Canucks/Flames live blog. Last chance to get back in it.

 First period
- One gulp of vodka&sprite and Nazzy has knocked down Iginla. That was a great hit on stupid crease head. Good start.
-Another sip of tasty alcohol and the Lames deflected a goal in. Fiddlesticks! So much for that good start. Come on guys. Play like Nazzy.
-Pucks are being turned over everywhere (by the Canucks) Not [...]

I am an empty hockey shell

I just don’t even know what to say anymore.  They look exhausted and beat down and like they don’t even care anymore.  And you know what? I’m at that point too.  I can’t even get pissed off anymore. 
They most definitely need a whole bunch more scoring punch next year, but the guys that they do [...]

Look what you’ve turned me into

Mo is out for the season with a torn ACL and Lui has left for Florida for the birth of his first kid.  Poor Mo.  He just came back from his wrist injury, and now this is another brutal, long term injury.  His career is very much up in the air now, because he’s a UFA this summer.  [...]

Canucks are a total mess

I don’t know what is going on.  How does this happen twice in two nights?  I actually got nervous when we were up 2-1.  That’s pretty pathetic.  I know we have holes in defence, but it’s more than that.  What a mess.  I don’t even think I can write about it.  It’s hard to tell [...]

3-2 Canucks lose

This game made me so angry.  I know the Canucks have had massive injuries this year, and it is impressive that they’re still in the playoff picture, but this was unacceptable.  When other people outside of Vancouver say how the Canucks are untalented and nothing without Lui, it makes me mad, because I think the other [...]

Canucks finally seem to be going in the right direction

The Canucks are certainly a puzzle this season.  Two depressing losses against the Ducks and Coyotes, where no one was showing much life, and it felt like the season might be over.  Followed up by a rousing inspirational speech by Trev Linden, freshly inserted into the line up, and then two energetic wins against the Stars [...]

Canucks finally beat the Kings

This game almost broke my spirit when the Kings took the lead so late in the third.  The Canucks had worked so hard but were just unable to finish.  Thinking we were going to get swept by the Kings was a horrible feeling.  Just in time Burr and Kes came through yet again! 
Burr and Kes [...]

Matty Ohlund gets to help Canucks crush Blues. Kesler and Bieksa back too.

Matty Ohlund apparently has superhero healing powers.  He will be back playing tonight, unless a further set back occurs.  The Humming Giraffe is breaking out the champagne!  It was reported that he would most likely be out for the season, so this is fabulous news.  It’s much more fun to blog when your favourite player [...]

Canucks stomp Predators 6-2

Well that was fun!  This was a surprise.  Just when you thought the Canucks were going to roll over and die, and never score more than one goal again, they bust out with this.  Sure, Nashville had goalie issues, but the Canucks dominated pretty much from start to finish.  What a great team game this [...]

Matty Ohlund hurt long term? Noooooooooo!

 

The Humming Giraffe is a sad place right now.  We had been dealing fairly well with the our season slowly going down the tubes, by drinking vast amounts of alcohol, but today is a very miserable day indeed.  TSN  is reporting that Matty Ohlund, stud d-man, and cherished Humming Giraffe namesake, is out with bone spurs in [...]
