Re-live the magic: Nucks Misconduct play-by-play

Better than NHL On the Fly, it’s the Nucks Misconduct 3rd period/OT open thread. I always appreciate examples of other teams’ fans acting as crazy as Kings‘ fans. And I mean that in a good way. Two three things I want to note about the following transcript:

  1. I cut it down to size and removed all the attributions because otherwise it would be a million pages long. Follow the link for the whole thing.
  2. THERE IS MUCH EXTREME LANGUAGE. Which I enjoy. But which might offend some people. You have been warned.
  3. One of the commenters points out what is possibly the funniest and weirdest thing I’ve heard all day: Andrew Alberts and Randy Jones were the 3rd pair for the Flyers a couple of years ago?

Okay, here goes. This thing is so long it defeated the quote box formatting. So just know the rest of this is a cut-paste-edit from the above link:

  • I (usually) love the 3rd.
  • Good god damn Demo. That’s how you enter the zone on a powerplay? Where is the confidence? Talent? Anything?
  • Sheesh. Boys better show up in the third.
  • Demo’s had almost as much time as Sammy so far. Slightly more than Burrows. Annoying.
  • Killer 3rd period coming up.
  • can’t believe how miserable i am given that we’re tied thru 2, and up 1 in the series.
  • It’s all about the letdown. Had it been reversed, Kings up then Nucks coming back, you’d be ecstatic, despite the identical situation
  • i don’t care, that period was brutal and they deserve it.
  • The only positive thing I can say about Alberts is that his penalties didn’t cost us and he looked half decent between his penalties.
  • Didn’t I call it? I said don’t get cocky with the lead. remember last year!
  • And last time I saw we were winning 2-0. It’s now 2-2. Do I blame Alberts?
  • No, it’s a team fail. They stopped owning ES and the Kings roared back. Took advantage of a Salo fuck up to tie it up 30 seconds after they got their first goal.
  • Alberts kills momentum faster than getting a phone call from your mom during sex.
  • Got a bit more jump so far, that’s better than the majority of the second.
  • Quadruple shift the Sedins at this point.
  • On that note…what happened to the hyperbolic chamber or whatever that crazy thing was?
  • delayed penalty against Vancouver
  • Alberts to the box. drink up.
  • failberts
  • This is like fucking Groundhog Day – the movie.
  • Except Groundhog Day is actually entertaining. Watching Alberts is about as entertaining as a root canal.
  • I think he’s figured out it’s a drinking game and is trying to punish us now!
  • Is my count off, or has Alberts taken 5 out of the 8 Canuck penalties so far this series?
  • If Jones gets yanked for the Kings, how the fuck is Alberts still out there after this game? It’s impossible.
  • it’s not bad, it’s only Alberts
  • Ryan Johnson – get well soon buddy, we need ya
  • Signed ’Nucks PK
  • We need Rome back ASAP. Can’t believe I said that.
  • Is [Alberts our] new Bernier? Never-ending chances at redemption?
  • Alberts now leads all players in the post season with 23 PIMs. In a game and a half.
  • He’s got the IQ of a shit sandwich
  • SAVE US LOU!!!
  • alberts is totally going to score the OT game-seven-winner, just to make us all confused.
  • Forget all that “let’s give Alberts time” stuff I’ve been saying.
  • Massive fucking kill. Good job lads.
  • finally, sustained pressure
  • nevermind
  • Andrew Alberts: I just became the mayor of the Vancouver Canucks Penalty Box on Foursquare!
  • we’ve had so many 6/7 d-men over the years, surely ONE of them is alive somewhere.
  • didn’t Matt Greene used to play for us?
  • Thought he played for the Oil?
  • he did, nvm. must have confused him with Cookie.
  • all those extraneous “e”s
  • fun fact: jones and alberts were the third pairing for Philly a year ago (or maybe two years ago). how bad is that?
  • How many times have we heard… “…and he shoots and he missed the net?”
  • Too close for comfort.
  • I LOVE YOU CHRISTIAN EHRHOFF.
  • Shoot the damn puck!!
  • OH MY GOD!
  • son of a bitch
  • doughty. fuck this is intense action
  • wow doughty.
  • I thought that was in.
  • MY HEART CAN’T TAKE IT!
  • I can’t get over Kopitar’s skill on the boards.
  • i want this thing
  • to go to ot so i can have a smoke lol. i need to calm down.
  • almost feels like LA is due for a break
  • its basically been ot for the last 5 mins
  • WE are due for a break though. Haven’t had one in 2 periods.
  • would only be possible with the benching of alberts, agreed?
  • Nah, Canucks look poised to me
  • are we watching the same game?
  • seems kinda risky to hope for a miracle two games in a row
  • My heart is going to stop.
  • i think edler is doing well with the playoffs pressure.
  • he cleared that shit 🙂
  • Aw man, I don’t think my liver can take another OT.
  • Wow that was an exciting period, even without any scoring.
  • If this goes like G1 2007 V Dallas, I may shot myself.
  • Wow…how does one shot themself?
  • goal predictions
  • burr/kes.
  • Sammy. I had a 3-2 Canucks win with Sammy scoring the winner again
  • The killer of Kings™
  • dammit… I am so disappointed they haven’t done more to take advantage of a very shaky looking Quick. Too many shots that have missed the net or not taken, the one by Daniel on the 2 on 1 the biggest… forget the pass and fucking shoot…
  • how many chances did we miss this period? what play by doughty.
  • [Albert’s] had a shitty game… rome will come back and he’ll sit until Salo’s annual pulling of his ass muscle, at which point he’ll have had time to think.
  • Not feeling confident about OT.
  • I’m predicting Ehrhoff for the win.
  • Kesler leafs all forwards with 22 minutes.
  • YOU FUCKER! You used ‘leafs’ in association with a game…now we’re bound to lose. 🙁
  • haha….opps. sorry!
  • Henrik FTW.
  • even versus is ragging on alberts saying he’s the reason kings gonna win
  • Burrows FTW
  • Demitra FTW
  • KESLERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR FTW
  • Burr for the GWG! hes due for a break. Or maybe Kes, just cause hes so sexy
  • Alberts FTW He’s due.
  • I’ll donate 100 dollars to canucks for kids fund if alberts gets the GWG lol
  • Oh man, that’s awesome. C’mon fate, cash in baby.
  • Did McLean just pick 2 Kings to score the winner?
  • Modin and Johnston?
  • He did indeed!
  • He picked Johnson to score against Quick, he’s just not very good with words.
  • Jones just said the Kings will win because the Canucks D is “hurting.”
  • Here we go…
  • lol, green men were pisssed at non call
  • i saw that too!
  • Hello Quick helmet hair.
  • he’s actually kinda cute, eh?
  • eh? silly canuck
  • Quiet. He’s satan.
  • aw, come on, who said the devil can’t be tempting?
  • he can be tempting after we win
  • I agree with Wings fans now. I hate refs.
  • he’s only cute if he lets the Canucks score
  • lol… 2 Canucks Cherry picking XD. Not a good time in a closely contested overtime period.
  • Bernier is an idiot.
  • I hate how Doughty just outsmarted Bernier… Bernier looked so fucking confused.
  • To be fair to Bernier, just about everyone can outsmart him.
  • Ooooh, this rookie is LETTING me have the puck! D’oh!
  • looks like Alberts is glued to the bench. Finally
  • Took 2 periods away from NM, because I had to explain to the girlfriend that there are actually 2 Sedins, (seriously), what icing is, and what a delay of game penalty is.
  • She ended up sitting on the edge of her seat for the next hour and half though.
  • damn, bench penalty.
  • NOOOOOOO
  • shit
  • COCKMOUTH
  • That was a good move by Brown and an equally good recovery by Bieksa.
  • FUCK
  • i called it i’m afaraid
  • Oh dear.
  • Everyone’s 1-1
  • ANAL BEADS.
  • ANZE….stupid fucking shit
  • AND Kesler is hurt. Great.
  • oh shit, kesler barely getting off the ice!
  • What are they chanting?
  • Refs you suck.
  • if it’s anything other than “alberts is not a decent hockey player”, they’re wrong.
  • And Captain Caveman puts this one in the books. I saw that one coming.
  • hey, that’s your team’s guy. theirs is frankenstein. 😉
  • If I’m picking any undead creature for him, it’s a zombie. He wanted Luongo’s Braaaaiiiins on that play. His tasty, tasty Braaaiiiiins.
  • Uncle Fester scores
  • Off Salo.
  • Remember when we were up 2-0? Yeah, me neither.
  • NEVERMIND OFF LU’S KNOB.
  • CUT THAT CRAP OFF. SERSLY.
  • We’re in trouble. Absolutely need to go back to Van tied 2-2 at worst.
  • LOL punching the panic button already?
  • i’m worried, as should be every team going on the road tied
  • there went our home-ice advantage.
  • Was the reffing as bad as the radio made it out to be?
  • No, not really.
  • I thought it was bad, could’ve been worse though.
  • Lu’s knob again!! wtf
  • wow, they were big time screening luongo
  • Another one, ricocheting off Luongo’s knob.
  • oh no, the knob
  • ffs, Luongo should cut the knob off that thing!
  • So, stupid penalties by our defenseman have cost us EVERY goal against this series except one tonite. Nice.
  • A good play, followed by a stupid penalty, sums up Bieksa perfectly.
  • No call on the high stick, no call on running over Lou but they call the bench minor…wow. Are you kidding me?
  • refs have to call the bench minor, no choice
  • Who posted that we’d rather have Luongo ands knob, rather than Nabokov? Who jinxed it for us?
  • between Lu’s stick and Alberts, two knobs are killing the canucks.
  • Not only that, but once again Bieksa gets cut by a skate…is his skin magnetic or something?
  • Suck a dick, Anze. Canucks gave him too much space
  • Canucks should have drafted him.
  • No panic from me, just extreme disappointment at the way the game was shaped by the officials all night long. We as fans deserve better than than Junior B quality officiating
  • missed calls, double standards… the burrows highstick especially. I hate that ‘followthru’ nonsense. Either you have to be responsible for your stick or you don’t. Stop giving players an out. The blown icing was bad too…
  • that’s not on the refs. that’s in the rulebook.
  • The Kings learned from their mistakes. Now it’s Vancouver’s turn.
  • Umpteen chances to score in the 3rd not converted, exactly like game 1. Only this time we paid for it.
  • As much as it sucks that they keep getting called for penalties, the PK HAS to be better. They’re looking BRUTAL out there.
  • Blowing a 2-0 lead though…not cool. That’s some deja vu right there. Bad habit.
  • anyone have a good view of what happened in that bench penalty?
  • HNIC looked at that in depth. they found 7 Canucks on the ice at once.
  • Smart play by the Kings D to push the puck into that area to ‘draw the penalty’.
  • i’m going to bed.
  • good night all.
