digitalmonkey 929 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Luongo looked very uncomfortable when he was forced to come in. He looked like he was fighting the puck.A Vancouver loss at home in game 7 after being up 3 nothing and being picked by many to go all the way would be a very big disappointment for the franchise.

It's amazing to me what Chicago has pulled off...they're a totally different team with Bolland in the lineup. He's almost single-handedly changed the entire dynamic of the playoff series, shutting down the Sedin line night after night while basically scoring at will with his linemates. Tuesday is going to be an amazing day for hockey. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I am sooooo torn. For years I have dogged Vancouver for years because I think Luongo just doesn't have what it takes to win when it counts. And on the other side of it I hate Chicago more than probably any other team in the NHL. So I don't know, part of me wants Chicago to lose so I can point and laugh and part of me wants to continue to be proven right that Luongo is not the awesome goalie people keep telling me he is. I think I might go for the latter. All I know is that I win either way I guess. Just hope game 7 is as awesome as game 6 was. Link to post Share on other sites

Tuesday is going to be an amazing day for hockey.The defending Stanley Cup winner and the President's Trophy winner have met 5 times in the first round before this series. On all five occasions the series winner went on to win the Stanley Cup. Link to post Share on other sites

Nashtak 0 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 My friend is a vancouver fan and he rubbed in a few when Boston caught up to Montreal, starting when his team was up 3-0. It's clear who i am siding for. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 you go with game 7. boston and montreal are on the laptopI'm sure I'll be at the bar, but I pretty much control the TVs there, so I'll make sure to get it all set-up appropriately... unfortunately, since people here care about the Habs more than the Sens, it'll be Habs on the projector screen + sound, and Phi/Bos on one (or several) of the other TVs. Barring OT in the Habs game, I'll get the last 5-10 mins of the game 7 on the big screen with sound, at least. Link to post Share on other sites
powerpoker 0 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yeah, seriously, wow.

Derswick 0 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 That was one dead arena to start a second round playoff series. Not that the game was much but with the home team carring play for the first two periods you'd have thought the fans would be a little excited. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Vancouver has to be licking their chops at the idea of facing whomever comes out of the other semifinal...whichever team it is will be mentally and physically whipped. Link to post Share on other sites
