Your Morning Coffee- Tuesday January 25
Color me pissed off. That's right, I am ANGRY about last night's game. We were lead to believe this would be an epic battle of two elite teams in the Western Conference. What we got was something that should have been accompanied by 'Sweet Georgia Brown'. Okay, so I am not pissed. That may have been one of the best performances by the Canucks this season. Every single aspect of the game was dominated by the Canucks, and apart from a cringe-worthy gaffe by Henrik Sedin, if you had anything to complain about with last night's game, you complain too much. Any game where only 4 players don't make the scoresheet is a success no matter how you look at it. More after the jump...
A lot of real encouraging signs last night that this team once again is taking responsibility after some lackluster efforts, as evidenced by the play of the Captain and Ryan Kesler. Did I really see that stat that the Canucks are 17-0-1 when he scores? That's impressive. I really liked the hustle of the 4th line last night, and was happy to see Aaron Volpatti get rewarded with the beauty set up on Hank's goal. I also liked how he brushed off the Stars' Krystofer Barch when the score was around 4-1. Why take your foot off their throat at that point? A whole lotta slump busting goin' on last night, and Mikael Samuelsson had one of his better games this season, looking dangerous and more like the FU Sweden we had last season. Christopher Tanev continues to show that he may be a keeper, with some rock steady play on the backline with Keith Ballard last night, and Alexander Edler was solid once again, really starting to come into his own, that kid. And thank you, Thomas Gradin for that.
For those of you who never got to see Gradin play, he was pretty damn good. He was often overshadowed by a certain team in Edmonton (they had a couple good players on that team, eh?) so you didn't notice him in the division when they Oilers were continuously making everyone their bitches. A great skater with sweet hands, in a way very Sedin-like in the way he approached the game. Shame he didn't have a twin. It was cool to see footage of him in the blue and green original jerseys, as most recollections of him are in the V jersey. A nice tribute to one of the true beauties this club has had in it's 40 year history.
Another tough challenge tomorrow night as the Canucks welcome Shane O'Brien and the Nashville Predators to Rogers Arena in their last game before the All Star break. You know the Roxy have had this date circled on the calendar since the schedule was released, no doubt excited that the prodigal son is returning to claim his throne of sorts.
Fried Potatoes and Scrambled Eggs
The Flames have won 3 in a row, and have seemingly put any thoughts of a rebuild on hold as they now feel they can reach the playoffs. The moved out of 14th into 12th place last night, 4 points back of the 8th place Colorado Avalanche, and in a surprising move placed long time forward Craig Conroy on waivers. Not sure if they're just trying to move him down to Abbotsford or what, but this seems like the curtains are slowly closing for their one time Captain... Add Evgeni Malkin to the list of players who will not be at the All Star Game this weekend, joining Sidney Crosby, Jarome Iginla, Ales Hemsky and Tobias Enstrom of Atlanta... Lots of rumours floating around about who might get the GM's job in Ottawa next season, including TSN's Pierre MacGuire. If there is a god, he/she/it will pluck him from the airwaves and give him the task of rebuilding this sad sack squad that is starting to make the Leafs look good...
WAACH 'Cast's Band Of The Day- MIDNIGHT
A thrash/black metal band that's written a song about the Pittsburgh Steelers? Why the hell not? With the Super Bowl rapidly approaching, this Cleveland, OH based band re-worked an original song of theirs to pay tribute to their favorite team the Browns Steelers... Not a bad little ditty, very gritty and dirty. Me likey.

I was never worried
I had a feeling Giggsy would come on at some point and change the game. And the Rooney/Chicharito sub was the perfect decision. The way they were playing I knew the pace of the Mexican would open the Pool defense. Wasn’t sure we would win but felt we could get back in the game.
Now I just hope the Brazilian lad is OK.

4th line center
Although Glass is playing admirably at center, how would you guys feel about sniping Conroy off of waivers?
Aside from the fact that Conroy is old, and a long time Flame, he’s a well established checking forward that has tons of playoff experience. He’d be pretty good for some of our younger bottom 6 guys like Glass, Hansen, Bolduc etc.
His cap hit is very manageable too — 1 year 500k two-way. Getting him off of waivers would reduce the cap hit even more.
do. not. want.

He's not a 4th liner
he’s a second or third liner who isn’t good enough to play that role anymore. We are the top team in the West why do we want the cast off from a team that’s 13th or 14th?

Can’t remember if you and I have tangled about this before or not, but considering that guy wins a ton of faceoffs and is super gritty and can chuck them when necessary, I cannot understand the hate.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
I don’t really know how I can explain it. Might be the fact that we had career depth guys that were only really good at one or 2 aspects and those players turned out to be a major weak point in the team when it really boiled down to it.
But we’ve also tried filling those depth roles with older, past their prime skilled guys (cough Demo cough), and that hasn’t panned out either.
"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!"
NM's Chief Lady Pleaser. Just ask eightyseven
Trust me
If Konopka ever played a minute above the 4th line (barring injury) I’d be not very pleased. But the number 1 thing I want out of my 4th line is the ability to control the puck, and Konopka starts with the puck better than almost any 4th line C I am aware of. I suppose it might not be as much of a deal later on in the year when one of the top 3 will take every single faceoff (or almost every single one), but it helps. And having a guy who can actually play C would be good. Heaven forbid Manny goes down in a playoff game. Do you really want someone like Glass taking faceoffs on L3?
Having an extra faceoff guy with some grit to boot? I’ll take that.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
Point taken again. I would be very happy with any 4th line center if they could win faceoffs, forecheck, be smart in all 3 zones, and work hard. Unfortunately the ones we’ve signed in the past either just plain suck or kept getting injured.
If Konopka can be a consistent performer given the criteria, I’d be ecstatic.
I’d also like to say that Bolduc fits my criteria pretty well, except that he’s especially injury prone.
Somewhat of a shame
If Glass keeps improving his faceoffs I like the looks of him there next year. I don’t think he’s ready to be the guy at this moment, but he’s getting there

Sometimes a depth guy is always going to be a depth guy. Like Section said, Conroy is higher liner who can’t compete there anymore, while Konopka has always done the low line centre position. And he is actually good at faceoffs

Yeah
Just because Conroy used to be a good 2nd line C doesn’t mean he’ll be a good 4th line C now. In fact, he reminds me of an older Wellwood if he was trying to play C on an energy line. Doesn’t work.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.

So obviously my opinion wasn’t received particularly well, and I apologize if I seemed ignorant.
We’ll just have to wait and see if MG makes a move at the deadline. I wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up picking up some sort 4th line C.
Hey
It’s not ignorant at all. Just because we disagree doesn’t mean we aren’t wrong, or that anyone is po’d. Lots of us have been wrong before. I desperately wanted us to sign Paul Kariya because I felt that we needed more scoring this offseason. Clearly I was badly mistaken about that.

Puck Daddy has an interesting article on the current Vegas odds
Interesting stuff, but if you bet on the Canucks to win the Cup at season’s start, you would be in line for almost twice as much money as if you put the money down in Vegas today.
For comparison, Pitt and Philly also improved ( check out how the Hawks and Caps changed too ), but not nearly as much. Pitt went from 7-1 to 5-1.

Alexander Edler
This guy is getting exponentially better each year. Went from 20 pts to 37 pts to 42 pts and now on pace for 53 pts. What I’d like to see out of him is more of Game 1 vs LA last year. He was absolutely the most dominant player on the ice that game. And the best part? He’s only 24! Definitely worth the 3.25mil this year (and the next two years)…
He was a human torpedo again last night too, threw a couple of big open ice hits

I missed the first period of last night’s game but heard he laid a devastating and debilitating hit on Wandell…
If he plays physical like that consistently, I believe he’ll reach Norris Trophy levels.

Just a little math note...
if he started at 20 and was growing exponentially better, he’d be on target for 25,600,000,000 pts this year. Just sayin…

Not exactly
Just because it’s exponential doesn’t necessary it’s an exponent of 2…
Based on his learning curve, if he keeps this up, he’ll be on pace for 65 pts next year
so he's improving
in a linear model, not an exponential one.

Meh.
I am just taking issue with how much crap Gleason’s taking for it. So what if Kulimen isn’t a fighter? He shouldn’t be pushing Gleason’s face if he wasnt’ a fighter. If Kulemen instigates/continues the scuffle, he’s totally fair game.
Good job, Gleason. Thank you for contributing to what is the next chapter of Laffs schadenfreude.

His own coach said there was nothing wrong with it.
Tanner Glass had the best quote on the story on TSN
“He punched him 2-3 times in the head. What did he expect to happen…You have to expect to be dropped when that happens…I laughed when I saw it…”
Not a direct quote, but you get the gist. Must be tough for Kulemin. My fave part was Dion gets over there to deal with it in the arms or Cole, and the ref already has Gleason, and you see Gleason’s hands out as you can almost here him saying…
“What the fuck did you expect me to do FFS” Dion didn’t make much more of it, and neither did the Leafs.
Speaking of, what a bunch of poufters. Sorry and residual Leaf fans, but MacArthur fractured a finger earlier, and no one on the ice stepped in for him when he got in a fight when he came back to play…with a fractured finger.
Sometimes you have to say what the eff and make your move…you know? LOL
But in all seriousness, someone should have said what the eff to the extra penalties and gotten in there. That does not show a team that are together…to me anyhow.

Oh, and another mistake. It was Colby Armstrong, not Clark. I get those two mixed up, and only caught the first part of the game and then that on highlights later

Yeah, but regardless Subes. Thats what douches do.
Teams that are together, someone else goes in their and stands up for their boy? Who was on the ice? Phaneuf’s pair, or Schenn’s? Beauchimen?
Someone has to. Its not incumbent on the team that is picking the fight to not go with Armstrong. He is always a willing combatant, and looked to be wanting to do it.
But I could not believe a game I left watching where the guy was hurt, I see the highlights that he fights, and no one went in and took it off his hands.
He has a fractured finger FFS. Seems someone without one should be throwing punches for him there.

Very true, but the Leafs don’t have many fighters apart from Orr. If Brown was on the ice his mustache would have wiped the floor with Downie.
Phaneuf or Beauch probably should have intervened, maybe they thought they shouldn’t since that would result in Komisarek receiving more ice time
Yesterday, Claude Lemieux was on OTR.
He said something to a similar effect too, how a rookie managed to piss off Peter Worrell, and he felt that it was his responsibility as a vet to step in and take up the fight on the rook’s behalf. (Probably a skilled rookie.. but you get his point).
C.Lemieux ended up with 23 stitches, and the rookie apologized to him after the game. He’s a douche, but you’d love to have a guy who sticks up for one of his own on your team.
