GDT: WCQF GAME #1: Canucks vs. Blues | Good to be back! | 7:30 p.m. PST

[EpochLink]

Let’s get this, go Canucks.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

That was before steen was a 4th liner. I dont really think he sparks much fear anymore.

Pfft. You say that now - but we’ve seen enough Hejduk’s, Gaborik’s, Steen’s and more in our lifetime to know that the only way to get them to stop lighting us up is to either have them retire, or sign with us as a free agent, like Curtis Sanford did!

YEAH PLAYOFFS !!!

I don't feel the same stress as I did to start the QR with Minny. The pressure of a best 3 of 5, versus 4 of 7, is night and day. I just wanted the team to get in the playoffs and let the dice roll. Now we get to watch at least 4 more games of Hughes, Petey and the gang.
GO CANUCKS GO !!!

 

[Canuckle1970]

In games 2-4 against Minny, the 1st Canuck goal was scored by Pearson, Boeser, Pearson respectively.

Game winning goals by Horvat, Boeser, Tanev.

[VanCity Millionaires]

I thought Perron was the Canuck killer.

 

[Fatass]

Eriksson with the Gordie Howe hat trick; then gives the middle finger to the HF boards "take that losers".

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Is Jake in?

No lineup news as of yet.

 

[Zombotron]

No more effing around. After three years of dawdling, it's time to get this jersey done up (er, the black one)

I’m not sure what is going to happen. Will the Blues be sluggish or can they turn it on? One thing I know is that if any team can turn it on like a switch it’s a champion.

Blues are an excellent team and if they can match the Canucks pace to start it’s going to be tough for the Canucks.

Canucks cannot underestimate this team. The Bruins today showed they're awake if not primed. The Blues can do the same thing.

More like the Blues can't underestimate the Canucks. When you have a goalie, anything is possible (granted, less of a chance of a surprise in a best of 7 vs best of 5 series).

4.5 hours away!!!!

GOOOOOOO CCCCAAAAANNNNNNNUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKKSSSSSS!!!!!!

Man I love this team

 

[Canuckle1970]

Crawling down to 4 hours to go.

I don’t think we’re going to underestimate the cup champs

 

[Pennask]

Agreed. Hopefully the Canucks are the one's being underestimated...

 

[supercanuck]

4 - 3 Canucks

Jake x 2, EP, Juolevi
Quinn and EP with 3 pts each

Blues will score one goal 6 on 5 but fail to socre a tying goal

 

[82Ninety42011]

Quick start is key Blues will get better as series goes. They are a big team to and will wear us down if were winning this we need to win 2 of the first three games starting tonight !!

 

[LickTheEnvelope]

Back in the playoffs and it's August 12th. Feels weird man.

 

[Disappointed EP40]

5-3 nucks.

Hughes especially shines

 

[dombrova22]

I'm just not as positive as some of you are. Blues take game 1, 6-2. Canucks show effort, but penalties get us into trouble.
