Never Mind Tavares...
....here's the number 10 pick by the Edmonton Oilers....Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson!!!I don't know one thing about the Swedish forward but I do know that if for whatever reason he doesn't make the big ice, it will be an absolute crime for the game of ho...
Ugghhh
All I can say right now is that I haven't felt this bad about a hockey series since '82 when the Canucks got swept by the Islanders in the Cup Final. After losing Game 3, when Richard Brodeur pushed the CBC camera over, I was taken aback as a young ...
FREEDOM!!!
About time that bastard Byfuglien got bounced out of the crease. Bob had enough of his shit tonight and gave him the business end of the trapper after some jawing back and forth, following the Hawks lone goal. Got to hand it to the Captain. He called...
Maniwaki Screening Room
Wow. What a Game 2. Sounds like a sequel to a successful run of box office smashes. The game even ran like a big screen action feature released on the May long. So with this in mind, let's revisit some of Hollywood's best and worst films by describin...
One Down...
...fifteen more to go. As Ryan Kesler chimes in from the post game bike on the Canucks Game 1 "W". And you know what that "W" stands for?Wheeewww....Talking about setting the tone. Luongo was lunatic throwing down one of the sweetest kick saves early...
POLAR OPPOSITES
Greetings from the great white north.To our American friends, yes that’s where you’ve always thought we’ve been. Doesn’t matter whether I’m at home resting in the Sugar Shack or off gallivanting around Inuvik, right? I mean, after all, what...
Look Bob...
...you're no Marty Brodeur or Turco. Or even an Eddie Belfour playing in some shinny game in Mississauga. So stop trying to get all fancy by handling the puck behind the net and just go back to stopping the damn things.On the flip side, we should sig...
The Return
So Kyle Wellwood returned to Toronto and what a game!Ok, if you're not on board with Mats and the Canucks after this one I don't know what's wrong with you. You must hate hockey. Simple as that. What a game. Probably the best contest of the year so f...
Successful Exorcism Of The 10-Game-Demon
So as I was in the centre of the universe yesterday:a. in an eastern sporting media bubble, watching the Leafs SYACC (Shit Your Air Canada Centre) on the tube and;b. consuming copious amounts of pasta with many a Honey Sleeman's I was completely in t...
Calling Out The Squad
My empathy has turned to rage.My pity has turned to hatred.In selfishness you've sunken to the depths.How much lower can you go?- Hatebreed "Below The Bottom"Harsh? Perhaps, but perhaps some of the patented brutality of the east coast metal-core mast...
More Concern About Bob
Why? Because he's coming off a string of terrible starts and gets inserted into the All Star Game in his home town only to pull said string that much longer. In short, he's beginning to unravel. Yes, I know it's only the an exhibition match, but as I...
Rapid Fire All Star Snippets
...and we're off.1. Was it right to send Bob? Of course it was. It's in his home town, it's a nice game of shinny that can hopefully help get him back in game shape and who else were we supposed to send? Curtis Sanford? Tayor Pyatt?2. Is it right tha...
A Stack Of Chips
So Shanny's back, and off to a hot start, scoring the first goal for the Devils tonight against the Preds. Now I know what you're saying, because I've heard much ado about much lately. You're going to say that signing Brendan Shanahan for 800Gs is g...
Sunday Odds From HQ
Ok. You got some bucks to bet on some Sunday sporting events. Here's where to put your money. Don't worry, I realize that times are tight. The only advice coming out of HQ is financially solid. So much so that would put even Suze Ormond or that craz...
Not Worried
Well ok, for a second I was. Concerned...but only for a second.As Bob let in a goal on his first shot, and proceeded to let in a few more shanky ones, I can honestly say I was looking at the Canucks unis and how much their colur scheme reminded me of...
+/-
Plus. Ryan Kesler? Am I actually typing this? Another two points out of him tonight in the vain attempt to dig out of the early hole. Why did the Canucks fall into the oil pit early at GM Place tonight?Minus. Our goal tending without Bob is atrociou...
Bob Is Back!
That's right. And will probably take to the ice against Phoenix on Thursday. With that let's spin up a vid by NY post-hardcore heavy weights, Rival Schools. Rival Schools - Good ThingsYup. ...
Rocky Mountain High
Ask me how I feel about the Canucks.Go on..Ask..........What's that?...How do I feel about our hockey team?Well I'm happy you asked because;IS IT 1982 AND THE FLYING V'S ARE OUT IN FULL FORCE AND RICHARD BRODEUR IS BETWEEN THE PIPES? Because I haven'...
Leading The Rush
[In which the Skip and I's linemate, Simone Gagne, laces up and leads the rush, digging up the puck from of toughest corners in today's NHL...]dear diary,boy was i wrong. when the dallas stars signed sean avery i thought to myself, "yes, this could ...
Look Mats...
...who's it going to be? You've been waffling around worse than a Sunday morning IHOP hangover special and it's about time you tied into your breaky. Delores, your friendly server, ain't so friendly anymore as it's just about 5pm as you've been star...
Shut Out In The Shoot Out
At the beginning of last year, I attended a surprise 30th birthday bash for the Skip at a curling rink in Montreal. The festivities were of a calibre rivalling the Scott Tournament Of Hearts as the many party goers were divided into rinks, to hurl m...
Triple 0
Is it:a. The name of the famous White Spot Burger available only in BC, save for a few in Alberta.b. Hunter Hearst Helmsley's unsuccessful younger brother who got power slammed out of the WWE by a very aged, yet very formidable Leapin' Lanny Poffo i...
Biek On Track
So apparently Kevin Bieksa can do more than scrap as he scored the only goal in the Canucks 1-0 win over the Coyotes tonight. And with that we're back in the game, winners of four of our last five and a point out of first in the NW.The Captain also m...
