1 Vancouver Canucks vs 8 Los Angeles Kings

[Tigger]

Vancouver in 5.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Kings in 7

And the Oscar goes to . . . Ryan Kesler for whatever the hell that act was that got him out of a goaltender interference penalty and got the Nyucks a goal.

5:00 in - Canucks get away with a blatant goaltender interference.  How wonderful.

Are they chanting "Leafs suck" for some reason?

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

So far we've seen last season's 'head snap back' by Kesler and Henrik Sedin just fell victim to the assassin on the grassy knoll.

The only thing I could think of on that Burrows goal was that Kesler got the butt-end of Quick's stick in his face on the way around. It didn't look like as if he was cutting into the crease.

Go Kings, can't stand the Canucks.

One year later, still hate the canucks.

 

[Mr. Leaf]

Carter just made a sweet kick/deflection pass off his skate to Penner who put it past Luongo with a little over 3 minutes left in the third.  Crossing my fingers they can hold the lead!

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Game over, Brown scores into an empty net. 4-2 Kings.

Also, Richards nailed Burrows.

Weird, I was JUST coming here to post this.  Didn't think anyone else would have seen it!

Got a good laugh out of that.

I didn't see the game, but, was Luongo so bad or were the Kings that good?

It's official, I'm on the Kings bandwagon.

Luongo was probably Vancouver's best player.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

Go Los Angeles!!

Don't really like them but I hate Vancouver more. Nice city, rotten hockey team, too many obnoxious fans.....wow, sounds like another place.

Precisely what I thought of when I heard about it.

Best suited to tweet after the series, not Game 1.

LA was going to have a very tough time winning the series anyways.  If they lose it'll be for a multitude of reasons, not a freakin' tweet having any impact.  Nor should it be anything other than a lighthearted jab at stories that have come out lately about the Canucks being disliked.

If a player had said it I could see how Canucks players might get upset about it, but sheesh, the reaction is almost as funny as the tweet was at the time.
