Canucks Drown Sharks At The Rog And Take 2-0 Series Lead: Thanks Ben Eager

First things first. The Sharks are 3 for 4 on the power play in this series and the Canucks will need to remedy that quick. Loose play on Logan Couture's PP goal as he blew by a Canucks D on the rush for the 1-0 goal. And then just a bad goal let in by Roberto Luongo on Patrick Marleau's stuff-in. I've seen worse. Lou was trying to cover a loose puck but Marleau got his stick on it. The rest?
- All Canucks, baby! But a what a mad, mad game.
- Thanks to Ben Eager for wrecking the Sharks' chance to win. When Kevin Bieksa fought Patrick Marleau a lot of anger ensued on the Sharks' bench.
Well geez, from that replay I think it's pretty obvious that it was intentional boarding. Eager got 2 minutes for that. 2 minutes!! Maybe if Dank doesn't jump right back up afterwards Eager gets ejected. Screw it. Dank had a bloody nose and didn't give the ape the gratitude. The Canucks failed to capitalize on the ensuing power play to start the 3rd but hey: about 7:00 into the final frame Eager takes an idiotic tripping penalty and this time Chris Higgins buries one to make it 4-2. Then the wheels fell off for San Jose. 4 minutes later the Sharks take a too many men penalty and Daniel Sedin scores his second power play goal of the night. 5-2.
Back to Eager Beaver. With the score 7-2 Canucks the moron scores a goal to make it 7-3. What does he do? He stands over Roberto Luongo and chirps at him relentlessly. Ian White and Joe Pavelski try to pull him away but he persists. What is this? An out-of-control buffoon who isn't being a team player. Why did Todd McLellan play Eager so much in the 3rd period? He rewarded a jackass for costing his team the game. I suppose he was also trying to get Eager to get under the Canucks' skin. I don't think he succeeded. Nice work, Todd.
- The Sharks did execute their game plan of dumping the puck in and smacking the Canucks' D (mostly Alex Edler). But the Canucks absorbed the hits and smartly played the puck out regardless.
- For now, the Sharks cannot contain the Canucks' speed.
- Looks like the Canucks went 3-for 6 on the power play. Hey Danny Boyle! Where did your bitching get you? Oh right, a cross checking call on Alexandre Burrows while Dany Heatley clearly embellished the play to get the call. Bravo! 1 goal for your griping while your team caved.
- 3 points each for Henrik Sedin, Chris Higgins and Dan Hamhuis.
- A Gordie Howe hat trick for Kevin Bieksa: a fight, a goal and an assist. Unreal. He is a mighty factor in this series. Kudos to Chris Higgins for sitting on the rail, waiting to get on the ice for a line change, waving his stick madly at Hamhuis to put the puck his way. Hammer obliged, Higgins jumped on the ice, took the pass and fed the puck to Bieksa, who scores on a breakaway of all things. To quote Temujin: Eager had a Bertuzzi hat trick: a meaningless goal, a stupid penalty, and another stupid penalty.
- The Sedins on the power play..WOW. Ownership. Only Sedin with a point 5 on 5 was Hank, who assisted on..wait for it...AARON ROME'S first ever playoff goal.
- Douglas Murray and Devin Setoguchi were each a -3. Niclas Wallin (I like this guy) actually finished a +1.
- Line 3 playing 5 on 5..Oh hell yes! San Jose's 3rd line has disappeared. Reminds me of what happened to Nashville (so far).
- Oh, about the picture at the top of the post...have you ever seen this at an NHL game? Was there a full moon out tonight? Screw the Green Men! Best tweet of that occurrence: @gutsmctavish24: Thought the twins were good along the glass tonight . The Province has more on this. NSFW footage here. Or here.
- This is just my scattered review of the game. What a messed up game with an excellent result. Can the Sharks recover from this? Is Ben Eager going to play another game in this series? Are we going to witness another Canucks PK fail like we saw in the Kings series last year? Oh please no.
- Is this series red hot now or what?

The Sharks PP is 100% effective and they started the sharper team (for about 5-7 minutes). Both of those will only get worse from home, but the Canucks have looked so good in the past four or five third periods that they’re resurrecting their cardiac kids days. Can’t count ’em out.

Some Sharks fan will try to minimize it, but winning the opening two at home is a big deal. You’re taking a 2-0 lead (and all the confidence that comes with it) into the Shark Tank, where, if you can steal a game, you’ll have three chances to close out the series, two of which at home.

Good recap
Even if it made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
Agreed about Eager’s boarding being five minutes. I noticed AV kept his top power play unit on the ice late in the third and think there has to be a direct connection to Eager’s penalty fest tonight. Good for him to send a message that way if that was actually the case.

I think Craig Simpson mentioned that there was some gamesmanship going on between the coaches.
I remember one other time during the season where AV did something similar. Otherwise, every single time the ’Nucks have been on a late power play and the game was in hand, the 3rd of 4th line has started and/or finished the power play.

That’s how I interpreted it. I think if you don’t see Eager standing over Luie, you probably don’t need the Sedin line on the ice much the rest of the game.
It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock-n-roll.
That was actually my biggest beef with Eager tonight.
Boarding penalty should have earned him five, but at least it’s a hockey play at face value (albeit an extremely dangerous one at that). Tripping/slewfoot penalty was dumb, but again, at least he’s trying (or giving the appearance of trying) to make a hockey play.
But break down Eager right there— he cuts the Canucks lead to four goals (comeback!!!1) with 2:27 left on the clock, raises his hands, does a little fist pump, lets out an audible whoop (the feed in the states caught it at least), proceeds to trash talk Luongo while he’s on the ice, and then, as both Sean and I said in our respective recaps, ignores his teammates trying to pull him off.
That’s ugly.

Oh, yeah. That’s a bullshit source (although, judging by the way things went tonight, I bet some lively conversations were had).
I have press credentials, regularly attend practices, get into the locker room consistently. If there’s one thing I can tell you about the San Jose Sharks organization it is this— they keep their shit under fucking wraps. There’s not a single person of importance in that locker room/organization who talks to the media “off the record.” One of the reasons why a lot of San Jose’s trades fly completely under the radar and surprise everybody— Thornton, Boyle, etc.

Eag's marches to the beat of a different drummer
No one will ever accuse Eager of being the sharpest knife in the drawer. he is a tough, fast, bruising foward with some offensive skills. He’s obviously been in a few too many bouts during his career.
I’ve watched the replay several times that Sean has posted below, and thought it wasn’t that far from finishing a check. i’m not clear on the rule, but are you not allowed to check a player if he turns his back to you. He hits him with his shoulder also. Seems like defensemen get clobbered all the time like that chasing down pucks behind the net. (Vancouver d-men did a great job of absorbing that punishment last night.)
The worst part was when he turns around and just stares at Sedin instead of getting back into the play. That’s where his intent on the play becomes pretty obvious. That hit might be much more effective at firing your team up in the first period, than when your down by 5 goals with 3 min left in the game . Then again, Gentle Ben may have not realized what period it was.
You basically have two choices when dissecting Eager’s plays in the waning minutes of game two – either he’s not a good loser or he’s just plain crazy.
Either way, I say dress him for Game Three – it certainly will make for an interesting side show.
It’s an illegal hit, but not suspend-able imo. He keeps his elbows down, doesn’t jump and doesn’t target the head. Really the only bad things about the hit are where Daniel is wrt to the boards and that Daniel is facing the boards. And of course the fact that Eager was obviously gunning for someone. It’s clearly a hit from behind and a good ref shoulda known by how that goofball was acting that he was gonna do something like this. Shoulda been 5 for sure.
The worst part was when he turns around and just stares at Sedin instead of getting back into the play. That’s where his intent on the play becomes pretty obvious.
Right, icing on the cake last night (besides lose his mind towards the end) was Eager’s posturing. After his goal his excuse of “I was happy” is completely asinine. He’s fooling no one. If he just kept skating after that Sedin hit, I’d agree that’s a tough hit (I wanted five but I can see where it’s borderline to a ref) but it’s the WCF and that’s going to happen.
Also good on Sedin to get right up after the hit (pretty sure he didn’t clean the blood off his face the rest of the game). He could have sold that hit when he was down, but just popped back up and kept moving.

He didn’t hit him when they were down by 5. He hit him when they were down 1. Some people are saying Eager didn’t cost the Sharks the game but he took away any chance of a comeback. He’s lucky they didn’t score on that PP. If he played smart from that point on, it could’ve been a close game but 20 minutes was too long for him to try to be smart and he cost them the 4th goal and was on the ice for the 6th goal.
That boarding penalty really prevented San Jose from building on the momentum of Marleau’s fight.

The momentum is a lie
Just as a slight fyi. There is no such thing as ‘momentum’ gained from a fight. It’s a facile MSM narrative statement, and the as far as I have seen it borne out a fight doesn’t change anything about a game except for riling up the crowd (good for getting return customers) and putting a player at unecessary risk of injury. Before making further ‘momentum’ statements try looking up the results of every game with a fight and check the difference in current game state (at the time of the fight) and the final game state. Those who did, showed that it has essentially no effect on the final game state, and possibly you were more likely to lose the game (although considering the teams investigated that wasn’t exactly a shocker).
The ‘nucks are a bad team to play against because ultimately they play the odds. Fighting and chirping doesn’t win games or alter games, because, in the end, they are low percentage, high risk, and low benefit moves.
Thats a good point
But anecdotal evidence says otherwise. As a player long ago, it would jack me up.
The guys in post game pressers always say something similar. Tanner Glass, I remember, though the other guy escapes me…he was badly outmatched size and fighting experience wise, but went into the tilt and held his own.
I remember almost every player afterwards saying how it picked them up, and they won that game.
Point taken though…
Nuck’s Misconduct Bishop, 1st United Church of Luongod Canucks coach Alain Vigneault claimed he knew exactly what Rome was doing on his goal even if the player himself didn't. "That was a set play," winked Vigneault. 5/19/11
This is probably a too long reply, but you raised the specter of anecdotes...
My suspicion would be that you are not including all the fights that ocurred in those samples, i.e. you, and Tanner Glass are cherry picking the fight/result combos that happened to go your way. Also, who cares if Tanner Glass busts his wrists or gets a broken nose?
That being said, I don’t doubt there is a short term effect on how players feel, but at the same time it affects both teams (“Our guy lost, (let’s get revenge/buckle down and win it for) [insert pugilist here]!” vs. “We won, let’s go pound some [insert opponent here]!”) and the effect is probably a wash.
Of course it’s a boon to the construction of the narrative around a game, but it’s actual effect on the game, with the caveats that the penalties have to be a wash and no one was injured, is probably very small. This is where 5min of 4th liner vs. 5min of actual good player comes in, but that has little to do with the fight getting the blood pumping and more with the quality of the players involved, hence why Bieksa isn’t going to fight Eager, but won’t back down from Marleu.
On the whole I’m sure we can all come up with examples of fights that had a meaningful effect on the game, but in aggregate I doubt their ability to do much, which is why not fighting is, I suppose, safe and boring, but also playing the percentages, and in the end why I suspect Vancouver has cut down on it.
Interesting take, rsm.
never thought of it that way. I don’t know who to agree with, but it’s certainly a new, and interesting take on it.

I get the equal value thing. Absolutely
It was probably tough for a guy like Bieksa, or even the others, to go after Eager after he hit Daniel though. I thought the Clowe stuff was more ridiculous though. Yeah, Lappy rattled his gloves, but he gave him a couple pops in the mouth pretty unexpected.
Absolutely, the fight can take it one way or the other, as a wash over a while. I think Marleau did it to try and get his guys going, and in a weird way, answer that Roenick crap about him.
The anecdote was one in which, whomever the guy was, he was way bigger than Tanner, and he held in good but got whacked a few times, for what that is worth!
Vancouver does the Detroit model with a bit more of an edge. The Wings don’t fight much either. I don’t mind it.
Though, with the menace in AV’s comments today about if he gets out of hand again, if the score gets out of hand, well, expect some Charlestown Chiefs action if Eager goes to the well again in Game 3.
Personally, I think with Gary and all the boys there, some calls were made, and Benny will be on a tighter leash. We will see though.

the hated Red Wings resemble this remark
While it will always be part of the game, watching someone’s face being turned into raw hamburger will never be my favorite part of the game. Does that make me a panty waist?
If so, I hope a giant crab eats yout face.
I don't mind
A guy like Kesler or Bieksa fighting someone if it comes out of the game. Marleau’s desire for a jolt for his bench brought all that other stuff when Eager misinterpreted what his leader was trying to do, instead focussing on the guy he picked to go with.
Thats discipline as well. His acting like a brat wanting ice cream was kind of bizarre. It certainly was not helpful.
That leads to hamburger face fights when the two stiffs go.
The Canucks just refused that from Eager, because they were getting more PPs. But it would have been a goon show if Daniel had been hurt, regardless of who was in the lineup.
Bettman and Co were lucky that the game had that edge, that I love, but did not descend into that other stuff, which I think we all hate.
Eager was the only guy trying to make it like that. I don’t think the Canucks are kittens in any way by not giving him a stage and going.
But I think this game, if he still tries to hurt someone, that everyone on that 4th line will grab someone and go Slapshot or something.
Thats the stuff you hate right? But even then, that stuff has its place. If the Sharks go back to that stuff if the game gets out of hand, and even if it does not, Lui might get run more often than not.
We all know what usually happens when someone runs the goalie!

How does getting beaten to a pulp after fighting like a 9 year old girl create momentum exactly?
To me that looked demoralizing.
TEN DOWN, SIX TO GO
It shows his teammates he is willing to do “whatever it takes”. I have seen that have a positive “bounce” to the play of the team that has the non-fighter go into a fight like that.
If Eager is not on that bench, and if he does not do what he did the next shift, it may have given a jolt to his team for “standing” in. Marleau did not get beat that bad in hockey fight terms, he got in a few and did not get knocked out or floored or anything.
But when Eager did what he did, he was sticking up for his guy. I would just say that he did not have to. Bieksa did not goad him into anything, like some apologists have tried to say today. Marleau wanted to fight. Sometimes that is enough.

Wrong, Eager just switched bodies with Douglas Murray moments before the hit. Watch the replay, Daniel’s looking right at Murray/Eager
"I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run, if you will, so now I'm afraid i have something of a mess on my hands."
"There's just so many poorly chosen words in that sentence."
Daniel admitted he knew Eager was coming. He just didn’t think Benny would hit him so hard.

The Sharks were 2 posts and a couple 4 minute power plays (high stick cuts) short of making this a really interesting game.
Tough luck for the Sharks.

on the refs missing some of those calls. Sometimes you get the shark and sometimes the Sharks get you (except when you face them in a Conference Final, then they implode).

this brought back a great mammory of an old g/f who came to our Sr. Mens league game with nothing on but a mink coat and heels. Middle of the game the refs and everyone on the ice was smiling like they just pumped the cat when I asked what was up and they pointed into the corner glass. There she was with a friend entertaining everyone on the ice. Needless to say the puck stayed in that corner for a long time after that.
Just a chew toy for the hockey gods
That...is so awesome.
Back to the game/aftermath. Jesus does Clowe talk a lot. talk talk talk talk talk. Where was he on the ice Games 1 & 2? The only time I noticed him at all was when he got his penalty. Otherwise completely invisible. Good thing they got Heatley and him to help shoulder the load from Thornton and Marleau…
To be fair, I assume he had a good couple series before this one seeing as he put up 13 points, but who knew he was such a petulant bitch? What an effin whiner!

Didn’t really have much of a chance on any of them. The team completely quit on him.
Of course, if this was the other way, you know that half the story would be about how it was Luongo’s fault.

Basically
The same as Games 4 and 5 vs. Chicago. And we all know who gets strung up for those.

Exactly
It will be interesting to see how the Sharks come out in Game 3. And how the Canucks respond to that.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
And if Ben Eager can get a penalty
While being suspended/banished to the press box.
Calgary, Alberta (Deep In The Heart Of Flamer Hell)
To be honest, I will be surprised if Eager is a healthy scratch. Suspended, maybe. But lets be real here – he was the only guy to show any sort of emotion last night. Stupid emotion, yes. But the only one who seemed to give a damn.
Tough to sit those guys.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
Trust me
I do not respect Ben Eager. I hate Ben Eager.
But it’s tough to sit the only guy that was fighting back. You sit him down and say “cut the crap, stop being an idiot”, and then you hope and pray it works.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
Kind of reminds me of when our boys took a run at Eager in the 3rd after his hit on Dank
Oh, wait, nevermind.
But yeah, I agree with the emotion. But when you end up screwing your team in the process, I’d just as soon have less of it.
Calgary, Alberta (Deep In The Heart Of Flamer Hell)
The whole point of having guys like that on your team...
is to provide your teammates with an emotional lift. Based on the body language of his teammates, especially after the boorish believed he displayed following his goal, suggests that Eager’s antics had the exact opposite effect on his own team.

Marginally OT, but:
Is there any question that Kevin Bieksa is going to get so paid this offseason, either by us or someone else?
I think at this point we should all just be hoping that he takes a contract identical to Hamhuis’s and doesn’t take the $5m someone else will throw at him.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
Yeah. But really, he should get Hamhuis money, or a bit more. They’ve been very similar all year – Hamhuis was probably more solid during the regular season, but Bieksa is coming out a bit more in the playoffs. Even then, Hammer is still very solid now. Just Juice is getting more offense
"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!"
I absolutely agree that he should get Hamhuis money, if not more. I think the pitch to Bieksa is that he’s had by far his best season paired with a guy like Hamhuis, he’d have a hard time finding that elsewhere (like in Toronto) and he gets to be part of a core contending for the Cup for the next 5 years.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
Yep
That’s how I’d do it too. Hammer + Juice together has really been greater than the sum of its parts.
"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!"
Hard to say.
But I could see Juice taking similar pay to Hammer for a similar length of time, especially if we do win the Cup. I’m sure he’d relish the chance to stay with a team with the core locked up and loaded. You’d figure with a young family too, that stability would be high on the list. But who knows. All I can say is I want KB3 back, and as much as I like Ehrhoff, I’d rather sign the former long-term.
Calgary, Alberta (Deep In The Heart Of Flamer Hell)
This is the most important point I think. AMFB/Kes/Bieksa has always talked about growing up together, and being a core part of the team together. Hopefully, he’s willing to give us a “big” discount, and take the Hamhuis offer.

2. Get Higgins back
2(a). Get a Higgins replacement if he wants to head back east
3. Resign Hansen (RFA)
4. Let Rypien, Salo and Alberts walk.
5. Shop Schneider and see if anyone bites
6. Resign Sweatt (RFA)
Flip a coin on Tambo. Not sure about Torres, but I wouldn’t mind seeing him back at a slight raise. Also not sure what to do with Glass, but at this rate I’d gleefully take a slightly more expensive Lapierre at his expense.

Not sure you deal with Ballard before you figure out Bieksa/Ehrhoff. Ballard is still a proven guy and could be part of the solution if a top six guy goes. Salo is almost definitely gone, but his slot should be Tanev’s to lose.

I don’t think it works like that. Salo’s cap space was on LTIR for most of the season, and he has never played when all of our D was healthy, so I don’t think his cap hit was considered when you counted the regular season cap.
The only thing you can count on, is all the people who are leaving, (Alberts, Torres) and the ~3M bump in cap room.

Pretty much
And Tambo’s had too many Carbombs already.
Although you could say the same about Edler and Rome there. Rome looks the kind of guy that clings on and annoys you and Edler just wants nothing to do with him

Sharks fan here
Sean- You are absolutley right. Ben Eager is a playoff douche bag. Don’t get me wrong, I like his speed and he does have skill, he’s just too disciplined to put out on playoff ice. I thought after the Marleau fight, the Sharks would come out and just put the Canucks away but good ol Eager had to decide to play like a 12 year old with a temper tantrum. This isn’t the Canucks of years past where they would let that get under their skin. Then the Eager goal then he starts talking shit to Luongo, so damn embarrassing.
I think what pisses me off (actually it is more heartbreaking than maddening) is that Joe Thornton was the hardest worker for the Sharks and played like a beast. His teammates are letting him down. He doesn’t deserve what the media spews at him (choker, invisible, a non-leader)… the fact that he is on the losing side of this series really bothers me.
But as a 20 year fan of the Sharks, I still have faith. If Eager is not out on the ice, we can rally and come back game 3. If so, it’s a whole new ball game. :)

I'm curious
In regards to the fight, are we in agreement that it was Marleau who dropped the gloves first and Bieksa obliged? They were definitely hacking at each other away from the play, but my take wasn’t that Bieksa jumped him at all (as some of the post game comments seemed to indicate).

On the replays
Marleau does drop them first. And he even admitted to it in a post game interview

I imagine Bieksa was chirping him a bit and trying to get him to fight, but Marleau’s a smart guy who doesn’t let his emotions take over. He fought because he wanted to.

No I dig what Marleau did. Good for him for, if no other reason, taking VANs best player at that point off the ice. Just I don’t understand some of the comments from their end last night. Meh, whatever. Call it heat of the moment.

Oh definitely
On both counts. It was a somewhat smart play by Marleau – although he took himself off too so that hurt the Sharks.

Better trade off for the Sharks though. They have plenty of other scoring options. Losing a guy off your top pairing isn’t that best. Imagine if they lost Boyle for five minutes, we could have pounced on that.

Yeah Marleau does drop em first. I just think anytime Marleau is in a fight (the truthfully, he did get his ass handed to him), the other guys on the team are going to be fired up to avenge him or make him proud, whatever their mind set is.

Yeah totally agree. Like I said above, I dig that he made that sacrifice. I was just perplexed by some of the comments that suggested it was the other way around.

It just furthers the strangeness that is the Sharks’ dressing room. Marleau admitted dropping his gloves first. Then Clowe and Eager go on a rant saying Bieksa picked his spots. Damned whiny Sharks

Can't believe
Roenick called Marleau gutless. The guy looks freaking tough stepping up to fight and light a fire under his team.
No kidding. That was a ballsy move. How ironic, considering the news we read about Fedorov just yesterday :P

I watched the game at a friend's house
It was incredibly awesome. Juice breakaway… holy shit that was amazing. In the first period I said “Aaron Rome couldn’t score a goal with a goalie in the net if his life depended on it”. And when he scored I yelled to my friends “YOU KNOW YOU’RE GETTING KILLED IF AARON FUCKING ROME SCORES AGAINST YOU! BAHAHA!”.
Vancouver’s powerplay was fucking unreal. It is to be renamed Mjolnir, the Hammer of Thor.
Eager is fucking crazy. Absolutely crazy. I listened to the post game interviews on the drive to soccer and TMac said Eager would play the next game. Keep the engine on in the powerplay, boys! Him trying to chirp Luie when his team is down 4 goals is hilarious. Look at the scoreboard, fucktard. Eager is an embarassment to the Sharks and to hockey.
