For all you naysayers:
The first round is quite often the hardest. Chicago very nearly lost to Nashville last year in the first round. I'm hoping the Canucks get on a roll now; forty years is long enough! I'm not sure I can handle many more games like that though: my ass cheeks just came unclenched an hour ago.

I am happy that they beat the black hawks. Anything else is just gravy.

Well it'll be interesting to see how they pan out with the Olympic streak behind them.

Yeah, three-for-three would be cool.

The Canucks have a good team but to win a cup the best player on your team has to be your goal tender and this is definitely not the case with Luongo. He made a few good saves last night but most of them were just a result of the puck hitting him because he is big. He still coughs up too many fat rebounds and flops around like a fish out of water. All the same, it would be great to see a Canucks vs. Habs final.

Nothing impressive about that win at all. The Sedin twins are still playing poorly and its a guess each night as to whether Luongo is going to show up.

GO WINGS!

Yes, Henrik isn't playing well, (but Bolden's gone now), and even not at his best Daniel's got 5 goals (third in the playoffs). As for Luongo, if he falters Scneider's one of the best back-ups in the league. Wouldn't be the first time a youngster took his team to the cup. Remember Cam Ward?

I do remember Cam Ward, but he is one of the exceptions not the norm. Daniel was fine in the first 3 games, but where was he the last 3 games? 1pt in the last 3 games???? Not looking like the star he was in the regular season (seems to be a trend for these brothers during the playoffs). I just don't think they have that killer instinct great players have. I could be wrong, but they have yet to prove this otherwise.

Unless there number 1 line picks up there game, they have no chance. Chicago was in 8th place for a reason. Curse or not!

GO WINGS!

Agree with this 100% but the ticket i think is Vigneault needs to see when lou isnt playing or coughing up too many rebounds and get scneider in before its 5-0. Im just not a lou fan. You cant hang on to them all but your supposed to knock rebounds off to the side, not up the slot. And everyones telling me around here that he came out and played the last game, ok, but a stanley cup goalie cant "show up" and play every 3 or 4 games. Hes got to be there every night and sometimes he has to be the guy the team leans on to pull them through if there not getting anything together. I just dont see him doing that. Had some good defence last game too. Also have to bow to crawford a bit too he kept that game close. Some of them stops were unbeliveable.
