It's ok to laugh in the face of adversity. I'm doing it. A bit of a nervous laugh though. If we were barely clinging to a playoff spot or the Northwest Division lead even I'd probably be putting Captain Morgan in my cereal instead of milk in the morning. The cushion right now is quite cozy with a 7 point lead on Detroit and a 15 point lead on the Flames. What better time to have your defence decimated? I think the funniest part is that now we are hoping Salo can stay healthy. Yeah, we're pinning our hopes on you, Undead! Just give us about a week or so, ok? Jeeziz, see him limping off the ice in the 3rd? I thought I was in the f*cking Twilight Zone.
The way the Canucks were getting banged around by the Blues losing a physical presence like Andrew Alberts is unfortunate. But Yann Sauve is 6'3" and 220 pounds. He doesn't score points but plays physical. The Montreal native turns 21 on February 18. The kid will have to catch a late flight to Minnesota and get 1 practice in with his new mates tomorrow morning and then jump in the fire against (well shit!) another team in the Wild who HAVE to win to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Canucks have had problems with the Wild this season. They have lost both games in Minnesota by scores of 4-0 and 6-2. Aiee! Actually they have lost their last 4 games in Minnesota, being outscored 21-6. Afraid? NAH!!! Our Canucks are full of surprises. They just gotta cool it with the penalties and play with some hustle.
-Cory Schneider will get the start. Throw the Ginger Lamb to the wolves. Good luck, kid!
-Alex MF Burrows' point streak has now reached 10 games!
-Roberto Luongo...isn't there a puck-handling school you can go to? Other than that..
YOU BEAST!!!
-Rough game for Chris Tanev too. But I'm not going to bag on the guy.
-The game previews will go back to their normal state next game. It's Valentine's Day, dammit. I have priorities.

"I would never do crack... I would never do a drug named after a part of my own ass, okay?"
I think the Winchester hit may have gave that impression, and the Blues were hitting, but the Canucks were no shrinking violets. Of all the stats kept in the NHL, the hit count has always been the most questionable. Wrecker was trying to hit someone every shift. One shift Torres actually hit two Blues at once! They’ll get by. This aint no Habs smurfs here.
That being said, Albie is a loss for his physical presence.
Like GMMG said when he talked about the physical, and whether the Canucks had enough, sometimes you need the refs to do their job in that regard.
We got a little shortchanged there, and even though the Blues were clearly the more desperate team last night, it can be said that perhaps they did not do the Canucks many favors last night.
Whatever. I, at least, am not worried about team toughness. Maybe a little worried about the MASH unit on defense though.
Still, the Canucks win this one. Big. 5-1. Kesler for the GWG.

Dan, I don't agree
Yes, the hit count is incorrect, which is why I don’t look at it – I go by what I see in the game, and what I saw last night (and over the past couple games) has been not very many big hits by the Canucks.
You say Oreo has been trying to hit someone every shift? Trying is not the same as doing – and I haven’t seen him throw out a big one like Winchester, or Neil, or whoever hit Malhotra on Saturday.
Right now they are playing regular season hockey, while the teams they are playing are playing Playoff hockey. Am I worried? Not really. I’ll be worried if they play like this in the playoffs, and if we lose 4 of 7 after April 10th. But it’s not a bad thing to point these things out after losses. I’m sure the coaching staff isn’t just saying “it’s only one game, don’t worry about it”

I’m sure the coaching staff isn’t just saying "it’s only one game, don’t worry about it"
In fairness to the team as well, though, the comments from Henrik, Kes, Manny, et. al suggest that the team IS worrying about it on a regular basis. Burrows going and watching video when he misses some empty nets. Henrik saying (in the middle of a ridiculous hot streak) that the team can’t get complacent and still feels they can play better.
I’m not really worried either. The team’s level of compete has been acceptable, in my opinion, on the vast majority of nights (which is different from previous years when you really weren’t sure which team was showing up). This team has been very consistent almost every night. Sometimes the pucks don’t bounce right. Sometimes the other team gets lucky. Sometimes the other team goes nuts and works harder than they’ve worked all year.
I am still supremely confident this team will be fine. Fewer mental mistakes than I have seen in years, more confidence, more determination and drive. Here’s hoping the d-men will get healthy soon.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
I'm not worried about them
They’re the best team in the league for a reason, and I believe that if they get their d-men back and manage to keep the rest of the team healthy going into the playoffs they’ll be just fine.
Big hits are nice, but I also like that rather than letting a big hit throw them off their game, instead of headhunting and chasing after a big hit, they focus on their strengths, and those are puck control and goal scoring, which will win you more games than it will lose you, just ask the Red Wings.
Semi. Believe what you are going to believe.
You can think all you want about it. I am just telling you, as someone that has followed and watched this game for 40 years plus, that its not as bad as you seem to think. I told you before. One big hit does not mean that one team is more badass than the other.
Watch the kid you so blithely dismiss, Oreskovich tonight. I watched him last night. He was connecting on those hits with guys making passes , and defensemen, every shift. But you say its a weakness, so it is right? Or if the camera is just panning by, maybe missed it? I know for a fact that I saw him hit more than one Blue last night. Yet some stats guy say the Canucks only got one hit each, and everyone believes it.
I am telling you, from my well of experience, that its not as bad as you seem to think. You can believe all you want. Free country and all that.
I see teams trying to play physical against the best team in the league. I don’t see them running anyone out of the building.
Get worried about it if you want. Like I said, your choice.
Like Sandwich says….check the Red Wings. Its the same strategy lesser teams try against them every game. They just take hits to make plays, slip checks, and give back when they can.

I never said I was worried. I just said it was something I’d noticed over the past few games. Maybe I’m seeing wrong, who knows, but from my vantage point it looks like we’re being “out physical-ed” Could it be because a lot of our big hitters on D are out? Possibly.

There's a bridge now.
Guy was walking along the beach at tofino, and he finds this lamp washed up on the shore. “Cool”, he thinks, and gives it a rub to clean it off. Out pop’s this genie. “Blah, blah blah, I’m a Genie, but you only get 1 wish, I’m sick of this wish crap.” says the Genie. The guy thinks for abit and replies, " Well I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii, but im scared to death of flying and I get extremely seasick, so I want you to build me a bridge from Vancouver Island to Hawaii." " Woah Woah Woah!" replies the Genie, " do you have any idea the logistics and the engineering involved in building a bridge that size? It’s Impossible! Sorry, pick another wish." “Well,” the guy says, " I’ve always wanted to understand women, what they’re thinking, what motivates them, what they really want. You know really know what makes them tick." “So,” the Genie replies, " You want 2 or 4 lanes on that bridge?".

From the Dreger Report
3) New York Islanders forward Zenon Konopka’s willingness to speak his mind doesn’t appeal to all, which is abundantly evident among those critical of Konopka’s assessment of Mario Lemieux’s Sunday tirade.
But Konopka is dumb like a fox – he’s not your typical 30-year-old NHL role player.
Off the ice, he’s a successful businessman, involved in two thriving companies.
When he’s not throwing punches, which he does a lot of with 17 fighting majors and counting this season, Konopka is comfortably hosting conference calls or making business presentations.
Yes, the same Zenon Konopka.
So it shouldn’t be surprising that Konopka effectively defended himself during his in-person hearing on Saturday.
Konopka faced Colin Campbell and all involved, including representation from the NHLPA and his agent Kevin Epp, who listened in via conference call.
Konopka articulately described his role in Friday’s fracas with the Pittsburgh Penguins and presented a strong defence as to why he should not be punished for his actions.
The league pushed Konopka on a line change that saw him jump on the ice for an Isles power play in the third period. The NHL wanted to know whether or not Konopka was a last second add to the Isles man advantage or if he jumped to keep the mayhem going.
Konopka stayed on for the duration of the power play (1:47) and jokingly told The Dreger Report, “This was my chance to play on an NHL power play and I wasn’t coming off.”
His shift and game ended with a roughing minor and a 10 minute misconduct, but Konopka convinced Campbell in his discipline hearing presentation that he did nothing wrong.
“There has never been an issue with me and that’s not a coincedence,” Konopka said.
“I have passion and a deep respect for the game, its rules and regulations and ultimately, a great respect for the league and because of that, I do everything by the rules.”
In this case, his words and not his fists helped get him out of trouble.
If it is not painfully obvious already, I am going to talk about this guy every single day until GMMG either acquires him or someone else does, or the trade deadline happens.
MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
The more I read about him
The less likely I see him getting traded. He seems like a big time defender of his team, and you don’t trade those kind of guys away easily.

NM's Chief Lady Pleaser. Just ask eightyseven.
I know...
…why do you think I want him so much? haha.
At the same time, I think we are really close, so unless we’re using picks to add a significant top 6 upgrade, or more defensive depth, I’d be willing to surrender a 3rd rounder for Zenon. Considering the general prevailing thought is that it would be a 5th or 6th round pick, I’d be more than willing to go a lot higher.
Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.
I’m with you Jevant. Big time. He is in the last year of his deal, and the Isles aren’t known for spending to keep guys.
You’d have to think he would think he died and went to heaven if he got traded here.
My man crush is getting there too. Not at CC levels yet…but ZK is making me a fan too.

However, also having admitted that my favorite player is the aforementioned Alex Burrows, I won’t be pained if he does something cool, like a shorthanded GWG.

I'm sure probably a lot of people do
…but to be honest, if I could play hockey at an NHL level (or any level I guess) I would play just like him.
-He can score (35 goals!) and his shooting % was better than a lot of the legaue’s “snipers” last year
-He can play defense, skate fast, hit, etc.
-He can play on any line
-His chirping and pesting, though down this year by design, is awesome and gets in the heads of other players
-He is a team guy, like that Stephane Auger BS from last year, to me it didn’t seem like he was pissed about getting screwed himself, it was that the Nucks lost 2 points which at the end of the year could have been important in the standings
I am sure y’all know this stuff already; I sometimes tend to ramble.
Plus, I am not a PM Bouchard fan to begin with! So I am sure many people, including a multitude of Wild fans, do despise him but if he was on their team they’d love him.

Made of glass and can’t do much but spin around. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I know he can be a playmaker and wrack up some assists sometimes and that is all well and good but that’s………really about it.
If he isn’t doing that he is pretty much worthless as a player. At least our other playmakers like Koivu and Havlat (to a point) can battle for the puck, throw a hit, backcheck and forecheck, etc. Even guys like St. Louis, who is about 3’7’’, isn’t afraid to throw a hit once in awhile and knows how to play effective d for his size.
Especially after this whole concussion ordeal PMB can’t do much of that so I hate to see his contract numbers for what we are getting out of him.

For the Oilers:

I take issue with your wording. They’re not mathematically eliminated until the playoff line becomes higher than their maximum possible point total, ie. if they win 100% of their future games.

I expect a bloodbath today, the injuries will start catching up with the Canucks. The thought of injury of one more veteran D-man (Bieksa, Salo, or Ehrhoff) must send shivers throught the coaching staff (although they would never admit it, of course).
So, there must be panic in Canuckland, right now. And the Wild are reading the memo as we speak:
Just dump the puck and hit the defense as hard as you can, one of them will certainly be down by the end of the game.

If we were in a different position – like maybe in 11th or something fighting for a playoff spot I might be more agreeable to making a trade, but not when we have a 5 point cushion (Det has a game in hand) on first in the conference and a 15 point cushion for 1st in the division

And if our record does drop down below 500 it’s not the end of the world. We’re in a very good spot right now. Hell, going .500 with a defense corps on IR that’s probably better then most teams ice on a nightly basis is pretty impressive

Well, to be fair to Attilas, the acquisition of all the defensive depth by Gilles at the beginning of the season was to address a bunch of “what ifs” they had early on.
But I get and agree with the gist of what you’re saying. You can’t plan everything based on what ifs. You deal with them as they come.
Well exactly
he built up the depth in the off-season. We are now relying on that depth for the next couple weeks. No need to add more. We will be fine. And we have other needs to address.

Look at the schedule
we have 14 very winnable games. Even without a couple of D men. 14-11 the rest of the way isn’t that tough. And they will probably win another game or two that we don’t expect.

If you coach scared of injuries, you’re already done. You plan for what you have in front of you, and that’s it. We don’t have any holes on defence, so there is nothing to worry about there. If another D goes down in the next couple weeks, call up Oberg or Connauton until Ballard or Hamhuis are ready to come back. Then we’re back to normal somewhat.
There aren’t any players I would be willing to give up at this point to make a trade and I wouldn’t want to bring in a dman and upset the chemistry we have going right now. If we trade for anyone, it should only be to fill a hole on our bottom 6. Anything else doesn’t make sense.

“It’s time for guys to step up, especially me,” said Salo, who added he felt fine after taking a hard hit near the end of the game. “Whatever minutes they throw at me I’m ready for that. My body feels good.”
Added Bieksa, who played 28: 07: "You don’t think about it a whole lot, you just keep playing. If Andrew’s out we’ll have somebody else come in and fill the void. Guys are going to come back from injury. They’re not out for the season.

Better than a punch in the cup right?

Cup?
Oh, you mean can. Gotcha.
two sips from the cup of human kindness and I'm shitfaced, just laid to waste.

I meant to say can from the convo up above. We call it a cup here.

OT
I just lost a $2000 pot at the poker table. I am annoyed by this. Not wanting to show my frustration to my opponents, I have opted to vent it here.
I was playing 5/5 at River Rock.
This recap will be exceedingly boring to anyone who’s not a big poker guy/gal. That said, here it is. There was a $10 straddle on. Under the gun raised to $55. I picked up two red aces UTG +2. Given how aggressive the raiser had been playing, I thought I might get a re-raise somewhere behind me if I flatted, so I just called the $55. A guy who had just sat down a few minutes earlier made it $255 in middle position. It folded around to the original raiser, whose cards quickly went into the muck. I gave the new guy credit for TT, JJ, or QQ. After considering my options for a moment, I decided a simple shove was my best chance. I wanted the chips to go in before a potentially scary flop slowed him down, and I thought a raise that wasn’t all in would look more like AA than a shove. I pushed another $700 on top of his raise, he called with Jacks, and he spiked a Jack on the turn.
