Damn I hate the Flyers in general, but Crosby is a real cheapshot artist. At least he went in a few scrums today, but he's a failure as a leader on that team.

And Fleury is really stinking up the joint.

A lackluster game between Vancouver and Los Angeles. LA is not a very good team, but they are completely outshining Vancouver in every way.

[PRC]

Yep, Quick has been great.  Canucks have not penetrated to the net, Kings just box them out completely.

[Neil]

LOL @ Canucks.

[Valdemar]

Normally I would want Van to win, but this time I want them to lose in 4 so they might release Jannik Hansen for our national team for the WC in Sweden.

Islanders, Dallas and hmm senators? Already released their danes for the WC

Yup. No riots in Vancouver this year.

though you'd think this would be a reason to riot   there was a tweet by the Kings official website after the series went 2-0 that was along the lines " to every Canadian outside of BC: you're welcome"

No, that was after game 1.

Still, if the Canucks force a game 5, we might see some riots.  That'd be nice.

[Jaron]

At the moment, there might be riots. 2-1 Canucks going into period 3.


Penguins give Flyers their comeuppance. :worship:

Jaron, i'm curious how you became a hockey fan?  I'm happy you are, but you don't fit the profile... do tell?

[Jaron]

How do I not fit the profile? I've watched/been a fan since I was 13 or 14. Basketball games have too high a score, I'm only now developing an appreciation for football, baseball and soccer are boring -- I think hockey provides a perfect balance of individual skill and each goal feels like an accomplishment to celebrate.

The CBC guy doing the LA - Vancouver game tonight seemed to really like the Canucks.   

[Valmy]

I cannot recall ever seeing a team down 3 games to none doing what the Pens did tonight.  That was some show.

[Valmy]

No heart is right, wtf canucks?  No cup for Canada this year. Again.

Will Canada: unite behind the mighty Sens?

[HVC]

There goes he sweep
