The Vancouver Sun's Elliott Pap talks you through tonight's clash between the Vancouver Canucks and the Coloardo Avalanche
- Welcome to the live-chat for tonight's NHL game between the Colorado Avalanche and Vancouver Canucks. To leave a comment, click 'make a comment' above and have at it.
- Who are the canucks looking at for the upcoming draft???
- hey kyle, probably more players with testosterone.
- If my Habs dont win, I am becoming a Vancouver fan for the playoffs.
- Hey: we're underway, Samuelsson starting with the twins, Burrows with Kesler and Demitra
- some secondary scoring would help this team alot.
- Slow start...
- Canuck give up first goal, an early goal, once again as Luongo beached like a whale.
- Matt Duchene had a virtual empty net as all the Canucks out of position. Their terrible first periods on this road trip continue. already 2-0
- Luongo gives up terrible second goal from a bad angle, similar to the Samuelsson goal against Nashville. This is shaping up as another first-period disaster and the Canuck goalie is the main reason....
- Luongo is really hurting the team with soft early goals. He isn't paid $7 million to play like this. Martin Brochu can play like this....
- This is game 13 of the Canucks road trip and their first periods have been: 0-3, 1-2, 0-2, 0-2, 0-1, 0-0,1-2,0-1,0-2,2-1,1-5, 1-1 and so far tonight 0-2...Add em up and this team, led by Luongo, has been outscored 24-6 in first periods of their last 13 games -- and this one isn't over....
- If the Canucks don't make a strong run in the post-season, any chance Luongo is on the hot-seat? He just doesn't ever seem to be at his best in the big games. Even in the gold medal game, he wasn't spectacular.
- Luongo horrible on third AValanche goal as Canucks atrocious penalty killing fails again. Gotta hook Luongo. He looks devoid of confidence...
- Canucks haven't looked this bad since, oh, the Chicago game on Friday.
- Luongo will tell us how good he felt tonight, yet getting same soft goals and insecure play we got in Chicago. But hey, he can win the big game, he has gold. League average
- Calgary beat the Wings in Detroit 4-2...
- At least he pulled out the Luongo flop early tonight.
- Is it me or is the attendance in Colorado awful? A shot before the game showed a nearly empty upper bowl.
- This team looks like a team ready to go home. This one is already in the mail.
- This team makes me sick
- First-round carnage is over and it's 3-0 Avalanche. The Canucks have been outscored 25-6 in the first periods of their last 13 games, all of them on the road, of course. Pathetic really. 25-6!
- I'm being subjected to the Colorado feed...the announcers are horrendous.
- These lackluster starts reflect on the coach at this point. He obviously has no answers still.
- What about the Sedins?These scoring sensations are zero for the last 11 games (open net doesn`t count).The world wants to know why Vancouver is so in love with these over-rated genetic curiosities
- The Sedins and Luongo, their highest paid players, are stinking up the joint...
- The Sedins are underrated, and most in Vancouver know how soft they are come playoff time. They aren't the problem right now, the D and Luongo have been terrible - Luongo especially, he's making 7 Mil
- Haven't you Nuck fan's figured it out yet? it's 18 games till playoffs (groundhog day for the sisters)
- hey Elliott, how are you doing tonight>
- Elliot is stinking up the joint too.
- Luongo is overrated. He is a good goalie only. Not a great one.
- maybe his middle name is starts with a D or H?
- The defense was an area that needed some improvement but management wouldn't trade Schneider for help on the blue line
- hey cyber, truth hurts especially when you have sold the farm for him and the estrogen twins.
- Vancouver`s scoring ability is limited at best and the club relies on the Sedins to come through.You need players that are willing to go into those pits and valleys and fight for the puck. The game has changed--no more useless "cycling" down low then looking to feed your brother.You don`t think defensemen have figured this out yet?
- Luongo is their biggest problem right now. He keeps putting them in first-period craters with the soft goals he's allowing...
- Elliot redeems himself.
- that is correct DJJ, that is why the shrink like violets in the playoffs. Well your stuck with them because you won't be able to ever trade them.
- Trade Sedins to Edmonton for first overall draft
- i predict Avs 5 Nuckdom 1
- They wouldn't take them!!!
- He`s certainly not playing well but then,Vancouver doesn`t have the crashing forwards to help them get back into this game.The team was built around Luongo and for quite a while every one accepted that.You can`t expect your goaltender to win it for you every night--you need to score goals too
- What would happen if the Sedins were split up?
- They would cry!
- I schneider as good as luongo was at his current level? or is he scouted as being better?
