What a dispicable effort by the Canucks

[Canuck_4_Life]

Fire Alain. Alain has gotta go. He's lost control of the team; teh players are tuning him out.

Alain had better do some yelling at the players and shake the paint from the walls and bounce some garbage cans off the locker room walls and set off some firecrackers like Harry Neale once did and wake this damn team up.

Shape up Alain or ship out. We're tired of mediocrity in this town. If there's ever an appropriate time to slam some hockey sticks and garbage cans against the locker room walls and do a blow up in front of the players, it's NOW, not Tuesday morning.

And if Alain ain't gonna do a blow up, then the G.M. better do it or the owner. And the yelling better happen soon or the season is toast

I suppose you're in favour of Nelson Skalbania owning the Canucks and Lions?

[TheLionKing]

What a brilliant idea ! Let's fire Alain Vigneault and bring someone in and institute another system going into game 7. That otta confused the Stars. Brilliant !

[Balraj]

Not every team is gonna score every night, and if the "noise" in these buildings or the butts in the seats isn't enough for you then maybe you just shouldn't go.

okay, let's approach this from another angle...

if Vancouver loses the series, who pays the price?

The person who wants noise. 8)

[TheLionKing]

Why should anyone "pay the price" if the Canucks lose Monday. At the beginning of the season most experts picked the Canucks to miss the playoffs. Sheesh, another brilliant post by 120dB

We do, because we'll have to listen to you whine and complain.

whoooosh

air being let out bandwagon tires

Typical Canucks, typical canuck fans

[TheLionKing]

The only whining is 120dB

What the Canucks do need is a coach like Dave Ritchie who's not afraid to shake the paint off the walls the way he did with the Lions defense early last season when they were playing lousy.

Apparently the Canucks players did get "their ears cleaned out" at today's practice (News 1130 quote) so we'll put this matter to rest for 24 hours and see how the players respond. Cool?

No, not cool *personal insult removed-Mod* ... you told us you were heading to Seattle.

Get going.

[TheLionKing]

We're stuck with him. Seattle doesn't want him; he makes too much NOISE :lol:

Let's see now. Vancouver finishes the season with 105 points. Dallas finishes with 107 points. By virtue of the playoff set up and divisional winners getting the top 3 seeds the Canucks get home ice advantage despite finishing 6th in the conference. They split 4 games all by 2-1 scores. Both teams are virtually clones of each other in style and talent. If there ever was an NHL playoff definition of tossup this series was it. Right from the start it smelled of going 7 games and probably being decided by who gets the right break or bounce in OT in Game 7. I'm failing to see any reason why anyone would think otherwise.

In today's NHL you might find 1 or at most 2 first round series where the bottom seed prevailing could be considered an upset. This year I thought only the Islanders beating Buffalo would be an upset. It turns out Calgary over Detroit would have been an upset given how much Detroit dominated play. Even then it was only a bounce the wrong way to going to Game 7. Mike Babcock wouldn't have paid the price in Detroit had they lost so there's no reason to expect anyone in Vancouver would be paying the price should they lose a series that was a dead heat to begin with. Let's not forget most figured the Canucks would struggle to make the playoffs and here they are going to Game 7 against a team tied with the 4th best record in the NHL this year.

Go Canucks!!
