Canucks-Blackhawks Game 7 Fan Experience

April 27, 2011 Ken Li 2 Comments Game Recap, Playoffs

I’ve been to two game sevens now. My record stands at .500, but both times, a flair for the dramatic has kept Canucks fans’ hearts pumping non-stop, clammy hands clenched, and knees and feet shaking uncontrollably. My first game seven was in 2004, when the Canucks played the Flames (the game where Matt Cooke scored shorthanded with five seconds left, only to have the Flames respond on the same PP in OT), but that will have to wait for another time. My second, was tonight.

Do or Die: Canucks-Blackhawks Game 7 Preview

April 25, 2011 Rob 0 Comments Game Preview

For the first time in the Canucks-Blackhawks Trilogy, we will have a game 7. And it will happen in the most improbable way. As you must know by now, the Canucks have squandered a 3-0 series lead and now face elimination on Tuesday night.

"Dear Hockey Gods…"

April 25, 2011 Rob 2 Comments Game Preview, Random

Dear Hockey Gods, Please forgive me. Check that, please forgive us. By “us”, I of course mean Canuck Nation. As a whole, we mocked the Chicago Blackhawks when we were up 3 games to 0. We began to ask Theo Fleury to eat his words, after he predicted a first round exit. And of course, I wrote a blog urging fans to get their brooms ready. As sure as it seemed, we have clearly upset you (the hockey gods). It’s the only way to explain two blowout losses in games 4 and 5 and a crushing overtime defeat in game 6.

My Message to Vigneault: Start Luongo in Game 7

April 25, 2011 Rob 0 Comments Game Recap

Frankly, I’m amazed at the amount of debate over which goalie should start in game 7 for the Canucks-Blackhawks series. Currently on the Team 1040 website, their poll shows 53% in favour of Luongo, 47% in favour of Schneider.

The Canucks Have Bulletin Board Material for Game 6

April 22, 2011 Rob 0 Comments Game Preview

In advance of game 6 in Chicago, the Canucks must find some way to re-find their form, just as the Chicago Blackhawks did before game 4. Chicago was inspired by their fallen teammate, Brent Seabrook, and used it as a rallying point. Well then, Alain Vigneault, I have something for you. Check that, I have something for the bulletin board.

Canucks Lose Game 5… PANIC!

April 21, 2011 Rob 0 Comments Game Recap

Well, did anyone see that coming? After spanking the Canucks 7-2 in game 4, they followed that up with another beat down in game 5. So here we are, nervous, panicking. Is it justified? Absolutely yes. Chicago has all of the momentum and Vancouver will need to turn it around.

New Canucks Song: Kyprios – How the West Was One

April 20, 2011 Rob 2 Comments Canucks Song

There are a lot of Canucks songs being produced right now, as often happens come playoff time when the team is playing well, perhaps none better than this song by Kyprios. It’s been out for a couple of weeks, but deserves to be posted anyway. Besides, we Canuck fans could use a little cheering up after last night’s game. Enjoy!

Chicago Hope: Blackhawks Win Game 4

April 19, 2011 Rob 0 Comments Game Recap

Hey, did you read my blog posting yesterday titled: “Canucks-Blackhawks Game 4 Preview – Get Your Brooms Ready”? It appears some of the Canucks did, because they looked like an overconfident team in game 4. The Blackhawks have life.

Canucks-Blackhawks Game 4 Preview – Get Your Brooms Ready

April 19, 2011 Rob 0 Comments Game Preview, Game Recap

As the Canucks and Blackhawks head into game 4, I have come to the conclusion that the Canucks are just too talented, too deep and too healthy for the Chicago Blackhawks. The Hawks look tired. Patrick Sharp, Troy Brouwer and maybe even Jonathan Toews are playing hurt. On top of that, they’re playing without the injured Dave Bolland and Tomas Kopecky. The Canucks are without Manny Malhotra, but other than that, they’re as healthy as you could expect at this time of the year.

No Suspension for Raffi Torres… I'm Confused

April 18, 2011 Rob 0 Comments Injury, Suspension

Unless you missed game 3 of the Blackhawks-Canucks series and are living under a rock, you already know that this Raffi Torres hit on Brent Seabrook has been a hot topic in the last 24 hours:
