectively closer!
by Beantown Canuck on May 11, 2010 2:01 PM PDT up reply actions
The shortest option would be no change to the division, but that only happens if Phoenix does not move to Winnipeg. Having Winnipeg in a division with California in Texas would be nonsensical.

what about this?
Pacific: ANA, LAK, SJS, VAN, NSH
Northwest: CGY, EDM, WPG, COL, MIN
Central: CHI, DET, STL, CBJ, TOR
Atlantic: NJD, NYI, NYR, PHI, PIT
Northeast: BOS, OTT, MTL, WSH, BUF
Southeast: CAR, ATL, FLA, TBL, DAL
1. PHO becomes WPG and moves to the Northwest
2. VAN moves to the Pacific
3. NSH moves to the Pacific - maybe this doesn’t make sense, but makes as much sense as Dallas in the Pacific
4. TOR moves the Western Conference, alongside their O6 brethren, CHI and DET. If DET can put up with the Western travel, then the Leafs can suck it up.
5. WSH moves to the Northeast
6. DAL moves to the Southeast
if
the leafs move to the west we might see the first 0-82 team.
Haha, was just gonna say something like that.
There’s no way that’ll happen though. People would riot the streets around here if the Leafs play at 10PM EST.

As you said it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Short of the central and Southeast there isn’t a great place to put them
Before game 5 I’m going to admit I voted they were gone based on what we’d seen. But if they play like last game today and win this one obviously it’s anyone’s game in game 7.
If the Canucks win today I’m gonna stay at home and watch game 7 on (my) Friday. Today I’ll just be following the score at work/uni

Lower bowl tickets?

Anyhoo, I hope we see the same effort as last game. Someone was asking me the other day if I was pissed off that we were down in the series (this was before Game 5). I said I wasn’t angry we were down, it was the WAY we went down. We just completely imploded and I had no hope. Now I’ve got hope, and I’m sure the boys will be pumped tonight with their backs against the wall, here’s to seeing the same effort.

Word is that Willie Mitchell was hanging with the boys today telling them the story of how his Wild came back from a 3-1 deficit to defeat the Canucks several years ago. Shit that’s the first I’ve heard of Mitchell in weeks
did Willie actually remember the comeback?
or did he have to show newspaper clippings and YouTube video?
Also before Game 5
I read in The Province that he did before Game 5 too. Hey, if Mitchell can offer some insight on what he sees, why not? Bieksa thought it helped…or maybe he was just being nice…

this has nothing to do with hockey but this really put me in a foul mood. graphic video. but fuck it, i hate my country sometimes. well no, most of the time. thank you to the city of vancouver, for making fucking sense in trying to make normal marijuana legislation . FREE MARC EMERY. GO NUCKS!
OT: you are kidding, right?
free Mark Emery? he broke a law, plain and simple. whether you agree with the law being there or not is another subject for discussion. the fact is, he broke the law and is required to perform restitution as a result. end of story.
sadly
youre right. but richard nixon did some crooked shit and got a pardon. but some food for thought is how are you supposed to change this law without breaking it? the fact is he gave most of his revenue away to groups advocating legalization worldwide. the US said that his arrest “is a blow to legalization efforts everywhere” which is political motivation, which is also unlawful. either way sorry for posting it this isnt the place for it in the first place. too bad there’s not a delete button.
Well..that was a great clip. Out of the blue. Let’s talk hockey!

If only both sides of political
debates could refrain from name calling and labeling each other. What a world we would live in. Oh well. Back to not caring about what political zealots think.

In Vancouver maybe
but not up North where Sean and I live. Minus 50 in the winter with the wind chill some days.

Perfect weather for me is when it’s sunny out, but breezy. Not a fan of searing humid heat.

Wind?
Try living in the North. I live 30 minutes from BC’s largest Wind Farm. It’s windy here every single day 20km/h is the slowest. That’s why winter sucks so much cause there is always a wind chill in effect.

Wind? did someone say Wind?
you should have grown up like I did in Lethbridge … where you learned to walk with a lean.
No I hate the weather here and in Alberta
I live the weather in Vancouver. I SHOULD live there. Now I am whimpering and dreaming of home. Thanks guys.

in before the Chicago trolls
it’s not rain. it’s Luongo’s tears from his post-game presser. …
but seriously … the rain is awesome
i'm sorry, missy
I love my Nucks …. and I love the rain …. it is why I moved here from the flatlands.
If I want snow, I can drive to it.
plus I can run year-round outdoors without freezing my anatomy.
yeah, the southwest coast is where the beautiful weather is. all we get is rain in the winter

4-2 Canucks, Hank with the winner
Also anyone want to sponsor me in getting tickets to tonight’s game? Me and my dad have been to 12 games this season (including one playoff game, the 7-2 win over the Kings) and the Canucks have been undefeated in every game we’ve been to. So if you want a guaranteed win, help me get tickets to tonight’s game! (just kidding, but seriously if you want to give me some tickets that’d be nice haha)

nycholat
i saw him play a couple times this year in abbotsford when the moose were in town, looked pretty good to me, mind you it was the ahl. Pretty good puck mover, can play physically as well. Go Nuckies!!!
maybe people would take him more seriously ....
if he was ‘Larry Nycholat’, as opposed to ‘Lawrence’.

4:00 – ticketless. We wanna be there Vancouver but we’re on a student budget here. Go get em boys! We’ll be watchin from somewhere I guess.

thank goodness
their antics didn’t do the Canucks much good when they showed up at Game 4.
15 minutes has run its course!
Serious question: do people actually believe in jinxes or the course of the game having anything to do with two fans?
no jinx
I just don’t like seeing some guys shriveled package up against the glass when they cut to the penalty box camera.
So your hoping Sami Salo
doesn’t get any penalties tonight?

Dear Sami Salo -
I’ve been whacked in the nether-regions before, but never in the manner you have been. I can remember when it happened to me, I didn’t want to face the world or do anything…I just wanted to get my breath back and hope that someday I would be able to stand straight again.
When I think of my life and what work means to me…I would do nearly anything to get to work and ‘make the bell’ each and every day. However, if I suffered an injury in any manner similar to you, I would be at home, lying on the couch with a very large ice pack…for a week.
For you to even try and go back to work after such an even…well…I have no words. Its…inspriing.
Go Canucks…
for the record
everyone in chicago hates steve rosenbloom. ill apologize on everyones behalf for his existance. go hawks.
Life is good for Mizzou sports fans right now.
This ended very badly. I am sorry for my fellow Canucks fans.
This year felt better than the last. I’m firmly rooting for Chicago now. Because your team loses, it better be to the very best.
