Good Bye My Friends

In one very depressing, confusing game, the Anahiem Ducks have eliminated the Vancouver canucks from the 2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs. We played tough and we played smart but the puck just wouldn't go in the net for us! To Begin I'd like to say how proud of the Canucks I am this year for making this far. Also to Dave Nonis, it took me a good few months to get over losing Bertuzzi but watching Luongo now and what he means to this team, makes me happier then i ever was watching Bert.

The game started tough and continued that way until the very end. A controversial goal by the Ducks started Vancouvers uphill battle. "In regulation, Luongo gave up just one goal, a disputed Samuel Pahlsson shot that went over him early in the second when he was bowled over and smothered in his crease by Travis Moen."(SI Canucks Page)

Burrows tied it up on a rebound from a Josh Green shot half way through the third and hope was reignited. The Canadian club just couldn't get it done when oppertunity was knocking.

Early in the second overtime Jannick Hansen was hammered off the puck and onto the ice by Rob Niedermayer and his brother Scott was there to catch the puck from leaving the zone. Just simply throwing the rubber towards the net...it went it. And my heart stopped, my head dropped and I'm pretty sure i used word, unapporpiate right now...it was over.

Luongo thought Niedermayer was going to get an elbowing penalty so he put his hand up and looked at the ref. He reacted late to Scotty's shot.

Louie is trying to taken the blame, meanwhile he was the best Canucks on the ice. As soon as the whistle went Roberto dropped to the ice and with his head down, he just laid there, motionless for a few second as his teammates serounded him with condolences.

On the lighter side at the beginning of OT luongo was a no show, due to equipment problems. Dany Sabourin took center stage as Dave Nonis looked on with great confusion. Sabby only played 3 and a half minutes in Anahiem but they were a long 3:34 minutes. Facing 5 shots and making two minor and three huge saves. When Luongo re-entered the ice surface he made sure Dany knew how well he did and how much he appreicated his courage and strength to just step in and step it up.

So now its over and the seasons done for the boys, it's been a great one and I'm glad we made it this far. So Thanks for the great season and see you soon.

SSSWWWEEEEEEEETTTT

AH im so excited..the cancuks won last night and are going to round two against Anahiem. When watching the game i saw Matty shot and Linden in front and i didn't know it went in until Trev's arms went up and I jumped up and was all excited and .....pretty muich i when crazy. it was sooo awsume! then Pyatt and Smolinski scored empty netters just to be safe. wow! and it was so cute cuz Morrison made the pass to Pyatt to score and Mo was jumping up and down, he was so excited! Anywho it was a good lol.
Dallas scored first, Lundqvist. The the Canucks first goalwas a beauty. Daniel was tied up on the side boards and made a perfect back pass, without looking, to his brother on the other side of Turco and Henrik one-timered it to the top cornor. It was Nice. But yeah they start again Wednesday In Anahiem.

Devils in...canucks...?

So the devils are going to round two of the playoffs against Ottawa. Brodeur pulling it together finally lol. It should be a fun series to watch.

Game 7 of the Vancouver, Dallas series it tonight and i'm nervous and excited of course. I hope they win and move on but if not it's still and improvement from last years. So Congrats to boy, Devils and Canucks.

I'll leave with a picture (Brian Gionta)

Oh...it's in the air

So the playoffs started last night and you can feel it in the air. It's awsum! lol. I love it pretty much all i did last night was watch hockey....until about 3:15ish in the morning...lol
So the Canucks played Dallas last night and the game went into th 4th OT before Daniel feed Henrik infront of Turco to take the lead in the series. It was really long, yet amazing. Ohlund scored..yay. Daniel, Naslund, Ohlund, Smoliski and Henril scored for the Canucks with Morrow, Daley, Miettinen and Nagy scored for the Stars. Luongo had 76 shots in 137 minuts of play and came out with the win and the series lead.
The Devils play tonight against Tampa so hopefully they take the lead as well....but we'll see soon!

Playoff run

Both the Canucks and the Devils will be making a playoff run this season. Now the perfect Stanley cup finals would of course be New Jersey against the Canucks. That would be awesome, although Vancouver pulling ahead of the Devils on my favorites list means i would be cheering for them, but every time the red pop in a goal I'd still have a smile on my face. so In general i would end up quiet content but it would be to my complete satisfaction if the Canucks brought the cup home. Either way both teams are in the playoffs and I hope both of them do really well. For Vancouver this is already a big step, as they missed the post season by 3 points last season.

Good Luck Boys!

Heres a cool pic of Mo and Cooke at practice today!
