If I Were a Hockey Player…

Jan 30th, 2007 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

A guy can dream, thanks Zanstorm.
If I Were a Hockey Player…

Uniform Number: 31
Position: Goalie
Nickname: To my teammates – Lil bastard, the Miz, Stone Cold. To the other team – ‘that fucker’ or ’shitbrick’
Dream Linemates: OFFENSE – [...]



Shove the NHL into your pigment

Jan 25th, 2007 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

Far be it for me to rain shit on people and their personal preferences, but a recent comment to Alanah about the mere possibility of some mortal soul walking around with a Dan Cloutier tattoo etched on them for life had me thinking about other skin-altering hockey tributes people may have. Well, thank you Google [...]

We got who for what? Is this exciting? Should I be excited? Someone please tell me, my brain ain’t working this afternoon…



An all star boring ass week

Jan 23rd, 2007 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

…so what else to do then link to random musings from around the intraweb?
1. Learn likely way way too much about a team you likely hate very very much. Also marvel at McCabe’s stellar sense of humor as well.
2. Laugh yourself silly over Buccigross’ (who’s popularity I will never understand) assertion that the Canucks should [...]



Winning while losing (cue the glam band ballad)

Jan 20th, 2007 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

It took the Canucks to lose a close one, 4-3 in the shootout to the East’s best team, for me to realize just how much I respect this team. I can’t help but draw comparisons to last year (every iteration of Crawford’s squads over the years for that matter) and I know that those previous [...]



Thursdays With Dave

Jan 18th, 2007 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

(DISCLAIMER: Obviously, none of this is real. Not to my knowledge anyway.)
On a quiet Thursday afternoon, an innocent phone call commences.
Waddell: Don here.Nonis: ‘zup Don, its D-slice.Waddell: Sweet god Dave, it’s been awhile. How’s the weather up there? It’s like 70 degrees here. So much tail in tank tops as they say.Nonis: Yeah yeah, [...]



Golf Clap

Jan 17th, 2007 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

Let’s reflect shall we? If you recall, this team was tagged to go no where (anywhere from 9th to 11th in the conference, often dead last in the division). And they still could, who knows. Around this time last season the Canucks were in first too and then proceeded to fall flatly through most of [...]



5 Things You Did Not Know About Yours Truly

Jan 11th, 2007 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

Sweet Jesus, I’ve been tagged by Sir Guerrero. I’ve never been tagged before in my brief blogging life so hopefully I won’t screw it up. Let’s divulge, shall we?
1. I take American kickboxing classes every other night and some Thai kickboxing lessons on specific weekends. I find an odd comfort in an activity where I [...]



The Pipes Are Calling

Jan 10th, 2007 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

I have to admit, it’s very hard not to dump on Dan Cloutier whenever possible. I recognize it’s in poor taste and generally not fair to a guy who put together some respectable seasons in Vancouver but suffered biblical meltdowns in the post season. So while it’s not really fair to wish him ill-will or [...]



We’re #1…in elevated blood pressure and children hearing us curse

Jan 8th, 2007 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

What an appropriate picture of sir Bobby Lui there. On the one hand, it captures that moment where he realized he beat his old team in a tight game. His elation must have been huge and we should give him props for not, in the heat of the moment, skating over to the nearest live [...]
