NHL '12 Playoffs |OT| "The Cup is our destiny this year."

If the Canucks fail to win one of the next two games in Los Angeles, it will truly be the most epic collapse of the season's best regular season franchise in the MODERN HOCKEY ERA.

If Vancouver loses the series, I hope they are swept. That would be really funny.
 
There is no good reason. Vancouver is done. They would have to pull off a Jekyll and Hyde or something to win this series.

I just think that if they DO win the series, it will be with Schneider, not Lou.

It's not like we got destroyed that game, we were way ahead in shots/hits/faceoffs. Unfortunately all that maters is the score, hopefully there will be lots of work on special teams between now and Sunday as that's what's making the difference here. Anyway, completely disappointed...


Where's Kassian lol

I heard his name once or twice at the end of the second. AV has no faith.
 
You don't understand, Schneider has that thing, you know? Like it's just this intangible that will magically change everything.

my guess. Schneider is hung like a moose.

It's weird, but sometimes the rest of the team will plays better with Schneider in net...
 
Canucks lose!

I will cut you.
 
Funny playoffs are funny.

I expect the Canucks to tie up the series. As for the Pens... I doubt it.

but how... we get scored upon on the penalty kill, we get scored upon on the powerplay and we try to sit on luongo and give LA free goals on the 5on5. No idea how this is gonna work lol.
 
@LAKings are u really this cocky after 2 games? Just shows how ignorant u are. I cant wait for u to eat ur words, fucken F--! #gonucksgo !!!

LAKings STFU U F-----!! Its A 7 Game Series U BITCH!! PUSSY


:lol at some of the responses. Do people really take the time to trash talk PR accounts?
 
Fucking hell. Luongo finally starts showing up, and the people in front of him start collapsing. Hardworking as they are, there's really no kind way to put it. Backhand pass to a King, goal. Fall down on the powerplay, breakaway, goal. Three guys stand in front of the net and do little more than fall down to impede a wraparound. If they inexplicably pull Luongo for game 3 (are the people on TV deranged?) and put Schneider in, he isn't going to magically fix this sudden inability to abstain from horrendous gaffes. If the Canucks turn things around, and I goddamn hope they do, it'll be due to the realization that a President's Trophy is piss-poor compensation for a first round exit, and not some metaphysical Schneider Effect.

Series still isn't over and Tabris is as prominent tonight as our power play, so I guess there's the silver lining in all this mess.

Wait for it, if they pull Luongo and win everyone's gonna say it's because of Schneider, and if they keep losing everyone's gonna say it's because they didn't pull Luongo. Vancouver media makes no sense like that.
 
You had me until this. ;).

He has mystical redhead powers. Just wait.
Dates may have ears, but skates don't.

If he's playing poorly, there's at least rationale. Calling for him to be pulled when he's playing well, that's just dogheadfoodprocessor material. I do not fucking comprehend!
 
Riot in April? It'll work.

Some co-workers invited me to watch the game with them. I took a raincheck. Maybe I should've went. More alcohol than at home.
 
Venting on le Gaf and shortly curling up under the covers. With any luck I won't be possessed by vivid dreams of taking a grater to Tabris' head and eating his face in soup.
