And Schneider is on his way back to Manitoba too.]]> http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2009/01/slip-sliding-back-into-mediocrity/feed/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/wolf-man-suspect-goaltending/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/wolf-man-suspect-goaltending/#comments Wed, 31 Dec 2008 14:46:02 +0000 Mike http://www.yankeecanuck.com/?p=1487 December 31: Up next in the carousel of goalies marking their own graves: Antonio Jason Labarbera, come on down! If you liked being left to hang yourself by your own skate laces down in the pits of LA, you may enjoy your trip north where your new team hasn't quite figured out how to play in front of either goalie you'll be looking to replace while the team captain sits with his wounded groin (and pride).]]> http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/wolf-man-suspect-goaltending/feed/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/here-comes-the-slow-train-from-philly/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/here-comes-the-slow-train-from-philly/#comments Tue, 30 Dec 2008 14:18:20 +0000 Mike http://www.yankeecanuck.com/?p=1474 December 30 - Look everyone! Santa shipped the chrome krona over just a bit late this holiday season. You can see here that he's checking his cell phone to see if Glen Sather called. Alas Mats, you're up shit creek now. And his baldness will get a first hand view of what life is as a Canuck when he views the Vancouver/Philadelphia game this evening. So let's liveblog the hell out of it!]]> http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/here-comes-the-slow-train-from-philly/feed/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/the-sens-go-marching-in/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/the-sens-go-marching-in/#comments Sun, 28 Dec 2008 19:04:02 +0000 Mike http://www.yankeecanuck.com/?p=1470 December 28: Our fair team can't buy a win these days. So what better way to cure those ills then welcoming the incredibly sucky Ottawa Senators into town? We have to win this game. We just have to.]]> http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/the-sens-go-marching-in/feed/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/duckscanucks-liveblog/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/duckscanucks-liveblog/#comments Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:47:28 +0000 Mike http://www.yankeecanuck.com/?p=1464 December 22 - Sure the picture is old, but you have to appreciate Giguere failing, Pronger not helping and an old man in front causing havoc. Just replace Smoke with (ugh) Sundin in a few weeks and you have your second half of the season! Liveblog goodness forthcoming.]]> http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/duckscanucks-liveblog/feed/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/ugh-i-cant-believe-he-picked-vancouver/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/ugh-i-cant-believe-he-picked-vancouver/#comments Fri, 19 Dec 2008 01:54:35 +0000 Mike http://www.yankeecanuck.com/?p=1448 December 18 - Six months later and 13 million dollars less, the new bald savior has decided retirement sounds boring and a short vacation to Vancouver sounds just about right. Christ. Talk about sloppy seconds!]]> http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/ugh-i-cant-believe-he-picked-vancouver/feed/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/in-linden-we-trust/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/in-linden-we-trust/#comments Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:39:41 +0000 Mike http://www.yankeecanuck.com/?p=1425 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.]]> http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/in-linden-we-trust/feed/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/mats-sundin-needs-to-go-away/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/mats-sundin-needs-to-go-away/#comments Tue, 16 Dec 2008 18:51:22 +0000 Mike http://www.yankeecanuck.com/?p=1427 December 16 - It's only fitting that in the same week where we'll honor a Canuck for life by sending his number to the rafters in GM Place, we are left to still debate the merits of another guy who (if you ask me) doesn't have a right to play on the home team in the same arena. Enough is enough, time to go away Mats. ]]> http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/mats-sundin-needs-to-go-away/feed/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/the-bob-loblaw-liveblog/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/the-bob-loblaw-liveblog/#comments Sun, 14 Dec 2008 18:48:38 +0000 Mike http://www.yankeecanuck.com/?p=1419 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.]]> http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/the-bob-loblaw-liveblog/feed/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/the-burrows-watch/ http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/the-burrows-watch/#comments Wed, 10 Dec 2008 16:07:07 +0000 Mike http://www.yankeecanuck.com/?p=1410 December 10 - Down in Nashvegas last night, Sanford stood tall and the Canucks won a hard fought 3-1 contest to jump over Calgary for the NW lead. But while Davison and Kesler will escape the long arm of Campbellian justice, will Alex Burrows for his hit on J.P. Dumont?]]> http://www.yankeecanuck.com/2008/12/the-burrows-watch/feed/
