Trevor Linden Authentic Jersey . -- Packers cornerback Tramon Williams has been fined $26,250 for contact with an official, per NFL guidelines. Vancouver Canucks Jersey . He, the 25-year-old Toronto backup net-minder and Manitoba native, would be making just his fourth start in the past 16 games against the Jets the following evening. It was the word of opportunity for Reimer, who has fallen into the role of backup, outmatched in recent weeks by Jonathan Bernier, his Quebec counterpart. http://www.hockeycanucksonline.com/authentic-zack-kassian-canucks-jersey -sale/. There is considerable interest from fans around the league as well, with all eight teams vulnerable to poaching. Perhaps his best option at landing his first choice at QB, the expansion draft also poses problems for general manager Marcel Desjardins. Kevin Bieksa Jersey . -- The Anaheim Ducks realize theyre in for plenty of tight defensive games in the next seven weeks while the rest of the NHL attempts to catch them atop the standings. Alexander Edler Canucks Jersey . Coetzee eagled the par-5 10th hole and birdied his closing three holes in a round that was just two shots more than his best on the European Tour, a 62 which equalled the Old Course record at St.Roberto Luongo stopped all 31 shots he faced and Maxim Lapierre scored the games only goal to move the Vancouver Canucks within one game of winning the Stanley Cup. Heavily-criticized after allowing a dozen goals on 58 shots in two games in Boston, Luongo continued his dominance at home. Hes now allowed two goals in three home games in this series. As the crowd in Vancouver cheered when Luongo was pulled from the Vancouver goal in Game Four then, as fans are wont to do, cheered Luongo when he was named first star of Game Five after posting his third playoff shutout, the reaction online seemed be that any criticism of Luongo was unjustified. While theres no denying Luongos credentials, the difference between regular season and playoff results is what fuels the criticism. Over the last decade, Luongo ranks fourth among goaltenders (with at least 100 games played) in regular season save percentage at .920. In the playoffs, over that same time frame (among goaltenders with at least 20 games played), Luongos save percentage of .919 ranks 13th and thats after the Game Five shutout. So, there is a difference, one that was further accentuated by Luongos troubles in Game Three and Game Four of the Cup Final and thats what brought about the critiques in the first place. That doesnt mean that anyone but Luongo should have started Game Five and it doesnt make Luongo anything close to a bad goaltender but its not fair to suggest that hes always performed like an elite goaltender when the chips were down. No matter the criticism, though, Luongo did perform like a big-game goaltender Friday evening, is now a single win away from the Stanley Cup and hes doing it with a team that is giving him the bare minimum of offensive support, having scored a grand total of six goals through the first five games.dddddddddddd What must be maddening to the Bruins is that theyve managed, for the most part, to take Vancouvers top scorers out of equation and that has left Alex Burrows and Raffi Torres as the Canucks leading scorers in the series, with three points apiece. Even on home ice, which allowed the Canucks to get the Sedin Twins away from Patrice Bergeron, at least some of the time, Vancouvers big guns still came up empty, but they only needed to get one past Tim Thomas. The Canucks, led by defenceman Alexander Edler with 10, outhit the Bruins 47-27. Its no great surprise that neither team managed to score on the power play. The Canucks are now 1-for-25 (4.0%) with the man advantage in the final, while the Bruins are 3-for-21 (14.3%) in the final, but just 8-for-82 (9.8%) over the course of the postseason. Heading back across the continent for Game Six, the Bruins will understandably feel confident playing in front of their home fans and will have to try and duplicate the success they had in Game Three and Four so that they can force Game Seven back in Vancouver. Despite all the histrionics -- the diving, the taunting, the whining, the interview jabs etc. -- the bottom line is that its been a wonderfully entertaining, competitive series between two closely-matched teams. Two more games of this, then, would be just fine, thanks. Scott Cullen can be reached at [email protected] and followed on Twitter at http://twitter.com/tsnscottcullen.
