I’m only singling out Viggy because the Stars have learned how to make the Sedins a moot point, they’ve learned to keep Naslund out of it. Morrison, Pyatt, Smoke, Cowan…all of them are ineffective. I think the effort is there, but isn’t it Vigneault’s job to juggle those lines and figure out a way to create another means of offensive pressure?

Maybe I’m off base, but I kept thinking that all game long.

"My anger now rests with Vigneault."

Mine doesn't. The team had no jump tonight and I'm sure that even Viggy couldn't get them going. It was a lackluster effort where Dallas did everything right. They beat them to most of the pucks, made crisp passes, held the Nucks to the outside. Hey, isn't that what the canucks were supposed to be doing?

Fuck it. I like our chances in game 7 with nothing to lose. I sure as fuck hope that Morrow and Zubov are gonzo.

Roddie, the canucks gave up after the first goal. They did try to pull Luongo at 2:00, but that’s when the penalties started.

I have a feeling if Morrow is seriously injured Burrows will get suspended.

Roddie – First off, I miss your blog! You must be a busy guy!

But you’re right. I think you could argue they gave up a bit before that too. I said in my post game comment that I am putting a lot of blame now on the coaching staff. Game’s five and six just exemplify that idea of insanity being trying the same thing over and over expecting different results each time.

Bottom line to me is the Stars deserve this series if the Canucks don’t put it all on the line, every iota of it, on Monday night.

What I don’t understand is why did the Canucks just give up in the last six minutes of the game?

It’s not like it was a blow-out – Even in the regular season, a team would’ve pulled their goalie at two minutes and gone for it in a 2-0 game.

There is nothing…NOTHING…positive to say right now. Nothing. Other than “hey we have Luongo”. But he can’t score like the rest of the team.

Speaking of that PK, how come Ribero didn’t get an equipment foul penalty for his jersey coming off?

I guess their PK is so good that Brendan and Lukas see no need in having sticks? What a time to get butter fingers too…geez.

WTF is going on with the sticks?

The game is young; it would almost be fitting that both NW teams get their ass handed to them on one night.

NO NO NO…who am I kidding. Luongo won’t let that happen.
