A few thoughts.
I would rather see that penalty called than all the crappy nearly hooked him calls that get made 10 times a game. At first glance it looked like a dirty hit, which is what the ref saw. After some replays slowed way down I'm a little on the fence but I definitely lean towards penalty.
Reffing had no bearing on the outcome. For the most part the Sharks had the edge in offensive zone pressure which leads to penalties. They were the aggressor and the better skaters, more penalties.
Make no mistake, Luongo wants out. He wanted out last year when he went to Gillis with the trade me request. Luo wants out.
Rumor around the bowels of Rogers was that there could very well be a clean sweep of management Gillis on down to AV. Change is needed and should and will come.
On Schneider and his vaunted save percentage...with goalies it is not about the saves you make it is all about the ones you don't. Schneider still lets in softies and he looked terrible in this playoffs. Puck control was awful. I love the predicament that is the canucks galtending.
These 1040 guys are ######s, especially the guy talking now about running around trying to get to the refs. Your team sucks, deal with it.
