-The first game of a 5 game road trip for Vancouver that spans from Long Island to Colorado.
-When the Canucks laid a massive egg against the Islanders last March, John Tavares was in on all 5 Islanders goals (2 goals and 3 assists). Daniel and Henrik Sedin were a combined -6.
-The Canucks don't play the Islanders all that often. They have lost the last 2 against them and are 2-1-1 against them since January 2006.
-Vancouver can open up a 3 point lead over the Wings for top spot in the West, as Detroit lost to Colorado Monday night.
-Last thing I want to see is Michael Grabner punishing his old team in any form. Would love to see Jeff Tambellini take it to his old team though, for more reasons than one. He has not scored a point in 6 games.
-Islanders are 6-1 in their last 7 against the NW Division.
-This is the Isles' first game back at home after a 5 game road trip where they went 3-2, beating the Red Wings, Flames and Avalanche.
-The Islanders have won 4 and lost 1 in their last 5 games at home.

-Islanders are 6-1 in their last 7 against the NW Division.

Who isn’t good against NW opponents? Minny, Calgary, and Edmonton are pretty pathetic clubs. Almost as bad as the Laughs and the Devils.
Also, holy injuries Batman! The team is awful and it can’t stay healthy. Especially their “star” goaltender.
Wait
Are you saying the NW sucks and the Canucks aren’t as good as their record shows??

So, I guess we know that marcness52 is Ryan Lambert’s SBN handle… ;-)
(jk buddy )
They are all pathetic, and that little fun with numbers also includes them having some recent luck with the Canucks.
However, with this being now, with the way the JuggerNucks are going, even with the Isles playing well…its going to be a game the Nucks are going to want to make a statement. Plus, they get to travel like an Eastern team for the 1st 3.
The first one will be big.
5-1.
Kesler. ( though Tamby will score too )

I really don’t think those numbers mean much. I mean every team in the NHL has NHL caliber players on it and can win on any given night. It just so happened that those nights for the Isles were against NW opponents.
The Islanders are a terrible team that can sometimes show up and play really well. But I think most of that was Roloson who they no longer have so I don’t think they’re really that much of a threat especially with the mountain of injuries they have.
props on the Radiohead nod. Love it.
Also, the Oilers blogger on hockeybuzz (spare me please) calls us the dirtiest team in the league. Care to comment?
That post was utter bull shite. I posted the links to videos of the ‘cheapshots’ they talked about, and they are 100% clearly clean hits. It’s not even worth giving him any more breath

Are you a lawyer perchance? “Consider exhibit A, your honor!”
However, I wouldn’t doubt Samuelson knows how to throw an elbow when nobody’s looking. He probably learned a few tricks playing with Holmstrom et al.
He took one against Bieksa I am still fuming about, because dirty guys when I played way back when did that same shit. Lifting your knee and putting it into the back of mine, I am going down every time. Right in front of the ref too.
Bieksa almost fell head first into the boards. Holmstrom is very good at it, and I would probably love to have him as a Canuck, but he is a pretty douchey player

Translation
“ZOMG I’M JEALOUS THAT MY TEAM SUCKS AND THE TEAM I’M SO USED TO HATING IS AWESOMESAUCE THIS YEAR! WHAT CAN I DO???? OH, CALL THEM DIRTY!!!! LAWLS THAT’LL GET THEM!!!!!11”
Has he seen the Flyers play?
Who do we even have on our team that’s dirty? Bieksa maybe but I wouldn’t even say that. At least he drops the gloves and fights. I can’t think of anyone on our team that would be considered dirty. His definition of dirty must differ from mine. I think players like Steve Downie are dirty. Players that take cheap shots just to try to injure opponents. I don’t think we’ve taken any cheap shots this year that has injured an opponent.
That was a funny one. Don’t know if you saw the game, but Glass is carrying the puck over the blue line, Hemsky tries to hit him, and bounces off on his ass.
3 crosschecks later, chasing him around like a little kid almost, with Glass displaying the patience of Job, scuffles are breaking out and they take even more penalties.
If anything, it was a great game to show how the Canucks handle that now. Every time Renney put out the goons and took a call, AV put out the Sedins and scored on the PP. It worked too.

Amen, Beantown,
and Raymond Speed! I read from you now Verse 3 from the book of Gillis, in the New Testament after the acquisition of the Ginger Jesus:
And an angel of the nucks did come down, and her name was Kristin. And she did speak in tongues, and said ’verily, it shall be that beantown will lawyer himself finished before the puck drops. And the Luongo shall prevail over mine enemies and grabner, and they shall pay for the sins of their forefathers and last season. And the KesLord will score the third goal, but not the winner, for that shalt be puttest in the net by his manservant tambo.

you forgot the additional verses
A Reading from the Book of Gillis, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20
Then did Kesler raise on high the Holy Hockey Stick of Anmore, saying, “Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine Vulcanized rubber disc through thine enemies, in thy mercy.” And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals … Now did the Lord say, “First thou recievist the First and Second Goals. Then thou must score to Three. Three shall be the number of the scoring and the number of the scoring shall be Three. Four shalt thou not Score, neither shalt thou Score Two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to Three. Five is Right out. Once the number Three, being the number of the Scoring, be reached, then lobbest thou the Vulcanized rubber disc in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall be pulled for the Backup.”
Where do I get the baptism in this church. It’s speaking my language, and I feel comfortable in placing my faith in the (kes)LORD.

Grabner actually had a couple of chances the last game, but I only watched the highlights. Either way, still has his speed, unfortunately, his hands still hasn’t caught up.
Again, loving the leadership core, and the need to avoid complacency every night. Dank showing the east coast media a little Swedish magic, with the winner in a 4-2 game. (Probably giving them too much credit, I don’t think they’re going to score 4 against a in-form Lui)

I read that in the other thread. Makes sense.
Cory effing Schneider is undefeated though. That at the 1/2 point, 10 games or not, he should have been picked with the rookies…

I am going to this game. Can’t wait! Look for me on TV (wearing circa-2000 white orca jersey) cheering on the Nucks! Oh, and if a Canuck gets a hat trick you know damn well I’m throwing my hat :)

The very end of the episode where they show him running to the Grand canyon to do it is pretty perfect too.

Actually, I’m not that worried at all. If I knew he was the ref, I would have called Burrows ftw.
You don’t think Bettman and his lackeys will be watching this one closely? That last game a year ago was a joke and a half, and the NHL really doesn’t need another shot to its publicity, especially with it being on the upswing at the moment.

Okay serious question
I’m reading through the Isles game thread and the most common comment is “How was that not called”. For those that watched more of the game than I did – Did we actually get away with a lot? Why does everyone seem to think we are a really dirty team? I’m not really seeing it, and I generally do not wear blue and green coloured glasses.
