    Vancouver had better shots on that pp than the hawks. Wow luongo
  2. UMFan83
    The last half of the period was promising. The start to the game was absolutely inexcusable, but they recovered nicely, and at least it feels like there is still a shot in the game.
  3. UMFan83
    Mediocre PP at best.
  4. UMFan83
    Leftovers from the Bill Wirtz era. the sticks are corked Oh so these were just "shooting practice" sticks?
  5. UMFan83
    There we go. Let's have a good PP. I'd love a goal but let's just try to look better than Saturday.

    Leftovers from the Bill Wirtz era.

    I'm rather amazed at how easily the Canucks are letting the Hawks dump it in the zone and skate by them. I'm still waiting for Vancouver to commit their first penalty.
  8. UMFan83
    What a weird stretch. Half the team lost their sticks on the ice, Luongo was laying down taking a nap in the crease for like 10 seconds and we couldn't get it on net. It's been an exciting game so far to say the least.
  9. UMFan83
    What a pathetic penalty by Versteeg. Wow. I don't think Van would have had numbers would they?
  10. UMFan83
    It's almost like the Hawks and Canucks quickly switched jerseys after the 2nd goal.
  11. UMFan83
    Yay we scored. Thank god...steal some momentum back.
  12. UMFan83
    Bobby Lu has to feel so relaxed right now in goal. His confidence couldn't be higher.
  13. UMFan83
    his defense was garbage all season and he's been pathetic in the playoffs. -5 before tonight. all he ever does is turn the puck over in his own zone It's almost like the play from the last half of the season...somehow carried over to the playoffs?!
  14. UMFan83
    Wow.....how could that man be so open? Unbelievable.
  15. UMFan83
    OMG this is a bloodbath. It should easily be 3-0. Now we are 5-3. This is actually good because if we somehow lived through this without a goal given up we'd get momentum.
  16. UMFan83
    Another turnover in their own zone leads to a good SOG.
  17. UMFan83
    Remember when we got tons of SOG and controlled the puck? Penalty on Chicago. I'd be amazed if Vancouver didn't score here.
  18. UMFan83
    Vancouver looks really really really good so far.
  19. UMFan83
    It was amazingly close. Nice turnover Niemi.
  20. UMFan83
    Wow that was as close to 2-0 as it could be without it actually being 2-0. They are destroying us again.
  21. UMFan83
    So is Mr. 3 rebounds Niemi
  22. UMFan83
    Does that help the nerves? :(
  23. UMFan83
    Let the rout commence. That was quick.
  24. UMFan83
    The Hawks should probably win this game.
  25. UMFan83
    I don't understand how a team with such good hitting and starting pitching can be sub .500. They aren't though. They are at .500 :) Also, consider the somewhat easy schedule we've had so far. Atlanta, Cincinnati, Milwaukee, Houston, New York, Milwaukee, Washington, Arizona is not exactly a murder's row of teams. We should be at least a couple games over .500 if we are any good. That said, we've had issues with streaky hitting and especially the pen, which is why we are .500 despite great starting pitching and a decent offense. As much as I want to feel optimistic about the Cubs, I just can't with this bullpen. Z isn't gonna be in the pen forever (I can't believe I'm saying that), and there is literally no option besides maybe Marshall that I'd feel even slightly comfortable pitching the 8th inning of a tight game. The crazy thing is, we have barely had any situations where we needed an 8th inning guy pitching with a 1-2 run lead. We've only won 4 games decided within 2 runs this year, and 1 of them we took the lead in the bottom of the 8th, and another we won in extras. Once we aren't playing the Arizonas or Milwaukees of the world, I would expect a lot more tight games.
