  And squirt off the American Broadcasters due to lost TV advertisement revenue. They researched it years ago and figured the lost revenue would be in the billions because American viewers would drop drastically if it were 2 CDN teams in the playoffs.

 Go Canucks Go!

Vancouver.

Not many other teams have the depth and the discipline of the Canucks. And unlike a dump & chase or a trap team they are also fun to watch. I think it will be a very entertaining road to the cup.

Not a fan of either of these teams but to give the jam to bettman would be tight

Eff em, they got the b-ball playoffs going on.  I'm sure you've heard the stat that says 1/3 of the NHL's revenue comes from the Canadian teams which make up 1/5 of the league.  There's some great American markets and American teams but there are also a few that make me almost hate what the NHL is today.

:D
i will say that reffing has been brutal and inconsistent in many series for BOTH teams playing. i do not get it. Call stuff that should NEVER be called and than let stuff that SHOULD be called not.
Frustrating to watch.

And another thing. Whats with CBC and not having a clock showing time left in powerplays?
Ridiculous.

Good to see NYR win. Too bad Chi town couldn't get it done.

My bf is a DIE HARD Canucks fan but I won't be jumping on the Canucks bandwagon. There is just something about Vancouver Canucks fans that irritates me. Oh right....maybe it's because every time I have gone to the dome for a Calgary/Vancouver game, the canuck fans get right in my face. They are lucky i didn't punch them out.

 I would like to see a Montreal/Vancouver final for sure!

flames fan all the way no matter what you have to stick with your team. no bandwagon jumping here. If canucks continue playing good and lou doesent choke they might just do it. I still think the wings will take them in 7 games.

7-2 for the hawks. ohhh snap that's got to be embarrassing.

IF you are a TRUE Flames fan, than there is no way under any circumstance that you can cheer the Canucks. As a Flames fan, you want them to lose badly. Doesn't matter that they are  a Canadian team. ;)
Flames are #3 on my depth chart. i am Canuck neutral. i dont like Loooseroungo but if they make it to the Finals and its not against Philly than i would cheer them. i can not EVER cheer for Montreal to win a Cup.
Teams i want to see go out first round...Pitt, Wash and Montreal. Hate them all. ;D

Now in fairness to the 14 that voted Canucks, the Question was, who do you think will win the cup?
If the question was, who do you want to win the cup? and 14 answered Canucks than i might have to razz a tad more.
i will state that if the Flyers can't get to the Cup, than i do not want ANY team from the East winning.

You just gotta feel sick if you are a Canucks fan. Choking seems inevitable. :o
Game 7.
Title: Re: NHL Playoffs!!!!!
Post by: AMCJeep on April 25, 2011, 06:25:04 AM
And if it was the Flames, we all know they have never won a game 7 in franchise history.  :P
There's still some hope for Canucks fans and pray their team does not follow in Calgarys footsteps.  :o

You must have a short memory.
Flames beat Edmonton and St.louis both in the 7th game in 86 en route to their first Cup appearance.
In 88 they beat the Canucks in game 7. They then went on to win the Cup.
In 94 they again beat Vancouver in 7.

So, maybe you might PRAY that Vancouver follows Calgary's footsteps, but you are missing one thing Calgary has always had...goaltending. lol.

94 Canucks went to the cup finals... and I'm pretty sure they went through Calgary in round 1 to get there.

*sigh*  I know this because really... as a canucks fan there are not a ton of fond playoff memories... but thats one of them... don't take that from me!

94 refers to the 94/95 season ;)  You are referring to 93/94 when you beat them in 7.

is that the year they rioted because they lost?

Loooseroungo lets out a costly rebound...again.
OT it is.
Total domination by Vancouver but goaltending is the difference. Crawford...WOW!
Loooserlouongo? ok but he gives up way too many rebounds and the last one was costly.

Flyers prevail despite even worse goaltending overall than Vancouver. Total domination by Philly.

i will say that even if Van advances they are no Cup finalist. They quit when they fall behind.

And i guess the NHL put the word out to make sure Montreal and Vancouver advance as the penalties were stacked against their opponents. Calls let go were ridiculous. The final penalty against Chicago? ridiculous considering Keler boarded Kane with no call.

guess thats why they let that slash that broke Kesslers stick in the waning seconds of the game go without a whistle?

like i have said before, this is the worst reffing of first round plyoffs i have ever seen. All teams have been shafted. Tonight, Boston and Chicago were shafted a tad more. i think BOTH penalty shots called were ridiculous.
i also believe that before OT started, the refs realized they blew it with Kessler who could have been given 5mins and a game but got nothing so they come out and call a lame penalty against Vancouver it OT of Game 7. BRUTAL!
Title: Re: NHL Playoffs!!!!!
Post by: YoungFluff03TJ on April 26, 2011, 11:04:26 PM
man these refs are so inconsistent. they call garbage, and miss the big ones (kane was cut after being hit from behind but no call - pathetic) this reffing is atrocious. its not that i dont like this type of hockey - its the old school hockey - the real hockey. but then dont change it to pansy touch hockey if youre not going to call it..........and now van wins.
Title: Re: NHL Playoffs!!!!!
Post by: Spinalguy on April 26, 2011, 11:07:29 PM
Well, Vancouver advances and are no longer a Cup contender favorite. Like the Flyers, goaltending will be the achilles heel.
Unlike Philly, Vancouver quits when down a few goals (game 4 and 5). They need to get some fire in their belly when the going gets tuff. The sisters totally quit in both of those games.
