Did You Blow Him Away Or Something? - Canucks vs Red Wings Gamethread
Detroit Red Wings at Vancouver Canucks, Feb 2, 2012 7:00 PM PST
Remember the good old days, where the Canucks were trying to figure out how to be elite, but kept getting weighed down by goonery and Chicago? In a way, Vancouver used to be like Jeannie Bueller, struggling with why everyone gets away with stuff that we can't do. At this time, the Red Wings were (and still are) the model for building a championship team. In a way, they're kinda like Charlie Sheen in the video above, explaining to Jeannie that the problem is the Canucks themselves, not the teams around them. Vancouver needs to find their own ways to get what they want, and stop worring so much about what others are doing. Well, look at us now. We finally found a method to get to the Stanley Cup Finals, maintain great depth, and embrace the hate. And now, we once again face the team who set the bar.
Coconuts go.

So how about beating the Wings for me?
Huh? Pretty please? We were nice enough to lose the other night to you, so um you kind of owe me – right?

he’s so unhealthy this season.

They seemed to be pretty open about his infection before.
Doesn’t make sense to me that they would start trying to hide it now.
Maybe after all-star break they go into playoff-secret-mode..

or
he was saying that the drugs really took it out of him. Getting an illness in Febuary is not uncommon.
Hope for the best, but we’ll have to see obviously

Boston loses to Carolina
for the 4th time this year. You think teams might look at those game tapes and take notes.
Lead writer of nothing, commenter on everything.
Yep
Canes took them out in the playoffs on their way to a Cup once, and have a great rivalry going back to the diehards that follow the “Whalers” still
They get up for the Bruins, it helps. You can bet that the tapes are making there way around the NHL though

This is NOT
a bitch against the refs…though a couple calls have been light.
But the Wings are getting away with fucking murder.
On that last PK, Raymond was by Lidstrom on the chip, a little hook. Raymond earlier in the offensive zone had his jersey grabbed by Kronwall, then was tackled by Zetterberg in the corner with no call.
I mean, I get it, we all respect the Wings, but jesus christos

I was trying to point out how the Wings get a lot of the “benefit” of the doubt form the refs.
But its actually a skill. They did a very good job of walking right up to the line and not over.
It just seems the line is a bit closer along for the Canucks in comparison, you know?
