If it was Bieksa on Richards, you would be saying it was a clean hit.
If the Canucks were up 3-0, this thread wouldn't exist.
You're trying to point fingers wherever you can to justify getting man handled by the Kings.
We don't focus on diving or getting calls..... we focus on checking, blocking shots, passing, and scoring. Something your team might want to consider doing.
Pointing a finger at the players worked for game 1 and 2, now it's AV's fault.

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
its not the players fault, or the GM's, or AV's as much as you wish it was. Its all about the Green Men, clearly they havent been the intimidating/inspiring presence they were last year.

I'm going to yet again remind everyone that trolling is unwelcome. If you want to talk about how the Canucks are losing, please do it in a respectful fashion.
Daniel is going to take part in a full practice with the team tomorrow, could play Wednesday. I hope they just sit him out. Don't risk his career with a lost cause.

Jonathan Toews openly admitted to coming back too soon from a concussion earlier this season and making it worse. For Daniel's sake, here's hoping he's not doing the same thing. As passionate as we all are, I don't think anyone wants to see him ruin his career or worse by attempting to come back early to play in a 3-0 series.

I'm sure there's a violation of the concussion protocol the league implemented in there somewhere.

Agreed on Daniel sitting out... Disagree on calling this series a "lost cause". I think it breaks down pretty well for us. Finally win one on the road... Due to win one at home... Belief creeps in and we win another on the road. Game 7, anything can happen.

I think it's pretty clear this is a blind side hit. But like I said, the NHL removed the penalty for blindside hits last year.
I never said it was a head shot, I simply said that his shoulder makes contact with Henrik's head. It's on a follow through.
I think blindside hits like this are cheap, but still clean. The same reason I thought the Rome hit on Horton was clean. It was a blindside hit as well. Given it was .5 seconds later. Look at the stuff Marchand does but doesn't get called for. Clean can still be cheap. - hankthetank
??? Marchand gets called for everything. Stuff that was legal last year gets him 5 games this year.

Maybe worth giving it a shot for game 6 or 7 if the Canucks can take the next couple? I just think putting Daniel in place of Hank on that Brown hit, and this suddenly doesn't sound like such a good idea.

I agree. You know they will be after him all game.

Yeah....I wonder what he actually did. Going through his final few posts it looks like he (hold on to your seats cause this is a shocker) was trolling in the Leafs blog.

I think the worse thread is the Flyer thread. I posted a smiley face on there one night after a loss and got 2 days.
