Vancouver's Critics = Too Many!!

Friday, April 20, 2007
I've come to the conclusion that Vancouver fans are the hardest to please. Don't get me wrong that loss last night was hard on me too. But with all the ranting that people do "The Canucks have only made it this far riding Luongo's back, Cooke Crumbles or Sedin Twins Can't Find the Net" What do you expect we have got to be one of the hardest City's to play for. With fans criticizing or worshiping your every move, its hard to get anything done. After all they're still just human.

Lets talk about Dallas, don't get me wrong they've been playing good hockey (for the most part) but Turco is doing his job. He's the last line of defense yet you don't hear people saying Dallas is riding a Turco train, or Modano (America's leading goal scorer) hasn't found the trick to beat Luongo. Even Morrow has only squeaked two goals past him. And yes I do say SQUEAKED last nights goal was a very lucky goal, thats what happens when you keep putting them to the net though. If only that rouge puck would've went in, if only the line change would have been done properly, terrible penalty to take :(... Sorry back on topic.

Last nights game was by far the best game of the series both teams came out fighting hard, Vancouver had 6 shots on goal to Dallas' 1 before the game was even 4mins in. They were finishing their checks (Devin would be proud :P) Diggin for the puck, you knew it was going to be a battle of the goalies right away. With Turco making some UNBELIEVABLE saves right off the bat. Luongo answered back both goalies getting a shut out in regular time, one of them was bound to make a mistake sooner or later. Dallas broke its curse of the OT and Vancouver sunk deeper into it's curse of the Clincher, not being able to finish them off :( They fought hard though. Game 5 is by far my fave game of the series, however I would've loved for the outcome to be different. The Hockey god's didn't agree with my call though.


Let's talk about Willie Mitchell "WOW" Kudos to him he's playing with heart and lots of it! Never gives up constantly diggin for the puck racing for it, as usual, was a force in the Canucks own end. He put his body on the line and had five of the Canucks 20 blocked shots. The entire Stars team combined for 9. When he wasn’t blocking shots, he was getting his 63 inch piece of lumber in the way of the Stars. He prevented three or four top quality scoring chances in a game that had very few. Mitchell finished with 26:13 of ice time.

Thanks Willie keep playing hard it will continue to pay off for you.

Sopel... Wow he made a straight pass... Trade him, get rid of him, why'd they bring him back I can't stand Sopel he's slow and clumsy, my sister was like "I hope he gets the winning goal" cause I was riding him so bad haha. TRADE HIM DROP HIM I don't care.

Well here's to game 6, One of the best road teams, and one of the worst at home teams (in play offs) GO CANUCKS GO. You guys can do it BELIEVE!!!

I agree..everyone has something to say and it's so bloody annoying. Especially when the only time some of them care is when the play offs are on!
