Mikey Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Vancouver has done a fine job building up their team. I'll avoid Toronto bashing here but will say that Burkey is a decent GM and if anyone can sort out MLSE it is him. The Canucks have had a decent start to the playoffs. We shall see what happens as they (hopefully) progress. I am in Sydney for a year so will be relying on the interwebs for Canucks updates.

Mikey Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Following the Canucks is indeed a roller coaster. I spent a few hours today outside the library using the free wifi to listen to that debacle. I am betting the campus security at USyd now have many reports of a crazed canadian swearing at a phone. Anyway, it is now a very interesting series and the Canucks still have 2 chances to finish it off. Given the last two years when Chicago seemed to overwhelm the Canucks late in the series I was hoping there was something different this year.

jif Posted April 22, 2011 Report Share Posted April 22, 2011 Having watched the Bruins in Belfast in October i have been looking out for their results all season. Not had the best of seasons but still in the mix. Tied at 2-2 with the Canadiens so anything can happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Things are getting hectic now. Series tied 3-3 with game seven in vancouver tomorrow night. Canucks do not want to be added to the very short list of teams (3 so far since 1940) who have blown 3-0 series leads. I'll be at my post ranting and raving at my phone.

Mikey Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Great result for the Canucks. Too bad Montreal lost today as I had this sad fantasy of Montreal vs Vancouver in the final. Hopefully the Canucks can push on from this series and do well in the next one. I think they play Nashville. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they play Nashville. i knocked my laptop off at 0325 as the game went into overtime, had to be in work for 0830 (it was a long day). but well worth it. Bring on the flyers in what i hope will be a classic physical battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 sadly, the Canucks will find a way to take it to 7 games! The Canucks do not make it easy. Given they had only won 13 playoff series in the 40 years prior to this season it is reasonable to assume that 4 in a row is a very tough task. One hopes that this year they have the team to successfully work their way through the series. On a side note, years of Canucks style "entertainment" have prepared me well for the Thistle roller coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eighthoursbehind Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Is it squeaky bum time for the boys from Vancouver?? It always is, but through to West final won 2-1 tonight 4 games to 2. Then East v West for Stan's mug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 It always is, but through to West final won 2-1 tonight 4 games to 2. Then East v West for Stan's mug. The next series should be good. Detroit have a great recent history but right now the Sharks look marginally better. Either way, the Canucks shall make it interesting.

_mm_ Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 well done to the Red Wings for taking it to seven. so long as they lose, i win the the pool on that series. regardless...Go Canucks Go! the green men shall lift us to victory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 West Final game 1, Canucks 3 Sharks 2. Nice way to start the series. It looks likely to be close and might go longer rather than shorter. I would imagine Vancouver is getting hectic. This is only the third time in 40 years they have made it this far. The bandwagon will be well and truly full!
