The Nucks Misconduct List of Canuck Nicknames

Like many other blogs around here, we have many nicknames for our precious Canuck players. And occasionally, visitors who jump into our gamethread are wondering who we are talking about. So, here is a guide to the nicknames we have so far.
*Kudos to the people at Raw Charge (the Tampa Bay Lightning blog here at SBNation) for inspiring me to do this by giving us a link to theirs :)

Vaya con Dios, Brah: Canucks & Lightning
by Yankee Canuck on Feb 9, 2010 3:30 PM PST
391 comments
Matty, Matty, Matty.
It's been sometime. Too long some would say. The last time we saw you wasn't so hot.
But you had to go. It was time. 11 seasons is a long haul in this day and age. We all shared a sniffle when you left (30 seconds after free agency begun). But you had a family to feed and new challenges to tackle. You now patrol a different blueline, swapped an Edler for a Lundin and now bash skulls with the Crosbys and Oveckins of the league instead of the Iginlas and Zetterbergs. (Having just written that, some would suggest you chose poorly). Tampa offered you more sun and the chance to play every defenseman's dream: like Willie Mitchell.
Speaking of which, do send Willie a lobstergram or a build-a-bear or something. He's more Lindros than man these days.
We've moved on too, namely in the form of Christian Ehrhoff. He's younger, a pinch more German and schools you in almost every statistical category except hits and PK time. Same goes for baby Edler in fact. You know let's not even look at stats because the only d-man you're better than now is SOB and he, to his credit, at least has a goal.
We didn't come to be mean Matty (truth be told, we don't want to be on this road trip at all). But it's not often you see a guy who bleed Canuck blue (or green or black or mauve or yellow or whatever our color is) as long as you did and not get a bit amped up. On the one hand, if you scored your first goal tonight it would seem almost right. On the other hand, if Raymond makes you look like a pylon as so many Hawks did in the playoffs, that would warm our hearts in a way.
So although those colors don't look right (but hurting a Duck sure does) you're not forgotten sir. For many of us we keep looking for #2 out there on some nights.
As Johnny Utah says, "Life sure has a sick sense of humor, doesn't it?"

Demitra Should be Back on Thursday
by SJKel on Feb 9, 2010 2:36 PM PST
12 comments
According to the coach of the Slovka Olympic team, Demitra is in Vancouver because of his wife's sickness. However, he's expected to join the team on Thursday.
If the report is accurate (and we have no reason to believe it not to), then we should see Demitra back very soon. Also, given the short absence, his wife's health problem is probably not very serious, which is good news.

Update: Ryan Johnson and Nolan Baumgartner are healthy scratches tonight, and with Demitra out, Steve Bernier, Brad Lukowich and Jannik Hansen will replace them.
**************************
The Canucks will get their first look at Mattias Ohlund in a different jersey. Should be a surreal experience, especially if Ohlund plays a hell of a game and/or pummels somebody. Is he going to go a little easy on the Sedins? Doubt it. Nor should he. Mattias got a bit of a raise to sign in Tampa and sure, he's mentoring that Viktor Hedman kid, but in 50 games he has no goals and 10 assists and a -8.

Tuesday Morning Coffee- Lightning Strikes
by canucklehead666 on Feb 9, 2010 10:28 AM PST

via photos.upi.com
There was a time this season where the Canucks saw this game and no doubt licked their chops. The Lightning have been on the outside looking in, and have suffered through some dysfunctional ownership that made Phoenix look like the model of consistency at times. But with Oren Koules and Len Barrie now out of the picture and Jeff Vinik in, the Lightning may have a chance at succeeding again. More on this crucial battle tonight after the jump...

Luongo Meets His Idol

Roberto Luongo recently met his childhood idol Grant Fuhr on an Olympic segment called Difference Makers. Check out the clip here. Great stuff. Fuhr was one of my faves too.

UFA Market Set
by ThomasPratt on Feb 8, 2010 7:04 PM PST
18 comments
Alright, At Sean's request, here's a list of all the pending UFA D'men and Centres. Now that San Jose has traded a second rounder for at most six months of Niclas Wallin , I'm guessing that's a benchmark for what similar UFA's might require.
So the list after the jump. Sorry it looks like a tabular nightmare -- I just don't have time to format it all pretty-like.

Demitra Heads Back To Vancouver For Personal Reasons
Dammit Demo! Hope it's nothing serious, but this is bum. He was just getting going too. He may not play for the Canucks before the Olympics, the CKNW site states.
Maybe he's getting traded, haha. OK, that's unlikely at this point.
