The Rite of Spring

[cornettored]

Wow, Canucks actually scored on the power play. Don't start the autopsy while the body's still breathing.

edit: BIEKSA!

Did a Sedin clip Brown in the nose with an elbow? LA got a goal taken away due to an early whistle.

Yeah Hank chicken winged him. But Ref missed it sadly.

[Corvus]

The ever famous "intent to blow" rule.

[NEW.ERA]

Headed back to Vancouver it looks like.

I seriously wish teams could/would turn down penalty shots for an actual power play. There's nothing that kills momentum of a team than a missed penalty shot.

[CS85]

Easy to say that after you miss a penalty shot.

[Kevin W.]

He's right, though. Teams should have the option.

[NEW.ERA]

Yeah, I guess Dank played a roll tonight, but it was a combination of a whole bunch of stuff mainly. Fraser's dumbass penalty and they got away from the physical game, and let Vancouver just roll around untouched tonight.

Must change Sunday, because if Vancouver wins 5. I don't see LA winning this series.

So unless I missed something, we had a controversy free night, unlike the past few days, right?

....I hate the Canucks? Did that work? Are we...are we arguing yet?

I was referring toward the play on ice(like the Torres hit and other brawls).

Well, there was this...

Not suspension worthy, the game misconduct was due punishment enough, IMO.

I hope so. If we don't get all vile and petty toward each other, I don't even know what this thread is anymore.

[Kevin W.]

Well, that Kings/Canucks game was thoroughly disappointing. I guess the riot will just be rescheduled to Sunday night.

[NEW.ERA]

Kay that riot stuff is getting dece annoying. You can only make fun of them if it happens again.

[Kevin W.]

Point taken.

[dbadefense1990]

I hated the way NBC Sports Network showed the CBC feed of the Kings-Nucks game tonight, rather than do their own production. Does NBC hate west-coast hockey that much?

[NJTank]

I think Roberto Luongo can put his house on the market his days in Vancouver are most certainly numbered, he would be a good pick up for somebody, but I think Cory Schneider is now the #1 Goalie for the Canucks.

[Brendan]

Victor Hedman for Roberyo Luongo?

Luongo has been a great player and has been wonderful in the communitty but It's hard to pick him over Schnieder. Schnieder is younger, has a more controlled goaltending stance, has a great personality, and is very intelligent and mentally sharp. If someone will take Luongos contract you have to go with Schnieder.
