Just turned the game on, 10 goals? Jesus Christ thats a lot

 

[Gtown81]

maybe its just me, but it seems like guys are exaggerating quite a bit

 

[snipezo]

Canucks don't look like a desperate team at all.

 

[snipezo]

What a difference did Daniel make tonight.

 

[snickers95]

If the Canucks keep Luongo instead of Schneider, because they have two starting goalies right now, I won't believe my eyes.

 

[snickers95]

Oh boys Legwand's having himself a game here!

 

[snickers95]

If someone hadda told me Detroit would be the first team out at the beginning of the playoffs, I woulda thought they were nuts

 

[snipezo]

I don't know why everyone is blaming it on Luongo. He wasn't all too bad in the games he played. I'm not gonna lie, I've been very critical of him the past few years but he's not the one to blame this time. Can u blame him for the lack of scoring, lack of energy and mental lapses? No freaking way. I don't want to take anything away from Schneider but he's actually had a bit of luck on his side.

 

[snickers95]

Yeah, I think Luongo is a great goalie don't get me wrong, but age plays a factor as well and what's Schneider 6 or 7 years younger? Keeping both of them is hard to do because of the cap, and throwing away Schneider is just plain crazy man

We need Gaborik to get hot if we're even going to make it past a couple rounds.

 

[Yankees2772]

Or just this round.

It's not Gabs fault, it's the mentality of the team. We are playing waaaaaay too defensive once we score. Got to model after the Flyers in their series: take a lead, and keep playing aggressive to make it bigger.

exactly, they have the size and the grit in Boyle, Callahan, Dubinsky, Staal and others

plus they have the goaltending that can take them to the finals

Trading Schneider doesn't mean they're throwing them away at all. If the Canucks could get a GREAT offer for Schneids, I'm sure the Canucks would consider trading him. Although if the Canucks do trade Luongo, Tampa would probably be the good fit.

Well Gaborik is really what makes this offense goes. When he scores, everyone scores.

But yes I agree.

 

[snipezo]

Flyers winning 4-1. I love it lol.

 

[NV]

After those two wins I thought Pittsburgh would carry the momentum and at least get it to 7. But they're in trouble now.

 

[NV]

Bye Bye Pitt.

Nah man, Philly's too good of a team to lose 4 in a row like that

 

[iInsulin]

As excited I am to get a little bit of a break from the Flyers I wish they could be playing tonight. What a series.
