December 17 – I hope everyone is near a TV tonight because the Canucks retire jerseys about once every thousand years. For one last time, let’s tap the sticks for #16, Captain Canuck, Trevor Linden. Now and always a tall glass of awesome.

December 14 – Arrested Development anyone? The Canucks need a swift kick in the ass and I guess I’m the one who’s going to have to do it. Albeit metaphorically. In an officially sanctioned liveblog too.

December 9 – Did you know you can donate $100 to charity and get to watch pregame warmups at Nashville home games from the penalty box? Here’s an idea: let’s just put O’Brien in there now so at least we did something charitable this holiday season.

December 8 – Over the weekend Vancouver used their time to end one losing streak and start potentially another. So it’s a festivus miracle that Luongo is rumored to be back by the weekend.

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 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 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 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.
