Someone should take a run at Burrows in game 4 for that snow shower on Quick. Burrows better watch out.

Some of the writers for The Province were speculating during the game that he must be injured, because how else can you explain his play. He has obviously been inconsistent his entire career, but these past three games are alarming...

Hard to believe people ESPN him ranked #4 for the Norris trophy late in the season.

I agree though, it's definitely looking like it's time to shake up the core of this team.

Interesting script that the Canucks have written thus far.

Last season Vancouver was up 3-0 vs. the Hawks in the first round only to see that series go to game 7 OT. Does anyone think that the Canucks have the same heart, character, guts and balls to accomplish what the Blackhawks ALMOST did in the first round last season?

Game 4 will speak volumes about the character of this Canucks team.

They made it to game 7 of the Stanley cup finals last year, I think they can handle pressure better than most teams.

It's obvious there are some problems with team chemistry this season, and injuries have definitely taken their toll. Daniel Sedin is out and Kesler isn't the same player.

- Brandon_Lee


They lost 4-0 at home. Sounds like a team that likes pressure. 7-1 in the first 2, 7-8 in the final 4 of every series. Not a good record for a runner up.

You could have used a hockey reference like flyers 2 years ago but judging by your posts you don't have much knowledge in this sport

Geez panthers fans must truly be the only fanbase that IS as stupid as they look...

That's one thing leaf fans can be happy with.... we dont LOOK stupid. we look damn classy. Now about the part of actually being stupid...

Wel to still cheer for a team that is as inept all around must have its bits of stupidity.

But we look damn good

You're right, they definitely can't handle pressure. Unlike the Oilers, they thrive in the big games.

This Canucks team needs a on the fly re-build, I'm talking trading the Sedins and possibly Kesler as well, our top 6 is weak, soft and can't score in the post season. AV and the full coaching staff has to go as well. We'll see if Gillis has the balls to do this, if he doesn't make major changes in the offseason Gillis has to go for a GM who can.

I thought we played well tonight...no character issues what so ever. LA is a good team, same as the finals last year we just can't score.

If you're AV, you are coaching for your job at this point.

You throw everything else out the window and go with the goalie who you think gives you the best chance of winning. If it was me, I would pick Schneider.

Hopefully Luongo has played his last game with the Canucks.

And AV follows him shortly.
