on the Hawks game

So that was one crazy bounce into the net in our game against Chicago tonight. Bieksa was just tryin to help... and ended up helping the wrong team. Everything seems to get worse from there. The Hawks were like they had just received a gift from the hockey gods and rode the wave till the end... and the expense of the home team.

But did anyone notice how many times Bulis coughed up the puck... the guy just had no finish to his puck battles tonight. As if it's not enough that he's already the black sheep of the team, and the fans are probably growing weary of his lack of finish. It's amazing how one moment of verbal diarrhea takes months and months of repair. It's kinda like how he plays sometimes... with lack of thought.

In my opinion, the canucks mistake was over-analyzing the opponent. Lalime, the standings, their win-pride... They should've just went out there like it was any other team and take it to them. Instead, they played to the level of what they thought of the opposing team, and the Hawks took advantage big time.

Canucks are not bustling with talent this year (though there's moments where you wonder if it's there in the undertow). But they are finally proving the age-old truth that hard work can pay off. I'm with them all the way to the playoffs. This year, let's give the fans more to cheer about. Luongo has earned his chance to show what he can do when the heat's turned up in the playoffs... and I for one will be there cheering all the way...
