What's wrong with Naslund?

What seems to be the problem with our illustrious captain? Where is the finesse, the skill, the talent that we know he has had in the past. He just seems to lacklustre, no spark, blah - Does he miss Bertuzzi that much? Is he hurt?

Why can't he score in the shootout? Why can't he score at all? Where is his wrist shot?

Whats wrong with MARKUS??????

Kesler - out for season

Kesler out for 12-16 weeks. He is undergoing hip surgery, for what appears to be a season ending injury. What a blow to his hopes for the season. He was just starting to come on too. Rumour has it that Marc Chouinard will fit into the lineup in his place. Let's hope the Canucks won't miss his timely scoring !

I miss hockey !!! some random thoughts

It seems like ages since there's been any meaningful hockey. I know, its only been a week, but its been a LONG week. Granted the all star game was on Wednesday - but I"m not a huge fan of that. ( way to go western all stars) It just doesn't seem like hockey without defense, and body checks. Whatever, I tuned in, and was happy to see the western all stars beat the eastern all stars 12-9. All without Luongo 'tweaking' anything. That I've heard of anyway !! I was a bit disappointed in Sidney Crosby in the game, but he is only 19, and if memory, and researching stats serves me correctly, Wayne Gretzky didn't do anything in his first all star game either. So I believe there is still 'hope' for Sid the Kid. :D

The Canucks season resumes tomorrow night, against The LA Kings. Who should get the start in goal? For myself, I say Dany Sabourin. That kid played great against the Sabres, I say play him. I think he'll get his first NHL win. He does have some skill, and he's gotta want that elusive first win, the team wants to get it for him, I say its a win win situation!!!!!


At least Hockey will be back on the air !!!!!!

Bring on the All Star Game !

Well, here we are. Almost a week off from the NHL season. Bring on the All Star Game. A game where the players will be modelling the new look uniforms for next season, and Our very own Roberto Luongo struts his stuff !

January 24, 2007 - THE ALL STAR GAME

NHL Mid season grade

The Hockey News

Vancouver

Star Pupils: The Sedin twins, still set to break career-highs in points; Roberto Luongo and Willie Mitchell, for justifying GM Dave Nonis’ summer.

Remedial Work: Markus Naslund, on course for his worst offensive production in a decade; Brendan Morrison and his minus-11.

Principal’s Office: Their anemic offense; Dany Sabourin; Jan “I Put The Boo In” Bulis.

Nature vs Nurture

The age old debate begins once again. Nature vs Nurture. A little different slant on it this time. Left to himself would my sweet lil nephew Nolan grow up to be a Canucks fan, or does he need to be encouraged in that direction. I'm not taking any chances. He already has A canucks toque, canucks sleepers, canucks undershirt, canucks hat. If i have anything to say about it. Sweet little Nolan will be a Canucks fan!

me and my nephews !

Gotta love nephews. I know I sure do !!!

Canada wins GOLD

Once again Canada reigns supreme. Beating Russia 4-2 in the Gold Medal Game. We truly are "the best in the world."

What do you fear?

" Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us, its in everyone. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others. "

Canada goes for GOLD
