Time For A Misconduct Or Two

Pam Anderson's tongue and our mascot welcome you.
Your surly hosts - Mike & Sean - are happy to give a voice to the Vancouver Canucks alongside quite a killer group of hockey minds here at SBN. And a big thanks goes out to master and commander Mirtle (who, come hell or high water, we'll make a Canucks fan if it kills us).
First, a little about us...
About Mike
I knew nothing about hockey - other then "that Islanders team won something or other" - for much of my life until 1994. While the whole NYC area was caught up with the Rangers run at the Cup, I took casual notice and, like much of what I set out to do, things went terribly awry and I became a diehard fan of the Vancouver Canucks.
I slammed the words "Yankee" and "Canuck" together three years ago and have been writing for them at Yankeecanuck.com and at canucks.com since.
I've never even been to Vancouver and am waiting for some playoff promise to do so (cue the joke right...about...here). In the meantime I’m an East Coast lad in another country rooting like a frothing madman for the West Coast team of another country to excel in a sport I can barely play in hopes that we can all collectively celebrate watching a bunch of guys younger than I am drink beer from an old, silver chalice.
About Sean
I live in Smithers, a great town in northwestern B.C. I have been a hockey junkie since 1977, following both the Leafs (yeah, shoot me) and the Canucks. I have been writing about the Canucks since June 2006 and am obsessed with it.
I am a crass and brutally honest person by nature and I think that translates into my writing. I am passionate about this sport and also this Canucks team that just can't seem to get a grasp on what it takes to win a Stanley Cup. Yet I remain positive and endure the ups and downs of the team.
Entering the Sports Blog Nation, I do not intend to change my style. It will remain the same as it did on my former site, Waiting For Stanley. I will probe all media outlets and bring Canucks news to you here at Nucks Misconduct in hopes of making this the most informative Canucks news source, along with opinions to go with it.
Oh yeah, and I love doing mock Photoshop images to express a point!
About the site
The title of Nucks Misconduct? It accurately describes how we cover our team. We may not always see eye to eye (just say the words "Alain Vigneault" and watch what happens) but, good or bad, we'll cover everything in the Canucks world with the requisite amount of cursing, faux-scientific analysis and alcohol-infused rants you'd expect from watching a team working on four decades of a Cup drought.
Two things that are different (and very cool) about Nucks Misconduct:
1. Fanposts: Think of them as comments on crack. If you have something to say, Fanposts allows you to scream it. Sound off on Gillis, Sundin, Fin, whatever. If it's really good we'll put it front and center on the homepage for everyone to comment on. It's all yours.
2. Fanshots: If you want to highlight anything in the world of Vancouver hockey (stories, images, video, Swedish women, whatever) you can do it in a fanpost. Just like Fanposts, it's all yours.
There's a lot here and we're still learning. If you'd like to learn more, the official SBN guide has you covered.
In the meantime, we look forward to bashing skulls with our other Northwest brothers, engaging in a civilized discussion about Fredo with PPP and regret absolutely none of the bad words that will be on display over time about the Dion Phaneufs, Cal Clutterbucks and Zach Stortini's of the world. They're all simply terrible. Just awful.

Looking Good
The site looks great, guys. So now I get the snarkiness of both of you all in one place? It’s a win win!
First!
Yeah, somebody will probably do that on the Fanpost section. I should do it just to get it over with, haha.
Thanks, Alix.

We’ll have to make a bet about something. But I must warn you…Temujin doesn’t have the vast hockey knowledge that I have. haha
What was you guys’ bet anyways? Was it the Ducks-Canucks series?
Yeah, just the regular season series between the teams. Temujin forgot the cardinal rule: Never bet that the Vancouver Canucks have your back :)

Geesus H Kesler! I get no respect. No respect at all. Brand new site, same ol’ B.S.!
I’m willing to bet a t-shirt that the Canucks finish ahead of the Lame-o Ducks in the standings at the end of the year :-) Now that Nathan MacIver has returned home, the Ducks are doooooomed.
Vast hockey knowledge from Sean? The same guy who says the Canucks should pry Anson Carter away from the Swiss Elite league? Sean… buddy… he’s in the Swiss leagues for a reason, okay?
Do they even have ice arenas in Switzerland?
Wow.
I’ve been reading both Waiting for Stanley and Yankee Canuck for the past two years and patiently waiting for a Cancuks blog on SBN. Doesn’t get much better than this, guys.
RSS Feed
This one ought to be fun.
FYI…the RSS Feed is broken on this site…any chance you can take a look at it?
Woohoo, this is gonna be fun
Congrats, guys, from a fellow (to Mike) “out-of-market” blogger.
P.S. I think saying “FIRST” on a thread gets a game misconduct at SBN, no? (“Your revolution is over. The bums lost!”)

Thanks Mike! And I like the game misconduct rule. Like a new button in the options bar.

Welcome to you guys!!!
Just wondering…how many logos does your team have??? It is the whale jumping through the ice or the hockey stick on TV or the bearded guy coming through the “V”…love the move back to the Green and Blue…those other unis really sucked! ;-)
I’m still waiting for some crappy emo-grunge whatever band to wear that V logo shirt in some video. And we get to relive the fun all over again…

Finally
this place has needed a Canucks site for ages! Welcome!

Don’t even start complaining about the shortage of doughnuts in the city.

Maybe they should make him run over there and back.

not near a far enough run for him to make a difference though.

You had better not have been in an Edmonton pressbox when you wrote this :)

I’m sure they’re on the way to get us already. Sort of like editorial manifest destiny

Wow
Well hello to all of you! Didn’t know we had so much support out there. I tell ya what, putting Mike and myself on the same site was a serious error by Mirtle! I kid.
It’s going to be a great time. Mike has a great sense of humor and a passion for the Nucks. I’m more the serious guy I suppose. But we both fire our mouths off with no regret.
I’ve been reading a lot of the hockey blogs on this network and it’s a pleasure to join you all at SBN.
Mike may chime in on the comments here and there, but he is going on a small vacation this weekend, just in case you happen to wonder where the hell he is.
Temujin: I stand by that Carter philosophy. I’d pay Carter $3-4 million over Demitra any day. Ever since he walked away, we’ve never found a main-stay with the Sisters. Carter scored 33 goals on that line and AV didn’t have to juggle players like he does now.
BTW, they have hockey in Switzerland. When a guy scores a hatty they throw cheese on the ice. Sounds like my kind of country!
Welcome!
Glad to have you two aboard! Couldn’t have gone with anyone better.
Good thing Sean is a closet Leaf fans since Gillis decided that our sloppy seconds seemed so enticing. at least someone will know why Fats Wellwood isn’t missed.

Really?
Sloppy seconds from a team with Burke, Nonis and May? I hear Brian Noonan is free.
Ready…set…

These guys are sloppy thirds now. Has Carlyle signed with the Leafs yet? I’m losing track.

Once Wilson loses the team.

Yeah I like the Leafs still. I’ll admit it. But the only sloppy seconds I’d take out of T.O. right now are: Kubina and…..well shit I can’t think of anyone else. Kaberle’s too soft for me.
Timothy: I won’t let you down. I/we are not changing our style one bit.
Hodgson is untouchable. He could be our best pick in damned near a decade.
You Leafers don’t watch many Canucks games do you? Woody’s in shape. He’s got the best one-pack I’ve ever seen.
Oh we watch. Works better than an ambien.

Also...
I heartily endorse the using of the nickname Fredo.

It's nice to see
Two guys from different sides of the continent come together and express their love with a Web site. It’s very touching. And the logo even includes thrusting fists.
And I can’t wait for the next Blues-Canucks game with this site around. You’ll see.

It’s sweet, isn’t it? As long as they signed a pre-nup. Wait … you and gallagher did sign a prenup, right?

Welcome!
Glad to see you guys here. Hopefully your streak of poor hockey only continues through Thursday. Then Luongo can have a team again

I’m getting offended by all this talk about sloppy seconds. Perhaps a meeting with Mirtle and a few weeks in a behaviour modification camp is in order…
Welcome, from the team you never play.

Thank You
If you would have asked me four months ago who the Canucks were I would have no idea and I grew up in Seattle my entire life as an avid sports fan. Thanks to Waiting For Stanley and a good friend it is safe to say I don’t love a team more then the Canucks. This new site rocks! Lets hope the Canucks play on the ice matches the new site.

Does not compute
“Avid sports fan” but no hockey? Tsk, that’s just a hobbyist!
No, glad you found religion — even if it’s in the Church of Canucks.
