he seventh game in a pretty slow paced game.ddddddd
GLENDALE, Ariz. - The Seattle Seahawks sure look like Super Bowl material again after dominating Arizona with a stifling defence and dynamic offence.Russell Wilson threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, Seattle set a franchise record with 596 yards of offence and the streaking Seahawks closed in on another NFC West title with a 35-6 romp over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday night.Seattle (11-4) moved into a tie with Arizona (11-4) for first in the NFC West and the Seahawks hold the tiebreaker by virtue of two wins over the Cardinals.Wilson had the longest run of his career (55 yards) and matched the longest pass of his career (80) in the Seahawks fifth straight victory.Marshawn Lynch sat out the first quarter with what the team called an upset stomach, then came in to score on a 6-yard run in the second quarter and a spectacular, multiple tackle-breaking 79-yard scoring run in Seattles 21-point fourth quarter.After his long run, Lynch spun around in the air and grabbed his crotch facing the field before falling to the turf.A Seattle win at home over St. Louis in next weekends regular-season finale would clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the defending Super Bowl champs.Arizonas only hope of winning the division is that the Seahawks lose to the Rams and the Cardinals win at San Francisco. Otherwise, Arizona will be relegated to a wild-card spot and a first-round game on the road.The Cardinals had their most one-sided loss of the season and their only one at home in eight games.Third-string quarterback Ryan Lindley, pressed into action with an injury to Drew Stanton in the previous game, was 18 for 216 yards and an interception against a Seattle defence that ranks No. 1 in the NFL and has allowed 33 points in its last five games.Arizona hoped to stay close and keep it low-scoring with its usually tough defence.But Seattle ripped it apart through the air and on the ground.Wilson completed 20 of 31 for 339 yards, including touchdown passes of 80 and 20 yards to tight end Luke Willson of LaSalle, Ont. Lynch gained 113 yards in 10 carries, and Wilson ran for 88 yards in six attempts.The blowout would have been worse had Steven Hauschka not missed three field goals.Arizonas only scores were field goals of 27 and 32 yards by Chandler Catanzaro. The Cardinals only scores the last two games are six field goals by the rookie kicker.Just as he did in Seattles victory 19-3 over Arizona a month ago, Wilson did a great deal of the Seahawks damage with his feet.His 55-yard run on the final play of the first quarter moved the Seahawks past midfield, but Seattle stalled and Hausschkas 52-yard field goal was wide right.Arizona took over at its 42 and, with the help of two Seattle penalties and Arizona moved in to get Catanzaros first field goal and lead 3-0.On the second play after Arizonas kickoff, Willson got behind the Cardinals defence, Wilson lofted the ball in perfectly and the 80-yard touchdown play put Seattle up 7-3 with 7:03 to play in the half.Another Wilson scramble, of 22 yards, helped set up Lynchs 6-yard touchdown run that made it 14-3 3:41 before the half.It stayed 14-3 until the fourth quarter, when the bottom fell out for the Cardinals in what had been termed the biggest regular-season game in franchise history.Then the three late TDs made it a blowout.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Michael Carter-Williams Jersey .

What a great run they had in the 2004 Playoffs as the entire city of Calgary seemed to be behind them. The great play of Jarome Iginla, Craig Conroy and goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff carried the Flames throughout the playoffs. After knocking off the Canucks in the first round, the Flames pulled off a huge upset, beating the Presidents Trophy-winning Red Wings in the second round. The sky was the limit for the Flames after taking down the Wings, and they almost came through. After beating San Jose in the Conference Final, they would square off against the Tampa Bay Lightning for the Cup. The Flames jumped out to a 3-2 series lead, but would devastatingly lose the final two games of the series, making the Lightning the 2004 Stanley Cup champions. The Flames were ridiculously close to winning the cup considering the series went the distance, and both game 6 and game 7 losses were one-goal games. There was also a controversial call in Game 6 where Flames forward Martin Gelinas looked to score a late goal to break a 2-2 tie, but it did not count. Replays showed that the puck did cross the line:The Flames were awfully close, and if a couple calls went their way, they couldve been the latest Canadian team to win a cup.Vancouver CanucksIts hard to forget the spirited run the Vancouver Canucks put together during the 2011 playoffs. The Canucks were actually a cup favorite, as they would finish first in the league and win the Presidents Trophy. They carried over their great regular season play over to the playoffs, knocking off the Blackhawks, Predators, and the Sharks in the opening three rounds. Players like the Sedins, Kesler, Burrows, and Bieksa were the anchors of their success. Luongo definitely struggled at times during the playoffs but ended up having a solid performance overall, recording four shutouts. The Canucks would face off against the Boston Bruins for the Stanley Cup, but after jumping out to a 3-2 series lead, they would eventually lose the series in 7 games. With so much on the line, it was surprising to see thee Canucks lose 4-0 in the seventh game in a pretty slow paced game.dddddddddddd It was still a great run, and the furthest the Canucks would get in the Luongo era. You can check out a tribute to their run here:Edmonton OilersThe Oilers arguably had the most exciting playoff run out of any Canadian team since the Habs won it all in 1993. In 2006, the Oilers qualified for the playoffs as the eighth and final seed of the Western Conference. They were underdogs all the way through, but they just kept winning. First they took down the Presidents Trophy-winning Detroit Red Wings. They would then beat the Sharks in the second round and easily knock off the Ducks in the Conference Final in just five games. All of a sudden, the eighth seeded Oilers were in the Stanley Cup Final against the Carolina Hurricanes. Chris Pronger, Shawn Horcoff, Fernando Pasani, Ales Hemsky, and Ryan Smyth were some of the key pieces that carried the Oilers to the Cup Final. But nobody on the roster was more important than their goalie, Dwayne Roloson, who caught fire during the post-season. Roloson ended the playoffs with a .927 save percentage, but would unfortunately injure himself in the opening game of the Cup Final. Jussi Markkanen would start for the Oilers the rest of the way, and although he played fine, he did not bring the same quality of goaltending that Roloson brought. The Oilers would not be able to take down Cam Ward and the Hurricanes, as they would lose in seven games in a close series. It was fun to watch as they over-achieved with their underdog status and as many Oilers fans will tell you; you never know what could have happened if Roloson did not get hurt. You can see the Roloson injury here:So there you have it. Canadas Western Conference teams have gotten much closer to the Cup than the Eastern Conference teams since the Habs Cup win in 1993. The Winnipeg Jets just rejoined the league so they are yet to have a noteworthy run. Youve seen the East, and now youve seen the West. Who do you think was the closest Canadian team to winning a Stanley Cup since 1993? And which Canadian team do you think will break the slump and win it next? Tweet us @BarDown.
