Ok. So I was unable to watch the game last night... but I heard the whole thing (minus the last few minutes) on the radio. It's tough to get a real feel for the game when you are pretty much only relying on the words of the commentators. I have a few things to say though:

Wtf is with all the god damn penalties? Sorry, but this has always irked me re. playoff hockey. Sounds like Bertuzzi was being bullied on bigtime last night (again... I only had the radio).
Now what's with 14 shots on goal? :barf: Precisely. The Canucks are making me sick. A hockey club that was in the tops all year... amount to this is the playoff season? They have some major re-grouping to do. They are playing sloppy hockey in an act of desperation as if they believe they can't beat the Blues. They need to believe that they can, because they can. They have the power, they need to get organised and channel that power at Osgood. Since when have the Canucks been only a power play scoring team? :angry:

They need to get their act together and fast or we are going to have to put up with Chizip for way tooooo many weeks ahead.

I still have faith and believe Vancouver can come through but it's gonna be hard.

I see this series going 6 maybe even 7 games, and I can't yet predict who will be the victor.

well, being the very nice guy that i am, i will help you out

Blues in 5

:wink:

:wave:


:shifty:
 
the canucks need to come on hitting.

give the canucks top line one shift of daylight, meaning they combine for one nice goal, and their confidence will be back.

but wow, are the red wings ever in trouble or WHAT. incredible.
 
the blues will not win the next three games. so not happening.

well angel this is something we can finally agree on. we will not win the next 3 games against the canucks.



because we just need to win 2 to win the series :wink:

:wave:


:shifty:
 
You know what? You are feeling all cocky and rightly so, but I am taking a stand. I refuse to believe that the Canucks will let the Blues take them out. :angry: It's not going to happen. I have faith in my team and they CAN kick some St.Louis ass. I have to believe that they will.
So wipe that smug grin off yer face Chizip cause the series ain't over yet.
 
if you are sooooo confident, wanna make a little wager

such as if the blues win i can make an avatar that you have to use until the blues are knocked out

and f the canucks win you can find or make an avatar for me to use until the canucks are knocked out

it can be nothing obscene mind you, or something that would get each other in trouble, but something fun like "i was wrong, chizip was right" or something like that

if you are so confident lets see ya back it up
 
Game on Chizip. I love this idea! :lol:

If the Canucks win, your avatar or better yet SIGNATURE! has to say something like: YAY for the Canucks! I bow down to the power and beauty that is Angel. This complete with a big annoying spinning Canucks emblem like you have for the Blues! hahaha
 
faaaantastic, it's on then, i will think of what i want for you while i watch the blues dismantle the canuckleheads.

so do you wanna do avatar, sig, or both?

:hmm: let's go out on a limb and say both! For the duration of either teams success in the playoffs.

For an avatar you must have the blues emblem CROSSED out in red with LOSER on it. For the signature... what I said earlier.... or how about:

"I bow down to the beauty and WISDOM that is Angel, expert of all things hockey. Go Canucks!!" Along with the annoyoing gifs I mentioned above.

Game on! :sexywink:
 
haha alright, if you think of something else later feel free to change it, i'll post your sig and avatar right after the blues eliminate the nucks.

man this is gonna be fun :wink:
 
:angry: Nuh huh. You have to tell me what I am in for if I were to possibly lose, although the chances are slim. :sexywink:

... and Iris--> we need you in the cheering section! GO CANUCKS!!
 
haha, well i need time to think about it and come up with a good one, and isnt the suspense the fun part?
 
just testing out a possible sig :wink:

GAME: Vancouver Canucks at St. Louis Blues.

PLAYOFF SERIES: Western Conference quarterfinal; Blues lead 2-1.

TIME: Wednesday, 8:30 p.m. EDT.

Playing without one of their best defensemen didn't prevent the St. Louis Blues from having a successful regular season. That experience may prove beneficial during the playoffs.

St. Louis, playing without future Hall of Fame defenseman Al MacInnis, looks to take a three-games-to-one lead in its Western Conference quarterfinal series against the Vancouver Canucks.


Despite the absence of MacInnis, the Blues held the Canucks to 14 shots and Doug Weight had two goals and an assist, leading St. Louis to a 3-1 victory Monday night in Game 3.

MacInnis likely will miss the rest of this series after injuring his right shoulder on a hit by Vancouver's Todd Bertuzzi in Game 2.

"Obviously, you miss a guy like that," defenseman Chris Pronger said. "But we had guys step up and play great."

Ironically, Pronger, another of the league's best at his position, missed most of the regular season with knee and wrist injuries before returning for the final five games.

"It's something that's happened throughout the whole season: If somebody goes down, somebody comes in and picks up the loose pieces," Pronger said.

The 14 shots was the fewest allowed by the Blues in a playoff game since the Philadelphia Flyers had 14 on April 4, 1968.

With his teammates playing so well in front of him, Chris Osgood needed to make only 13 saves to improve his career playoff record to 43-30. Osgood has allowed just three goals in the series.

"I told Bryce Salvador that he probably blocked more than 10 shots," Osgood said. "As a team we probably blocked 20 shots that would have been at the net."

St. Louis' stifling defense kept Vancouver's top line of Bertuzzi, Markus Naslund and Brendan Morrison in check for the third straight game. The trio has no goals in this series after scoring 125 during the regular season.

"There's not many chances and you have to play solid, be reliable and take the chances when they are there," Naslund said. "It's frustrating right now, no doubt about it."

While Vancouver's best offensive players are struggling, Blues forwards Doug Weight and Pavol Demitra have combined for five goals and five assists in this series.

Weight's performance is particularly satisfying because he had just two points in 10 playoff games last season.

All three of Vancouver's goals in the series have come on the power play - by forward Trent Klatt and defensemen Ed Jovanovski and Marek Malik.

"We directed 59 shots at the net and most of them missed," Canucks coach Marc Crawford said. "That's what we have to improve on. We want to expose their goaltending."

The series moves back to Vancouver for Game 5 on Friday.

HOW THEY GOT HERE: Canucks - 104 points; 4th seed. Blues - 99 points; 5th seed.

PLAYOFF TEAM LEADERS: Canucks - Three with 1 goal; Daniel Sedin, 2 assists; Klatt and Daniel Sedin, 2 points; Bertuzzi, 18 PIM. Blues - Weight, 3 goals; Demitra, 3 assists, Weight and Demitra, 5 points; Barret Jackman, 8 PIM.

PLAYOFF SPECIAL TEAMS: Canucks - Power play: 12.5 percent (3 for 24). Penalty killing: 76.9 percent (20 for 26). Blues - Power play: 23.1 percent (6 for 26). Penalty killing: 87.5 percent (21 for 24).

GOALTENDERS: Canucks - Dan Cloutier (1-2, 3.02 GAA); Alex Auld (no appearances). Blues - Osgood (2-1, 1 SO, 1.01); Brent Johnson (no appearances).

REGULAR SEASON SERIES: Canucks, 2-1-1. The teams combined for 33 goals in four games. Vancouver went 2-0-1 in the first three meetings before the Blues posted a 6-4 victory at home March 18. Morrison had four goals and six points for the Canucks.
