| Message | I've gotta say, i was cheering for the Phillies in this FHL playoff race -- but their poor management decisions (benching their best playoff performer) have caused me to send my loyalties elsewhere....I am now cheering for myself. I understand your dilema, Phil, but you've gotta make the tough choices. I am in second place in my other playoff pool (I know, tought to imagine me actually competing in a pool) because I picked with my head, not my heart. NO Flames made my roster but several players I hate from teams I hate did. So is Shane the last one in our pool whose favourite team is actually still in the playoffs?? |

| Message | Ugggh. Insult to injury that I had 6 points from Kane and Toews on my bench... I have never seen a team blow that many opportunities in one series. |

| Message | The facts are the Hawks are a faster, more skilled team up front. They have a very mobile d core, and solid goaltending. The Canucks are more than capable of beating them in a 7 game series if they play physical, skate their buts off, continue their excellent special teams play, and play smart. If they eliminate the turnovers and the dumb penalties they have an excellent chance of winning the series. I also hope they scrap the gameplan of sitting back on the road and praying the Hawks dont score. This strategy has not worked once in the history of the Canucks but they continue to insist on pulling that page of the playbook out during big games. They must pressure the Hawks and play with viscious determination. |

| Message | wrong... they are the better team they just haven't been... misconstruing the tense I choose doesn't make your argument right. |

| Message | If the Canucks "can" be the better team, but aren't, then I guess they aren't the better team... I think they still have a good chance to win. All the games have been close except game 2. Factor in some extra desperation for game 6 and a coin flip in game 7, who knows... |

| Message | uggh... that was the worst 7 minutes of hockey I've ever watched... Bieksa is an idiot proven by that penalty nowhere near the puck. Johnson is an idiot for not being able to clear that puck. Mitchell is an absolute idiot for slashing Butfugly's stick, breaking his own when the puck was 30 feet away... and Kesler is a donkey for taking that stupid slashing penalty. That said, Chicago is not the better team. They're way more fun to watch and have more offensive skill, but Canucks can easily be the better team and control this series from here out. i.e. Game 3. I don't think they will... but they can and I want them too... |

| Message | Unbelievably terrible game from Kesler tonight. 2 awful turnovers, a dumb dumb penalty with 3 1/2 minutes remaining, and then to cap it off he desides to come running off the bench for the extra attacker and take out Ohlund and send him self sprawling and allow Chicago to take the puck. Him and Burrows need to shut there yaps and focus on playing hockey. |
