I’m delighted we get to see the Lightning because I adore Vinny Lecavalier. I’m going to be extremely disappointed if the Canucks don’t get back into the win column tonight because the the Lightning have been giving up a ton of goals since Mike Smith went down and they have one of the worst road [...]

I Don’t Wanna Lose My Favourite Swede!
TSN really has a way of messing up a girl’s day. Matty Ohlund might be headed to free agency.
I want to be here if it’s a good fit for myself and my family and the Canucks. If not, it’s time to go,” said Ohlund, who has spent his entire NHL career with Vancouver. “It’s not [...]

Thursday Things
1.
I was in the process of writing here that Michael Grabner had been called up from the Moose to fill in for Demitra and how I was so excited to see the little rookie sniper, but since then Canucks.com has updated that Demitra is ready to go and Grabner was sent back down. Poor guy. It’s [...]

Last Round of Pictures on the Road Trip
So, I really shouldn’t post these pictures considering the boys lost last night. They should only be cooed over when they sweep road trips, but oh what the heck. I only saw the first period because I went to see a hypnotist with a good buddy. I’m unable to offer you any in depth analysis other [...]

News and More Pictures
- TSN has an article today mentioning that the NHLPA has raised $115, 000 for the Luc Bourdon memorial fund. That’s really fantastic. Good on the players and everyone involved.
- Hordi and his wife have had a healthy baby boy. Congratulations to them. I’m sure the little guy will be chucking his fists in no time. [...]

Canucks/Leafs
What a game. I don’t think anyone thought it would end quite like that. Perfect. Mats got a very nice reception and a nice tribute video. The big guy got pretty emotional, which makes sense. Even I was a little emotional hearing that crowd and seeing his face and I’ve only been watching him for [...]

Roster Updates and Part 2 of Road Trip Pictures
- Hordi flew home to be in Vancouver for the birth of his first child and will miss the game in Toronto. Congratulations Hordichuks! I hope everything goes well.
- My favourite little rookie Jannik Hansen is out with an injured finger. Noooooooooo!! Hopefully it won’t be too long. Alex Bolduc was called up from Manitoba [...]

The Road Trip of Winningness and Prettiness
That was a very nice win. The Canucks took over the first period and put on a show. Especially the Sedins and Burrows. Who knew all along Burr was apparently the third triplet. A much better defensive effort too from everyone. Alex Edler in particular was very good. He seems to have suddenly turned a [...]

Canucks/Flames
I love this team. Love them. Somehow, even though they got outplayed by the Flames for the second and most of the first periods, they still managed to come out in the third and win in a shootout. They never win the shootout.
Sure, it wasn’t flawless by any means. The defensive turnovers alone made my [...]

Canucks/Flames Preview
Two things are highly amusing me right now.
1. Mike Keenan’s claims that Willie Mitchell has an illegal stick. Cute Mikey Mike, cute. Mostly it’s because I’m actually 12 and quotes like this make me giggle.
“I’ve got a tape measure. It’s not my stick that does the work, anyway. It’s my brain. I think it’s a [...]
