I wish there was some way they both could lose, but I'm cheering for Pittsburgh (I guess) because it's better for the league.

Sundin not playing tonight for the Canucks. Most likely a groin/knee injury. Fuck. He hasn't been that good, but he draws some attention away from the Sedins.

Good game so far. If the Canucks can score on the powerplay to start the third I will be overjoyed.

Are the blues beating the nucks?

Are the blues beating the nucks?

Yes, horribly. They've purposely lost the first three games to lull the 'Nucks into a false sense of security. They are now going to proceed to win four games in a row against the team with the best goalie in the world.

I love watching Rypien fight. He's one of my favorite Canucks, I use a pic of one of his fights as my avatar on the NHL forum I post on. I could watch the Prust fight (which I posted on the first page) all day.

Backes is pretty fucking big though, Rypien would be in deep against him.

Have you seen this Doot? Burrows and Kesler talking shit about Backes and his wife after the 1st period in game 1?

The first game was the worst. The Canucks deserved pretty much every penalty they got tonight. Their penalty killing is un-fucking-real though. I remember before the series, everyone said that if the Canucks took a lot of penalties the Blues would kill them...

H aha ha. That is just what my dad said when he called. He said we had to let them win so we could get our four home games in at home. I said I don't think that's right.....but he was too depressed to be corrected.
