August 6 – So after yet another week of Mats Sundin feet dragging, it’s time to appeal to the human sense of decency and beg Mike Gillis to give it up. Like Forsberg, Sundin ain’t coming. And that’s not a bad thing.

Lazy and stupid. Thems your Canucks. Tonight and tomorrow they meet “We suck…We stink.” Talk about two teams that need a hug.
More on that in a second. Let’s go back to lazy and stupid.
I was spared the indignity of watching the team on PPV like so many Vancouvrites, but rest assured, seeing how I humbly [...]

The Vancouver Canucks made some cuts today and it would appear the opening night roster is set now (or are there more cuts coming?). At any rate, here’s who you won’t be rooting for come Friday evening:

Luc Bourdon
Mike Brown
Patrick Coulombe
Jannik Hansen
Michael Grabner
Jason Jaffray
Rick Rypien

Oh yeah, remember Dan McGillis? No you don’t, he never existed. Not [...]

Less then one week from the drop of the puck and we’re all on pins and needles wondering, “Do the British give a shit?”
OK, we know they won’t. A cute effort though. Seriously.
Back on this side of the planet, a few more pregames is all that separates us from the real deal. So let’s get [...]

Dany to the Sabourin is manning the big hole tonight against the Ducks. So which Dany will we see tonight? Jekyll or Hyde? I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he’ll pick off where Luongo leaves off. More or less.
Prediction: 4-3 Canucks in OT. Pronger, Nieds and Kunitz all score off their [...]

Pregame notes: I suddenly have a bad feeling about doing this. Which means it must be the best idea…ever. My face is still frozen anyway so I may as well drink, right? Besides, while the players have changed, the fact remains I hate the Avalanche and will gladly get stupid in hopes of watching [...]

Thanks to one of the more random holidays we get, I’m off snowboarding for the next few days. If I don’t end up kissing a tree/rock/chair lift pole/skier/Sasquatch at 20 mph, I should be back in time for Sunday night’s Canucks/Avs game.
And, ah what the hell, let’s drunk blog the darn thing shall we?
I [...]

Two for roughing, two for unsportsmanlike conduct and two for the Canucks. In a nutshell, that was Raffi Torres’s forgettable two-for Tuesday at Rexall Place. And if you’re looking to hang another debilitating Oilers loss on somebody in the home unis, the enigmatic winger who can be dangerous at both ends of the ice is [...]

The Oilers are like the bad guy in the final scene of what’s likely a crappy movie you catch on cable when you’re bored. The hero (think Bruce Willis in Die Hard) shoots the bad guy (think Bruce Willis in The Jackal) directly in the face, he falls down a flight of stairs, crashes through [...]

Don’t fret Dwayne, Mikka probably knows a good therapist.

It’s good to see the playoff atmosphere creeping into these divisional games now. Say what you will about Edmonton, that team is gritty as hell. A lot of good hits in both ends. Do they still even have Nedved? If he was [...]
