Deep All Star Weekend Thoughts

-  It was nice to see that Lui seemed to really enjoy the All Star weekend.  Even though I was terrified he was going to hurt his man part again, it was cool that he was able to go.  He was pretty funny when he was miced up.  Oh and whoever gave him his new [...]

The Hockey Equivalent of Roses and Chocolate

You know how I said in my last post the Canucks were like a terrible, terrible boyfriend?  Well, that was kind of mean.  Although well deserved really. Then just as I was composing my Dear John letter, they do the hockey version of the terrible boyfriend thing where they bring you flowers or do something adorable to convince [...]

Just So We’re Clear…

So, you guys are never going to win again?  It’s cool.  I just wanted to know what the plan was.  Enjoy the All Star break!
I missed the game last night.  It was my buddy’s birthday and all.  You know, sometimes I have to go and be social.  And I have a feeling it was infinitely [...]

A Study In Pictures

I have no words anymore.  Sorry boys.  No baked goods for you.  I really thought they were finally going to get a win when they were up 3-1.  Sadly, in a span of a few minutes they forgot that this

really needs to stay out of here

Which led me to doing this

 

This little baby here is [...]

Confidence, My Pretties

The Canucks get set to face the surging Blue Jackets tonight, in the middle of their biggest slump of the season.  Not exactly joy inducing.  The Blue Jackets have a rookie of the year candidate in goal and have a chance to make the playoffs for the first time in franchise history.  It’s a pretty [...]

A New Approach

OK, so that Coyotes game has to be rock bottom, eh?  Six consecutive losses at home.  That ties a franchise record set in the Canucks first season by the way.  It’s just hard to know what to say anymore.  I’ve been leaning towards firing the coach, but Gillis and Matty Ohlund defended the coaching staff today, [...]

Spinning Tires

I can’t believe that’s what the effort was after getting screamed at by the coaches.  Sure, they tried to come back in the third, but too little too late.  I can’t keep watching this.  I mean I will, because somehow I’ve become pathetically devoted, but I won’t like it.  The players need to put out a [...]

Bowness Should Start Carrying A Whip

Apparently Rick Bowness is getting as irritated with the Canucks recent play as the rest of us, and absolutely tore a strip off them at practice.  He was saying such awful things that Kevin Bieksa hoped there were no kids in the stands.  Bow always seems so sweet and cheerful but I guess the Canucks [...]
