Uhhhh...

by Anne

By now you've probably noticed a trend with my postings. If we win, I basically post immediately. If we lose, I put off my next post until at least the middle of the next day, sometimes later.

That game just imploded in the last few minutes and I couldn't bear to watch their second empty net goal.

On the bright side, Mike Richards got his first career five point night.

The Kings lost last night 4-2. However, they were playing the Sharks so the loss is not as hard to take.

Fortunately there was one silver lining to last night. The Canucks beat Ottawa at home, 5-2 after kicking things off with a 4-0 lead.

The Burrows and Sedin line was all over the place and came up with nine points and a combined +7. Henrik had a four point night (1+3), Daniel two (1+1) and Burr three (1+2). Bieksa and Pavol Demitra scored the other two goals.


Burr was the triplet all along?

My cousin Jimmy aka James will be at my house this weekend so I have a sneaking suspicion there may be a guest post.

If you haven't heard about the stuff going down in Montreal off the ice having to do with hookers, the mafia and alcohol, check it out here. No, its not a joke, there really is stuff going on with hookers, the mafia and alcohol involving at least three Canadiens' players. Ah, just what they needed when Kovalev is self-destructing, Carey Price is floundering through sophomore growing pains and Vinny Lecavalier trade rumors are still swirling, all during the team's centennial when they felt they were destined by the hockey gods to win their 25th Stanley Cup. I'm taking a sick amount of happiness out of watching the smug smiles being wiped off of their faces.

WIN

by Anne

Win= what we must do tonight. 'Nuff said. If you're tired of the words "The System" do yourself a favor and do not check out any of the recent player interviews on SabresTV. Its like Lindy promised them an extra 30 seconds of ice time for each time they can use those two words in an interview. Acceptable variations include: "Our System" and "the Team's System." You might be safe with TV's, but avoid Goose, Staffy and Royzie if you'd like to be spared. And watch Petey's because he's just so damn adorable and I just want to hug him.

Moving right along: Tim Connolly is hurt. Look out fans, the next vague injury description buzzword to hit the NHL: "musculoskeletal" which, as has been reported by basically everyone else already, just means "body parts". Its another almost meaningless word to make "upper body injury" sound more informative but, really, it only tells us that the player has not suffered a head injury or ear infection. Whatever, I'm over it.

Let's get on to why the Vancouver Canucks are seriously fighting with the Chicago Blackhawks for best Western Team. And by "best" I mean "most able to feed my addiction for off-ice material relating to players that makes me feel all warm and tingly inside."

Ok, see MJ's blog for links to some AMAZING videos on Blackhawks.com featuring topless players, political ads, James Wisniewski threatening to punch you in the face, and Patrick Kane getting ragged on by his teammates for his wacky Calder trophy figurine.

The Canucks have countered with (merely the beginning of) some amazing photos from their currently-on-going East coast trip. Will we experience such joy from OUR boys when they head West soon?!?! Anyway, here are some goodies... and by goodies I mean all of the pictures that feature BIG BEAR.


BB: Henrik, I thought you said we were meeting in the lobby, where are you?


Brrrrrr, Big Bear's ccccold


Mason and Roberto were just trying to play cool before they each snagged a Sabres water bottle and pennant. Its ok, we know this is all for show, boys.



There is nothing about this picture that should go unnoticed
*The photographer has flat out admitted that he cannot tell Henrik and Daniel Sedin apart
"One of the twins..."
*The Swedes are explaining American Fantasy football to a Dane and a Canadian who probably still thinks they're talking about hockey
*Why are they all crowded onto this table?
*Why are Jannik Hansen's shorts around his ankles?

Good. Times. I cannot wait for the rest of the days.
