There Is No Curse In Entish, Elvish Or The Tongues Of Men....
Where to start? Oh that's easy.
Roberto Luongo. In a crucial Game 4, the Captain, regardless of the broken defensive play (Bieksa), lets in a softie right through the wickets 18 seconds in. Now, that might not seem like such a big deal because the score ended up being 2-2 after the first period, but why put your team down and take the crowd out of it that early? Lousy timing Lou. Aside from that, he didn't make any genius saves to help his team nor did his team do much to help him out.
Refereeing. I don't bag on refs all that often. I was already disillusioned with it after the first period. The marginal and completely blown calls abounded in Period 1. Well, really, it was 2 of the 5 calls in the opening frame I didn't like: the hooking call on Marian Hossa and the holding (?) call on Sami Salo on the one on one play that I thought he did a fine job on. The Canucks did not capitalize on the Hossa penalty but the Hawks did on Salo's early in the second period to make it 3-2 aaaannnnnndddd...they never looked back after that. There is no room for those weak calls.
No "I" in "Team", but there is a "ME". I am now sure that there is only air between Shane O'Brien's ears. The 2 consecutive cross-checking calls on SOB in period 1 were selfish as hell. Both times he cross-checked Dustin Byfuglien. Way to let Buffy win the mental war once again. I like how Mike Milbury suggested that if SOB is going to take that penalty that maybe he should finish the job. If this was the old days, that's what SOB would have done. Jonathan Toews made him pay for his second infraction. Alain Vigneault made O'Brien pay by benching him. SOB only played 9:38 last night. But he wasn't alone in buffoonery. Daniel Sedin took 2 consecutive penalties in the second period and GASP! the Hawks scored on both of those power plays! That made the score 5-2. That also made the Canucks' penalty look like ass all over again. Deja Vu! The Hawks went 3 for 8 on the night.
I miss Willie Mitchell. At least he'd be a better presence in front of the net than say...Andrew Alberts. Willie vs Buff would be more fun to watch.
Where do the Canucks go from here? I would suggest benching Shane O'Brien and playing Aaron Rome. I would also suggest a frontal lobotomy for the rest of the team. This type of team meltdown is synonymous with their history and it's frustrating. This team was supposed to have leadership and character under Mike Gillis' regime. None of that is present.
Can the Canucks come back from a 3-1 series deficit? Yes they can. And no they can't. Depends on your mentality and level of faith. It depends on the Canucks doing nearly a 180 in Game 5 for starters. It's not very likely to happen. Chicago currently has the mental and physical advantage. They shit the bed in game 1 and learned from their mistakes. They are playing like a team of destiny. They are the better team. But that being said, it can change with a Canucks win in game 5.
BOXSCORE AND HIGHLIGHTS.
Alain Vigneault summed it up very well in his post game interview. He believes his team is ready for this moment but obviously their actions are proving him wrong. He said Roberto Luongo is the second best goaltender on the ice and he has to be and will be better.
TIME TO CUE LUONGO'S TEARS -Steve Rosenbloom of the Chicago Tribune.
Wack stat: The Canucks won 41 faceoff draws and lost only 28.
-2 assists and 6 shots for Patrick Kane.
-3 goals and 2 assists for Johnny Toews. Unreal. Talk about a captain leading his team.
-Patrick Sharp, who had been quiet offensively this series, exploded with 1 goal and 3 assists.
-4 points combined for the Sedins, but also a combined -1.
-1 goal and 8 assists for Ryan Kesler in the playoffs. 3 assists in the Chicago series. We need some goals from him. We need goals from a lot of different people.

The Blackhawks seem to be the team Gillis was hoping the Canucks would become. The glass is still half full but the half seems to be getting smaller.
One moment in time sticks out to me (among many). Kesler had a 2 on 1 (in a previous game) with Edler, who seemed wide open for a good shot. It seemed as though Kes didn’t even see Edler, he was so determined to shoot. One of many instances in Kes’s career that I have seen little ice vision on his part. I realize that he’s no worse than any other Canuck this series and better than some, but that moment in time seemed to confirm to me that he’s overrated offensively. I still like the guy but we need better offensive players than that. Hoping Hodgson develops into the leader and player Toews is.
The Hawks are the team pretty much everyone would like to become. The only saving grace is that some of their depth is gonna have to go away soon enough.

Soon enough meaning after the playoffs. If I’m remembering right, they’re already about $800K over the cap for next year, and only have 14 players signed.

Canucks Fans: This series is far from over. If your team takes the right approach to the game, they can pull it out, then win Game 6, and we all know Game 7 is the ultimate up for grabs instance.
Your team needs to stop with all this silly goon crap. And now. The Canucks have all the skill in the world and yet the entire team got taken off its game because of 1 man. Your Captain needs to lead by example, not blaming everyone but himself. IMO, Kesler needs to wear the C on that squad.
Last thing, that asshat Milbury said that SOB should have killed Buff if he is going to cross check like that and a great many bloodthirsty Van fans agreed with that sentiment. Some guy even said that it would be okay if the Nucks didn’t win the game, but injured the Hawks enough so that the Sharks would beat them easier. What the hell kind of mentality is that? That is why the Canucks as a team and as a fanbase are quickly drawing the ire of the hockey world.
Leave that stuff at home and compete like the talented team you have. Things like that only help to remind everyone of the support that the Criminal got from your city. The most heinous act ever committed in hockey. Let’s leave the knuckle dragging at home. Good luck to you guys, see in you at Game 5.
" Luongo...
checks under his bed every night to make sure Byfuglien isn’t there." - SteveFrench
I agr..WHAT? Canucks fans agreeing with Milbury has nothing to do with the perception. In the heat of the moment I agreed too. And if we had a guy wreaking havoc on your goalie and successfully getting into the heads of your team AND we were kicking your ass 3 games to 1 you might agree with his assessment as well. This isn’t ballet. I wish harm on Byfuglien. I wish somebody would crank him hard into the boards and injure him. That’s the Scott Stevens coming out in me. I like old school hockey. Milbury is old school. In a sense he was right. If SOB was going to crosscheck Buffy like that he may as well have tried to hurt him more. He’s going to the box anyways.
But don’t buy into this Canucks fans BS. Like I said, every team out there has fans that do or say what we do. The media just happens to be painting us with an evil paintbrush at the moment.

milbury may be old school
but Buff is a BIG BOY to try to move, much less hurt. And I honestly feel like your energy would be better spent elsewhere. Trying to hurt someone just seems like poor focus when there are several other things that could use fixing.

I don’t think the intent to injure bullshit has a place in this game anymore. Play straight up, don’t try to injure someone because you can’t beat them. That’s FUCKING GUTLESS.

Can they come back? Yes they can.
Is it likely? No it is not. Quite the opposite.
This team is not built for the playoffs. It lacks grit and composure. It is based on finesse, which works great in the regular season, but useless after that.
The problem I see is that if the Canucks win the next two, and then lose game seven, nothing is going to change in the post-season. Everybody will say “we almost made it if only ….(insert any shitty excuse you want)”. They will get a few marginal players and next year the same shit will happen in the playoffs.
On the other hand, if they lose tomorrow in Chicago, this series will go down as an humiliation and embarrassment. From the coach to the goalie, they will look like an weak, spineless, incompetent bunch. Gillis and the owners will be forced to take a hard look at the whole team and make some serious changes.
So, as a Canucks fan, and in the hope that this team will be greatly improved next season, I want the Canucks to be blown out tomorrow (another seven goal meltdown will do just fine). I want to see them embarrassed and humiliated the third time in a row.
And I would love to see Byfuglien score a couple more.
Sorry guys to sound so perversely S&M, but I don’t want to see another “great” season with the exact same team next hear. This team is a few bold moves away from being a contender, and I want to see those moves to happen.

I want to see the hotheads gone (O’Brien, Bieksa…..no, not Burrows, he is the exception), I want to see the dead-weight gone (Demo, Bernier, not sure about Woody, but mabe), and I would like to see Cory Schleider be given 25 games to play, so that he can develop into a fine goalie.
Beyond that, any other trade goes, if it can make an impact.
Los Angeles, CA
yeah i agree get rid of bieksa, o’brien, willie mitchell (those concussion injuries r hard to shake) and demo, resign raymond, hansen, ryan johnson and wellwood, trade schneider for a d-man or d prospect (or a couple draft picks).
also target hamhuis or volchenkov in the FA market (though i get the feeling anton will be pricey), but hamhuis is a good BC boy and would fit in well on that blueline for the right price.
If Hodgson is going to play next year then we should cut Wellwood loose. He’s a likeable guy but how often does he actually produce? And I agree with Attila’s point about giving Schneider 25 games next year, it would help develop him into a better goalie and would take some of the burden off Reboundo Luongo.

Silver lining?
As you mentioned, AVs post-game was much better last night. Very poor job getting his team mentally ready for game 4. I expect the Nucks to go back to dancing’ with what brung ’em tomorrow night.
4 goals and a couple posts last night too.
Gentlemen! I have invented...this thing!
Good piece. The only thing I disagree with is to blow up the team.
I see this team as a Ferrari in top condition, that has a few flat tires and missing sparkplugs. The point being that it has great qualities, and high potential, but there are a few missing pieces that make the car totally useless. One of them is Luongo’s captancy, although that is not the most glaring problem. But I hope the management sees how ridiculous this is. When your leader finds a hundred ways to blame others, and not himself, he has no business to be a leader.
Los Angeles, CA
I think some focus this offseason should be on building a team that can beat the Blackhawks. They are only getting better so if the Canucks want to compete for a Cup in the next few years the road there will likely go through Chicago.
That said this team is not in terrible shape. They have a lot of good pieces and some players that should be pushing their way into the NHL soon. Focus has to be on the defense. It could definitely get younger and tougher. Guys like O’Brien and Bieksa I don’t think are lost causes but have been asked to play way larger roles than they are capable of.
Chicago is getting worse.
They can’t resign everyone, and won’t be getting better. This is supposed to be their year, thats is why they picked up Hossa and Kopecky. Canucks are getting better. They have room on the cap and certain free-loaders/shitty players (SOB, Demo, Wellfed less so) are coming off the books so Vancouver should be making a deep run soon.
SOB and Juice are lost causes.

The supporting cast of Versteeg and Buff are what killed the Canucks.
For the regular season they wont be important but for the playoffs they are.
This is why I miss Trevor Linden more so during the playoffs, because when the first/second lines were getting shut down, Trev would emerge much like Versteeg and Buff have.

Regarding the series outlook...
I said this to a friend during the Olympics when everyone was flipping their shit after the loss to the US:
I’ll worry when we lose one of the next 3 games. (In that case it was 4, but whatever).
So I’ll stick to that. Yes, it does look bleak, but maybe they’ll right the ship before it falls ass first off the cliff

I don’t think they’ll come back. Team doesn’t want it, NHL doesn’t want it.
Team needs a major reworking in the offseason and it’ll require some serious leaps of faith from Gillis and confidence in young guys (like Hodgson) from Vigneault. And I’m not saying test Luongo on the market, I’m just saying…
I hate Chicago, and man do a lot of their fans troll, but they’re a tough contender for the Cup. Unfortunately little shits like Kane may get their hands on it in the process. Good luck to those of their fans with class and humility. You guys have a lot of long-term talent.
Blaming Bieksa for that first goal
shows you are letting your bias towards the player influence your judgment. You don’t like him so it was his fault. Even though clearly it wasn’t.

playoff reffing it ain't
I don’t see any reason why you can’t rag on the refs. All of the east series have real playoff reffing, like the old days. The purpose of all the rule changes was to speed up the game and get rid of the goonery. If you look around the league it has happened already, the Brash’s and Laraque’s are gone. You now have teams for the most full of talent at least 3 lines deep. For godsakes let them play. More five on five is much more entertaining. Let’s see some real playoff hockey.
Call me biased or whatever, but taking the rhythm out of the game is a killer for the team getting punished (i.e. the Canucks) and it takes a good 2-3 mins to get the lines back together and running at full speed. Our 6+ penalties against per game means we are out of the game for 30 mins+ or half the freaking game. And to take some of the bias out of this, b/c of the ticky tack calls against the nucks, the refs are forced by some inner feeling of guilt to call equally worse penalties on the opposition (i.e. Hossa). This makes things look even worse. My guess is the league has their eye on this series and has told the refs to not let things escalate out of control. But frankly, things won’t if you let two evenly matched teams go back and forth for 60 mins. Call the high-sticks, REAL slashes, etc, but forget about the Raymond, Salo, Alberts, and Hossa penalties. Can you no longer play defense? When you’re side-by-side it’s a push not a hold.
My rant is finished. To reply to a couple other comments here. The only player I would be fine seeing shipped out is Demo. I know Hodgson is in as 3rd line centre next year, so why not Wellwood on the 4th line. I seem to remember some pretty good Detroit teams with a 4th line of Maltby-Draper-McCarty. You don’t need goons here anymore. Bieksa’s not as bad as he’s being played out to be, remember he has been out for about half a season each of the last two. We’ll see how Mitchell’s head comes along.

What bugs me about all the ’they’re fukt’ votes is that they’re based on 4 games. The canucks have shown this season that they should be able to win this series if they had a bit more heart. They’ve had some awful games this week…bad play, no discipline, and everyone says they’re done. Remember last season when they lost like 503894 games in a row? They turned it around then, and they have the ability to now. The question is whether they have the heart. That’s got to be found individually. I will say if the Hawks do win this series, the better team won, and I have no problem cheering on the hawks further on as I think they’re a great team. But I still believe in the hometown boys. ;)

Well, ok, I’m not too worried about what people who’ve never met me think of me based on some (usually highly emotionally) written comments in a hockey thread. I’m sure many people here write with much less self censorship than they’d use in person for either (in my case often failed) humor’s sake or because sometimes it’s good to vent in a mostly anonymous environment. I’m not afraid to disagree with anyone here or to state my opinion rawly and if someone gets offended, well that was probably not my intention. I would expect the same from everyone else here, and most are happy to push back. It’s cool. You’re welcome to your opinion of me, but good or bad it’s probably somewhat wrong if it’s based on this place alone. So there. :P
