The break after the icing in OT was annoying too.

Also Kane is diving a few games ago was much funnier.

[MrOilers]

Well, most of the team is coming back next year. So we'll get another good shot at it.

That's what Flames fans always say.

[SpikePhanta]

That's what Flames fans always say.

Flames don't have 2 Art Ross winners and a potential Selke candidate.
They do have Kipper though.

I won't disagree here, that hit on Bieksa was a clearcut head shot.

Yes but Bieksa had the puck, and it was shoulder contact - a perfectly clean hit.There were plenty of plays that could have been called on both sides late in the third, but the refs decided to put the whistle away, which is expected in the playoffs.

They have him signed until 2022, with a no-trade clause.

I wouldn't be surprised if schneider stars game 7 and goes on a streak, then Luongo request a trade.

Here is a post from another forum about the reffing

"The refs were AWFUL tonight!!!!!!!!!


Kelly Sutherland is from Richmond, BC. He is clearly overcompensating to make sure that he is not accused of ever being a Canucks homer.
Sutherland has a history of screwing the Canucks over. Remember the phantom boarding penalty on Burrows against Vernon Fiddler? That was girl's name Sutherland.
On Boxing Day 2008, this was the guy who made 4 famous bad calls for putting the Canucks in two 5 on 3 situations!

As for Wes McCauley, I am 90% sure that he is legally blind. He is known for not calling obvious high sticks. Remember when Dan Hinote high sticked Jason Arnott in a Colorado vs Dallas game?
Arnott was bleeding and McCauley went home with his walking stick and seeing eye dog. His father, John McCauley was a good ref, and must be rolling in his grave to see the disgrace his son has become.

1) Hamhuis checked frolik from the side not from behind. Plus it wasnt a clear cut breakaway...yet a penalty shot was called.

2) Daniel Sedin was clearly high sticked in the face from Bolland, right in front of an official. Not only an infraction but a dangerous act.

3) Bolland Slashed Henrik in front of the net, breaking his stick, which is a penalty.

4) Bolland tripped Edler with a slew foot, purposefully not called by an official.

5) Bieksa received a direct hit to the head, violating rule 48. Two refs saw it and no penalty was called.

6) Raffi Torres was boarded by Hjalmarsson. No call.

7) Alex Burrows got a punch in the face from John Scott after a whistle. No call."


The reffing in this game was a bit sketchy...

FX8KuJTRLNo
Pause the video at 5:53, you can clearly see Hossa with a hold on Alberts stick seconds before Hawks score in OT. Just another 1 out of 1000 missed calls by the refs this game. Not sure many people noticed this one.

[freeweed]

Yes but Bieksa had the puck, and it was shoulder contact - a perfectly clean hit.There were plenty of plays that could have been called on both sides late in the third, but the refs decided to put the whistle away, which is expected in the playoffs.

This really is the key here. We'll have to agree to disagree on what is a clean hit - sorry, but there is no such thing as a clean head shot in this year's NHL, at least according to the commissioner and disciplinarians - but the refs were basically letting the boys play last night. Which means the dirtier team generally wins.

Which is why I'm shocked that Vancouver lost. :P

[Surrealplaces]

I still think Vancouver will pull out the series win, and Chicago pushing them to edge is maybe just what they need. If they beat Chicago, I think they'll win it all.

BTW, each time a Canadian city has hosted the Olympics, they've won the cup the following year....just saying..

[Witty Nickname]

Sedin has been shot.

http://gif.mocksession.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/SEDIN.gif.pagespeed.ce.eE70RFMFgi.gif

[Surrealplaces]

Sorry to be a Dickie Downer, but there's no way the fragile Canucks are gonna win on home ice on Tuesday. May as well start planning for next year.

They outplayed Chicago, but just didn't get the bounces. I wouldn't count them out yet.

Speaking of outplaying other teams...Philly has been much, much better than Buffalo. If Philly's goaltending could stop anything smaller than a beach ball, I think they would be a shoe in for the cup.

Congrats Nashville! I'm so sorry to see the Ducks lose :D

Same thing with those French refs during a Habs game. We had the worse PP/PK ratio in the regular season for a reason.

[Coldrsx]

Refs were a little inconsistent and missed more than a few calls, but it was what it was. Chicago played quite poorly IMO, but Van simply got robbed by Crawford.

GO HAWKS GO

[Big Sky]

The Canucks also missed on some good chances. If Vancouver just plays in game 7 the way they did last night, they should win. That said Go Hawks!

[Big Sky]

Seriously though, the desire to see the Canucks fail displayed by you two is truly pathetic. I don't recall anyone on this forum, Canucks fan or otherwise, cheering for the Oilers to fail. I've no doubt feepa will scour a years worth of this thread to prove me wrong though.

So bitter and sad....

I'm an equal opportunity kind of guy. I cheer against both Vancouver and Edmonton. :)

[Big Sky]

sorry, i can't hear you over the 5 cups between us. What have the cannots ever done?

And for that matter - what has any Canadian team accomplished since the Oilers went to the Finals?

zip? zilch? nadda? nothing?

Okay.

This is where I have to agree with Touraccuacy. As much as I dislike the Canucks, the Stanley cups won by Calgary and Edmonton mean diddly squat today. I find it pathetic when all people can do is bring up past glories when debating hockey.
Who gives a shit how teams did 5, 10, or 20 years ago? or 40 years ago in the case of the Leafs. The bottom line is, Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto aren't relevant right now. Those past cups or glories aren't helping them right now.

[bulliver]

^^ And that is fine. I wasn't suggesting everyone should be a 'nucks fan. The two guys I was referring to specifically seem so incredibly passionate in their hatred, and I guess I just don't understand it. So much negativity over something that is basically inconsequential in the big picture. Perhaps the Canucks killed their puppies....

[Coldrsx]

^nope, but I have never ever had worse experiences as an out of town fan as I have there.

[SHOFEAR]

Ironically, Stauffer and Darren Dreger are on the radio right now talking about the hatred many people have for the Canucks. Their conclusion was Vancouver fans and the organization come across with a sense of entitlement and attitude when their history (even recent history) show little reason or excuse for this attitude.



It's one thing to have a sense of entitlement when you deserve it and have the history to back it up, Red Wings, Eskimos, Yankees, etc. But to mix this sense of entitlement with a pathetic history of mediocrity and failure....it's just hilarious to watch and easy to cheer against them.

[SHOFEAR]

Also, watching that homer Don Taylor on RSN is enough of a reason to hate the canucks.

[bulliver]

Interesting. I guess I have not noticed this sense of entitlement. Can someone give examples of how it is manifested? Using this forum as an example, other than that one troll who keeps reappearing, the canucks fans here seem to be quite reasonable, cautiously optimistic yet fully prepared for the team to blow it in the playoffs, as has happened for so many years now....

[SpikePhanta]

Also, watching that homer Don Taylor on RSN is enough of a reason to hate the canucks.

He picked chicago to win the series !

Also the only canucks fan that feel entitled are the bandwagoners, and as bulliver said above, except fro a troll that reappears from time to time, I don't think any of us feel entitled.

Also if you see around Vancouver the real hockey and canucks fans don't feel entitled at all, just when playoffs come the noobmedia and nondiehards feel entitled and rage when the canucks lose.

[feepa]

Bulliver . I dont have time to waste to go over years of posts to prove you are wrong. You just are. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that you don't follow the NHL that closely. Fans of a rival team especially in the same division rarely cheer on another team in the same division. I'm not bitter I'm not sad.
Try visiting some real sports forums if you want to figure why most Canuck fans are deemed the biggest douches in the sporting world. Its also well documented use google.

[bulliver]

^ I much prefer to watch hockey than watch/read people talk about hockey. I find it very boring. I guess I am not like most fans, as I cheer for the Oil except when they play Van. I cheer for Montreal over Boston. I cheer for Nashville over Anaheim. I cheer for a good game no matter who's playing. What I don't do is cheer rabidly for a single team and piss all over every other team.

I really don't think some hardcore hockey fan forums are a good place to get a sense of breadth of a team's fanbase. By definition these forums would only attract the biggest superfan homers.

Don't take this the wrong way, it is an honest question: You say canucks fans are the 'biggest douches' because of what you read on these forums. So if you write the same sort of stuff over here, why does it make you 'right' rather than a douche?

[SHOFEAR]

Bulliver, I can't think of many examples on this forum when it comes to entitlement.

But using this forum as an example, would there still be as many Vancouver posters posting in this thread if Vancouver was a bottom feeder? What about if Calgary and Edmonton were contenders, would there be a vancouver like two, three or four fold increase in this thread from posters in these markets? probably not.

Vancouver suffers from way to many bandwagon jumpers. These people are typically the most ignorant, loudest, and the least knowledgeable....a bad combination.

[freeweed]

Covered me in a single paragraph. I'm a HOCKEY fan first, and a *insert team here* fan second. Kinda comes with the territory when your local team is ripped out (RIP Jets), but it really just means that I love the game itself.

Rivalries add spice, but they're most certainly not the main course. You'll notice that most die-hard (and by this I mean the douches) fans of any particular team just so happen to have been born and live in that same city. They're not really fans of anything, they just wave the patriotism flag unthinkingly.

Speaking from personal experiences, the Canucks fans on SSP are much more tolerable than others that I know in real life. My dad has lived in BC for over a decade, and I've always found it very difficult to talk hockey with them. You're right about here though, that aside from one obvious example, the Canucks fans are quite reasonable.

BTW, I didn't find the refs to be that bad last night, they let quite a few things go that could have been called, but I didn't find them to be overly biased.

The two main forums for hockey are nhl.com and hfboards. I guarantee you the juvenile comments and trolling are equal across the board.

And what's wrong with using this thread as an example? There are fans from all cities represented? Are most Canuck fans here douches, as you so eloquently suggested?

You see me writing the same sort of stuff that gets sconadian banned? I'm glad we have more intelligent canuck fans on these forums, but that's certainly not the norm online and in real life. I'm not going to go on and on, as i don't want to paint all canuck fans in the same brush, but there is certainly a high proportion of unintelligent canuck bandwagon fans that shade the rest of the canuck fans in a bad light.
One only needs to take an opposing jersey into Rogers Center (or w/e its called now) to find out, and compare to the reaction if you did that anywhere else.

Logan: All canuck fans I've encounter on SSP are of the better variety, the rare variety, amongst canuck fans.

and i'm torn on who i want to see win, a crosby and malkinless pittsburgh team or stamkos and st. louis? :hmmm:

[Ayreonaut]

I'd usually cheer for Pittsburgh, but without Crosby, and to a lesser extent Malkin, they just aren't as entertaining. Any combination of Tampa, Philly, and Washington would be a good series.

[SpikePhanta]

have you guys seen the new canuck videos on their site? LOL @ Mike Gillis' WHINING!!! :haha::haha::haha:

There is no denying that the reffing wasn't great the past few games, look at the examples I posted a page back.

And this video highlights some bonehead decisions done by the refs.

YCvAcNvC1qo

The no call on bieksa and the ice clean after an icing was bad.

[Ayreonaut]

The non-call on Bieksa was fine. He looked up, then looked back down at the puck as he got levelled. He really should have seen it coming when he looked up just seconds earlier. Skating with your head down is not the same as looking behind you for a puck (like Seabrook was because the puck was behind him), the two hits were different. The officiating wasn't biased, just relaxed (perhaps too much), lots of could-be penalties were overlooked going both ways.

As I type this Thornton wins the series for the Sharks, so my hope of a Washington-San Jose final is alive.

[SpikePhanta]

Bickell left his feet, that should have been charging, whereas Torres never left his feet.

I'm also hoping for a SJS WSH final.

[Nicko999]

The Choker eliminates the Kings in OT!

So we now have 12 teams left in the race.

[Tom Servo]

bickell lowered his shoulder to attempt a clean hit, bieksa lowered his head as the hit was coming. torres led with his elbow, went high and blindsided seabrook. but who cares? the game is over. and besides, the canucks are still the best team with a dangerous power play and on home ice. should be a tense game 7 here in chicago.

that said, i thought that kings / sharks game went pretty hard. that heatley goal was SICK.

[Yume-sama]

Squandering a 5 minute major PP in OT with no shots on goal, and then being scored on just a minute later... that's choking :(

[Nicko999]

I'm not sure if I look forward to the game tonight between the Habs and Bruins...

Desharnais is out with an injury. He was one of our best forward last game.
Wizniewski is doubtful.:(:(:( Even if he plays, he might not be 100%.

And now I just learned the most pleasant surprise a Habs fan (or a hockey fan in general) can have.:no:

STOP THE PRESSES! Chris Lee (finally!!) & Kevin Pollock refs for Game 6 #BosMtl #NHLPlayoffs #Habs #Bruins

http://twitter.com/#!/habsinsideout1/status/62703141665247232

For those that don't know Lee, he is the second worst ref in the NHL after Auger. Auger is as bias as you can get when calling penalties while Lee calls them completely randomly. You can't even understand what is going on and why that penalty was even called in the first place.

EDIT: Huge Tuesday of hockey with 2 Game 7s and a Game 6.

[logan5]

Auger is a legend - "I'm gonna git you sucka!"

[Flamesrule]

Auger is a legend - "I'm gonna git you sucka!"

Wasn't that the ref who told Alex Burrows that he would give him hell and Burrows was thrown out of the game?

[The_Architect]

Tonight has the potential to be the best playoff night (or even hockey night) this year if the Habs, Canucks AND Flyers all get eliminated on the same night..

Oh how it would be great.

[freeweed]

Hmm, now that I look at it... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President%27s_Trophy)

It's happened 5 times in the past 25 years. Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, San Jose, and Washington. 7 times the President's Trophy winner won the cup. So it's pretty much a crapshoot.

[Vercingetorix]

I have a feeling Vancouver will get it done. I just don't see the Hawks winning four in a row, and let's face it, they got the breaks last game. Now it's Vancouver's turn to get the breaks.

I think Montreal will win tonight to make for an exciting game seven. Philly should win, they've been by far the better team, but they need some goaltending. I'm predicting a Buffalo win.

[MrOilers]

I like how Mike Gillis (GM of Canucks) goes on to complain about how bad the officiating is, and how Chicago is getting all the calls and Vancouver doesn't get any. :haha:

Now I can see where the rest of their teammates and fans get the "blame game" from. What a bunch of whiners.

Show me a penalty deserving of the Hawks, and I'll show you one deserving of the Canucks. It's been called evenly - whether it's evenly bad, or evenly good, it's been even. Every series is like this.

I was in Vegas a couple of weeks ago and Vancouver was the odds on favorites to win if you were betting. Here are the odds they were offering:

I'm confident Van will win in the end. Like I said before, they outplayed the Hawks last game. They just need to go out and play the same way they did last game and chances are they'll win this time.

Dan Tencer speaks on Vancouver canucks and fans

http://www.630ched.com/Blogs/DanTencersBlog2/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryID=10230350

Is this guy a respected voice in Edmonton?

He thinks that Luongo has won a Vezina Trophy. I'm pretty sure 99.9% of Canuck fans have never heard of Dan Tensor, yet he thinks Canuck fans are blaming him, along with Gary Bettman and the referrees for their troubles. And he goes on to criticize Vancouver's safe injection site.

Surely you could find a more sophisticated representative for Edmonton than this guy?

[Ayreonaut]

I think Vancouver will win, but I really hope they complete the choke.

[MrOilers]

Surely you could find a more sophisticated representative for Edmonton than this guy?

Oh, Edmonton could can find many people better than Dan Tencer.

Only 630 CHED can't.

[Yume-sama]

Habs fans already throwing garbage on the ice. At least they came prepared for their riot.

Early whistle on a puck that crossed the line. Cue riot.

I'm not one claiming Vancouver fans to be sane.

Game 7 tomorrow will be exciting. The Habs' 5 on 5 play this series has looked very similar to the garbage thrown on the ice.

Now for the Canucks vs. Hawks game :D

[artvandelay]

game time! Let's go Hawks!

[Urban_Genius]

Game Seven, the best two words in hockey!
Go Hawks!

[SpikePhanta]

Emery, Langkow and Laperriere are nominees for the Masterson trophy.

[Nicko999]

Cammalleri is a PLAYOFF MONSTER!!!

http://bit.ly/gAYd2a

About as clutch as you can get in the NHL. He has 10 pts (7 goals) in 7 elimination games with the Habs.


Price gave up a softie but otherwise was pretty solid.

[Nicko999]

The Sabres are done...

11 teams left in the race!!!

[Darkoshvilli]

We're so awesome.

[Dwils01]

1-1 tie with less than 2 minutes looks like overtime. Vancouver is pretty much done.
As I was typing this Chicago just scored the tying goal. I thought Van might actually pull it off.

[Yume-sama]

This OT will be INTENSE!! Still say the Canucks will win.

[Urban_Genius]

You don't like this. You don't like hockey. Period.
I was sure that Toews would score in game 7. He's too good not to, but that was just sick. There's a reason he's a captain at 22 with a Stanley Cup and Olympic gold medal.

Chicago wins in OT.
Crawford > Luongo

[David1gray]

I WAS GONNA GO TO BED AHHHHH!!!!! LOL its 1:45am here

[Nicko999]

Oh my... 2 min left in the game and you're on the PP leading 1-0. If Vancouver loses, this will be the worst choke in NHL history. Hopefully they score early in that OT.

[Denscity]

Kesler will win it.

[Ayreonaut]

Toews has been a man on a mission tonight from the first puck drop. If anyone deserved that, it was him.

That said, Kesler has played a great game too (any idea why the Kesler-Burrows-Raymond line was split up?).

[logan5]

Chance after chance after chance to make it 2-0 and then give up a SH goal. We're not meant to win this game.

Or maybe we are, what do I know?

[Yume-sama]

Oh holy hell.

[Yume-sama]

Horrendous giveaway. Canucks win~!

[SpikePhanta]

BURROWS First round OT winner again!

[freeweed]

Congrats Canucks, but I have to admit: for those folks who think the shootout is a coin toss, well, sometimes game 7 OT feels exactly like that. The first fluke wins it all.

Edit: on a night when Canada could have been completely knocked out, both teams manage a win. Time to jump on the bandwagons for me. :haha:

[logan5]

Burrows and Kesler, the heart and soul of the Canucks!

I'm stoked.

[SpikePhanta]

Nashville is gonna be tough, they're a very good defensive team.

[Urban_Genius]

Wow. Vancouver can breathe again. Great game, very entertaining game 7.
I swear there would have been a riot if Chicago scored on that PP. But, Campoli is awful. He was bad all game and not surprised he turned it over. Mind you, good play by Burrows.

[jigglysquishy]

This is a night for Canadian hockey.

Montreal and Vancouver take it to the finals.

[Dwils01]

Thank god the Canucks won, if they lost I would have lost $500.
I thought for sure they would have beaten Chicago in six.
That was too close and if they did lose, I think I would have broken my tv. That would be another $500.
