(Stats accumulated prior to tonight`s games.)
The Canucks and Thrashers have only played eachother 4 times since February 2007. The Canucks hold a 3-1 record. Like missy had pointed out today, we renew our acquaintance with one Dustin Byfuglien. Is he gonna park his fat ass in front of Luongo...who knows. Oh, and hello again Andrew Ladd, another Hawk I hated. Understand I hate them because of their success against us and for the same reason opposing fans hate Burrows.
The Thrashers are not going to make the playoffs. The Canucks are closing in on clinching top spot in the NHL. Even with their excellent positioning they are telling us that they are not going to let up and want to go into the playoffs rolling. May it be so!
Alain Vigneault said Thursday that Mikael Samuelsson (lower body) and Tanner Glass (ribs) need a couple more days yet before they are ready. Perfect. Let Higgins and Raymond get more minutes and snap out of their collective funks. I can see the look in Chris Higgins`eyes. He really wants to get that first goal as a Canuck out of the way. The effort is there. I love his play. The scoring will come. Raymond is pressing too but man is he squeezing the stick. His confidence is not there. Vancouver needs scoring from other people. Only once in the Canucks` last 3 games has a goal been scored without a Sedin being involved on the scoresheet.
Some whack stats from Covers.com:
-Canucks are 7-1 in their last 8 Friday games.
-Canucks are 25-9-1 in their last 35 vs. Southeast.
-Thrashers are 7-1 in their last 8 games as a home underdog.
-Thrashers are 5-11 in their last 16 home games.
-Thrashers are 8-21 in their last 29 overall.

4-3 Canucks
Kesler GWG
Beating that bitch Byfuglien and his assclown buddy Ladd will be so sweet.
Hard to get the hate-on for Atlanta but with those two douches I can manage.
You can go through life adrift and alone
desperate, desolate, on your own
but we're lookin' for a few more stalwart clones
so come and join us

Kind of OT
But I just want to say I appreciate the people here. For the most part all the debates I see are pretty well reasoned and I see people being able to admit they are wrong. I like this. Currently being engaged in an internet debate that isn’t like this and it makes me wish I had more to contribute here but I don’t especially like saying anything unless I feel I’m adding to the discussion and my hockey knowledge is quite sparse compared to others here. Of course by lurking around I learn things so thanks everyone :)
..might be playing too much xbox at the moment..

Speaking of creepy lurking
I noticed the other day that casual still logs in regularly but he doesn’t post. Creepy indeed.

was a wonderful member of this community. And yesterday I was looking over some old posts from like a year ago to see what was being said about Raymond and I noticed casual’s name. So I clicked on it to see how long it has been since he posted.

i never had a problem with the kid. I loved that he did the skate around with the taunting gesture…we as a fanbase so deserved it. I said it in game threads last season too, he’s an average player who singlehandedly got into the collective canucks heads…when ryan kesler does exactly that we call him keslord and worship his aura… buff does it and we call him fatass. We’re hypocrites. Again, he didn’t beat the canucks, the canucks beat the canucks.

if Pavelec doesn’t play this week the guy gets no points from that spot.
