We had Wellwood... but that was last year and he was only one person...

Looks like his new goalie coach has had a positive effect on his play so far.

^ yup, i'm sure all of us felt we were doomed with biekshit's penalty in OT. lu did great tonight!

How many of the greatest memories you have of the Canucks originated from Larscheid?

I remember two calls in my life. One is "Greg Adam! Greg Adam!" with Jim Robson.

The other is "He'll play. You know he'll play. He'll play on crutches if he has to! And he'll play in Madison Square Garden!"

Larscheid has a way of articulating what we're all thinking. He understands the ideals of heroism and brotherhood in sport. The Canucks are never going to sound the same without him. It's a damn shame that we won't get to hear his call when the Canucks win the Stanley Cup...whenever that is.

even though we lost...im just happy hockeys back :)

So you're saying he has an AV of AV? :troll:

It was a decent game. I applause the great work that Manny,Hamhuis and Luongo did on the 4v3 PK in OT because of Bieska's dumbass penalty.

That line worked hard, too bad we couldn't come up with the win. Oh wells, theres always next game. At least we got a point.

:thumbsup:


still remember that.

edit: wasnt that Jim Robson you mean tho.

I said Jim Robson.

Larscheid's comments haven't resonated like those two calls to me but I know there have been tons. He's given inspirational speeches, he's comforted the fans after tough losses...he said "Bingo bango bongo! His name is Roberto Luongo!"

"I just came from the Canucks dressing room and Pavel's groin has never felt better"

Ah, yes. Amazing. :troll:

Despite the outcome, tonights game was a good one. Only caught the first period on television, but listened to the rest on 1040. Don't know if they showed it on TV but listening to Shorty and Tom be speechless when everyone gave Tom the standing-o was just fantastic. Tom's last fifteen or so minutes of just thanking everyone and going through some memories of working in the broadcasting booth genuinely made me sad. I met him a few years ago along with Shorty and Jim and he's one of the most down-to-earth, honest people I've ever had the pleasure of talking to. I'll most definitely miss listening to him on the radio.

That said, I loved the whole retro aspect of the night. I know it was to mimic the first game the Canucks ever played (against the Kings and on the exact same night, nonetheless), but it would be awesome if they managed to sneak in a few more of those types of games this season.

Agreed. Lu looked sharp and we all know that Lu has a tough Oct and Nov so it's nice to see him make some big stops in the first game.

Bieksa's a hack

other than that it was a great game. looking forward to all future games with LA!

i felt samuelsson, malholtra, edler, ballard, hamhuis played exceptionally well.

malholtra is such a beast on the pk and face off.
also, you can see clearly the difference without burrows in the lineup :(

in case anyone missed this

MONSTER!!!!!!!!!!!

It'll all be good in a month's time...............

Looks like he's OK, but nobody knows why he collapsed. He suffered a concussion from hitting the ice. Cannot remember anything after the singing of the national anthem.

Heart's OK and so is his brain.

Exhaustion, most likely.

FUUUU cant get nhl centre ice. I'd have to get a new digital terminal.

don't forget about ballard on that PK! that was a great effort by all.

I'm guessing if you want to order it they'll let you trade your receiver for the new one for nothing. I was able to and had to do that for Sunday ticket. The new receiver is way better then the old one, less lag when switching channels, bigger hard drive and no audio sync problems that I've noticed.

We need a new Monster pic. Who is a PS expert?

did you call in for that or goto a retail store?

you can do both but i'd suggest calling in first. cause retail is a long lineup

you should be able to swap out old dct mpeg2 for a mpeg4 comptable one
