PrintVancouver Canucks at Carolina Hurricanes, Dec 5, 2009 10:30 AM PST
I don't think I've made it a secret that Metallica is my fave band of all time. Sure they took a dump in the 90's more or less, but I think that Death Magnetic was finally a step in the right direction. It never leaves the stereo in my truck.
One of the best songs they ever wrote was "Battery" from the Master Of Puppets album. I think that is fitting for the Canucks at this point.
From the song "Battery" by Metallica
**************************************
Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never ending potency
Hungry violence seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity
Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery

Agreed, among the best metal songs ever. Now I want to see the Canucks mash the non-believers. They’ve looked pretty good the last few games, perhaps finally starting to hit their stride? Seems like we’ve been waiting for that groove for most of the season.
It’s tough playing that song on guitar. The main riff has messed up timing. That is what makes it so cool to me. “Master” is such a classic album though. Every song on it is amazing. “Disposable Heros” is another one of my faves.

Prediction time
I’ll say 6-4 Canucks in a sloppy defensive game from both teams. Kesler with the winner.
okay, let’s do this! i have 30 minutes before i head out to the greyhound station, so i wanna see some early goals ;)

Staal in a Canadian market?
Awesome…he would come back. I don’t think the Canes are quite at the point to deal their “star” yet though…

Oh, in that case Wellwood and SOB should do it.

Matt Cullen…yes he’s a guy that could be even better in a Canucks jersey. That guy never quits, is scoring now, can play in any situation, and cheaper than Staal.

perfect timing. i have about 15 minutes in which to watch the game and chow down a scone before i have to leave.

I really thought it should’ve gone to Curtis Sanford last year, even though he was in the minors at that point. he was good enough to get us through Luongo’s injury in not-too-terrible shape

ok… so AV’s clever new plan is clear… sammuelson and hansen are both streaky players… and somehow he’s going to manipulate their streaks so that they alternate, and thus he will similarly alternate the slot on line 2. brilliant.

We played like crap and Carolina was completely incapable of taking advantage of that. It shows why they’re in the shithole of the league right now. But we aren’t going to win this unless we step it up a notch or too, poor effort so far boys.

True story: I was just pitching some old papers of mine from grad school and I came across a SWOT analysis I did of the NHL lockout. What a good student I used to be.
'Nucks Misconduct - Housing Swedish Millionaires Since 2000.
i was a in dual masters program: one MA in diplomacy and international relations and the other in strategic communications. Pretty sure the SWOT analysis was in the latter program. Not sure why int’l relations would give two shits about the lockout.

Pretty sure the KHL wasn’t around at the time. This was like 2004-2005 I think. My second semester in grad school. Damn those were annoying times. Work full time, went to class at night and raised a puppy at home. Never. Ever. Again.

Who is this Sportsnet idiot with glasses?
He just said that Staal had a nice BACKCHECK on Edler when he pick-pocketed him. That’s a forecheck, idiot.
I heard that, haha. And then he praised our first period. He must be on some form of drugs.
by Sean Zandberg on Dec 5, 2009 11:19 AM PST up reply actions
How many
turnovers did the Nucks have in that period? Way too many by the D in their own zone.
Gotta knock that off. Good O pressure though, Legace got fooled by that long deflection but made a number of very good saves early.
Wonder how much Jank will have to score before he ever gets a sniff of PP time…
Any word on Grabner’s healing process? And does he slot back in the lineup when healthy? I would assume they’d send him right to manitoba to get some minutes and back into game shape, and then call him up only when a hole opens up (that hole may be named Wellwood, mind you). Thoughts?
by Beantown Canuck on Dec 5, 2009 11:25 AM PST reply actions
I wonder
if one of Grabner, Hansen or Raymond could play centre?
All have the speed, Hansen is definitely capable defensively, Grabner’s probably the best playmaker of the three, I’d like to see one of them given the chance to play 3rd line pivot.
Good enough for me!
Call AV and give him the heads up, tell him to give Jank Wellwoulda’s PP time too!
I am just about there too:)
Man..a Hansen-Grabner-Raymond line makes me drool at the possibilities
by Sean Zandberg on Dec 5, 2009 11:34 AM PST up reply actions
Wicked speed
but would that mean Burnier gets 2nd line duty?
Don’t think he’s earned that over those guys, and Kes needs some speed on the 2nd too.
I’m gonna be honest. Harsh slept through my alarm.
When I saw the time, I ran straight for the TV, eye boogers and all. How’s the period? Too many comments to sift through, ha.
Canucks aoutshot Canes 14-7 in period 1 but had 2 PP’s. Lots of giveaways by us. Sloppy.

Puck was under Willie’s skate, with Razer’s glove over that. Willie just should not have moved at all a bit longer, and the whistle is blown.
Should have been blown anyhow, but unlucky on that last goal. Stay still Willie!
Fucking 2nd period doldrums again. Cane’s deserve their lead, but I will lay some money down there is at least somewhat of a response.
Canes aren’t 30th overall for nothing. They give away leads…
BUt WTF is it with 2nd periods? Looks like the memo went out about beating Razer high too…

Wow, it’s a sad indication of the game when SOB is our most consistent defenseman. He’s had a pretty good game overall I’d say, and I’ve liked his play. I have zero confidence in Raycroft tho…even though the team’s let him down on 3 of those goals, an elite goal tender probably could have stopped probably 2 of those.
Yay Burrows, the annual clutch goal against Carolina.
Can't argue
with that really (and that’s saying something for me)
Although Orrhoff’s been good too. (see what I mean)
If they call this goal back I’m punting a kitten to Saturn.

How many times in the first and second did we see two defensemen standing there in our zone picking their asses followed by a shitfuck awful pass that led to a scoring chance? Ended by Bieksa blocking a shot then leaving it there for an easy goal instead of clearing…geez.

(long-overdue) note to self: either watch the game to the end or don’t watch it at all. this will guarantee success.
