Update (2:38 PM): Luongo's reaction to Schneider getting more starts:
"I'm all about winning the Cup. It doesn't matter to me I know you guys are going to try and make a story out of it, but this is the plan going in. So you are obviously going to see Cory going in more frequently this year," Luongo said.
"To be honest, I don't really mind it. Why I do mind is that I will be asked about it, probably every day. That's what will get to me more than anything." - The Province
Update (1:45 PM): For the Wild: Cam Barker out, Clayton Stoner in. Cue Bob Dylan song.
Update (12:34 PM): Looks like Jannik Hansen will stay on the Sedin line. Anticipated rosters for both teams can be found at the Team 1040 website.
Update (12:27 PM): According to TSN, Dan Hamhuis aggravated his sore foot during the pregame skate in Chicago. He only skated for a few minutes today. He will be a game time decision once again. Damn.
Update (12:36 AM): Cory Schneider will start this one. Also, Rypien did shove Henrik Sedin lightly before grabbing on to the Wild fan in "the incident". Hank muttered something to a teammate on the bench and skated off in apparent disgust. This is a conversational piece in itself. Discuss.
Ironically, Rick Rypien's fate will be decided by the NHL brass on the same day that the Canucks play the team that the incident happened against. But the penalty he may or may not get is not at the forefront of the Canuck faithful's minds. The play of the team is. Yankee posted a masterpiece on Thursday about the Canucks' misfortunes, especially in regards to their last 2 games..both losses. I am going to throw in my own 2 cents..
- In the Canucks' first 7 games, only 7 players have scored at least a goal.
- The Sedins have scored 19 of the teams' 45 points (42.2%). Daniel Sedin has scored 7 of the Canucks' 15 goals (46.6%).
- Of the 22 Canucks skaters employed this young season, 13 are in the minus category. That's were scoring helps.
- Kevin Bieksa has 0 points and is an even +/- in 7 games. For a guy that loves to pinch in a lot and give us fits, he'll need to start putting up points. So I threw a Bieksa dig in..sue me.
The obvious fact remains that someone not named Sedin or even Samuelsson (6 points in 7 games is hardly worth bitching about) need to score. You know Kesler, Raymond, Bieksa, Edler, Torres, Malhotra etc want to get it going offensively. Maybe this is part of the reason why the Canucks give up so many damned odd-man rushes. Everyone's trying to get the monkeys off their backs.
Hey, it's just a suggestion. At least against the Blackhawks the team collectively showed some better defence and buckled up, for the most part*. I think they should continue this trend. Take care of their own end first. 4 guys back! Woo! Look at what the Canucks' opponents are doing: playing patient hockey, letting us coming at them, wait for the inevitable turnover and/or stupid pinch and then break up ice the other way on an odd-man rush. The same story would have rang true had Marian Hossa not been *thwarted by Roberto Luongo on his breakaway with 2:00 left in the Chicago game.
All I see is inconsistency game to game, marred by scoring slumps, squeezing sticks and players doing too much as a result. I don't feel "team" yet.
SIMPLIFY.
PATIENCE!
The goals will come and success will follow. Just stop taking so many penalties and giving up the odd-man rushes for god's sakes!
I hate to say it, but the team really has to be missing Alexandre Burrows. They can't use that as an excuse as to why they aren't scoring more, but there is no doubt that his return in November is going to be a blessing. In his past 4 seasons as a Canuck he only missed 1 game. 1 game! He is a huge part of this team, a shoe-in on the top line yet flexible on other lines, plus he's a spark plug. See the video below.
I think we really need Dan Hamhuis back as well as that stabilizing factor.
*************************
So, remember the whole Minny bag skate last weekend? Well, the Wild have not lose a game since. This week they made us pound sand and then beat the Oilers on Thursday night 4-2. So..back to back games for the Wild..will we see Jose Theodore play in goal against Van? (Please oh please? He nearly faced 40 shots in the win over Edmonton). Stay tuned.
In the Wild's last 2 wins, Martin Havlat and Brent Burns had 3 points each. Kyle Brodziak scored 2 goals against his former team on Thursday.
Blah blah, VIDEO TIME!
Burrows scores a shorty on February 3, 2009. See how he pretends to break his stick over his knee as part of his celebration? Well, funny story. The Canucks had lost their previous 8 straight games in the January to forget. They would beat Carolina in this game and win 12 of their next 14 games. Yeah..sparkplug is Burrows.
Here is how we beat the Wild (if only Sami Salo wasn't an injury-prone piece of glass):

Go Canucks!

Nucks redeem themselves. 3-1. Schneider continues rock solid play.
Who else but Hank for the winner.

Schneider confirmed for playing? That would be a bit odd, considering it’s a home game. Lu didn’t get a start at home earlier this week vs Carolina either.

That goal against Carolina
solidified my love for Burrows. On top of being a great team player, excellent on the PK, and the best winger the Sedins have ever had giving us arguably the best first line in the league, the guy is clutch. When its down to the 11th hour, and you need someone to bring your team to glory, there is no other player that I’d want to see out on the ice for us. Ice in his veins, cotton for hands, steel for balls, and gold in his heart. Anyways, thats enough Burrowsbating.
Canucks get their shit together. 4-2 Canucks, Dank GWG.

Yes it was
despite its obvious failure I really like how his goal and stick breaking really signified the turning around of the season that year. I remember going into that game with expectations of another loss. Then someone (Juice?) took a late game penalty and all seemed lost. Then I see the puck going around the boards. Pitkanen tries to pinch, is unsuccessful (remind you of someone?), Kes puts the puck off the boards to a streaking Burrows. It happened almost in slow motion. Burrows settles the puck, moves toward the net, dekes forehand, to backhand, and roofs it top corner on Cam Ward. I went nuts.

They really compliment each other and it makes a difference when a good friend of yours and valued teammate (I think they were roommates on the road for a long time) is out of the line up. Can’t wait till Burr comes back.

Except that the new game is awesome and you’re unable to argue against that.
Fallout: New Vegas has the same shitty mechanics and bugs Fallout 3 had, because it’s poorly made. Fallout 1/2 FTW!
http://www.flickr.com/photos/martinhathaway/ - Here B Photos
I’m not a fan of Halo. I love shooters but I hate when you can hide behind your shield in Halo.
The engine for Fallout isn’t the greatest but New Vegas was made by a lot of the same people from 1 and 2 and is better than Fallout 3 imo. I haven’t actually played it yet, just watched my roommate play. You can see a lot of similarities to Fallout 2.
No offense marc but that complaint sucks. It isn’t hiding in any way, if it was a regenerating health bar that just took a while to bring down nobody would think twice about it. It’s the nature of the series, and it does add a measure of strategy to the game that’s missing from most shooters these days, which are just twitch games.
New Vegas is supposedly better, but I don’t think I’d enjoy it if the same problems remain from 3. Sounds like a good thing if they added some of the Fallout 1/2 developers. Didn’t know about that.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/martinhathaway/ - Here B Photos
New Vegas is glitchy as fuck. If the load screen takes 3 seconds longer than normal, you start wondering if your game has crashed.
The game itself is great, the idea to set it in Vegas is genius, and the writing is stellar as usual, but the PC version which I’m playing is glitchy as hell. I’m hoping to hear that the PS3 version is better.. but I highly doubt i.t
by Vancouverguy on Oct 22, 2010 1:35 PM PDT up reply actions
I think
I heard the console versions are worse. I’m going to wait a while to see if they release some patches before I even think about getting it.
And I was a bit interested too in the Vegas theme
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Apparently as of Wednesday they were already about to release a patch. I recently just bought Dragon Age so I’ll probably finish that before getting New Vegas. Hopefully by then there’ll be fewer bugs.
Are you nerds still talking about this shit?
My god. Anyone who plays anything other than sports games is a giant poindexter.

I haven't played in a while
But I was pretty well rounded. Although I like the run game sometimes. And in my version, Vince Young is a beast, so I would always just run with him
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
But it's true
Nothing was better than connecting with a long ball

Yawn. That gets tired. It’s like only watching documentaries or listening to one genre of music. Not loving games like Bioshock or Fallout just makes you a sports game nerd.

If you could say playing sports games is a jockish trait with a straight face. I think I’d say Need For Speed is not enough of a simulation to be a sports game. Too much artistic license.

So why did Vancouver drop Morrison again, he leads the Flames in points, just like Bertuzzi is leading Detroit.
I’m rather shocked, and quite amused at that. I expected Morrison to do well, but Bertuzzi… leading Detroit? Come on…
H/T Matchsticks and Gasoline for keeping tabs on former Vancouver players for me.
Money
I think BMo wanted more than the canucks could offer him in terms of icetime and money. Sure he’s a great player but he’s not a 3rd or 4th line center Sometimes you just dont have any place tp put him. I think the Pro tryout was an opportunity for him to show his skills so someone else would pick him up as a favour.
If it ain't got a packet, go home and whack it.

He ended up signing for 750k. We got Schaffer for 570k I think. It’s not that big of a difference.

For shame!

And all we ever were. Just zeroes and ones
Gotta go with the numbers. Letang has been improving each year, and with Gonchar gone, he’s now their PP guy. How can he not get points on that PP? Meanwhile, Subes has just been ok. Sorry Chuckster!
by Beantown Canuck on Oct 22, 2010 8:08 AM PDT up reply actions
No way!
Goligoski has been the man for PP points so far. He’s got 5 or something ridiculous. Love it
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
Well Letang has more overall points, and plays similar PP time. So he’s bound to get more, just based on the right bounces.

I’m calling a shutout for Scheids as well, and I’m also thinking it’ll be 3-0. GWG will be Kesler’s for the taking. I’ll be at the game tonight and I’m already wearing my jersey.
Please pray for me that the guy sitting behind me on Sunday isn’t there tonight. He kept screaming “HIT HIM” at the most inopportune points of play. I really wanted to explain to him that a hit at that moment would take the player out of position, but who am I to argue with a fairly large, extremely drunk man? Oh, and he spilled a bit of beer on me later, then kept his hand on my shoulder a little too long while apologizing. Beauty can be such a hassle sometimes :D

And since Vancouverguy jinxed it (3:38 pm post), how about I go with
Wild 4-2, clusterfuck with another GWG against your guys
(And since my prognotication prowess is about Gary Coleman on a Yao Ming scale, you’re welcome in advance for when I get it wrong)
