Note to the new GM

Dear Mr. Gillis,
If you get us a Stanley Cup, I will probably love you forever.  Men in Vancouver will name their first born sons after you.  You seem like a really smart dude, and I’m excited to see what you can do for the Canucks.  It certainly hasn’t worked out for us so far.  If [...]

Canucks fans in limbo and random playoff thoughts

It seems like the new spring activity is guessing who the new Canucks GM will be.  Everyone is throwing out names like it’s going out of style.  Player agents seem to be popular.  And I even heard Pierre McGuire mentioned several times(lay off the crack pipe, people).  The longer we don’t here directly from the [...]

Dave Nonis fired!

This one caught me completely by surprise.  Sure, it was a disappointing year, but I figured he would have this summer to try and fix the problems.  I guess Aquilini wanted his own guy as GM.  From what I heard from Ryan Kesler on the radio, he was shocked and very disappointed.  I think Nonis could [...]

Newly crowned playoff hot bitches

The playoffs have been awesome so far!  While I was heartbroken about the Canucks being eliminated, it`s actually very fun and relaxing not having a team in the playoffs.  I can just sit back and enjoy the hockey and not worry about how the games turn out.  It`s very liberating, and has given me time [...]

Playoff Predictions in the East

Ottawa Senators VS. Pittsburgh Penguins
I don’t know a whole lot about these teams, but I think the Penguins have all the good mojo going into this series.  The Senators have been falling apart in the second half of the season, and with their Capitano and  Fisher out of this round, I don’t believe they have [...]

Playoff predictions in the West

To be honest, I’m not that excited for the playoffs.  I kind of feel like a hussy trying to pick teams to cheer for that aren’t my BC boys.  But the playoffs cannot be denied.  So I will do my best to overcome my mixed feelings.  Playoff hockey is one of favourite things in the whole [...]

The end is here

Now that my liver has recovered from all the funneling of alcohol, here are my rather scattered thoughts about the Canucks and their attempts at playing hockey.  All in all a very disappointing season.  Too many injuries, not enough talent up front, our MVP goalie (understandably) a distracted head case most of the season, too [...]

Three cheers for Trev Linden

So, the season comes to an end tonight.  A meaningless game against Calgary.  I bet it’s not meaningless to Trev Linden though.  While Trev hasn’t officially put the word out about his retirement, signs point to this being his last game as a Canuck.  He is a class act without question, and has proudly worn [...]

This is the season

                                                                           
So, I’ve said the angry “I’m never going to watch you losers again!”, and I’ve tried the accepting, realistic, “The season was over when he hit that four game losing skid, they’re just too injured, this draft is really deep this year anyways.”, mindset.  But I’ve concluded today that those two things don’t quite work for [...]

I’m a sad panda

                    Ballerina Forsberg is not our friend
I wish I could stop caring and cheering for you guys, but I can’t.  I hate you, but I can’t give up on you.  So step up!  Thursday is your last chance!  Lui, I know you’re tired and have had a stressful year, but you are getting paid a shit load [...]
