Get Involved Damn It
Mar 26th, 2008 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized
…so I get back from vacation to see the Canucks drop dead for the final two periods and let the Flames steal a victory from them? A few key thoughts actually:
1. Bieksa? I feel bad you’ve missed half the season. But don’t take it out on the rest of the depleted defense by playing like complete shit.
2. Burrows? My heart bleeds that you’re tired, but pushing the net off its moorings in such a blatant way (and the ensuing goal thanks to the penalty) I hope is enough for loosen that ego you’ve developed in the past few weeks.
3. Naslund? Why can’t you play like that every game?
4. Luongo? You played like a maniac and still take blame for the loss? Dude, stop it. Get angry like the rest of us. Call out Nonis. It’s the only way he’ll learn during the offseason.
5. Bourdon? Who knew not having you in the game was your biggest asset?
6. McIver? Who knew you were secretly being a carwreck so Bourdon could play more?
7. Pyatt? Your fight .1 seconds into the game with Vandermeer? Brilliant. Sadly, we actually need you to score. So knock it off, that’s why Cowan is around.
7. Cowan? Ugh, forget it…
So that small cushion Vancouver had in the standings is gone as Nashville is two back, Edmonton is three back and the Canucks are tied with the f’ing Avs. Son of a bitch, look who they play tonight. The NHL schedule makers really are good. Someone give them a cookie.
The Flames, who started last night’s game flat partly because they had just played in Colorado the night before, beat Vancouver because they adjusted their play, found their spine and took control of the game (an all-too easy way to beat the Canucks actually). So how about we right the wrongs in the universe, fly into Denver tonight and do the exact same thing to the Avs?
Get involved Vancouver. Pretend like you want the post season, ok? If I have to watch Theodore beat Luongo because the Canucks drop dead in front of their goalie again, I’m lighting something on fire.

Looks like you are lighting some shit on fire…man. The guys are a sad excuse for a hockey team.

And yet they are still in the playoffs. You know what’s going to happen…they’ll exchange wins and losses down the stretch and be eliminated on the last day. Just to keep these tease going for as long as possible.

Yup. That about sums it up.
March 27th, 2008 5:08 pm
Yeaaah. I don’t understand how the Canucks can just change after one intermission. They were playing well the first period of both games.. wtf changed and they suddenly dropped dead like flies on the 2nd and 3rd.
And god. It’s like Bieksa needs to fulfill a quota of at least 3 brutal giveaways per game.
I think games like the flames and avs yesterday reminds us of how valuable Cooke was when it comes to playing physical… well when he’s on his game. he would have matched them hit for hit were he still with the team.
Bleh.
leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Eh, having Cooke in the lineup wouldn’t have made either game better. Despite their post game remarks, this team has no confidence. Pyatt, Nazzy, the twins and Kesler are supposed to be pulling this team forward and they are not. Couple that with a depleted defense and a goalie who can’t pull this team on his own anymore and you have the Vancouver Canucks. It’s pathetic….my only question is what’s worst: getting blanked by the Wings in four games in the first round or missing the playoffs entirely?
March 27th, 2008 9:54 pm
I’m not sure at this point which option would make me more miserable. I hate the idea of not having playoff hockey in Vancouver, but I don’t want to be embarassed and pissed off either.
March 28th, 2008 12:51 am
Nah, I didn’t mean Cooke would have made much of a difference… but if he was having a good game.. XD it would have (sort of) done wonders to the energy of the team.
I forgot who said it in the TSN broadcast but.. both Avs and Flames just really took it to the Canucks physically.. usually the Canucks respond.. not so much the swedes, but everyone else will take it back to them and provide some sort of energy… we just havne’t seen that in the last few games we lost.
Anyway… scoring wise, the twins, Nazzy, Pyatt has sort of brought it… but take the game for Calgary for example, it’s pretty difficult for them to create any offense when we were penalized for practically a half of each period or something, resulting in less item to create any offense (although
I doubt they would have scored more than at least 1 more goal lol if they had more ice)
anyway I’m babbling.
What’s worse? … hmm
Both seem like pretty even situations-ish. haha. The only positive in missing the playoff is better draft position. :3 I’d still take the playoffs.. at least we won one game against the Wings haha… I’d be more worried if we go against the SHARKS.

I’d still prefer the draft pick and let the Wings and Sharks feast on the 7th and 8th seeds. This summer is going to be a whole new look (with naslund and morrison likely gone) so the more Nonis has to watch other teams play hockey and not his, the more pressure he’ll feel to roll the dice at the draft on some deals and then hopefully get some offense in here next year.

Another place is to install the low voltage garden lights under overhangs where there is less chance of rain to reach them. Another solution is to install light shields which can be fitted over the low voltage garden lights and seal them so no moisture can get in.

Although Ambien is very familiar drug in the pharmaceutical industry, its very common to see patients who have Ambien overdose symptoms. Most patients tend to use the drug in increased doses to have the desired effects resulting in an unexpected Ambien overdose that can often have fatal results. Patients who are depressed and contemplating suicide also tend to intentionally try an Ambien overdose to commit suicide as painlessly as possible.

The drug is very effective in treating insomnia, to improve brain function in hypoxic patients, and to improve the conditions of patients who have brain injuries. The drug has also been recommended for use with patients that are in a minimally vegetative state to promote them into a more conscious state. The drug has several beneficial effects that are still under research. The most common use that doctors use it for is to treat insomnia but unfortunately the drug does tend to cause addition and dependence. In an effort to get the same comfortable nine hours of sleep, patients tend to up the dosage themselves without the consent of a doctor resulting in a involuntary overdose ambien problems. Overdose on ambien could also result in an rebound insomnia problem when the drug was discontinued. Recent studies have also shown that patients who regularly use overdose ambien medications can get addicted to it as it has a higher tendency or tolerance.

Howdy! I simply would like to give an enormous thumbs up for the great information you could have here on this post.

I needed to compose you one very little observation just to give many thanks the moment again relating to the exceptional ideas you’ve discussed at this time. This has been certainly tremendously open-handed with people like you to allow extensively what a number of us could possibly have advertised as an electronic book to earn some money for their own end, even more so since you could possibly have tried it in case you decided. These smart ideas in addition worked to provide a good way to realize that someone else have the same zeal like my own to find out much more with regards to this problem. Certainly there are a lot more pleasant sessions up front for those who read your blog post.
