The Score Predicting Wizards List will be updated when I return home from holidays.
Whenever I see LAKINGS.COM the first word that comes to LACKINGS. That would be a fitting word for these Kings, who were completely bombing. However they just finished a short 2-game road trip in Chicago and Winnipeg, beating the Hawks 2-0 and losing 1-0 to the Jets. They are now 4-0-2 in their last 6 after going 1-6-0 in the 7 games
prior to that. They are showing signs of turning it around. They are now in 8th spot in the West, 1 point ahead of Dallas, Calgary and Colorado.

“Then Game 7 was crazy. I went with a girlfriend of mine whose a die-hard fan and she was having a hard time with it, we were both so stressed about it. Then we rolled a few cars after, so we got it out.”
VIDEO
Highlights from the last time these teams met in November:
The Canucks have an "excellent way of becoming a part of history:
Roberto Luongo has an excellent way of haunting Ryan Smyth's dreams and making him whimper at nights:
For the ladies (tip of the hat to SocialAssassin2 on Twitter):
Happy New Year!
GO CANUCKS GO!

Looks like
Mark Lee is the play by play man.
Toronto and Montreal both have games on CBC.

I can think of no better way to spend my New Year's eve
than watching the Canucks light up the Kings.

Really?
How about a beach house in Indonesia with your two best friends and twenty models who all want nothing more than to satisfy your every need? And that’s just off the top of my head. I mean I love the Canucks too but use some imagination here. ;)

Sure there are better ways
but can I fulfill them? Not a chance. I’ll take what’s easy. :)

"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!"
Go
Consider that, in a recent game, Henrik Sedin accidentally high-sticked an opponent, then drew attention to it by waving the linesman over so that the player could receive care.
Go ABBA Go.....
There’s a Swedish indie rock band called The Sounds, a hard working group that plays a gig almost nightly throughout the year. They play dance music with many hooks and beautiful melodies and harmonies. Think ABBA with jam. Highly recommended.
That said, Canucks 2-1, Danny.

Boo urns…if we’re going to have Mark Lee, I’d rather just have Shorty. Mark suuuuucks.
The continents don't drift. They back away slowly from Ryan Kesler.
Happy New Year, Andrew.

Quoi?
Bizarre set of photos of Canucks players with glasses tweeted by Pass It to Bulis.
A sample:

Hahaha
Salo. No NHL logos on jerseys. Must have been test shots for a commercial that never happened. Maybe for these guys?
That seems likely
Daniel’s photo is pretty awesome too.
Roberto looks pretty bad, lol.

Ha!
Sami looked the nerdiest, hands down. Needs some tape on those shades!

Not concerned about the score, but....
It would put me in my happy place if the GWG came from a failed clearing attempt by Doughty that bounced off Quick’s back or skate and in.
His ensuing tantrum would be EPIC.

I vote if this happens we give DCR the title, at least in an “honorary” way.
Like Big Universities do… ;-)
