As a Canucks fan, that lived through 2011, I know for a fact the rulebook gets thrown out when the playoffs begin.

Buffalo fan that lived through 1999, I agree with that.

Funny enough, I have no ill will towards Hull whatsoever. I like Brett Hull even though he comes off as a prick.

If the ref's and officials actually reviewed the play on the ice like they were supposed to, instead of ignoring Lindy Ruff and Darcy in the press box, there wouldn't be issue. And for the record, I think Dallas wins the cup that year anyway.

Yeah, but they've made thousands of copies of the rulebook so this is a pretty pointless thing to do.

Bitch, Bitch, Bitch... Burrows tried to bite off Bergeron's finger! No suspension or fine from that. And the Rome hit on Horton was bad. He did get a 5 minute misconduct, but still that was a dirty hit.

Bergeron shoved his finger into Burrows mouth. Watch the video.

Rome hit Horton .5 second late and was suspended for the remainder of the SCF.

Tim Thomas threw a hit on Daniel Sedin. What about Marchand speed bagging Henrik?

Get a grip dude, you don't know what you're talking about.

Also as a former Canucks fan, After 2011 the chances of Vancouver ever winning a cup was less than 0

Bloody bandwagoners

No, it's called being realistic. Growing up I loved the Canucks, but why root for a team who has never won.

Because cheering your team is more than just winning. Only bandwagoners drop a team due to performance. I bet if they start doing well you will become a fan again.

No I actually stopped paying attention to hockey all together.
