Seriously Broken - get your ownf****** life and stop worrying about mine.

Fish in a barrel I say.

Congrats. The Nucks have almost dove and slummed their way to a Cup. That team has actually made me prefer watching Office reruns to watching hockey.

Not gonna lie, that Lucic shot to the back of Burrows head was kind of funny. BOOM!

This is a great, candid article from the Vancouver Sun.  I'm proud of them for laying it out there.

http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/hockey/vancouver-canucks/Canucks+collapse+started+with+fall+Rome/4903011/story.html

I loved this article; they need to hire Cam Cole as the interim Canucks coach as Vigneault is lost at this point.  The fact that he couldn't see anything wrong with this hit (moral relativism based on coaching loyalties) is what bothers me about this whole thing.

"If Horton wasn’t already out before he hit the ice, he was by the time the back of his helmeted head struck the surface — and the helmet might well have saved his life."

I stated this very thing to my girlfriend last night about this type of hit.  Without his helmet, Horton is most likely dead after a hit of that magnitude.  Fans love to talk about how Kronwall stones people at the blue line, however the puck being in possession is the key to determining the difference between a hockey play and a late hit.  In the case of this hit on Horton, what I don't like about it is how late the hit occurs.  To me, hockey needs to be about respect between players.  I would have had no issue if a hip check had been placed as that would have been enough of a wake up call for Horton to keep his head up at center ice (Insert Mickey Redmond's voice here).  However, Vancouver opted to play the game differently and now they've woken a sleeping giant.  The Canucks trainer is going to be having some long nights over the next week or so.

I think the Lucic shove to Mason Raymond is great. (1:08)
Concentrating on chirping Burrows, he barely even looks at him, gives him a shove that just screams, "GTFOH. I'm busy."

Take a chill pill man. Friendly ribbing like that is older than all of us.

Wankouver has tonight's game in the bag; the King of Canada will be in attendance. If he's not dressed up like this, there may be a third "Green Man".

I don't see that as ribbing at all. Seems like he is goading a visiting fan simply because his team lost.

Go Bruins!

[Jusek]

1-0! I'm loving this game!

[Detroit # 1 Fan]

Marchand is such a dirtbag. Between him, Burrows, and Lapierre there's alot of players to hate in this series. (Gonna leave you out of this for now Lucic, but i'm sure you'll do something to piss me off soon.)

[WorkingOvertime]

Boston needs to keep this up.

[Hockeytown0001]

3-0 Bruins, like to see that.

[Detroit # 1 Fan]

Ryder sniped Luongo, hard. Cant believe this swing of momentum in the series, or Luongo giving up 11 goals in 5 periods.. his critics are gonna come back in waves

Also: Ken Holland in the house!

canucks choking look horrible!

Well, the 4.2 million guy Ballard hasn't been very good at replacing Rome.

[hooon]

This game rules.

I love seeing the Canucks go down like this, they deserve it so much.
