Big Move of May 9th

The Vancouver Canucks advance to their first conference final since 1994. I'm actually surprised it's been seventeen years since the Canucks made a run this deep in the playoffs but I suppose it makes sense considering they had goalies like Dan Cloutier and Corey Hirsch in the pre-Luongo years. Besides making it to the conference finals the win was also huge because it will give the Canucks at least five days to rest after playing every other day since the beginning of the first round. Maybe during that break someone will be able to find the Sedins who have been spotted as much as Pokeroo in these playoffs! If Henrik and Daniel don't pick up their game in the next round the Canucks will not make the finals even with Kesler playing the way he has of late. Speaking of which, how ridiculous is the mancrush Scott Oake and Glenn Healy have on Ryan Kesler?!?!!?  They might have to start putting a parental discretion across the screen before they interview him from now on! By the way, is it just me or does anyonelse seem to think Kesler comes off as a bit of a knob? I haven't really been a fan of him since seeing him talk down about Luongo during the Olympics last year and he just comes off as a moody guy in his interviews.
