Canucks-Hawks Game Four Open Thread.


Well, we are now 90 minutes away from what could be the final game of this rivalry playoff series between LSF darlings, the Vancouver Canucks and the Chicago Blackhawks. 

Much has been made of Brent Seabrook being out thanks to the Raffi Torres hit in game three, and I'm kind of worried that something really bad could happen if Chicago feels this game slipping out of their hands. I would hope that they'd be a little classier than that, but if the skate was on the other foot, I'd be hoping for some revenge as I'm sure Jon is hoping for right now. Just think back to Steve Moore when you want revenge, and that should cool you down. Bolland being back should be kind of a concern for Hawk fans, in my opinion. Doesn't it seem like he's being rushed back from his concussion a little early just because Chicago has a need? Remember, it's just a game. Let's not risk someone's life over it. Am I right?

With the game starting at 5, I'll be watching via the DVR with some delay, so keep that in mind. Other than that, let's go nuts with comments.

Go Canucks Go.

I'm getting your Canucks jersey all ready for when you need to pay up on our bet.

Thomas Tighe said...

Are you coming up with your story to tell the strangers about why you love the Canucks so much? Man, I can't wait!

Thomas Tighe said...

Chicago has been swept 18 times in their playoff history. Hmm. 19 is such a better number.

J said...

Damn man. Raffi pump you up 2day you are very sure that its over. Hasty my friend. I feel like you need to eat your words BIG TIME if it aint over.

Thomas Tighe said...

Haha. I'm in a good spot to be confident. If we win, I'm good. If we lose, I'm still feeling confident that we'll win the series. It's a good spot, and a spot you know all to well from the last two playoffs.

T-minus 40 minutes until we start to turn the Madhouse into the Sadhouse. Go ahead and use that one, if you'd like.

but a lil more cocky eh

Thomas Tighe said...

Alright, so Bieksa got straight clowned on that opening goal for Chicago. Comeback time.

Thomas Tighe said...

Salo on the PP!!! Bounced off two players on the slapper from the blue line. Pinball goal, and we're all even.

Thomas Tighe said...

Dude, Duncan Keith is a bitch for that late hit on Hansen here in the 1st. So weak.

Thomas Tighe said...

Ryan Johnson thinks he's tough for boarding Bieksa? Come on, Balls! You're one of us!! 6:30 to go in the 1st, 1-1.

Thomas Tighe said...

I'm not sure if Jon's posting because I'm behind on the DVR and don't want to see if he has left spoilers. But after seeing Edler just get dumped on his butt after the last play (15:21 in the second) and then not retaliate, I just wanted to say that I'm proud of Coach V for working with these giys to not fight back and not take stupid penalties...except too many men on the ice.

Thomas Tighe said...

Campbell scores for CHI on a nice pass from some fool in an 88 jersey. 1-2, and be sure that it was a really nice shot that beat Bobby Lu.

J said...

they fight back

Thomas Tighe said...

The quick goal by Keith to make it 1-3 makes me sick. Don't get too comfortable, Jon, we're coming back.

Thomas Tighe said...

Bolland? Damnit! I'm starting to feel like a dumbass, down 1-4 in the 2nd.

Thomas Tighe said...

As CHI gets another power play at the end of the second, is anyone else starting to notice they are playing with a bit of a swagger? That's not good, for Canuck fans.

Thomas Tighe said...

Well, now that it's 1-5, I'm done commenting. I guess I'm eating my words, eh Jon?

J said...

JUST HAPPY WE RUINED THE MOST IMPORTANT GAME OF THE SEASON ACCORDING TO NUCKS MISCONDUCT... I had caps on didnt mean to but Im headed to the gym and dont wanna re type or punctuate

When asked about Kevin Bieksa jumping Viktor Stalberg in the third period, Scott said: “Bieksa? What a joke. He was talking how I was going to get beat wide and first shift [Bryan] Bickell [expletive] beats him. He needs skating lessons, not me." - John Scott

Thomas Tighe said...

Yeah, John Scott is a better skater than Bieksa. Give me a break, he wouldn't even be playing if Seabrook wasn't hurt. F him.
