Goodbye Cookie

I’m pretty shocked.  I had somehow convinced myself Nonis was going to do nothing today.  Cookie wasn’t having the best season, but he had looked good recently on the kid line.  I don’t know anything about Pettinger, so I can’t say if he’s an upgrade.
I’ll miss you honey.  Thanks for all the clutch goals and [...]

Four in a row!

I love this team!  Four games in a row feels great.  The defense is finally getting healthy and it appears to have strengthened the whole team.  Bieksa seems to have influenced the other guys, and they’re pinching in like crazy. It’s fun to watch.  The forwards have an easier time getting set up as well.  [...]

Luongo kicks ass and steals two points

Did Lui deserve to win this one or what? That was a hell of a performance.  He’s been playing well lately, but he was just insane in this one.  Thank goodness he decided to show up, because the rest of the Canucks looked pretty dead. 
Except for Mason Raymond.  He had a fabulous game.  Maybe when [...]

Canucks are going streaking!

Two wins isn’t a long streak, but it feels good.  It is very satisfying beating the Wild in their own rink.  The Canucks were schooling the Wild in the first half, and they were lucky Backstrom was playing well.  It seems like winning that fight filled game on Saturday gave the guys some of their [...]

Canucks win prolonged brawl 4-2

Wow!  This game was insane! Probably the most entertaining game this year.  I always figured the Canucks and the Lamers hated each other the most, but I think the Oilers and the Canucks might hate each other just as much, if not more.  There were fights constantly and scrums after every whistle. The Canucks really needed this [...]

Two points! And an entertaining game

I enjoyed this game.  The Canucks came out really pissed off after that Colorado game and it showed in their play.  Of course it wasn’t an easy win, because that just wouldn’t be Canucks hockey.  That weird bounce on the Hawks second goal got me pretty depressed, but it evened out later.  Everyone seemed to have [...]

Good try boys!

Awwww, boys!  You tried so hard.  I’m sorry you can’t buy a win.  My heart is breaking for you right now.  Your luck has got to turn around eventually, hopefully on Thursday! Cheer up and go out for some beers. And d guys? If you could just start hanging out in a bubble or something, [...]

Times are not good, sports fans

I don’t want to talk about it.  I’ll just say the same things all over again. 
This is about all I got for right now:
The Florida announcers were really praising Matty Ohlund.  Nice to see him getting some props around the league.
It breaks my heart that Nazzy didn’t make that penalty shot, because now all the [...]
