Also, Good god I hope Wednesday is Koivu's last game in an Habs uniform.

Been hoping that for 4 years now. Please, pretty please.

Are there any Detroit players you want punched in the nuts tonight? Also, if they allow signs, look for my THEO FLUERY IS MY ANTI-DRUG sign on TV. I should be near ice level.

All of them.

My arms will be tired tonight.

[C.C.R.]

So I'm perplexed.  First two games I watched intently, wearing my Calgary jersey - and they lose.

Tonight I'm on the road (in Dawson City), and only just now caught the highlights - and they won.

So should I start ignoring the series?   Or maybe it's just the jersey thats unlucky?

How's your playoff beard looking?  I trimmed mine, so I think that's what jinxed the Hawks...

I'm wondering if Monkeybutt really did bring that sign.

There's a whole lot of irony involved in calling Theo Fleury an anti-drug...

Canucks Sweep! 1st sweep in playoff history means this is the best Canucks team ever?

Discuss.

bonus question?

Will the week off ruin them?

I didn't bother. Sorta like the Bluejackets, who didn't bother to play hard.

the best team in Canucks history was a goalpost away from the Stnaley Cup.

a week off should not ruin then, as it allows Sundin to recover from his "lower body injury"

Lou made 47 saves?! wowza.

so we play either Flames or Hawks?

Yep, this team will have to win the cup to be better.

But I think they have the players to do it.  This team has even better goaltending, more speed, better defence (which has a lot to do with the speed of the fowards to recover) and more balanced scoring.

[saskganesh]

no Bure-type talent gamebreaker of course. but Luongo> McLean.

I'll have to wait for the second round to be vindicated.  Either way, the Canucks will be crushed.  Evil will always be punished.

'We'?

Or the Red Wings.  Depends on whether or not the Sharks choke.

hardly. Evil goes mostly unpunished, actually.
