I don't buy the "they were acting entitled." There's no question they are a different team than last year. The 8-1 run at the end of the season in no way reflected how they were playing. It's the oddest President's Trophy win of all time as most in Vancouver would tell you they had a very average looking year. They were inconsistent at best.

Maybe they'll come out to play in game 4 now that their backs are against the wall. But during game 1 and game 2 it doesn't appear they were taking the Kings seriously at all. It also seems LA has solved their scoring problem.

Since they acquired Carter they have out score the Nucks.

Completely agree they didnt have the same spark or wow factor like they did last year. Last year they just seemed dominant all the time.
- LEAFSfan28191


Ya. I don't think they felt they were entitled. I think they just aren't as good as people thought. Plus AV's style is wearing very thin. I think next season they will be back to top form as they will make some moves and hopefully get a new coach.

after all the trolling that has been done in this theard, I hope the Kings can finish the nucks. If they don't we're all going to get it bad from the Nuck fans.

Well, it sounds like you are trying to justify one riot while condemning another. I would guess that both were started by individuals that had a specific agenda, other than the original purpose of the gathering. To me, the different nature of the events is irrelevant.

No it doesn't...you're just finding a small loop hole in something I said.

I think they just aren't as good of a team as people thought. Not an excuse, but I do think they are a bit tired plus missing their top goal scorer hurts. But I don't think any Canucks fans were truly confident this year. Before the playoffs started I picked them to lose in the first round. My lack of confidence is paying off in my hockey pool at least.

How will that be any different from normal.

The Canucks fans are the most consistently obnoxious group on this site. Not far behind, in a tie for second is the Summer 2011 & March 2012 Sabres fans, tied with the Post November Senators fans.

Agreed. If LA gets sloppy VAN has too many guys who can finish.

Nice. I was way over confident about STL and called a sweep. (dummy)

Say they don't get swept and even come back and beat LA. I am still enjoying this now. Their fans and media have been an absolute bunch of babies about it. Go look at other sites or Twitter. Read how they're acting about the Dustin Brown hit. It's hideous. I can't stand MTL but I have to admit they're 1 million times the better crowd of people than VAN. At least with MTL there is a real rivalry with Boston. VAN and their fans act just like a spoiled brat when they don't get what want.

Keep crying VAN hopefully all the way to an April tee time.

What's wrong with April tee times? We're getting used to it here in Calgary...

Thanks mang!

Sometimes I enjoy it, sometimes it's a pain in the butt...the complaints from all the saints who claim they were just "distributing facts". It's funny how many people get banned who act like Darcy Tucker did when he'd get a penalty...most innocent guy in the NHL.

He never had time to turn around. It was a blindside hit. On the video you can see players yelling before Brown comes.
- hankthetank


So now its blindside also? (If you were refering to the Brown hit, I couldnet tell) BUT anyway I thought I remember you writing this
The hit was clean, move along.

But more innuendo keeps being added as the thread continues.
This
Hit was a bit cheap in my opinion in that Hank had his head turned behind him.

This
I think Henrik was more vulnerable on this hit than Horton was on Rome's hit.

This
Brown makes contact with Henrik's head as well.


And now its blindside.

There is a slight dichotomy happening here.

Did I stutter?

I know you're not beig a complete ass about it, but do you really think Vancouver fans are going to react positivly to this?

Keep in mind, Micah is not around, but he will be eventually and his tolerence for banning is MUCH shorter than mine...and by MUCH I mean he will probably ban you.
