Kings take the Crown

Well this years Stanley cup goes to the LA Kings.  This is not a bad thing for Canucks fans because of two facts 1) We did not get swept and 2) Quick has had an incredible run since before the playoffs began.

I am glad it was the Kings that won because that means that we where defeated by the winners of the cup which makes a tough loss easier to take.

CONGRATULATIONS KINGS...

The Canucks will get their chance again next year.  I am sure that we will see some changes on the roster for next year, I would assume some youth and size.

Bitz out for 2 games and Weber fined.

Alright so Bitz is out,  it was not a good hit and should not have happened and he will have to do the time, fine. However Weber purposefully rammed Zetterbergs head into the glass twice and gets a $2500 fine, um I am not so sure about that.  He should have had at least a 5 minute major and a game misconduct. Please note that I am not disputing that there should not have been a suspension I believe that it should possibly have been 3 games but in the playoffs the standard has been set.

So each of them had an interview today to discuss the hits,  Bitz apologized for the hit.  On the other hand Weber made some noise about it being the speed of the game. So what now? The more a player gets paid the different the treatment will become? A hit to the head should be equal no matter who does the hit. period.

Shanahan has done a good job so far since taking over, it is going to take a lot of work to get rid of the double standard that plagued Campbell.

Next up game 2.
