    As we all expected.

    Also as expected, Schneider is confirmed as the starter tonight for Vancouver.

      PULLING HIS HAIR STOPS THE FIGHT!?!?!?!?!?r

      What a ridiculously girlie reason to break up a fight.

      ACK!
      Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

        I was thinking the same thing. WTF?

          That was a tough loss.

            Vancouver goes down 3-0 to the eighth seed. Could not have happened to a more deserving team.

            Has an eighth seed ever swept the Presidents Trophy winners before?

              Brown should have gotten the game for that hit on Sedin. Instead he got the game-winner.

                Having seen a few more replays of it now, I'll have to admit that the hit was clean. I still think it was late, though.

                  The hit was definitely clean. You could make an argument about the timing, but I don't see any further discipline being handed out, even ignoring the joke that the league has become (or rather, still is) with that sort of thing. Vancouver's inability to score is rather amazing, but full marks to LA for their defensive zone coverage. Those guys aren't giving up anything, even when they're killing a penalty.

                    The Kings now remind me a lot of the 03-04 Flames, but perhaps with a bit more scoring depth.

                      The geniuses on the Canucks official forums are wondering why no one is running Quick.

                        You stay classy, Vancouver.

                        Shame that such a truly beautiful city is represented by such a worthless team and its dickbag fans.

                            In the 24 complete seasons since 85-86 when the President's Trophy was first awarded, it's never happened. (I don't really feel like looking further back than that.)

                            5 teams won the Trophy only to lose in the first round:
                            09-10 Caps (4-3 to Montreal)
                            08-09 Sharks (4-2 to Anaheim)
                            05-06 Red Wings (4-2 to Edmonton)
                            99-00 Blues (4-3 to San Jose)
                            90-91 Blackhawks (4-2 to North Stars)

                              Lucky for you, then, somebody did feel like looking further back.

                              Toronto Maple Leafs vs Boston Bruins (who finished first that year).

                              Bruins got a bye to the semifinals.

                              Bruins lost three straight (and the series), 1-0 (OT), 2-1, and 3-2 (OT), getting knocked out of the Stanley cup playoffs without winning a game.

                              17 times since 1937, has the first place team been eliminated in the first round. None have gone 0-4, while one team went 1-4, the 1957 Red Wings, Losing a game, winning one, and then losing three straight.

                              The worst performance by a 1 seed vs an 8 seed, was the Sharks/Ducks series, which the Canucks have now surpassed going 0-3. So, yeah. Dubious record.

                                Well, not you, obviously.
