  • If anyone is interested in the playoff pool, someone needs to step up to run it. I am going to be too busy and cannot be sure of having time. I'll participate, just not organise.

            The Canucks couldn't even take the Oilers in four last week.

                This Hawks team was in a do-or-die game, and lost. They had to win and couldn't get it done.

                  Sounds like you're describing 7uongo...

                  • At least my team made the playoffs. Are we gonna have to listem to 3 months of Flames fans pining for the Canucks to go down?

                      That's all you got? You know it's true. When it comes to do-or-die, Luongo lets in 6 or 7 goals.

                      Are we gonna have to listem to 3 months of Flames fans pining for the Canucks to go down?
                      No, just a couple weeks. And not pining -- waiting.

                      • Old news Asher. The new news is that the Blackhawks can't get it done anymore. Do you think the old Hawks would have gone 82 games without clinching a playoff spot and have to rely on help to get in?

                        • Every hockey fans knows anything can happen in the playoffs.

                          There's a LOT more character on the Hawks than there is on the Canucks. A team with character doesn't drop two in a row to Edmonton, a last-placed team riddled with injuries and playing a bunch of kids.

                            Yeah, a team with character busts up a cab driver over 3 bits, and meekly loses a game when all they need is a single point to get in. This team has the talent, their record shows that they lack the heart. This was to be their year, where they would snatch the division from the aging Red Wings. Instead, they slipped to third. What happened to the Blackhawks 'dynasty'?

                            • Let's look at Luongo's playoff legacy. His performance in do-or-die games. Both against the Hawks...

                              2010 playoffs: 85.7%, 5 GA
                              2009 playoffs: 75.6%, 7 GA

                              The good news is he's getting better.

                              BTW, these numbers clearly reinforced your comment about him being one of the top 5 goalies ever. Really stellar, clutch player.

                                There was nothing meek about it. Did you watch the Wings-Hawks game? It was a helluva game.

                                The Minny-Dallas game was much much tamer, slower-- hell boring by comparison.

                                The failure to win a key game here should be worrying for Hawks fan sbut however they got there, they are in the playoffs and I doubt they will be shaken bu the Wings loss at all. They ARE the defending champs and they will be highly motivated to show they belong.

                                I think this is the worst possible matchup for the Canucks. I would like the Canucks over any of the Kings, Preds or Coyotes but the Hawks are a dangerous dangerous team and I don't see a whole lot of reason they couldn't go deep into the playoffs again.

                                On the flip side, if the 'nucks can beat the Hawks they should have great confidence for subsequent rounds-- still some hurdles-- ( Will Niemi prove he is really a superior goaltender?)-- those Sharks are incredibly talented
                                You don't get to 300 losses without being a pretty exceptional goaltender.-- Ben Kenobi speaking of Roberto Luongo
