Just watched sports on Global with Squire Barnes. Hilarious story on how as soon as Sundin signs, the Canucks start to look like the Leafs. He called it a Leaf's virus. Even before he plays, the Canucks start to slide.
What a fragile team. Fine captain Luongo has been. LOL. Oh well, when you hit rock bottom there's only one way to go and that's up.
I think after the break, the Canucks will turn it around for sure. I also think San Jose will be in for a bit of a surprise.
The team was doing fine without Sundin or Luongo. Then the news of the signing and the news that Luongo's coming back. Mass confusion. Anyway, shit happens. All we can do is watch the games and hope it all works itself out.

AV is pointing fingers? That guy is no Keenan. He's pretty careful not to freak on people. Now making Welwood his bitch (healthy scratch) could be part of something else. Bowness was on Team 1040 and he was talking about how it is important to understand the egos of today's players. That some can be pushed, while others can go the other way and so on. He made a lot of sense. The owner, GM, and coaches believe in the team and they are going to work through all of this. Fans are fans. They whine and bitch and boo...... and call for the coach's head. It's human nature to react like that.

I think all that is needed is for a player to step up and take a leadership role. I personally don't think Luongo's that kind of person......... but that's just me. Maybe nobody wants to take the bull by the horn - afraid to upset the apple cart.

Yup, it was 10 shots vs the Caps in Oct.
And the stats look alright tonight because the Ducks lost.

I honestly never understood why people were so hyped up about Sundin coming here. He's no spring chicken and fitting into the team was also an issue. All in all, a huge gamble. Only time will tell, I guess.
I put my faith in guys like Kesler and Burrows. Young, up and coming, and full of potential. Raymond, Hansen, etc. It's always fun to watch those guys.
Maybe if Nickelback sang the anthems at GM Place, it may inspire Demitra to light it up. LOL.

And now last night, they tried (at least partially) going back to their more offense-oriented play, which led to even more confusion.
I'd hope the All Star break gives everyone a chance to get their shit together...

I can't wait till Sunday's game. I wanna see the Canucks come out hitting and laying the boots to the Blue Jackets. I'm hoping our boys will run the opposing team out of town. 6 - 0 shutout for Luongo. End this bullshit now!! Do whatever it takes to win. Take hard shots from the blueline and when their players start to block the shots, aim for their fucking head. Take a few of the players out of the game. Nevermind staying out of the penalty box. If you send a few to the hospital, it'd be totally worth it. Oh, and run the fucking goalie each time. Make them scared to touch the puck. If you can't beat them by scoring more goals, at least beat the shit out of them. Haha.

The Edmonton Oilers traded goaltender Mathieu Garon to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday in exchange for netminder Dany Sabourin, forward Ryan Stone and a fourth-round pick in the 2011 NHL entry draft.
