Somebody is getting a wee bit testy. Perchance your confidence in the Canucks is not on solid foundations?

Once again, just be quiet and watch them take it home.

What do you mean the Canucks won the cup in..... oh wait never. Perhaps that's why Canuck fans are so "testy" as they have much more to prove and of course more likely loose. Us Albertans have been there, done that.

I am confident they could/will win, but they could also lose, all im saying is that people that dont even have a shot, or wont for a very long time should just keep their mouths shut and let us enjoy it

But lets all be realistic, do you think boston and tampa, who are struggling to just get out of that series are going to have a chance with against the canucks with daniel and hendrik back, kesler seems alright after looking a bit shaky at the beginning of the game, and luongo playing well?

Also this is just the way i look at it, you think that you would want a canadian team to win the cup more than a american team if you are from canada.... I know i was cheering/betting like a mad man for calgary to make it, just so canada could have a better chance and theres one less american team.

Wait a second...you said daniel, hendrik...then you went on to say Canadian team. A quick check of the Canucks roster shows 17 Canadians and 15 imports. Yup, the Canucks are Canada's team!

Just because we are from a certain area doesn't mean we route for that team. Canadian team or not it makes no difference, hockey is Canada's game and has nothing to do with what teams we Canadians cheer for. As someone already pointed out the roster on the Canucks is hardly Canadian.

Where were the twins last series? They are way too inconsistent. Maybe them and Luongo will show up. Maybe not. If they win congrats, but don't start on all this BS about a Canadian team.

If they lose what's your excuse going to be? Saying that Tampa and Boston don't stand a chance is ignorant. Didn't the Canucks almost loose to an 8th seat???

"I am confident they could/will win, but they could also lose"

That doesn't sound so confident!

Vancouver was the #1 seed going into the playoffs and remains the #1 seed. We made it through three series, sometimes without Luongo or the Sedins playing well. Boston or TB certainly won't be an easy ride and anything can happen in a short series, but we are the favourite to win it all.
Having said that, I'm keeping my fingers crossed: Forty years is too long to wait for a cup. And between Van, SJ, Ana, and LA the West coast teams have one cup to show for 123 years of hockey. Christ, we must be due!

This is one of the most realistic and politically correct post I have read from a Canucks fan. I wish more of the Canucks fans were like you.

Maybe then they would have less haters.......

HATE! HATE! HATE!
