what a great game... solid goaltending. ( luongo had no chance on the two goals) defense was solid ( except mitchell's penalties) penalty killing was exceptional powerplay was effective
overall good result... we got knocked around a bit in the first but we played a good road game to come back and take the momemtum away in the 2nd.
Now that it's 3-0 i guarantee paul kariya will be in the lineup for game 4
how much better are the playoffs compared to regular season games
there is a noticeable level of intensity that just raises the level of play, the puck battles and the effort the players give makes for much more entertaining hockey imo, the players really go at one another trying to send a message because more often than not its a long series
plus the crowd is certainly much more into it, makes the games more enjoyable when u have such great ambiance

lol i was just stating that playoffs are much better :p rhetorical question
^^Pyatt's great. He does his job better than most 3rd/4th liners on our team. Its next to never Pyatt the one guilty of not getting the puck out. He hits, skates well, blocks shots and kills penalties. Not sure what else you want for 1.5
we got outplayed pretty bad after it got tied up too, chances both ways but the blues dominated most of the play and just couldnt put it past lu even with all that pp time
and for all you guys hating on Pyatt, try watching a game instead of judging players by their fantasy output Pyatt skates well for a big guy, is an integral part of the PK, and is 3rd amongst Canuck forwards in hits (ahead of both Kesler and Burrows mind you). Regarding mistakes, Pyatt 3rd best amongst forwards (that takes a regular shift) on the team in terms of giving the puck away. He has 7 more take aways than giveaways. Good chance he won't be re-signed because we have Bernier now, but Pyatt is definitely no slouch. Without Bernier, hes the unsung hero hands down. Know your shit pls.

ALL ABOARD!!
and i will say that the sea of red is quite impressive. it must be embarassing for a flames fan to go without a flames jersey or shirt.

Mason, Thomas and Backstrom.

good games tonite with sharks/ducks, hawks/flames
can see both series go 7, but i think the flames are really busted up and dion phaneuf isnt playing so hawks should take it to em and close it up
getzlaf got to him and was much more dominant overall
chicago was prob a slightly better matchup than detroit for the nucks, excited to see the 2nd round start up
couple of game 7's tomor, looking for caps and canes to win
TM or season holder face value?
