Samuelsson Grabs NHL First Star of the Week Honors

PrintSince we're in such a charitable mood these days, we should get together and buy Bengt Aake-Gustafsson some flowers or, if he's hungry, a Swiss Colony Beef Log. Meanwhile he should probably just stop reading anything to do with hockey until about, oh, say June.
Mikael Samuelsson was disappointed at not being named to Sweden's Olympic team. He's taking out his frustration on the Vancouver Canucks' opponents.
At age 33, Samuelsson is having a career season, including a week that saw him get his first NHL hat trick and finish with 6 goals and 10 points in four games to help the Canucks go 3-0-1 while completing the longest road trip in NHL history and returning home with a pair of victories. That effort earned him NHL First Star of the Week honors.
We told you you wouldn't like him when he gets angry.

So if Sammy’s rep as a streaky player is correct, we should expect a nosedive in production from now through the playoffs, right?
Right?
Yergh.
He probably won’t score again til November.
Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that I may dance the good time dance, and lead the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance.
I don’t mind. So long as he rides this and helps us push deep come playoff time.

What a free agent pickup. I thought “m’eh” when Gillis got him but now I think “ah hell yea!” Career year for Sammy. In a Canucks jersey. What’s not to like? This guy will be so beneficial in the playoffs in every aspect.

If only Raymond has a fiber of anger in him, the second line could easily be the F U line.

I always liked this guy, even when he was in the Red Wings uniforms. I thought that he is one of the main reasons why this Canucks team is better than last year’s.
He is a pure goal scorer, and when last year everybody said that the Canucks can’t score, Gillis addressed this issue by bringing him on board.
I don’t believe that he is more streaky than other scorers. Except in the case of a few top scorers in the league (Ovechkin, Crosby), the business of scoring goals always has its ups and donws, and players go through dry patches. Samuelsson is no exception.

I’m pretty sure Sammy’s slumps are/have been worse

With my tongue in cheek...
…most players’ slumps are worse than Ovie and Crosbaby’s.
Knights, Canucks, Dolphins, Jays and Raptors all the way.
I took that literally and tried it.
I look awkward.

Oh. I’m sure I speak for most every male involved in Nucks Misconduct when I say that the mental image of you streaking is probably somewhat more pleasing than the mental image of you with your tongue in cheek.

Those are some heartwarming numbers. Nice touch with the telestrator there.
Always liked FUS and expected numbers maybe a little above last year, but this is ridiculous. Great season.
There is/was a Kentucky team called the Thoroughblades? That’s pretty awful.

should have been Kentucky Headhunters? :)

Well come on…it IS, after all, Kentucky. I’m not sure that they’re all that used to any sports other than horse racing and bass fishing, and we all know what awesome names those two sports include.

Oh c’mon, S312, don’t throw us a curve! What is it?

I’m not that impressed he did throw out like 7 names…..what’s that they say about throwing shit at the wall? It’s the Sutter style of GMing. Except this year nothing is sticking.

I threw out 5 names in that comment, and only 2 were forwards (Versteeg was the other and unlikely since he was RFA → offer sheet).

If you had called Ehrhoff I would have been impressed…but not Sammy. Sorry.

If you had called Raycroft, now that would’ve been impressive.

I’ll give you a bit of credit. Though you ALMOST burned any possible credit with the Beauchemin reference :)
Knights, Canucks, Dolphins, Jays and Raptors all the way.
Times were desperate for D-men at that point in time, IIRC. I had a moment of insanity. :)
BTW, I wasn’t “calling” anything (ie. predicting). I listed guys that I wanted MG to “target”/acquire (ie. guys I want on the team); there’s a difference. Not trying to turn this into a pissing contest, I’m just saying…
