Canucks End Flames' Season With A Bang

PrintAs in..BANG:
And Henrik Karlsson can complain about interference from Mason Raymond all he wants to but he's wrong.
It looked like the Flames were going to end their season on a high note. After a relatively even first period that ended 0-0 the Canucks continued taking penalties
in the 2nd period. 3 in a row to be exact, and 2 of which the Flames capitalized on to make it 2-0 after 2. Calgary outshot the Canucks 19-7 in the 2nd. They had the momentum. But the Canucks showed their dominant side in the 3rd. Alexandre Burrows tipped in a shot 2:00 in. The Canucks continued their relentless offence, often giving the Flames odd-man rushes the other way which were stopped by Cory Schneider. At the 11:05 mark the Sedins worked their magic with Ryan Kesler to provide one of the goals of the year:
On the power play! Wow! Beautiful!
Vancouver outshot Calgary 17-6 in the 3rd and carried their momentum into OT, where Christian Ehrhoff ended it, absolutely spoiling the Flames home closer.
- Aaron Rome looked fine on line 4. Actually, line 4 looked great all night.
- Too many fucking penalties. I'm not going to turd on the refs. The Canucks played far less disciplined than Calgary.
- I find it strange that Ehrhoff and Samuelsson man the points on the first power play unit while Salo and Edler are on the 2nd unit. That's a lot of firepower getting a lot less PP time. But who am I to doubt Alain Vigneault's strategy?
- Dan Murphy on Twitter: If I read lips correctly Iginla called Burrows chickensh** a couple times & Burrows told Iginla to have a nice summer. Iginla had dropped the gloves but Burr wanted nothing of it.
- Daniel Sedin gets 2 more assists and easily wins the Art Ross Trophy!
- Ehrhoff and Kesler led the Canucks with 6 shots each. Ehrhoff played the most: 25:37.
- Someone correctly stated on Twitter that Ehrhoff scored the Canucks' first and last goals of the regular season. 50 points for the mad German! Well done! A +19 too. For all the blunders he provides he more than makes up for it in offence.
- Ryan Kesler and Daniel Sedin lead the team in goals: 41 each. See this page for more Canucks greatness compared to other NHL'ers. Damn, Bieksa was a 0 +/- tonight so he doesn't catch Chara. 2nd place is impressive though.
- At some point, Higgins, Lapierre and Tambellini are going to have to cash in MORE. They do everything else right though.
- BOXSCORE
- FACEOFF REPORT
- ICE TRACKER
- HIGHLIGHTS
- ON TO THE PLAYOFFS! We will know our first round opponent by tomorrow afternoon.

PLAYOFFS!!!
WOOOOOO
And also,
how the fuck are we going to afford the drunk German next year?
He'll take a little less
Like the rest of the Blue/Green Borg. For the collective good.
Or, he can be the top point producer in Columbus or something.
Either/Or.
To me, this kind of thing, the beauty and livability of Vancouver is a huge advantage for us.

LOL
Love that guy.

That Sedinery was sick, but man am I ever glad to have Edler back. What a perfect pass and decision to head for the net. Pure hockey smarts right there.

The best part of that victory?
No injuries!
(Assuming Kesler is as OK as he said he was, I was worried there for a bit).

Stajan was the little tool there too
Got his stick in his feet, though it looked innocent.
His spear on Lapierre was less “innocent”
Way to earn that 3.5 mil on the 4th line, jackass. Flames get to pay you that…what, another 3 years?

Something for the Corey Perry crowd to explain to me
Daniel Sedin 41G 63A 104PTS +30
Corey Perry 50G 48A 98PTS +9
Daniel outscored Perry despite averaging 3:45ish per game less ice time. He also scored a goal every 24.3 shifts, to Perry’s 26.5.
Perry had a great season, but I like to think the league’s MVP should be someone with a better +/- than +9, regardless of what you think of the stat.

Sedin= Not Canadian
Perry= Canadian
Sedin=plays outside of a major US market
Perry= plays in a major US market
MVP = Most Valuable Player
“Valuable” : worth a great deal of money
Perry is worth more money to the NHL then Daniel Sedin

Devil's advocate
Because Corey Perry also plays on the penalty kill.
Much less o-zone starts.
ES goals is a lot better (but a goal is a goal, so I don’t understand that argument)
Being the player to push your team into the playoffs makes for a better MVP than being the player to push your team into a runaway Prez Trophy team.

points leader
and he would have had more if the Canucks had something to play for in the last two weeks of the season.
Perry can have the Hart, we’ll take the cup and Daniel will settle for the Conn Smythe trophy.

This is kind of funny
If the hawks win/lose in OT or regulation, the Preds finish ahead of the Yotes. If the Hawks win in a shootout, the Yotes finish ahead of the Preds.
Guess who's now on the leaderboard?

Coach's corner last night
Love how Cherry ignores the playoffs completely and talk about Toronto for the entire segment.
Mention the Torres suspension…………….No
Mention the Canadian teams who will make the playoffs………..NO
Rave about Nazem Kadri and how great he is ………..check
End with a push for Cory Perry for MVP……….check
Fuck you Cherry………..Check
Best I could find
People die people die people die people die go ahead sleep tight in your beds remember what the wise man said
Y'r welcome
I’ll keep looking for a better one.

Way to go Mo. Sure could use him on the 3rd line now…

Salo is pretty well known for having a rocket of a slap shot. I haven’t seen him use it much except for that one goal he scored this year. He must not be 100%. He probably never will be 100% but he just seems very reluctant to shoot and I think he plays his best when he’s peppering the defense/goalie with his howitzer shot.
Well I think
that may be a result of Blasthoff, Samuelsson, Edler and Juice hogging all the shooting :P
Win it for Manny.
