Thank you Bobby Lou
As I made a nice big batch of lasagne last night, I flipped through the TV channels, trying to figure out what to watch. I stumbled upon the Oilers-Canucks game and decided, hell, why not watch? How bad can it be? It was bad... I thought the Oilers might win.
While I don't support giving up, I do support getting a high draft pick. The plethora of injuries means that we've started bringing up players from the QMJHL. Junior players! Junior players who aren't the next Sidney Crosby. We don't deserve to win. But give the kids playing time, by all means!
I live in Vancouver and am scared of the playoff run the Canucks might make this year. Canucks fans have been unbearable in my two years in the lower mainland. If it weren't for the fans, I could probably get behind this team. They've made some good moves, they play hard and have overachieved without becoming a favorite. The play of Roberto Luongo, despite his lack of a playoff record, makes me wonder if Vancouver was only a goaltender graveyard because they never had a bonafide starter.
The Vancouver I saw last night underperformed in a way reminscent of the Oilers down the stretch last year. They had already convinced me they deserved to be in the playoffs, but struggled against bottom feeders. But when your best player is your goaltender, teams beware.
A hot goaltender can take a team a long way in the post season. Last night's version of the canucks didn't have a team that scared me. It had a goaltender that was positionally remarkable, perfectly timed and just a bit lucky. While they can't win every game 2-1... they only have to win four each series...
Wake me up when the riots are over.
And Raffi thinks he can get the ladies...

Thanks for the link!
The fact that Brodziak is apparently staying in the big leagues for a bit longer.
They are almost as bad as Lames fans.
Honestly, I think some of them are closet Oilers fans; walking around in their LOSERS t-shirts that look like the OILERS logo.
How original. *roll-eyes*.
Sebastien Bisaillon.
I don't know why.
He just is.
Lots of uncharacteristic bloodlust to work out, I have to say.
It's funny, most of my friends out here are not from Vancouver. I flock to Prairie kids.
Hey look, I just saw one! And whaddaya know: they're anonymous!
All is right in the world again eh? Just like a few years ago? So I guess that means the Canucks will choke and bow out in the first round again?
