San Jose Sharks at Vancouver Canucks, Nov 29, 2009 7:00 PM PST
I wouldn't blame you for thinking the Sharks are going to take this one. I am fighting the negativity myself. But what better chance for the Canucks to make the boldest of bold statements this young season by playing the second game in 2 nights and beating the awesome Sharks? It CAN happen. We have a damned good team here.
Keeping with the rap theme for game threads... you ever listen to Public Enemy? I only ever got into their first 3 albums, which were rap classics. To this day, "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" still blows my mind and gets my blood flowin'. Ear candy.
In 1995, you'll twist to this
As you raise your fist to the music
United we stand, yes divided we fall
Together we can stand tall
Brothers that try to work it out
They get mad, revolt, revise, realize
They're super bad
Small chance a smart brother's
Gonna be a victim of his own circumstance
Go get 'em, Canucks! Make us believe!

I played football in high school. It was the best experience I ever had playing an organized sport, and I absolutely would be still playing if my university had a team.
And yet, I have to be bored to watch the game on TV…

That’s one of my regrets— not playing football in HS. They pretty much let anyone play, as long as you have some athletic ability.

Heatley received an eye injury many moons ago. As a result, it left his eye permanently dilated.

Absolutely incredible.
The first field goal is wide, and the Riders have too many guys on the field to give them another chance.
Wow…
And now…lets drop the puck!

They weren’t going to re-sign him so they got one of the top power forwards in the league in return. It just looks worse in hindsight because it turns out Bertuzzi’s career was basically over. Or at least the part of his career where he was good.

Yeah, but remember, the Sharks did it 100% for the salar dump of Erhoff + Lukowich, not many others would take Luko, and I don’t think SJ was willing to pocket the cost of slotting him in the AHL like the Canucks would. So you gotta put it in context with what the teams were trying to do. Think of it this way from San Jose perspective:
Ehr + dumping Luko + Cheechoo + Michalek + 2nd rounder = Dany Heatley + longshot “prospects”

Salary dump or not they got our worst two prospects basically. There are teams like the Leafs who would have been willing to give up a mid level prospect to get Ehrhoff and pay Luko to play in the AHL.

If they had

I don't think Doug Wilson even cared who he got in return.
Nucks did a favor by taking Luko. And remember before the trade Ehrhoff wasn’t playing at the level he is right now. I doubt he would be playing this well with the Sharks. He needed a change of scenery. Letting Ehrhoff go opened up a spot for some young guys (Jason Demers, Derek Joslin, maybe even Nick Petrecki in the future) to get playing time.
Besides, if White fails to reach the NHL or something like that Sharks get a second round pick.

I could see your argument if he was one of the greats. But he is the greatest. His stats are so much better than anyone elses in history that I think they get it. I mean 200 plus points in a season? You don’t need to have seen him play to get that.

Section is correct
I was following hockey during Gretzky’s entire career. He arrived, pummeled all scoring records and no one since has had the same stats. Lemieux was sublime and had his own magic and there were fans who thought he was better than Gretzky but as Section says, all you have to do is look at his stats. And he played consistently at that level and retained similar yearly stats for a good part of his career. Those of us who saw him play throughout those years consider themselves pretty lucky to have done so.

Saw him play
plenty, mostly on an absolutely stacked team that played the most purely offensive style in the history of the game against the most diluted competition ever.
He was great, but point totals don’t tell the whole story, especially comparing different eras.
Besides that, he was one-dimensional, couldn’t hit or take one, not much for checking, and couldn’t beat the shit out of his own diaper.
Howe and Orr did it all, and better than most if not everyone else.

And for similar reasons.
Yeah AO is more physical, he’s a lot bigger too, but Crosby hits, takes hits, fights, goes to the dirty areas, Gretzky was a total permiter player, a great one no doubt, but nonetheless not in any way a complete player, and neither is AO. His deficiencies are in using his teammates and paying attention to defense, basically he is selfish. Crosby is anything but.

Because the fans keep paying and clearly don’t care. The only reason it is such a big deal in baseball is because of the congressional hearings – in the NFL a guy gets suspended for four games or so if he tests positive and then picks up the season like nothing happened.
There is even an argument to be made in favor of performance enhancing drugs.

Doug MacLean is a total moron.
How this stupid fucker ever got into the NHL is a mystery. The Columbus owner must have done something pretty embarrassing that he has pictures of.
He says something stupid every time he is on camera…

What’s with the Canucks playing terrible 2nd periods of late?

Doug Maclean is stupid. I remember last year he was talking about how the Canucks should not resign the Sedins because they were “unreliable” and “couldn’t anchor an offense”

You have to call goalies who use their sticks to spear and slash guys. It’s such BS. They don’t have to stand up and fight after sticking people so the Ref has to deal with it.

Are you purposely not recognizing Welly’s for his work there?
I know you hate him but come on, he created that goal.
by cyxj on Nov 29, 2009 9:28 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Don't hate him
Hate that he gets endless chances to fail as 3rd line centre.
I didn’t see who made the play, ok?
by yoata on Nov 29, 2009 9:29 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Fair enough.
You usually point out who made a nice play to set up a goal. Just thought you happen to miss this one on purpose because of who it was. :)
by cyxj on Nov 29, 2009 9:31 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Thanks for noticing
I hope he does get it going, we don’t really have any other options for 3rd line centre unless Gillisgan makes a trade, so he’d better.

I have to say Wellwood played much better tonight than he has all season. I hope he continues the trend.
by marcness52 on Nov 29, 2009 9:35 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Created that goal?
That’s a bit of a stretch isn’t it? Hansen made a great effort to score there, without that Wellfed creates nada, as he has most of the season.

still haven’t seen the replay so I’ll take your word for the setup, good for Wellfed.

Jesus fucking christ yoata…can you not give the man any credit.?..carries the puck …holds it against checking, makes a slick pass through two guys sticks…but its all about Hansen?
He was the best Canuck on the ice tonight.

Learn to read
I’ll say again:
I only saw Hansen’s effort, haven’t seen the replay.
Am taking others word for Wellfed finally getting the piano off his ass.
Also as I’ve said before, Wellfed gets plenty of undeserved credit, too much, when he plays consistently like the 3rd line centre he supposedly is, I’ll acknowledge it.
by yoata on Nov 29, 2009 9:55 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs
Just watched it
jesus you made him sound like Mario Lemieux there, lol, he picks up a loose puck on the boards, gets past a half-assed check and throws it to the middle, BFD.
Again, Hansen doesn’t make the huge effort, it’s a nothing play, but gush on.
