Happy Dance!

If totally wicked smart and kind of fetch James Mirtle is to be believed, the Canucks have clinched a playoff spot.  Wooooohooo!  Everyone do your best happy dance.  This season already rocks so much harder than last season.  I was deep into my tequila bottle this time last year.  
Huge game against the Hawks tonight.  A first [...]

Friday Afternoon Link Roundup

This video of Ryan Kesler visiting EA sports in Vancouver is worth a watch.  I love his sense of humour.  He should bring out that Robin Hood goal celebration in Canucks games again.  Heh.
Here’s a sweet article about Matty Ohlund from Canucks.com.  He’s having more fun this season than he did when he was younger.  [...]

Canucks Just Kick More Ass When You Make Them Bleed

What a game last night, darlings.  It was kind of a blood bath.  Oh but it felt like playoff hockey.  Can we finally put to rest this silly idea that Danny and Hank aren’t tough bitches?  I mean, man.  Danny Sedin gets his face ripped apart from a high stick and goes out one shift [...]

Canucks/Stars and the Debut of Ossi Vaananen

So, I guess there’s been a little brouhaha in Vancouver over Lui’s comments on After Hours on Saturday, huh?  Ahhhh.  You have to laugh at the amazing level of insecurity with Canucks fans/media even when the going is good.  Let`s try to be nice and just say it`s part of our charm.  Do I think [...]

You Guys Are Good And I’m Not Sure What To Do

I’m going to be straight up honest here.  This season has been bizarre for me.  Like any good red blooded Canucks fan, the majority of my fandom has been spent in misery and alcohol fueled depression.  There were a few bright spots, like the run to the playoffs in 07 and high fiving strangers in packed [...]

Adorable Pictures of the Day

 

 
So, my team is a bunch of very pretty 5 year olds?  Hee.
Poor Demo is out tonight because of that little bitch Steve Ott.  Hopefully his swollen knee is only a one game thing.  He’s been wicked with Mats Daddy and Kes.  Pyatt can fill in there short term, though anything long term and the [...]

10 Wins Feels Pretty Good

I hope all you darlings had a nice St. Patty’s day.  There was something delightful about celebrating my Irish heritage and getting to see the Canucks beat the Stars and set a franchise record all at once.  The fact that my favourite player got a nice video tribute and a standing ovation was just the [...]

Quotes of the Day

“I believe my record is 14-2-1 in the last 17 games”
“Like I said, all the goalies make mistakes behind the net, even the best ones in the league,” Luongo said. “So just because I make mistakes doesn’t mean it has to be amplified and suggested I don’t know how to play the puck.”
From the Vancouver [...]
