Whatever, you obviously are one of those people who have a hate on for players on a team that is tops of the league.

Sedins had 9 and 10 points in the first 2 rounds. That is pretty damn good, better than probably 95% of the league, which they consistently are at that top 5% of the league.

Who cares what percentage of a game is special teams? The Canucks are put together to excell at special teams play, because that is what wins in the playoffs.

To be consistent means to do the same thing day in and day out. This is of course not the official definition but I figured I would have to dumb it down a few notches for you to comprehend. (Now, your still with me right?)

You state that over 18 games (thanks, I understand the math) 3 of the top 5 are Canucks......that is great news you should be very proud of that. However, over the first two series how many points did the Sedins have? Where they able to, game in and game out provide sound offense? (I won't even go into there defense, because any hockey fan knows they don't have any). This doesn't sound very consistent to me.

I will even go one step further and break down "consistency" in a simple example (my 4 year old nephew was able to understand this concept, so I am hoping it's not over your head)

Player 1:
scores 0 goals in game 1
scores 0 goals in game 2
scores 0 goals in game 3
scores 4 goals in game 4

Total goals = 4

Player 2:
scores 1 goal in game 1
scores 1 goal in game 2
scores 1 goal in game 3
scores 1 goal in game 4

Total goals = 4

Now from my example provided who is the more consistent player?

Now your attack about me golfing with the Leafs. HAHAHA, I absolutely hate the Leafs, they are a terrible team with a terrible ownership. Do you think that just because I live in Ontario I am a Leaf fan? Give your head a shake.

Yes, the Sedins can score on the power play, there stats prove they suck the rest of the game (the majority of the time). On what percentage out of the game is a team on a powerplay? 10%, 20%, 30% of the time? That leaves a significant amount of time being played where the Sedins CAN be detrimental to the team. (again both at -4)

Now, back to my game of golf with the Leafs ;)

Kelser has been the biggest cornerstone (overall as goals aren't everything) and is the leading Conn Smyth candidate for a reason. I hated him when he first started with the Canucks for his attitude and stone hands, but it's hard to dislike the effort and determination he's had this year.

A lot of the Sedins minuses came from ~2 games from the Chicago series so if you've been watching you'd know that. +/- isn't shifted during special teams. All I really care about is that the whole team has showed up now, can't have no-shows at this stage of the game!

Pretty much the same place your team has been in every previous year. I'm not sure why you Vancouver fans always need to put other teams down to make yours seem better. You've had a good year and you're on your way but the cup isn't yours yet, that was my only point.

Incredible.... I just saw this today and you are right, great way to start the day.

I'm going to Vancouver Pizza for lunch.

Just a quick fyi, there are exactly the same amout of canadians on both teams, Thomas has never lost to the Canucks and if the Canucks expect to win the series they better average 30+ shots a game or it's series over. Thomas was the #1 goalie this year in save percentage and despite his unorthodox style of play, seems to manage the wins when he has too. So yeah, I am a proud Bruins fan since 67 and have waited a lot longer to see my team in the final as well. So with a big "Hell Yeah" I proudly proclaim that I hope the Canucks live up to their past playoff records and fold like a bad poker hand when they meet the Bruins.
Go Bruins Go!:lol:

I do admit that I cheered for Vancouver to beat San Jose, I can't stand that group of jerk-offs. I really tried getting on board with the Canucks to win the cup but I can't. Much like when calgary made their run, I cheered for them for one game and felt dirty afterwards. Not even a scalding bath in Javex made me feel clean. I heard on an Edmonton sports talk radio show yesterday that one Vancouver fan e-mailed and said Kesler was a better playoff performer than Mark Messier. That was good for a laugh. Anyway, enough said...Go Boston!

CANUCKS FOR THE CUP!

Vancouver doesnt need any more fans out this way, I'm sure boston could use 1 or 2 so good riddance.

not realy, more of what would be expected from a grade 4 student :wink:

on a serious note.. The canuckel heads better be bringing there "A" game, I was hoping Tampa bay would win cuz then Van would be playing against a team that isn't big hitting and when they play against thoes teams they play good, but.... Boston is a big team and they hit, probably the biggest hitting team in the league, but if not then close to it. and we all know what happens to the sudin's when they are getting hit a lot.. they basicly shut down like the beginning of the play offs.

I think to win this series the sudins are going to have to be a lot tougher, and they need to turn Raffi lose with a purpose.

Here's hoping the BRUINS "live up to their past playoff records and fold like a bad poker hand when they meet the" CANUCKS. A quoute that may jog your memory about last year... "In the third period it was Simon Gagne again who doomed the Bruins with a power play goal at 12:52, as the Bruins became just the third team in NHL history to lose a series they once led 3-0."

Ouch, sorry bud, this is our year!

Bruins special teams are special all right. 8% powerplay will not earn the team the cup!

Tough series but the Canucks 3rd and 4th lines will be the straw that breaks the Bruins back. Boston just doesn't have the depth Vancouver does.
And Daryl, as for comparing playoff records one isn't any better than the other. 39 years for Boston and 40 years for Vancouver.

Quote:

Yeah I know, but the Canucks haven't had all 4 lines clicking in one series so I am hoping that plays into the Bruins game, and I am hoping Thomas continues his winning record against them.:biggrin: I am worried about the Bruins special teams, lousy pp thi playoffs. but it all boils down to who will win 4 games. The rule is that in a best of 7 series the better team almost always wins.:mrgreen:

Yeah but they swept them this year.:lol:

This thread is rediculous. It's understandable to have friendly ribbing and loyalties to your fav team, but personal attacks are completely uncalled for and will jeprodise your membership at Canreef.

Chill out people

Always a smile on my face Jason:biggrin:
