With the inevitable loss of The Stanchion to The Province, the door of opportunity has been opened for us at Nucks Misconduct to take on a new contributor or two. What we are looking for: Monday - Friday morning posts with a bit of opinion but mostly links to Canucks news and NHL news. As with what Stanchion provided, humor is always welcomed, but it's not a necessity. So if you want the opportunity to reach a wider audience with your writing, which SportsBlog Nation definitely provides: drop an email to Yankee Canuck and myself expressing interest, linking to a website you write for (if applicable), or showcase your talent in Nucks Misconduct's FanPost section. We'll even accept recommendations.
OK, some Canucks / NHL links after the jump.
CANUCKS NEWS:
- A couple of funny moments from last night's pond hockey game: the Green Men returned with ammo, and Ryan Kesler planking on the net, or humping the net, or whatever you want to call it:
- Ken Henderson, the magnificent artist who works at Straight.com (StraightJab) has a new masterpiece up called "Masked Controversy".
-
11-year-old Ben Steiner got to be a reporter for a day for the Vancouver Sun recently. Check it out. Change your career path, kid! And don't ask Luongo about Schneider.
- Pavel Bure, Andy Murray, Phil Housley and 2 others will enter the class of 2012 for the International Ice Hockey Federation Hall Of Fame. (The Province). Now if Pavel and his girlie-named brother would stop bitching about the Canucks maybe we'd retire his jersey, or give him a Ring Of Honor nod.
- I'm gonna pimp my own Photoshop of Cory Schneider, since the nickname "C-Wall" came up on Twitter yesterday:
- Lyle Richardson from Spector's Hockey rounds up the Bobby Ryan trade rumors that are still ongoing (Spector's Hockey). Of course, this should simmer down after the coach being fired.
- Dimitry Chesnokov from Puck Daddy talks with Alexander Ovechkin about Boudreau, Hunter, Crosby and more. (Puck Daddy)
- The Paulina Gretzky / Daddy / Twitter thang is on-going. Yeah Wayne, you let her buy new boobs, and look what happens hey? (Puck Daddy) Millions of men worldwide rejoice.
- NUGENT-HOPKINS! NUGENT-HOPKINS WINS HIS 2ND CONSECUTIVE ROOKIE OF THE MONTH AWARD! (TSN) Control your boner, Mark Lee.
- Video: Cabbie Presents: The Twitter Tour. (TSN)
- In case you had not heard: The Flames have lost their best defenceman Mark Giordano to a hamstring injury. And speaking of Flames defencemen, Cory Sarich wants to get the hell outta Calgary. Wow. You know, if there was ever a time to rebuild a team...start from scratch? Tank?
- James Reimer and Ryan Miller are ready to return to the nets of their respective teams.
- This might be the perfect hockey hit, as SBN's Travis Hughes mentions:
- The word F**K. Which kind of makes me feel better after last night's circus act.
OR:
I don't know if that nickname will stick or not. But I really like how it's fitting to Vancouver.
NHL NEWS
IF you are about the same height as the guy you are hitting. If Edler does that it's a head shot.

-I don’t think Ryan gets traded anytime soon, but I don’t think it would be a terrible move for the Ducks. They just have so much tied up in those 3 guys up front that I think it’d be a good move. Look at their depth; if they could move Ryan (the lesser of the big 3) and get a few complementary pieces for him, it’d probably be for the better of the team going forward.
-I’m… not really sure what to make of Cory Sarich requesting a trade. But I really do believe, as I have for a few years now, that the Flames should man up and do what’s best for them (long-term) and what’s best for Iginla and give him a chance to win the cup. I have some friends who are Flames fans who insist it’ll happen in Calgary, and I know Jarome and the team both say they want to win a cup together… But honestly, take the fucking blinders off. It’s not going to happen, move the guy while you can still get something for him and give him a chance at what he deserves. I got mad respect for Iggy.
On Re-alignment:
-Straight up Detroit to the Southeast is a stupid idea. I hate it. The only way I see re-alignment working with the 6 division system is for Nashville to go to the SE, with Winnipeg to the central.
-I like, for the most part, the 4-division idea, with Detroit or Columbus going out east. While I’m into the idea though, I can’t say I’m all that jazzed up about divisional playoffs. Why is this necessary? Would it not be possible to use 4 divisions to re-balance the schedule, then seed the Div. leaders 1 and 2 with everyone else following in the conference? Also, might want to fully determine the fate of Phoenix before we run into a situation where they’re in the East, resulting in more changes being necessary.
I think
that depth, at forward at least, goes poof whenever Father Time catches up to Selanne and Koivu.

Which is likely next year
Although i’ve been saying that every year. I think they completely have to build a 2nd line next year. And one guy they make it help from is Emerson Etem who is making Jr hockey his own personal playground. No one can stop him.
i'd sorta like to see Det to the SE
Make them travel a bit. Also, would be good for that division I think.

The Ryan Kesler workout plan
Involves planking on top of the nets.
The GM Came out yesterday
and said Ryan would not be traded as is off the block.

legit question
NMers’ thoughts on the Green Men? Just seems so “minor league baseball” to me.

a sense of humour to the game. Canuck fans can be so serious sometimes.

the idea is ordinary, but the execution is always fantastic. i can’t think of a single green-men appearance that felt strained: it’s always comic, timely and fresh. you can’t see them pull off something like ‘spin-a-mcginn’ without thinking it’s a fantastic thing for the fans and the organization in general

That is amazing
"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!"
Love that
The Green Men have had some really inspired sight gags. I think they liven up the arena. The VAN fans tendency is to get anxious (41 years of futility will do that to a person), but the Green Men loosen people up.
And any fan phenomenon that inspires endless copycats around the league must be doing something right.
Andrew Alberts once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels.
I'm a fan too...they pull it off
in a natural way and are funny

It’s that whole occupy the lower bowl thing. Ya know, we all deserve to sit in the lower bowl and all that. The people are angry “Why should only the top 50 percent get to sit in the lower bowl!?”

Exactly
I was being a dink. I hate all that occupy stuff and it seems to me the people who make up the story about the folks in the lower bowl are of the same ilk. The last few years if i go to a game I only sit in the lower bowl and people down there are as excited as anybody else.Also, it’s a misconception that fans at Rogers arena aren’t excited. It’s just that they’re generally too angst filled to really let loose.
I think
that’s about accurate

Agreed
There was a silver haired business suit sitting one section over from us on Thursday who spent the whole game pounding on the glass. Totally into the game.

not that I wouldn't like seeing the fans
get into the game. but I don’t think it’s they don’t care… Of course there are some of those, I just think they are angsty, since the Canucks tend to do that to people

notafullcolon CS: Well obviously I meant we were snorting blow off hookers at the time of the goal
Angst is definitely right. This is going to sound homer-ish but I think Vancouver has one of the most passionate fanbases in the league. But we worry. As Cam Cole put it in an article in the Van Sun a few days ago, the fans are used to a perpetual, annual swing of hope then disapppointment/despair. Going without the cup for so long engrains a certain feeling of dread at times for the fanbase.
Last year was a bit of an anomaly that way…people really truly believed our time had come. We were going to break that cycle. Which made the ending that much more painful.
Andrew Alberts once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feels.
agreed
I felt exactly that too. That our time had come and then that game 7 was a pretty big slap in the face. Not just losing but never really bothering to show up in a meaningful way. It’s made my relationship with the incarnation of this team completely unique. In that, I love how much they accomplished and how incredibly skilled they are. On the other hand I hate the apparent mental weakness of this group as a whole. I’m positive i’m not the only one, then you couple that with 40 years of not just failure but a lot of epic failures and it’s no wonder the fans are angsty (love that word btw canuckles).
it's so wonderful
and so perfectly describes us :)
Even if it isn’t a word.

Time for Brodeur to retire
3 goals on 4 shots.
Pulled.
Cory F'n Schneider - Canucks #1 goalie, now with more cowbell.
Kokosnötter, gå!
And not to be outdone, Backstrom also pulled, 2 goals on 9 shots.
This seems eerily familiar.

meanwhile, when i showed up at SCH, they were all on the ledge because they were down 1 goal to the Islanders…..

Diplomatic immunity has its privileges
If they’re so cool, then ask them why they’re getting outshot in the 3rd in their own building 19-3 by the Islanders of all teams.

yeah, they’re not enjoying how they are being held back by the Islanders.
however, one of the things with diplomatic immunity is that i can lose it if i make comments that come across as too trollish.

You have to admit, it does bring something to a rivalry when teams trade stars between each other. It doesn’t happen often, but look at Boston/Toronto. If the games weren’t such blowouts, and the Leafs could make it to the playoffs, it’d be great to watch. Or the Colorado/St. Louis match last night, there was a lot of tension there.
but if we were bringing toews in, there’s no point in a redundant squad
so you’d have to add bolland and carcillo for kesler in the bundle
oh shit, that’s a rape

I had to laugh it off. It would have been harder to do if we had not just won 5 in a row.
