Around SBN: Why Hockey Fans Should Root For Devils Vs. Kings

Haters Gonna Hate..

Hey you guys....WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The most hated guy in Boston buries the Bruins in Game 5! Suddenly the 2 day layoff isn't so bad! Wow..I couldn't even sit down for the duration of the 3rd period. So intense! The Bruins will have an answer in Game 6 but enjoy this moment! We sure as hell did up here in Smithers!

Thank god the Canucks finally learned to play a patient defensive game again. Oh thank heavens we have a 3rd line that can score. Praise be to Alex Edler who crushed any Bruin that came anywhere near him. Any haters on Luongo out there?? Eat it!

This reminds me of Philip Seymour Hoffman's character in Twister when they go tornado chasing: "Hey you guys! Woooo!!"

i don't see how

his numbers are ugly based on the multiple blow-outs.

but if Vancouver wins, I think he deserves it. 12-3 in one goal games in the playoffs. That’s pretty amazing, and Lu deserves all the credit for the Nucks being where they are.

but just when ya try to give a guy some credit (like SamFels and many commenters at SCH), he’s gotta take a shot at Thomas on last night’s goal:

It’s not hard if you’re playing in the paint, so… It’s an easy save for me. But if you’re wandering out and aggressive like he does, I mean, that’s going to happen…

guh. I ain’t a hater though, and if I were were a long-suffering Nucks fan, like I’m sure most of you are, and putting up with a classless team was the price of a Cup, it’s worth it, amirite?

I lifted it verbatim from a comment at SCH. Sorry about that. Full quote:

“It’s not hard if you’re playing in the paint. It’s an easy save for me, but if you’re wandering out and aggressive like he does, that’s going to happen. He might make some saves that I won’t, but in a case like that, we want to take advantage of a bounce like that and make sure we’re in a good position to bury those.”

So basically he said

that Thomas’ style is going to give up those goals, but that same style allows him to make a lot of other remarkable saves.

Add into the fact he was asked about it, and I don’t see what the problem is?

Heh, Botchford (beat reporter) said Luongo was talking to media members he’s familiar with who have questioned his style and how far back he’s started playing in the crease this year. He doesn’t see it as a shot at Thomas.

So don't get violent and don't get caught with your head down, the night she stole the moon.

by thelastjohnny on Jun 11, 2011 9:47 AM PDT up reply actions  

hahahahha

and REALLY?

You consider that post by SamFels to be giving Luongo credit?

Luongo has fallen so far down my Asshole-Canuck list, I can’t even really fathom it. That doesn’t mean I’m rooting for him or anything. Yes, Luongo has bitched about officiating in the past. But did he take it to the level that Vigneault, Bieksa, Gillis, or whatever Sedin is talking has? Not really. Yes, Luongo has dived to get calls in the past, but is it the absurdist theater that Henrik Sedin and Alex Burrows are? Not even close. Luongo also hasn’t bitten anyone, cracked someone with a criminally late hit, turtled when confronted by an actual adult, or taken shots while being corralled by a linesmen. For the most part, Bob has generally stood up and been accountable when he wasn’t good, and then improved his play. His faults are simply his play. It’s kind of astounding that that could be considered admirable on that team. Tells you everything you need to know about them.

This is why no one cares anymore what other people think of the Canucks. People have gone to such ridiculous lengths to stand on one foot and bend their heads sideways in order to see every little thing as OMG THE WORST EVAR so they can continue hating on the Canucks rather than take a good honest look at the bullshit their own players pull.

I used to be embarrassed by some of the stuff Burrows did, and I was concerned when we added LaPierre to the team.

Now, because of folks like you who form your opinions based on parroting what other people say rather than watching and thinking, I want the Canucks to win in whatever way makes YOU the most angry. Burrows and Lappy are my new heroes.

Why not discuss Burrows treatment in game 5

Slew footed by Lucic the Neanderthal and burrows gets called for embellishing.

Run over and cross-checked by Seidenberg after a whistle, no call and the Bruins pointing at Burrows like he dove.

Refs are obviously frustrated at the Canucks and are giving the Bruins a lot of leeway to take liberties with no consequence, but the scoreboard read 1-0 at the end of the game.

Over that play? Not at all. It was obvious what he was trying to sell, and the ref is right there.

Perhaps wrapping your leg around a hockey stick isn’t the best way to sell a slash.

Congrats.

You noticed my typo. Really wish you could edit the comments. Meant to say trip, but was thinking of something else.

On the NBC feed, they showed him wrap his leg around the stick twice in replay. If we’re thinking about the same play, it was cut and dry.

by 13_Legion on Jun 11, 2011 11:41 AM PDT up reply actions  

I thought both of them going was fair.

Add to the context that the ref had to stop and warn them both prior to the call, I thought sending both of them to the box made sense. It may not be fair, but Burr and Lappy really aren’t going to get any calls their way for the rest of the series.

Lucic tripped him, I’m sure, but Burr sold that too, and he had to know he wouldn’t be getting any benefit of the doubt.

But I don’t think that was even a dive to call. He just needed something to call, because he probably told them both to stop it.

I was really surprised the Bruin fans, and our friends at SCH went right for the diving narrative.

I mean, if he dove, thats fine. But lucic kicked his feet out, and later, he got absolutely buried on a running start by Seidenberg, and the German had the audacity to say he went down easy!

Players will play to that narrative too. I am sure Burr and Lappy will take all that and more for one more win!

I love

the intensity of such a miniscule play being dissected with such intensity.

Meh. really, he helped it along by kicking out the feet. I thought the penalty was sealed when they talked them a second time, and don’t think it was much of a dive…given its your feet getting knocked out.

I thought it was going to be both as soon as he called it, but it was not a dive. Thing is, if you want to take both, what else do you call?

Marchand kicks out people’s feet and gets a goal out of it, and he is called “Wolverine” on NHLN, and affectionately the “Rat”, because its OK when the other team does it…

So, the way they are so relentless in some of the MSM about stoking this story is…bemusing lets say.

Honestly though. Just look at the language from folks at the Globe and Herald. I have read them all through the series, to get both sides.

Its not “opinion” at all. By their very words, its reality.

You are 1000% right in the second paragraph. The stage is a huge part of all that.

I am sure you have read the stuff in your own city. If you agree with it, that is fine. It would help buttress the “Canucks are evil” narrative anyhow.

But I cannot agree with any of the “plenty of trolls” talk. That goes both ways, and is noise. My point was about the MSM, more than us fine SBN folks.

he said “He might make some saves that I won’t.”

But the question was about the goal scored on Thomas. I don’t see why Lu turned it into a question about his own goaltending skills.

it was a bit of a trap question, and Lu walked right into it.

imagine someone asking Thomas about one of the many bad goals Lu allowed in games 3 or 4. I’d hope he would be smart enough to deflect the question, rather than say something like “well, that would have been an easy save for me.”

Without Thomas

this game doesn’t even reach 6 games. Sorry, but in game 3, the Canucks looked pretty darn good in the first period and into the second. Thomas made some amazing saves that kept them in the game and allowed them to get momentum.

I think you have a good point and it is debateable, especially depending on how the series plays out, but right now, you have to give it to Thomas.

I guess that the Stanley Cup playoffs

without a great goalie, what team ever makes it this far? Both Thomas and Luongo have been playing some amazing hockey, and are integral to their team’s success.
Could we call it a draw? On the Conn Smythe I mean.

by Tink for Nucks on Jun 11, 2011 9:08 AM PDT up reply actions  

I dunno

Maybe, but if we look at the finals, I think Thomas has an edge. Lu played poorly in game four, even though he bounced back strong the next game. Thomas hasn’t had a bad game yet, I think. Game two he flubbed the winner, but his mistakes are pretty limited otherwise.

If the Bruins win the cup

Thomas is the MVP

If the Nucks win it should be Luongo, he has had some bad games, but what about all the great games not to mention 4 shut-outs.

the Nucks are leading the series despite scoring just 6 goals in 5 games. pretty impressive, Lu.

If it’s a draw on the CS… shouldn’t it go to the winning team by default then?

I'm pretty sure

that, given the choice of Conn Smythe trophy or Stanley Cup, that Lou would choose the Smythe (sarc.).

Tim Thomas

In the Tampa Bay series he let in 18 goal in 4 games and in each of those games he had a sub .900 save %.

He also had a one goal game and two shutouts.

He has been brilliant against the Canucks but the two burrows goals were softies. If the Canucks win the cup, Luongo is just as deserving of the Conn Smythe trophy.

Let us remember game 7 versus Chicago, out-dueling Pekka Rinne and the 50 + save performance against San-Jose. Its time to give Lu his due………….Win or Lose.

good points.
however, considering all the hype Thomas is getting this year, i think Luongo is going to be overshadowed by him for the CS, no matter who wins the Cup.

one thing i don't get...

is how people can at the same time call the sedins “soft” and “divers”… because a lot of time when i look at it, they don’t dive, they really get knocked down. for whatever reason, they don’t anticipate roughness (like in game 3 or 4 when daniel gets knocked down by a shoulder after an icing call) as much as they should.

I’m not sure I care anymore.
At this point, the world knows they are classless, douchey schmucks.

Sure, they may win the cup. But this team will forever be known outside of Vancouver as the biggest collection of assholes since the Broadstreet Bullies. The BB’s at least had something going for them – they beat the Russians. The Canucks? They merely bit and dove their way through the NHL finals.

some of them have become pretty hysterical

and I don’t mean “funny” hysterical, I mean “psychologically imbalanced”.

I used to think it was pretty amusing, but I don’t go over there to look anymore because it gives me a creepy feeling and I’m starting to genuinely feel bad for them. I can’t help but wonder what kind of piece of crap life a person’s got to have to think, “Hey, you know what’d be an awesome way to spend my free time? I’ma go online and spew irrational hatred at total strangers because a bunch of millionaires won’t play a game the way I want them to! And not just once, but every fucking moment I get the chance, wooo!”

I’m not saying they DO have piece of crap lives, just that it makes me wonder, and that’s depressing, so all the funny eventually gets canceled out for me.

From the nice hawks fans like stacie and wardrums and I think puppetmaster is her name? anyways, the hawks fans that who come to chat here and are able to be civil because they can grasp that people can disagree on some things yet still agree on others . . . I can only assume that occasionally there’s some good discussion there and good points made. I can live without ever having this confirmed, though.

I don't think either of them dive

I have seen Hank embellish. I think that, for the most part, both of them are remarkably tough. Obviously not in an enforcer sort of way. But they take their hits, stand their ground, and get up remarkably quickly when they get knocked down.

by Tink for Nucks on Jun 11, 2011 9:12 AM PDT up reply actions  

Diving, embellishing, same difference

they sell calls from time to time. You can tell they do it too, because they’ll take an inordinate amount of punishment on a shift and stay standing with the puck, then when the whistle goes a guy bumps into them and they fall down. Some of it is pretty embarassing, quite frankly.

But to suggest the Canucks are the ONLY playoff team that does it and the Sedins are the ONLY top players in the playoffs who do it and criticise them for it is pure homerism at its finest.

Not you at all.

Go to NHL.com and see the supposed “reactions” to a non controversy.

Thornton is the funniest. Guy has more talent than ( though a lower pick I bet! ) Eager, but he reminds me of him. It would be nice if another player goes meathead and gifts the PP some more time.

If they can finally score on it, that is!

I actually visited Puck Daddy

And saw the video he had on there with these Bruins players’ reactions to Lu’s comment. It was as if he called Tim Thomas the worst goalie ever, when in fact he has praised him before the series started.

In the end, I thought it was just a complete over reaction to a simple statement of how these goalies play, which would have been said if Lu didn’t say it. I mean, wasn’t it obvious? Like, if some dude asked me:

Q: “Would Luongo be able to make that stop?”
A: “Yes, because he plays in the paint, he would have time to transition from side to side and make a positional save.”

Their reactions were just absolutely hilarious. Hopefully “Lu is in their heads” and they’ll lose Game 6.

by Waymundo on Jun 11, 2011 8:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

They’ve lost two Games 1-0 to him, I really think they’ve seen so far in this series that once they go home, they might just have their way with him again.

How utterly pathetic. You couldn’t possibly be more obnoxious, and that goes to any hockey ‘fans’ spouting this line of crap. If your team was better, we’d be beating YOU for the Cup and not the Bruins. Every team that raised that Cup was worthy. Even yours. A shame that fans like YOU tarnish the game of hockey with this toxic attitude.
