Update (5:00 PST): What did I just hear on TSN? Dustin Byfuglien promoted to the top line?
Update (4:00 PST): An grey whale spotted in False Creek today. A good luck omen? (heheh) h/t to Miss 604.
Update (3:40 PST): Canucks recalled Yan Stastny from Manitoba today. He may as well hang out with the boys.
Update (11:50 PM): Shane O'Brien says team needs to be less passive in Game 3 (Vancouver Sun), plus, don't ask Ryan Kesler how the Canucks will remedy their power play because he won't tell you shit (Vancouver Sun), but he will give a comedic response.
Update (11:30 PST): Ah yes, and Vancouver media is jumping all over Patrick Kane for his incident with a cabbie last summer.
Blackhawks' Patrick Kane (a.k.a. 20 Cent) is in town and we want to ensure that our cabbies are safe, so tip your cabbie in dimes to help them avoid a beating.
More on that at Puck Daddy.
Update (11:20 PST): It appears that Ryan Johnson and Darcy Hordichuk will play tonight while Michael Grabner and Jannik Hansen sit. That is not official yet.
It was a rotten case of deja-vu in Game 2. That looked like the Vancouver Canucks of the mid-late 1990's, or even the squads from the early 2000's. Blowing a 2 goal lead in that choking kind of fashion, flopping around like a bunch of beached orcas. If they had just maintained a little more composure they could very well have pulled off a 2-1 squeaker and this sort of jibberish wouldn't be necessary.
Sitting on 2-goal leads doesn't work anymore. Not in these playoffs. I should do a count on how many times a team has blown a 2 or even 3-goal lead in these playoffs. Madness. Hell, Detroit did it last night to put themselves down 3-0 against the Sharks. Best thing to do now is stay on the attack. No taking the foot off the gas. The Canucks need to play like the mad men that they were in Game 1 on enemy turf. This sitting back and letting Chicago attack in game 2 only caused heart palpitations for them and their fans.
Meanwhile, Roberto Luongo is stellar. That part is all taken care of. So the rest of the boys should just go out and play their game.
-Christian Ehrhoff was a -3 in game 2. The Sedins and Kyle Wellwood were each -2.
-Brent Seabrook was a +4, while Kris Versteeg and Duncan Keith were each a +3.
-Only 1 goal for Ryan Kesler in these playoffs, but he does have 8 assists for 9 points in 8 playoff games.
-Pavol Demitra has 2 goals and 4 assists in 8 playoff games. You know, that is about his average points-per-game pace over his career. We are not going to get much more out of him than that offensively.
-One goal and no assists in 8 playoff games makes Alexandre Burrows a sad sad man. Yeah he's defensively sound and yadda yadda but we need some offence from him. He is on a top 6 scoring line after all.
-Mason Raymond has 2 goals and 1 assist against the Hawks so far. Keep it up Mason!
-Marian Hossa has zero points and 6 shots against the Canucks this series. This won't last forever. He had 7 points against the Preds.
-Unfortunately, 4 active Blackhawks were spawned in British Columbia: Brent Seabrook, Troy Brouwer, Andrew Ladd and Colin Fraser. I wonder how much of their friends and family will be at these games cheering them on.
Whatever.
GO CANUCKS GO! BEAT THESE BASTARDS!

because their attitude of a win, no matter how close was utter domination, while a loss was always 100% their own fault, and never anything the team that beat them did. even the vancouver media, as flawed as they are, aren’t this bad. Chicago hasn’t won anything either, neither team should be so cocky

there was an advantage for the Hawks at times, but that game wasn’t exactly one sided. The Canucks pop a PP goal or two and that game is totally different. Yes they do, but most also make some allusion to the opposition.
Nucks Misconduct's Grumpy Old Man
WAACH Blog/Podcast- The 38th best Canucks blog on the Interwebs
Eh....
….I think the last 55 minutes of last game could be described objectively as domination. Chicago dictated everything.
If it wasnt for Lu standing on his head, which the Chicago media HAS pointed out, the game would have been 7-2 by the end of the second.
Blackhawks bleed Red & White.
We are all Canucks...including Toews, Sharp, Keith, Seabrook, Brian Campbell...need I go on?
maybe
kane said he thought it was going to be an easy series after their game one loss.
that backhanded compliment qualifies as not cocky?

its not public what happened...
but it was serious enough for him to miss the last 5 games of the season to spend time with his father, and brouwer said that when his dad “woke up” which makes me think coma of some sort or something similar, that he yelled at his son to get back on the ice.

I think it's in the paper now
It was discussed during HNIC shortly as well. He had a blood clot and was in a coma. Troy flew out, missed the last 4 games of the regular season. Then his Dad woke up and told him to go back to Chicago because the playoffs were starting. He also had his Mom text Troy the other day to say he wasn’t hitting the corners hard enough lol.
Hope he’s back in good health soon – looks like he’s at least in good spirits though.

I work with someone who’s son played minor hockey with Brouwer. The parents still stay in touch, so one of the other parents told my co-worker that Troy’s dad had a brain hemorrhage, or something to that effect. Last I heard, his prognosis wasn’t too good.
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.

this would explain alot. as CNS said below he has been a shadow of himself as of late. That and being pinned on the 3rd and 4th line by Q hasn’t helped worth a shit
September 26, 2007 The day a Franchise was reborn.
cause/effect?
He’s been a -5 in the playoffs, a team worst, with limited minutes on the bottom lines. Maybe that’s why he’s there. Understandably, his heart just doesn’t seem to be in it. We all think Q has Brouwer in the dog house, but perhaps it’s the opposite. Maybe Q realizes the situation and is actually giving Brouwer a chance to play out of his funk while limiting the damage. Dunno..

Troy certainly has been a shadow of himself on the ice. Speaking as a hockey fan, and not a Hawks or Canucks fan, I would love to see him have a career night and pot a game winner for his dad.
On the other hand, I’d be quite fine with him taking a leave of absence and spending time with his father if things are as bad as implied. Win or lose, life goes on, but loved ones are irreplaceable.

Oh yes, my prediction..
Hmmmm. 4-2 Canucks, Hank GWG.
The Canucks should not underestimate the Hawks even though they have home ice. The Hawks will come at the Canucks with the same tenacity that the Canucks came at the Hawks in Game 1. They know its our building, and they will want to take the crowd out of it. They will push hard. The Canucks will simply have to play harder, get some energy from the hometown crowd (I’ll be watching the game at a friend’s place, so I can’t cheer them on personally at GM Place, though I wish I could), and ABOVE ALL ELSE:
WIN THE HOCKEY GAME.

just got reaccquainted about 18 months ago…they’re learning. They’re idiots, but still learning. SCH seriously has the best, and most honest, insightful coverage of the Hawks.
Should be a dandy tonight Nuckleheads (I mean that in an endearing way, seriously) ! Although I hope our hockey team stomps yours, I have nothing but respect for great hockey fans as yourselves.

The last game was more what we expected: tough, hard play with two fast, high scoring teams and goaltending that is top rank. Gotta respect the Hawks team as well as their fans… even if they are a pack of rampaging goons (spoken with love)!
I’m actually hoping this one goes seven, but if the ‘Nucks can pull off the win in five, it’ll be a sigh of relief.
A small part of me is hoping it goes 7 too
Just like when I golf, a masochistic part of me hopes to top 100. I like to get my money’s worth.

I’ve thought that Grabner’s looked pretty lost at times. Hansen tends to look responsible out there, and seems the more complete player. Hordichuk should not dress.
Hansen is not afraid to pummel someone and also takes alot of pummeling himself…makes sense for him to be in over grabner against our chippy opponent, to me.

Not sure any team would want the support of the Chicago Cubs and there “longest in professional sports championship drought.”
The Nashville Predators site, OtF, posted basically the same sign with “Good luck Preds” and they lost 3 in a row after that.

Nucks Misconduct's Grumpy Old Man

I think a lot of it depends on game plan
The nucks got to be a little peeved by their performance, and getting curb stomped for 55 minutes, on monday.
The blackhawks best be ready for the canucks to come out foaming at the mouth in front of their home town fans for the first 10 minutes…weather the storm, clear the net, chip pucks of the zone, maintain discipline and stay out of the box.
If the hawks do that, and take the wind out of vancouver’s sails, then mount the counter attack bobby lou will get blitzed. He’s been great this series, but for the last 40 minutes the hawks haven’t just been knocking at the door, they’ve been going at it with a battering ram.
plus there are two eventualities of this series that have not come to fruition yet.
at some point Luongo will have his 7 GAA stinker.
the canucks will get their turn in the penalty box at some point. they’ve more or less avoided it so far, but I doubt that continues indefinitely. Let’s see some more of that 16th ranked penalty kill please.
4-3 Blackhawks in overtime. Big Goal (Seabs)Biscuit with the OT winner.
And while Anahiem returns to the locker room, Todd Bertuzzi is cuffed and returns to the squad car.

"Curb stomped for 55 minutes"?
I saw a solid road game by the Canucks, and a great home game from the Hawks.
Also – keep battering Luongo. Those goalie interference calls are just around the corner.
Knights, Canucks, Dolphins, Jays and Raptors all the way.
The curb stomping to which i refer....
is the physicality of the game and not necessarily the scoreboard (although in the 3rd period the Canuck’s offense was MIA, even though they got more than one powerplay served up to them on a silver platter.
Brent Seabrook and Andrew Ladd could be found at any moment during Game 2 simply by tracing the trail of white helmets and sticks. Those two went through the canucks like bowling balls through pins (need i even mention how peeved and undisciplined Samuelsson gets when he gets tired of being hit, ask any SCUM fan).
the Sedins spent most of monday night on their cans or with their faces pressed up against the glass (so chicago fans could get a good look at just how ugly they really are). Look at the CORSI numbers. Bolland and Ladd ate their lunches. Bolland was a +7 and Ladd a +9. The Sedins were both -10 (CORSI).
that’s what i referred to as the aforementioned curb stomping.
Luongo had a good game, which probably prevented the hawks from turning the thing into a blowout during the 2nd half of 2nd period and all of the 3rd period, where prime scoring chances abounded for the blackhawks and Ryan Kesler’s SH bid was probably the only time the Canucks even sniffed the goal in the final 40 minutes. As i’ve said, the hawks keeping battering at the door, getting bodies to the net and launching the vulcanized rubber, the goals will come at some point, maybe not tonight, but its an eventuality.
And while Anahiem returns to the locker room, Todd Bertuzzi is cuffed and returns to the squad car.

I don’t think the Hawks were that physically dominant. They stepped it up, sure, which is what I think the Hawks needed to do to make it a competative series, but I still wouldn’t call it a curb-stomping. There were no Willie Mitchell on Johnathat Toews-like hits in the game.

As someone who watches the Hawks ...
That was about as physically dominant as they have been all year. Normally, the Hawks get outhit. It just isn’t their game – most of the time. IMO one of their biggest strengths is the ability to alter their style when necessary, often successfully.
Normally I wouldn’t put as much stake in hits during a series between two skilled teams, but for some reason the Nucks seem to wither when the Hawks get physical. Maybe it’s a psychological edge. Just because there wasn’t a highlight reel hit in the game doesn’t mean the Nucks didn’t take the brunt of it.
If the Nucks turn reactive and try to get chippy with the Hawks, I believe it will benefit the Hawks. Vancouver needs to take advantage when the Hawks are caught out of position going for the big hit. That will neutralize that aspect of the Hawks’ apparent game plan.

Yeah, that’s what sucks.;)
It’s the Black Keys, it should sound like The Big Come Up or nothing at all. Although their new stuff is heavily produced so you’ll hear all that nuance and fretting over individual notes. To be fair I do like one of the new songs from Brothers, and they’re both pretty talented. It should shine through regardless of venue, I just want a little grease on the strings, you know?
And you thought you'd get that at the commodore?
That place hasn’t been greasy in years and years. To be honest venue and all of that don’t really matter to me but acoustics do. I don’t care what band I am watching I want to be able to hear the show flawlessly. That’s why I don’t mind shows at the Queen E.

I did get it at the Commodore. So yes.
But some bands don’t feel right in some venues, for me. The Black Keys are famous enough now to play anywhere. Should be a good show regardless. But seeing them nearer to their inception playing the music they used to is something else entirely.
Love Queen E shows. Alicia Keys at the Orpheum was stellar mainly ‘cause of the acoustics. I hadn’t gone there for concerts other than the VSO, so I was pleasantly surprised.
I like The Commodore ’cause of their band line-up. The springboard floor is also forgiving for my feet.

An outright singer works for sure. As do larger bands. I saw the Foo Fighters acoustic tour there and it sounded great, even though the material was a bit flat.
I, sadly, saw Keith Urban
at the Orpheum and he is actually a pretty rocky type guy live. Great guitar player. And the sound was out of this world.

Yeah I think that’s the one. The fully acoustic tour. I know it sounded great because I also saw them twice at the… PACIFIC COLISEUM! The first time was all rock, the second time there was half and half, but both times it sounded like shit obviously. Still a blast, cause Dave knows how to work a crowd.
Coliseum is so bad
I have to say I think both the Orpheum and the Commodore, for different reasons, are top venues to see a show. The two best in Vancouver for indoor shows if you ask me. The Orpheum is like Vancouver’s Brixton Academy.

So our chicago office is following the Hawks naturally and I just got an email from one of our production guys about problems embedding a NHL video into a powerpoint presentation. My response?
My hunch is our network is blocking NHL videos. And you shouldn’t be trolling the blackhawks message board for dates with little boys. Just do what the players themselves do: abduct them.
The response was something similar to “go to hell Mike”.

I hope O’Brien realizes that all he’d better do is hit people on the boards, because shit after the whistle will kill us. If he does something stupid (ie. his entire repertoire) like answer to a shove after the whistle we’ll be in the shit. Defend your goalie and leave the other shit behind, as they have been. Likewise, Grabner and Hansen played well in game one (so scratching them is typical AV style) and putting Hordichuk in adds some evidence to the idea they’re leaving their faster lineup plan behind for a tougher one. It’s a real shame (if the changes turn out to be true).
Hopefully they can find a way to make it work.

Idea for Game Thread...
I’m listening to Team1040 and Pratt and Taylor are about to have Jim Robson on. They previewed Robson by noting that it is almost 28 years to the day that the “legend of the white towel” was born.
For those of you were weren’t born back then, it was the 1982 Campbell Conference Finals (the winner would go on to the Stanley Cup finals). Vancouver faced Chicago and Chicago hosted games 1 and 2. We won Game 1 on a Jim Nill goal in the 2nd overtime. Then Chicago came back and won Game 2. The officiating was so bad—in favour of the Hawks—that Roger Nielsen hoisted a white towel on a hockey stick as a means of protesting Bob Myers’ officiating. When the Canucks skated onto the ice in Pacific Coliseum for the start of Game 3, they were greeted by 16,000+ flag-waving maniacs, who helped propel Nielsen and the boys to victory in both home games. Vancouver would finish off the Hawks in Chicago in a brawl-filled Game 5 and advance to the first Stanley Cup finals’ appearance in their history.
sorry dude, but we all know the story. there was a “history lesson” post last week about the other times we’ve met the hawks in the playoffs, and that series was the big one.

that lesson was posted here
But hey, thanks anyway eastvanjoe. There’s always new people coming on here, and some of them may not have seen my original post before the series started. So it’s all good.

Sorry, I forgot about the history lesson post. That being said, it’s still surprising how many Canuck fans are ignorant about the provenance of the white towel phenomenon.
Oh, Willie Mitchell whale-watching outside of the False Creek condo.

I saw that while taking a bike ride around the seawall.
I then took it as an omen for a fellow whale. ( Orcas are cetaceans right? )
Lets go.

Well Nucks fans, this boy has to work this morning, so I will be trying to jump in and catch bits of the game while I am stuck in a factory somewhere in southern China. Team 1040 is the savior for days like that.
4-3 Nucks…2OT Burrows nets the winner off a rebound from an Erhoff blast.
Hold on to your hearts
2OT?
Kittens are going to be punted left and right if that’s the deal.
Have fun at work (just kidding).

I will take 2OT
as long as we win. Then I can watch a bunch of the game after my softball game.

4-1 Nucks, Samuelsson
Domination time. Who scores? Nostradamus texted me this morning with the names: Hank, Raymond, Samuelsson, and Burrows, not necessarily in that order.
Hey, he’s about 50% right, so odds are at least two of those prove true eh? XD
Chuck Norris has counted to infinity... twice.
Sean Z, regarding Andrew Alberts: "And of course credit goes to Alain Vigneault for sticking with this guy. When most of us wanted his nuts stapled to the bench."
Gotta ask....
wat did you guys think when Rypien tried to throw a shoulder into Buff and fell to the ice?
"Trying is the first step towards failure" Homer Simpson
Not much for me.
That was just a bigger guy seeing him coming and steadying himself for the hit.
I love Rypper, but that was more an exercise in comparable sizes than anything else.
Speaking of hitters, how about this stat…in the last game, Kyle Wellwood, all 5-10 and a buck eighty one, was credited with 4 hits in Chicago.
Thug? Thug with magic mittens?

Worst player on the ice
in game 2 Wellwood was horrible. Magic Mittens? Maybe. But he used them to pull food out of the oven more than he uses them to put points on the board.

Wow.
I am not surprised to hear your rating of Welly to be less than flattering my man. I am however, very impressed it took 3 minutes!
Good to see we are all in playoff form.
He wasn’t the only one in Game 2. That’s what happens in a loss.
The eating jokes are fun though still, right?

He wasn't the only one to have a bad game
no. But he was the worst.

With the icetime he was given, I believe Woody was the worst too. I think Grabner was a close second

Hey Joe Watson interview! He’s from my hometown. Looks like the Bruins might put a knife into the Flyers..
Starting to feel like this year
might be the year that chokers make a run. The Sharks and Bruins are flying. Maybe the Canucks can get in on it too.

5-3 Canucks, Raymond with the winner
Niemi will break down, and give up even more juicy, succulent rebounds then Game 1. Danny will score twice.
