Nucks Misconduct

Feb 5th, 2009 | By Mike | Category: Lead Story, awwwww shit

February 5: As of today, Sean Zandberg and I are heading on over to the SB Nation world to bring you the best in Canucks hockey at our new home: nucksmisconduct.com.

Do come along and play with the our shiny new toys won’t you?



This Is Progress?

Feb 1st, 2009 | By Mike | Category: Canucks = Fail, Incessant Bitching, Rants, Reviews

February 1 – Roughly four weeks until the trade deadline. Roughly eight weeks until the end of the season.

And the Canucks have lost nine at home and are two more losses away from tying their franchise record for consecutive defeats.

And some would call last night progress. Would you?



Do Or Do Not…There Is No Try

Jan 31st, 2009 | By Mike | Category: Canucks = Fail, News, Previews

January 31 – Well thank God this month is over huh? You think they can turn this skid around tonight? And if they don’t shouldn’t we just own up to being the worst team in the league? At least we’d have an identity.



Seven…Seven Straight Losses (Ah Ah Ah)!

Jan 29th, 2009 | By Mike | Category: Canucks = Fail, News, awwwww shit

January 29 – Remember earlier this year when the Canucks teased a marketing campaign with the word Seven? Who knew that number would be so relevant just a few months later, only now it’s the man behind the bench who needs to be “retired.” If you’re so inclined, let your voice be heard.



Ready Or Not, Here They Come, So Let’s Liveblog It

January 28 – Can Vancouver break it and stay relevant in the playoff hunt? Or should we start discussing what kind of kitchen linoleum feels the best on your face as you pass out, blind stinking drunk, in a fit of rage at another loss? Your guess is as good as mine…but let’s liveblog it anyway.



Luongo Returns, Everyone Else Leaves For Hawaii Early

Jan 21st, 2009 | By Mike | Category: Canucks = Fail, News

January 21: Sure, Vancouver took it to the Sharks but the end result seems oddly the same as the rest of January, a month in which they have eight points out of a possible 20. And even the nicest grade school teacher knows that’s an F.



Leaving It All Out On The Ice

Jan 20th, 2009 | By Mike | Category: Previews, Rants, awwwww shit

January 20 – I’ve spent a week kicking this team around but tonight I’ll play a different tune: they just have to win. We can’t let another San Jose reclamation project start well on our watch. We just can’t.



What Would You Do?

Jan 17th, 2009 | By Mike | Category: Gillis will smack the spit out of your mouth, News

January 17 – Two more games until the All Star break and it’s certainly not a stretch to think the Canucks may have two more losses in them, bringing the four game skid to a six game train wreck. Gillis won’t tip his hat and Vigneault and the players will all say the right thing. But if it happens, what would you do?



It’s the end of Vigneault as we know it (and I feel fine)

Jan 16th, 2009 | By Mike | Category: Canucks = Fail, Incessant Bitching, Rants

January 16: No more excuses. No more games like last night (or like against the Devils or the Sharks or the Caps). No more. It’s nothing personal Alain. It’s just time. Pull the trigger Mike.



It’s That Time Again

Jan 14th, 2009 | By Mike | Category: Canucks = Fail, Incessant Bitching, Rants

January 14: I think we can agree that the Canucks have been painfully average. Luongo returning should help that, but what if it doesn’t? How do you fix that before this season is officially lost? Forget adding new players, here’s a novel idea: axe the coach.
