Heartbreaking. Blackhawks 4 Canucks 3. Series Tied 3-3.

PrintRyan Kesler wasn't kidding. He said the Canucks would treat this game like a game 7 and they did just that. What a terrific effort. That makes this loss even tougher to swallow. What happened?
The Canucks blew THREE 1-goal leads!
On Chicago's first goal, Schneider played the puck to Dan Hamhuis who had 2 Hawks coming at him. Hammer's nonchalant clearing attempt went off Dave Bolland's leg (who then obliterated Hammer), off the side of the goal and right out front to Bryan Bickell who had no problem scoring on an unprepared Ginger to make it 1-1. The 2nd Hawks' goal was either a communication breakdown between Schneider and his D or just a flat-out mistake by the Canucks' goaltender. He played the puck behind the net right onto the stick of Patrick Kane, who made a perfect pass out front to Dave Bolland who scored on a scrambling Schneider to make it 2-2. The Canucks then get a gritty 3-2 goal from Kevin Bieksa early in the 3rd period. Not even 2 minutes later Frolik gets behind the Canucks' D to get a breakaway chance. Hamhuis is chasing
Frolik and goes for the sweep check and ends up tripping him. Penalty shot. Watch that sweep check in the highlights. Buttlick goes down before Hammer even makes any contact. A dive. The diving wonder scores on his penalty shot attempt to make it 3-3 and Schneider cramps up badly, exiting the game.
Adversity! FUCK!
Bring on the Lou. Adversity again. But the Canucks never faltered. They kept attacking, coming within a goal post of winning it. UGHHH. Vancouver outshot the Hawks 10-3 in the 3rd period. They were trying to end it. 10-3! Any solid chance was put off the post or stopped by Corey Crawford. Even in overtime the Canucks kept pressing. The shots were 12-11 Canucks. No glorious chances there if I recall correctly. Despite the Canucks' pressure the Hawks didn't allow them much except from the outside. Suddenly Marianne Hossa gets to have his way in the offensive zone, after being a non factor most of the night. He does a circle, puts it to Hjalmarsson at the point who rifles it at the net. I think Ben Smith tipped it a bit, but Luongo makes a huge blocker save. The rebound comes right out to Smith who, while falling forward, backhands a shot past Luongo, who had also fallen forward. Why was he falling forward like that uncontrollably I don't know. But many Canucks fans are not going to let him hear the end of it I'm sure.
The Bad
-Lack of finish. Controlling that much of the game and still losing is an unfortunate event.
-Alain Vigneault chose to ride the living hell out of his top 2 lines. Henrik: 25:14. Dank: 25:29. Burrows: 26:48. Kesler: 29:32 (jeezus). Raymond: 22:48. Now look at some of the other ice times: Hodgson: 7:11. Really? Besides his unfortunate delay of game penalty I thought he looked pretty good. Higgins: 17:45. Hansen: 17:39. Torres: 6:16. More here. Christ, Bieksa played 36:33, the most of any player out there. The Hawks, as you can see in the boxscore, rolled their 4 lines more than Vancouver did.
-The Canucks are not commenting on what is wrong with Sami Salo, who left in the 3rd period after being hit, I believe.
-A combined -6 for the Sedins/Samuelsson. Ehrhoff was a -2 as well. Only Jonathan Toews was a -2 for Chicago.
-Fucking reffing was out to lunch. Missed high stick on Dank. Not so sure about that missed delay of game penalty. Missed Hawk slashing calls. Yeah they let some Canucks errors go too but this seemed lopsided. Who provided that headshot to Bieksa behind the net??? WTF. If you call the Torres hit on Seabrook play you call that one for god's sakes.
The Good
-Vancouver's penalty kill was awesome in this game. Awesome. They even killed a long 5 on 3 in the 2nd period.
-The sustained pressure. They played like they wanted to win. Another schizophrenic turn from out schiz team. A good one though.
-Canucks clogged up the middle. Finally! They also won a ton of battles for the puck with their work ethic.
-Alexandre Burrows was silent on the scoresheet in this series until tonight. He had a goal and an assist.
-Burrows, Raymond and Bieksa were all a +2. Only Dave Bolland was a +2 for Chicago.
-I believe I saw a Burrows-Kesler-Raymond 2nd line as the game went on and I liked it. Let Hodgson anchor the 3rd line. Just do it.
The Conclusion
-I had said in the game preview that I would feel optimistic if the Canucks would put out a solid effort in Game 6 and lost in a close one. I still feel that way. This is a deflating loss no doubt. But if they put out the same effort in Game 7 on home ice I think they can pull off a win.
-To all the Luongo bashers:

I am disappointed too. I do think its a little harsh to say Hamhuis’s clear on the Bickell goal was “nonchalant”. he has less then 1/2 a damn second before getting obliterated. I
blame the suicide pass from his goalie. But thats just me.

Schneider starts game 7
You heard it here first.

Team performed better in front of Schneider than they did Luongo in the two games prior. Not necessarily cause and effect, but food for thought. At the very least it’s not an idea to laugh at given the circumstances of his game 6 start. If it was in fact a performance-based decision to start Cory (as the media is now saying it is) and it was just a cramp in Cory’s leg, what has changed since 4:30 today?

He absolutely did. But do people honestly think that we should be switching back and forth between goalies, or that Schneider lost the game? I mean, those are both pretty stupid opinions.

Which is not to say that I know whether or not Luongo will slot in, but anyone who thinks that the possibility of Cory starting is a joke must be joking.

"Because you are the most arrogant poster I have ever encountered. And I knew yoata pretty well. I hate arrogance."
true, he might start
but based on the series so far, I don’t see how we are better off with him.
Schneider didn’t “lose” us the game and definitely played well when the rest of the team were being dumbasses, but he also made some pretty dumb moves which cost us big time, meaning his presence was a wash. Thus I don’t see how you justify Schneider over Luongo.

Uh, Schneider got injured and was tied when it happened. He also made more saves in the time he played than Crawford did.
I think you just lost the game.

"Because you are the most arrogant poster I have ever encountered. And I knew yoata pretty well. I hate arrogance."
Ok can you honestly tell me if luongo made those mistakes and wasnt able to save that penalty shot to keep the lead you would not be all over him. Saying omg luongo cant handle the pressure, luongo sucks, luongo cant play the hawks. HE IS A CHOKER! But when schneider does it and then bails on the team with cramps, you say he played a good game because he made more saves then the opposing goalie. give me a fucking break.
by CanuckJunkie on Apr 25, 2011 2:17 AM PDT up reply actions
This post is retarded on a number of levels so what I’ll do is say this: you have no idea what I’d say if Luongo made the mistakes Schneider did so knock it off and put the “give me a fucking break” shit to bed.
Back to the topic at hand. What we saw from Schneider was a tie game after two periods, and an “injury” on a penalty shot, which is a difficult save to make at the best of times. We also saw him make two mistakes, in conjunction with his defense, to allow two goals. If Luongo in games 4 and 5 (10 goals against) was bad enough to sit for game 6, how is pulling a probably healthy Schneider (3 goals in 70% of a game) and putting Luongo back in net the only possibility? Why is Schneider back in net laughable? I’m giving you logic here, send it back.
Nucks Misconduct's Prophet of the KesLORD and Senior Meme Correspondent
"Because you are the most arrogant poster I have ever encountered. And I knew yoata pretty well. I hate arrogance."
sure there is always a possibility of schneider starting. heck there is a possibility of schneider starting every game from now on and luongo never starts again for the canucks.
The reason i think it is laughable and retarded that schneider starts game 7 is because i think he shouldnt have started game 6. I dont think luongo has a problem playing the hawks and i dont think you can put any blame on luongo for games 4 and 5. If you watched those games you could have put any goalie in net for those games and it would have been the same result give or take a goal. Do you think the goalie from games 1, 3 and the regular season no longer exists?
I would rather put my faith and the series in my star goalie with years of exp than a goalie with 1 year of “back up” exp.

I think this is it. Although I don’t think it’s “laughable” to start him, I think Luongo is definitely the superior choice after last night.
If Schneider had played lights out and shut out the Hawks, despite the Canucks looking like they did during games 4 and 5, then I think we would have had a different tune. But I’ll be honest, the different last night was not the goaltending. As I said before, it doesn’t really matter too much who is in net, the epic fails were a result of the team’s play and not any one guy.
<3 Boobies!
#WinitForManny
I hate goaltending controversies as much as just about anything. Wanted to get that out before I bothered to say anything on this thread.
But I can see a bit of a conundrum for the coaches here in terms of who starts Gm 7. Schneider didn’t shut out the Hawks, no, but one could argue that the goals he allowed, with the exception of the penalty shot, were not “goaltending” problems. That he stopped the shots that he was in his net for (regardless of the reasons he was or wasn’t in position).
I get that “goaltending” encompasses everything that a goalie has to do, and that saying the first two goals don’t happen if he stays in his net doesn’t absolve him of responsibility for them any more than saying that if defensive lapses in front of Luongo don’t happen well he doesn’t get scored on as much either. I’m just saying that one could get pretty twisted up in the arguments either way.
I think Lu will get the call though, and I agree with that if it happens.
I agree
with basically everything you said, I guess my point is that Schneider didn’t show up and prove that Lu has been awful. He showed that the number of goals let in by the goaltender has a relationship with how well a team plays in front of him.
Schneider did exactly what I thought he would. He played well behind a motivated team, making a few rookie mistakes, though they were a bit more costly than I would have liked.

#WinitForManny
who starts
Isn’t who starts at goalie for the Canucks a pretty simple decision?
AV goes into the Medic’s room and asks the Dr. which goalie is the healthiest? Dr. says “that guy.” So AV says “that guy” is my starting goalie?
that could have been
the decision making process. Who knows. While I happen to disagree with the decision to start Schneider, I specifically was clarifying my earlier point about what the experience last night showed us, all things being equal (i.e. Lu isn’t hurt)

The reason i think it is laughable and retarded that schneider starts game 7 is because i think he shouldnt have started game 6.
And that, my friend, is exactly why it isn’t laughable. Never once did I say anything about blaming Luongo for games 4 and 5.

How about

"Things may come to those who wait, but only what’s left behind by those who hustle."
Hawks fan that was at the game tonite
Some quick thought from it:
The bickel hit non call was bad. The missed high stick was worse. On the bright side, that was the moment that the Sedins decided they wanted this game. You could see it in their eyes.
Bieksa not being one of the stars tonight was criminal. The hairpuller scored on a gift, but was really not too noticable ouside of that
Chicago got lucky because they beat a team tonight that had a better night but just couldn’t finish.
The refs were bad. Both ways, but the penalties that were not called on Chicago were othe more noticeable variety. The refs let a lot of holding, interference, and a few too many men calls go. Where as one of the hawks might see a detention slip for game 7 had the Ref not had his head lodged in his ass. Hitting zone be damned.
Bad luck for luongo on the winner. Made a great save on the redirect, only to leave the puck in the slot for a rebound.
My final thought is this: that Vancouver team that came out tonite was awesome. If they show up Tuesday, all will end well for you. It was a great game and the best players for both teams played alot and pretty well. It’s a shame every game isn’t like that one. Instead we can all get a nap in when Mon/Bos play next. That series is boring as a ten hour hospital visit to a coma patient.

Great all around effort. I hope the third period lines are the starting line up for Game 7. A lot of press, no finish, but I think it was a time thing more than anything. Keep them rolling like this and good things are bound to happen:

-I too don’t like how little the bottom 2 lines played throughout the game. We gotta let all 4 roll for game 7. Game 7, at home, will be effin awesome. There’s no way the Sedin’s will no show for that one. The second round is just out of reach, and it does like us, it’s just playing hard to get:

Why was he falling forward like that uncontrollably I don’t know. But many Canucks fans are not going to let him hear the end of it I’m sure
I think the shot was tipped higher than it was originally headed so Lui had to compensate by stretching up further than he would’ve liked, hence the loss of balance and the subsequent falling forward leaving him vulnerable to that rebound goal. He still made a heckuva save on that tip – just unfortunate Daniel couldn’t pick up his check and prevent Smith from scoring.

I blame him 0.000000
For that goal. great save.
Luongo haters can blow me. Fantastic reaction save. People have no idea how fast that shot gets there ( because it gets there plenty fast even with shit ass pick up players shooting at you like me occasionally )
…coming from the point at over 90 MPH, and then tipped, the reaction time is pretty amazing actually.

Hawks fan here...
Whew, what a game… What a series…
Nice recap, only thing is, Afroliker didn’t dive… He stepped on the stick on Hamhuis and went down. That’s why it looked like he went down with no contact.
I’m off to see my cardiac specialist… Take care ’Nucks fans.
God damn
I just watched that “penalty shot” call. He was totally going down before Hammer even touched him. Fuck

To be fair
In real time I reckon it would have looked pretty blatant to the refs

It's obviously a conspiracy
Yeah, OK so Frolik takes a dive, blah, blah, blah. But the Sedins doing the flopperoos all over the crease when a fly buzzes their helmets is really just hard, tough – nosed hockey. Of course the bounces didn’t go your way, and yes, they outplayed the hawks during the 3rd and overtime. If they play that way in Game 7 they win the series, period. They never should have found themselves in this position, and you know it – the more excuses given for this chain of events the more opportunites you’re giving your team to blow the whole shebang. When you get the champion down, you go for the kill, you DO NOT let your foot off the accelerator. The hawks have played inspirational hockey, but this should not have gone to game 7 – other than this post, I’ve yet to hear or read anything elsewhere that suggests any other conclusion.
No one is saying conspiracy
People are just saying the reffing is inconsistent. Missing obvious calls, calling weak ones. Both ways.
And no one here is blaming anything BUT this team for the bedshitting in games 4 and 5
"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!"
"You can't come in my kitchen, kick my dog, and take a box full of ballpoints! Your ass must be crazy!"
Also just for the record
There was a lot of complaining about the reffing from the Hawks side after the first couple games – and StanBow went to talk to the head ref as well.
So let’s just say this series has had…less than desirable officiating in general
"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!"
"You can't come in my kitchen, kick my dog, and take a box full of ballpoints! Your ass must be crazy!"

Refs
Whatever, I guess. I’ll take it at this point. They at least aren’t calling, or at least didn’t call, a million penalties like the parade in game 5 that really screwed things up at the beginning of that game. Not appreciating that there is a pretty lopsided tilt to the penalties called, but if the refs were enforcing the letter of the law, we probably could have seen a number of obstruction calls on our D holding up Blackhawks coming into the attacking zone, particularly in the 3rd. I was actually waiting for them to call one, but thankfully it didin’t come.
First several times I saw the Frolik dive, I thought it was a complete and total dive, but I do see the step on the stick on further review. That said, he was totally setting himself up for the call as soon as he felt any pressure there. Bugs the hell out of me.
Canucks have done a terrific job so far of ignoring the officiating deficiencies. Much better character than their yappy Crawford years at least.
True, the Canucks let up
and several us have been saying it all along. Even last night, they should have scored more but seemed to just grip their sticks a little too tight.
But we are also frustrated that we can’t catch a break in the last three games, must like I am sure you guys were in games 1-3. Some of those non-calls were completely blatant, in front of referees. So no, no conspiracy, but especially maddening when we can’t buy a PP, despite a few weak calls against us which evened the game.

Pardon the profanity
(MN Wild Fan and Burrows Fanatic here)
What a horseshit fucking game, I agree with Ty Conklin about wanting the NHL to make it a LITTTTTTLE less obvious that they favor Chicago. I mean Frolik tries to do the splits on that breakaway and falls down, luckily stepping on Hamhuis’ stick. Oh Gee he fell, MUST HAVE BEEN A TRIP RIGHT GARY? SHOULD I CALL THE TRIP?!?
And then the second gigantic failure of a call was the no call on Bickell (or whoever the hell) Raffi Torres’d Bieksa in the Thunderdome. If you give Torres a 2 for that (and maybe 5 and a suspsension according to Hawks sympathizers) then you damn well better give those fucks a 2 minute penalty for the EXACT SAME HIT, an OT PP with the Brain Eaters and the crew running amok, good chance the series ends (not a guarantee, but pretty close)
I don’t think there is an outright conspiracy to screw Vancouver or anything, but I def. can see a scenario where Refs are encouraged to support Chicago in a close call. In either event, whether that is true or not they completely blew those two utterly game changing calls and completely got them wrong. Just needed to vent about that Mickey Mouse refereeing that has extended this series in such a bullshit way

Well Yeah, every team gets its breaks I am sure
But those two instances were intensely important calls that were blown very hard. The Penalty Shot is mind boggling and with the way the headshot issue has inundated the league and media (not to mention the context of the Torres hit) how do you not call a penalty?
And now people are calling it the “Game 6 miracle” and all of this, pretty sickening
