Nuckies are on a roll

What a fun month to watch the Canucks! After that Nashville game, they figured out how they had to play and now they are on a major roll.  There are so many good things to talk about.
Nazzy’s “comeback” and inspired play. Wow!  He’s skating so well! His wrist shot is back! He’s having fun on the [...]

I love this team

Every time I doubt these guys for a second, they go and prove me wrong.  I have to admit, I was expecting a loss because of their late arrival into Minnesota.  If they had come out tired, I would have had a hard time being mad at them for it.  That was just a fun [...]

Canucks 4 Oilers 5(SO)

Well they managed to get a point out of a game they had no business winning.  For the first time since the Nashville fiasco, the boys came out really flat and let the Oilers skate circles around them. It happens. As long as they get back to their good habits in the next few games, [...]

Matty O Suspension and another win

So Matty O was suspended for four games.  Matty O is my favorite player so I’m annoyed I won’t see him for awhile.  I’m not denying he deserved a suspension.  He definitely did.  I’m just pretty annoyed that he was given a suspension while all of the Wild’s elbows to the head were apparently not even looked [...]

Canucks 6 Wild 2

Who saw that one coming? I should admit that I wasn’t looking forward to this game at all.  The Canucks sure proved me wrong about this being a boring game to watch. 
Easily the best we’ve seen the boys look this year.  Their puck movement was fantastic and they look like they have their confidence back.  [...]

Ryan Kesler is a stud

The way the schedule is set up this year, there is a bunch of long breaks in between games.  I thought I better come up with some other things to write about when there isn’t a new game to talk about.  Eventually the Humming Giraffe will have posts about why each Canuck is fantastic, and [...]

Good game boys!

This is the best we’ve seen the Canucks yet. They came out flying and didn’t stop working the whole first two periods. Their forechecking was fantastic! While the home record is still appalling, they are a perfect 5-0 against their division.  It will be tough having to play Colorado back to back, but it finally feels like they’re on a [...]

I have no idea what to say

That Nashville game was so horrible, I don’t even know what to talk about. I completely fell in love with this team last year. They weren’t scoring many goals, but the guys worked their asses off.  They were scrappy, and everyone had a role on the ice.  All the hockey people had written them off, and [...]
