TGDT: 4/24 WCQF Game 6 - Canucks (3) @ (2) Blackhawks 6:30PM CSN

[mikita's helmet]

You know, thinking about it, we probably should have won this game, too. The first two goals Vancouver had, were fluky garbage. That first goal took two shitty deflections and then got past Crawford. One off the defenseman's stick, and the second off of Crawford's stick. The second goal, takes an absolutely TERRIBLE bounce over Campoli's stick, and Crawford just didn't seem to be ready for it. Two gift goals, if you ask me. Again, **** the Canucks.

Anything that Crawford saw, he stopped. Bieksa's goal - can't believe I put those two words together - was a bit of a fluke, too.

Gotta love Bolland. He makes me laugh when you see his expressions. You never know what all those voices in his head are saying,

Bolland is awesome. He always seems to turn it up 3 notches in the playoffs. Also even if the Hawks lose game 7 the Nucks are done. Lou is a total headcase now. Especially with getting pulled for this game.

Bolland is the type of guy that is just irreplaceable on a hockey team. He's obviously a little crazy, but that's what makes him so fucking awesome. The way he dropped Hamhuis, and the CRAZY look on his face afterwards? Priceless.... The guy just HATES the other team. Something I love seeing out there.



Oh, and please, for the love of GOD, let Stalberg not be on this team next season. Even in the awesomeness of the last three games, he has sucked rotten ass out there. Completely destroying anything that Toews and Kane get going.

 

[Chaps]

I think he needs to stop the first and the second, to be honest. Looked like the second goal handcuffed him because he wasn't expecting the shot at all.



The Hawks looked TIRED after the second period. Like, really tired. I hope they don't look like that Tuesday.

I dont know if they were tired... they had an extra day off between games... I think the shitty ice had alot to do with it... its hard to skate on shitty ice. Although the Canucks seemed strong towards the end of the game... the bouncing puck fucked up alot of plays for them too.



I was dissappointed the hawks weren't licking their chops when Luongo got put in..they mustered like 2 shots on net in the 3rd.



Aside from the play at the end of the game Hossa was kinda blah... Keith was Blah.... I loved the game Bolland/Bickell had. Campoli fucked up on the 2nd goal... Campbell was ok... Stalberg screws up Toews/Kane. Put Brouwer back with those 2.



I dunno.. The hawks had some jump in the 1st... were drawing penalties... but as soon as it was evident that they were going to have trouble with their passes... they kinda turtled.

I will agree that it seemed the Nucks where taking it to them. Crawford stood tall in the third and OT and the Nuck fans I was watching the game with had no confidence in 7ounogo, and just as they thought something was bound to go in.

 

[Pez68]

That was Keiths turn over. I don't get how different of a game Keith had tonight. Not the same fire the past two games.

All of our defense was sloppy today... It is the biggest concern I have going into game seven. Really, none of them had a good game. Turnovers everywhere.

 

[mikita's helmet]

The great thing about Bolland's shit stirring is that he looks so mild-mannered.

 

[the canadian dream]

Campbell was a bit shaky at moments also. Wasn't the greatest game by the defense as a whole but that's when you need your goalie to stand tall. Craw did. Regardless of the possible one goal he should have had. The end of the night he saved our asses late in the game when the boys did look tired and he outplayed the guys at the other end.



GAME 7!!!!



One game...one freaking game!!!! If game 6 wasn't nerve racking enough game 7 will be a killer.



Bolland stated in the post game he def wants to be on a team that gets into the history book with the come back down 3 games to 0. And **** I love a Dave Bolland interview. i am with Bri..that guy hears voices.

 

[Pez68]

Dave Bolland is quickly becoming my second favorite Blackhawk. The more he talks, the more I watch him play, the more I love him.



I thought Campbell was brutal today. He definitely suffered as a result of the bad ice. Looked like he was skating in mud today.

I really think they've played more confident this year on the road verses home though.



Canucks also may have played their best game of the series tonight as well. They dictated a lot of our sloppy play. Amazing what they do when they aren't playing hack hockey.

I will agree that it seemed the Nucks where taking it to them. Crawford stood tall in the third and OT and the Nuck fans I was watching the game with had no confidence in 7ounogo, and just as they thought something was bound to go in.

Amazing they really stepped up when Lou got in. Trying not to allow ANY shots to get to him.



I saw a stat. While the hawks were out shot, the actually shots attempted were something like 87-40 Hawks. That's crazy.

This game, especially pretty much the entire 3rd period and OT, reminded me of a Dragon Ball Z episode. The one where Gohan and Cell are dueling it out and they are both firing tremendously powerful ka-meh-ha-meh-ha waves at each other for their final attack. Gohan had only one usable arm as he had just deflected a massive KI blast from Cell earlier to save an unconscious Vegata, a former foe but now ally to Earth in face of the greater evil of Cell. And so as the ka-meh-ha-meh-ha waves battled back and forth, Krillin, one of Gohan's best friends, Yamcha, Tien and Piccolo (another one time enemy of the free world but turned ally in face of a greater evil ((which actually the already mentioned Vegeata from years ago))) watched on in awe and horror. And this was their conversation that reminded of the Hawks game:



Tien: How can they keep fighting like that?

Yamcha: They just won't give it up.

Krillin:........one will.

 

[bri]

The team has had a lot of questionable moments all year but woulda, shoulda, coulda, is irrelevant right now, cause none of it can be changed at this point. I just hope that everyone will remember that no matter the outcome Tuesday night, that it took a lot of character to come back from being down 3 games to none and be thankful and respectful for the wonderful moments they have given us over the year. Win or lose, I'll still be here supporting the team I love.

NHL on the fly is having that stat reversed in favor of the Canucks

Of course they are. They said we'd be out last game. LOL

 

[Chaps]

Of course they are. They said we'd be out last game. LOL

Yeah but theres no way the Hawks attempted 87 shots... They got 2 in the 3rd period.

Uuuugh????

Yeah WTF.....

Only thing that concerns me about Bolland is his young injury issues. But that's what you get with players like him. he loves being out there and loves being a little shit disturber and he does it in a fashion where not many can pull off. He isn't the biggest guy but he plays big. Yah he throws in the occasional hack but he picks his spots wisely 90% of the time. And he contributes big time on the scoreboard and I am sold he makes other around him better!!!!



Bolland has def been a series changer so far.



Canuck fans are bitching their mouths off about the slash he delivered to Sedins stick. YAP YAP YAP..these Canuck fans don't watch the hacks and slashes and trips and holds their own team pulls off. Kane was tripped 2 times tonight by my count. Kessler is dong a good job on Toews by HOLDING him 70% of the time.



Anyways......about time the Canuck radio guys start pointing out their own flaws. H Sedin is MIA (thanks Bolland), their depth scoring has disappeared. Smith has more points than any of their depth guys.



What I found interesting was the Canucks started playing better once Torres left the game. Coincidence?

 

[howcho]

I am listening to the TEAM 1040 right now and the caller is complaining about Bolland's hack on Sedins's stick.



I stated to the Canuck Fans in attendence that it was allowed for "Ceremonious Purposes".
