LOL, CDC is melting down right now.

The Canucks are exactly where we were about 4 years ago. God they are gonna suffer with all of their albatross contracts. I love it. I hope their fans suffer too.

if you move Edler and Schnieder in seperate deals this summer for young forwards they could completely avoid having a potential rebuild in a few years when the Sedins 5on5 play starts to drop (it didn't this year)

plenty of teams need D/goaltending that have young potential top line guys they probably move (Philly/Winnipeg come to mind immediately)

I don't know if you want the Sedin's as the center point of your team. they are great regular season players, but when play and intensity ramps up in the playoffs they really aren't there.

The post on the empty net wasn't a bad break, it was a player being way to casual about it and not bearing down on the rare chances that the Canucks got tonight.

Up until the end of the second period the Sharks had outchanced the Canucks 14-4 and you have a guy flat ironing an open net.

Not enough determination and desire from the Canucks leadership except for Keslers mini burst.

outside of the 2011 series it's been completely 1 sided for about 5 years

some teams just have each others number

No longer the backup, the pressure is clearly getting to him.

If they think it's boarding, then every single hit where a player pins a player to the board in a check is boarding. Because those hits actually occurred at the boards.

Did I look as bad as Schneider in OT? overrated is overrated. Have fun fighting with the Oilers next year for the 2014 #1 pick.

Where do you want Vancouver to go from here? Would you try and move the Sedins?

Well at the end of last season I wanted nothing to do with LA and wanted the Canucks to play San Jose. This year I actually wanted them to play LA and avoid San Jose.

It's possible he is still recovering from his injury and is being pressed into service.

How did that work out in the last two games?

Typical Canuck fan thinking to brag about the regular season.

The regular season is not the playoffs.

[Robbob]

now that it has played out the 10 to 24 power play discrepancy is pretty big over 4 games. One has yo wonder if finally their reputation and antics of embarrassing the officials finally gets them to change the way they play. I think Bieska's comments didn't help and may have made things worse.

karma prevails in the end.

Statistics are for losers.

As good as his regular season save percentage has been, his playoff performance has sucked the last 2 seasons.

I think you're over-rating him.

I love living in the Lower Mainland this time a year. Tomorrow's going to be awesome seeing all the long faces.

Now, NHL 13 and Team 1040 for the rest of the night.

Possible. But if true, someone should be fired for putting in a goalie that is not ready to play.

I think Luongo should have started both games only because something wasn't right with Schneider. If Schneider is healthy he makes some of those saves.

No kidding. Cap going down $6million next year. Goaltending sucks ass. The Sedins playing like Iginla in October and Baby Burrows getting his big raise next year.

Don't worry! you still have Kassian in your cupboards! hahaha

Whether or not other boarding calls are missed doesn't change the fact that hit was the very definition of the call.

It was, which is why qualified people are reviewing it in slow motion and stating as such.

[VANFLAMESFAN]

If that was Tanguay putting Wingles into the boards, there'd be a different tune around here. It's a tough way to go.

The talk of the penalty is taking away talk of the softy Schneider let in.

[the_only_turek_fan]

I would consider moving Schneider.

Wonder if they make some moves or take one more shot at it.
