I hurt myself getting back on the bandwagon

Jan 4th, 2007 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

You see that in Kesler’s eyes? That sense of confidence? That degree of swagger? The look that just screams “Welcome to the garage bitch”?
Suddenly, it’s fun again to watch this team.
Here’s hoping they can stomp the Oilers again to set up a very fun Luongo/Auld tilt on Sunday (c’mon Jacques, don’t use Belfour…without Bert playing, [...]

Don’t ya think?



Hallelujah. Holy shit. Where’s the Tylenol?

Ever seen a grown man cry? I was close, I’ll admit it. Tears of rage really. And it wasn’t so much the fact the Canucks lost 2-0 (believe me, this year, I can expect these things in advance).
It was being subjected to the Boston play by play guy refer to Bieksa as “Beeska” ALL NIGHT [...]



Sabourin In Net Means Free Shots (maybe)!

A rare trip east (maybe the closest they get to the NYC metro region in fact…and I can’t go because I need to find a damn xmas tree. Ugh) brings the Canucks face to face with the wily Bruins. Both teams are quite similar: each ‘reloaded’ in the offseason (Chara/Luongo respectively), both are 5th in [...]



A wild second round

Dec 19th, 2006 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

So…it did go in. So what? As Lui said, Todd White kicked one in during the previous matchup, so chalk it up to fate. Besides, do you know how many bounces didn’t go this team’s way in November?!? It’s about time something did!
As for tonight, I think the Canucks can take this home and home [...]



History Is Fun!

There are only three “legion of dooms” I know of – one was Superfriends related, one was two hilarious looking wrestlers in the WWF and the last (one that was, you know, REAL) was the name of the top Flyer line during the short-lived period of the 90’s when the Flyers were great. Their LOD [...]



Smithers…are they booing me? Uh, no sir, they’re saying "Boo-urns!"

Dec 12th, 2006 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

They wanted Anson Carter to come back, but Anson wanted the money. When Anson came back, he was deservingly booed like the money-first guy that he is. Similarly, they wanted Ed Jovanovski to come back, but in this new era of a salary cap and on the heels of a failed season, it simply couldn’t [...]



Do it for Wiggles

To Cam Ward:
We recognize you live and work in the hilarious Southeast, so you may not be aware of the how bad it’s getting up here. Simply stated, we can’t score. We’re quite close to a full on ’suck’ actually.
So, due to our current offensive ineptitude, I regret to inform you that we’ve kidnapped this [...]



Bartender, we’ll need a few more over here…

Dec 5th, 2006 | By Mike | Category: Uncategorized

Team 1040 just reported that Pyatt is gone for 2-4 weeks with a partially torn ligament in his shoulder. I missed Rypien’s injury but it sounded like a slight groin tear which is closer to 8 weeks. Salo is looking more like a 7-10 day injury.
The Pyatt and Rypien injury are just complete punches in [...]



LOL, LMAO, ROFL…

Truth is stranger then fiction:
Winners of one straight and two of their last three, the Canucks can tonight claim top spot in hockey’s goofiest division with a victory over Edmonton. – Vancouver Sun
Well, ok then! Here’s hoping the boys can win over the Smyth-less Oil and enjoy the NW penthouse for a whopping 24 hours [...]
