No, hopefully he's increased his trade value though.

Lapierre lost this game for his team. Every time the Nucks got momentum he took a stupid penalty.

Edler was the worst player on the ice. He was out of position for the only goal. He's my goat for tonight.

OK, now you're making poop up.

The Sedin happened and a discussion insued. I'm allowed at opinion right? I'm allowed to weigh-in right?

Kesler's antics have been an embarrassment. Even Canucks fans have been disgusted by them! I'm no different. Do you actually support how Kesler has played this series?

Lapierre. I've already wasted too much time on him just typing his name here.

Used to like Kesler's game a lot. Hated him, but would have always taken him in Chicago. Now, not so much.

Edler was horrible, but Malhotra has got to get that puck out. Horrible turnover at the blueline.

canucks have outplayed la most of the series, it has been the few turnovers and bad bounces that killed them, dont give up yet, pitts van final can still happen

We know we know, you don't have to remind us.

Schneider is the only player that should be untouchable...obviously the Sedins too, for different reasons though.

Lapierre has been great, this game was not his fault. That second penalty was a bush league call.

A little, but who cares...

The Canucks and their fans felt a sense of entitlement, like we belong back in the final and it was going to happen no matter what.

I know im a Canucks fan, but I was critiquing them all year and everyone said this and that, presidents trophy etc etc... Well it's all caught up to them and sadly I'm proven right again.

You shouldn't be you your team has been badly outplayed the whole series your goalie can't get you threw all your rounds at some point your players actually need to get some shots on net and not rely on a lucky bounce. All your goals have been a lucky bounce and your goalie has made many sick saves kudos to him.

Reckless Driver
A Maple Leafs fan liked to amuse himself by scaring every Flyers fan he saw strutting down the street in an obnoxious hockey jersey. He would swerve his van as if to hit them, then swerve back just missing them.
One day while driving along, he saw a priest. He thought he would do a good deed, so he pulled over and asked the priest, "Where are you going, Father?"
"I'm going to give Mass at St. Francis church, about two miles down the road," replied the priest.
"Climb in, Father. I'll give you a lift!" The priest climbed into the passenger seat, and they continued down the road.
Suddenly, the driver saw a Flyers fan walking down the road, and he instinctively swerved as if to hit him. But, as usual, he swerved back onto the road just in time.
Even though he was certain that he had missed the guy, he still heard a loud THUD. not knowing where the noise came from, he glanced in his mirrors but still didn't see anything.
He then remembered the priest, and he turned to the priest and said, "sorry Father, I almost hit that Flyers fan."
"That's OK," replied the priest "I got him with the door."

Wow were you wrong!
I can't believe you'd think about putting the blame for these loses on AV. He is their best player, so to speak. They have continually been the dominant team this whole series, and the reason is the Canucks have one of the best coaches in the league. Teams always find dry spells where the bounces just don't go their way, unfortunately the canucks ran into that spell 3 weeks before the season ended. The problem is with the team's psyche right now. The only reason this team may have a chance to bounce back with 4 straight wins, would because of their coaching. Now the players just need to grow some bigger kahuna's and start finishing plays like the start them.

Meh, how many legit scoring chances did we have? I can honestly think of maybe 3.

AV & Bowness' sh!tty coaching is a big part of our team's fragile psyche.

Exactly I hate when he puts out the 4th line just to win a face off even if they do win they get scored on and thats what happened this game...
