December 1 – Nothing ruins a well-earned and well-rested vacation like seeing your team lose to Calgary twice in a row. Several curse words come to mind. But is it the end of the world? Of course not. Well, not yet anyway.

November 27: Vacation west coast style has included (1) informing SF folks that there is indeed a hockey team near them and (2) going to see that very team play. A great game but likely no where near as much ’spirit’ as Burrows and the rest of the Canucks will bring tonight against Calgary.

November 24 – Your new netminders are set: a mohawky Sanford and “I just graduated third grade”-looking Schneider. A motley crew indeed…so are the Canucks screwed or what?

November 22 – Humiliate Naslund’s Rangers? Check. Let Demitra pick apart his old team? Check. Bang heads with our former favorite pest Matt Cooke? Cooke was chucked out in 30 seconds. The bigger news is Luongo is out and it’s officially the Curtis Sanford show.

November 19 – It’s cool, we’ve all moved on. Some day we’ll all be friends again, but today it’s time to show you why this team is better off without you Nazzy.

November 17 – Taking in the Demitra & Wellwood show in livebloggy format in a bit. And while I suspect they’ll win tonight opps!, it’s Wednesday I am staring at intently. But first thing’s first: a dance with Garth Snow, the best back-up goalie ever.

November 15: The big news for gamenight tonight is that the team that has already retired us and given us a gold star now gives us another object of consumerist love to sink our rapidly depreciating currencies into: third jerseys!

November 14 – OK OK, I have the real sources for the third jersey now. But my option is still better I’m sorry to say. And congrats to Luongo for another notch in his list of franchise records: a shutout streak of 242 minutes & 36 seconds that was snapped in a 2-1 loss to Colorado. Sigh.

November 12 Update: Sakic is out and the Dane is back. You know what’s almost better than playing 201:08 minutes of perfect hockey for the captain? Three days rest and a date with the hated Avs on the horizon.

November 7 – A first place showdown with the hated Wild looms on the horizon tomorrow. Let me get the hateball rolling: Nordy, the hideously stupid Wild mascot, appears to have a broken left leg. An odd choice considering Ohlund’s fibula cracking whack on Mikko Koivu last year.
