Canuckelled!

T’was a great ride while it lasted. Can’t believe it ended in such a manner. The Canucks just could not hold a lead.  Not Luongo’s fault on most of the 7 goals last night. The D lapses were too numerous to list here.  Where was the timeout AV?  We could vent more but we’ll drop it and let it be. We lived and died with every shift last night and its gonna take some time to heal.

We’ll be back to our regular blog frequency now that our team is out. Chicago played a great game and one their fans won’t soon forget.  We know we won’t.

DReaded ElimiNATION gaME! ACK!

Tonight’s the night for the Mighty Canucks.  Its win or go home.  Its been a rollercoaster of a ride during this series with the Blackhawks and part of us still can’t believe we are facing elimination.  Seems like we outplayed them most of the time but Chicago just seems to take full advantage of their chances.  We’ve lived and died with every play to this point and tonight will be no different.  No excuses moving fwd team!  Play a great road game and bring the series back home for a 7th game!

Next Rnd Stanley Cup Predictions!

So during the first round we picked 7 of 8 winners but not all in the right amount of games.
Here goes for the next round!

Eastern Conference:

Pittsburgh in 7 over the Capitols
Boston in 6 over the Hurricanes

Western Conference:

Detroit in 6 over the Ducks*
Vancouver in 6 over the Blackhawks

* this series could go either way.  but we’ll go with the depth of the Wings over the depth of the Ducks.
