Grypho 195 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) Didn't see a GDT, hope nobody minds if I start one. Just saw the National Anthems sung by both teams. The Canadian Anthem was nothing short of amazing, as the singer (don't know his name), held the mic out for the the crowd to sing the entire second verse, which they sang loud and clear. I know most fans from both our teams were rooting for the Nucks over the Stars, and that most fans are also hoping that the Ducks and Nucks take a LOT out of each other in a hard grinding exhausting series that leaves the victor tired and beat up going into Round 3, but is there anyone here rooting for Anaheim in this series? Personally, I'm hoping for the Nucks to even it up, and for a number of reasons, one of which was stated above. GAME ON! EDIT: Sorry about the "Duck" not "Ducks" title, can't edit that unfortunately.

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 A lot of singers in Canada hold out the microphone and let the fans sing the Canadian National Anthem. It is pretty neat I will say. I want the Canucks to win this game. Why? Chris Pronger is lazy and he sucks, and that cannot be tolerated! In reality, I'd like this to be a long, close series. Anything that can get Anaheim worn down/and or Pronger getting hurt again is all the better reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know if an anthem singer in the US tried to do that it would just come out muffled as at least half the crowd would butcher the words! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I'm hoping for the Nucks to even it up, and for a number of reasons, one of which was stated above. Personally, I was rooting for the Stars over the Canucks in the first round. Dallas is no cakewalk, but I think the Sharks/Ducks would have beat each other up more than the Ducks/Canucks.....but perhaps that still remains to be seen..... Also, it is my impression that the majority of people here are going for the Ducks.... GO CANUCKS....and as I type this they score :banana: Edited May 2, 2007 by T-Ruff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I detest the Ducks! The main reason for my hatred is because of Chris Pronger. I have never liked the guy. Go Canucks! Run up the score on those quackers!

Wings_Toledo 233 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 I'm rooting for the Ducks in this one. I absolutely hate the Canucks. Undoubtedly they're basically where they are due to Luongo. The Sedin twins have some strange man love going on for each other and Burrows is a cheap shot artist who hides behind Cowan and other bigger guys when confronted (see the Brendan Morrow incident). Also, Scott Niedermeyer is one of my favorite players and I think it's about time Teemu won a Cup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grypho 195 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) The Nucks are playing fantastically, but taking penalties. BIG mistake with the Ducks. The Nucks PK is on fire right now. A five minute for an accidental high stick that made Selanne bleed, but that 5 on 3 was killed, and now too many men on the ice against Anaheim, which nullified much of their PP against the Nucks. What a great game so far! Certainly not the yawner wake-me-when-it's-over series between the Stars and the Nucks. EDIT: The fact that Niedermeyer and/or Pronger were on all but two shifts in the first period does not bode well for the Ducks, I think. Those are going to be two exhausted forwards by the end of the second. And just as I typed that Niedermeyer took a tripping penalty against Henrik Sedin. Wow, the penalties are flying back and forth in this game! Edited May 2, 2007 by Grypho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grypho 195 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 This game is not what I expected. All the Nucks are a factor, and Luongo's a thief and a half, but here's the strange thing. Stellar penalty kill on the Nucks' part means that Pronger and Niedermeyer are being worked harder than normal, which also means that the Sedin twins are COMPLETELY RESTED! That aspect of it means that third period does NOT look good for the Ducks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aflac9262 211 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 (edited) I have to admit, I have underrated the Canucks. They are a pretty good team. It's more than just Luongo too, they have a lot of hard workers that seem to play a full sixty minutes. On top of that, they block a lot of shots! Perhaps the Wings should take some notes Edited May 2, 2007 by aflac9262 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Go Wings! I'd just rather see us play Anaheim (if we make it that far) just so we don't have to sit through a whole series of boring, trap-style hockey. I think the Canucks may have even surpassed the Devils in terms of most boring team to watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
