What a joke that delay of game call was. He deflected a pass.

I like how we've now been reduced to having the Canucks in commercials telling us to not #$@& up our "home".

All they(city/police) need to do is take measures before hand(for once) and be a large presence. They are wussy kids(looters) who think they are getting away with it...not dedicated anarchists who battle police their whole lives. More dogs, more bullies with sticks...problem solved in this case.

The only people these ads are sinking into are people who care already. Many of the rioters probably never saw a commercial during a regular season game....

Personally, I think Vancouver's going to far in outlawing any gatherings. Have you read some of the BS they're going to pull? Overreaction much?

Some food for thought...
VAN 230 GF 187 GA

I understand in comparison to the rest of the season we are perhaps not scoring as much as other teams, or as much as we used to compared to our standards, but consider...

STL 199 GF 147 GA (ranked 22 in the league for GF)

St. Louis has scored 31 less goals this season. Have they let in a lot less goals? Yes of course. However, they are a 2 goalie show, and they are going to have to ride Elliott or Halak in the playoffs. Luongo can certainly equal their level of play in the playoffs they continue to get a similar level of offensive support.


Likely Playoff Opponents in the First Round
SJ 210 GF 196 GA (ranked 12th in the league in terms of GF)
DAL 202 GF 203 GA (ranked 18th in the league in terms of GF)
PHX 200 GF 202 GA (ranked 21st in the league in terms of GF)
LA 175 GF 165 GA (ranked 29th in the league in terms of GF)

When you measure the offensive threat of teams we will be playing in the playoffs, I like our chances. Even when you compare our GA totals against these teams, the only team that is better is LA. Gotta think we could win a lot of games 2-1, etc, despite our current offensive struggles if they continue, or if D. Sedin takes a while to come back.

Schneider - is he playing as good as it sounds on the radio? Kid is worth four first round picks

That home and home series that they have with LA is going to be huge! Either win the division or miss the playoffs.

No worries. Their usual collapse never gets old

Michael Ryder with his 35th goal tonight for Dallas, why doesn't anyone want this guy? (Montreal)

To think if Montreal still had Riberio and Ryder.

Ironic that two guys with skill that didn't fit in Boston (cuz they had skill, obviously) end up tearing it up elsewhere - Ryder and Wheeler.

You bet. Our goalies are far and way our best players of late.

Hopefully Luongo and his contract go, but I'm ok with Schneider getting us some major pieces for the future. That's how good teams stay good!

I think you're onto something here, but instead of using paint; use the blue water from the block party porta-potties. Everyone will be able to see them AND smell them for the next 3 months.

Man, this game needs another goal....

Hopefully for a playmaker. We're lacking some serious creativity in attack these days.
