Update (2:44 PM): For the Kings, Scott Parse will replace Goon Rich Clune. Terry Murray is saying he is going to roll his 4 lines more than he has in previous games, which probably explains the addition of Glass by AV (beyond Grabner's futility.)
Update (2:40 PM): Canucks insert some grit into the lineup. Glass in, Grabner out.
WAACH'Cast and Missy have already previewed Game 6 and voiced their opinions here and here. I won't add too much to that except:
-The game starts at 6:00 PST. The Kings want the game over with earlier so they can have their funeral and everyone can go home early. (I'm kidding, but god may it be so!)
-Canucks kept Drew Doughty and Jack Johnson off the scoreboard last game for the first time. Helps only allowing 1 PP goal against I'd say.
-Is Jonathan Quick rattled now? That is the big question. If not, the Kings could bring this back to Vancouver for Game 7. I'm not getting cocky after a 7-2 win. One game at a time, especially when you have the damned media drumming up the Shane O'Brien incident where he showboated after beating on Wayne Simmonds in game 5. Argh. I don't like the showboating because it gives an opposing coach like Terry Murray a reason to act like a puss in front of the media by bitching about it and giving his team something to rally around. It's not a controversy! It's a losing coach being a wimp and trying to light a fire under ass of his squad!
-12 different Canucks scored at least a point in Game 5.
-Samuelsson is a glorious basterd. His 7 goals leads the NHL right now and ties him for the Canucks' record for most goals in a series with Pavel Bure I believe. He says he feels good about himself. He's playing loose.
-I don't see why Andrew Alberts won't play tonight. Hopefully he's found his groove in a Canucks uni. He did what he said he'd do last game: keep it simple.
-Well hot damn! Somebody finally won a game in this series after scoring the first goal! Somebody finally won a game when leading after the first period!
That is all. GO CANUCKS GO!
