How bad are the Oilers on the road? Answer: they have lost 5 in a row away from Rexall Place. They have lost 13 of their last 14 on the road. Terrible. If there was ever a chance for the Canucks to pound on somebody it would be now. If there was ever a time for the ice-cold Sedins to snap out of their funk it would be now. NOW! Don't play mediocre hockey against a mediocre team. Blow these kids out of the rink and send them off crying.
Enjoy this one folks. The next Canucks game isn't until January 31, a week from now, after the All Star Game festivities.

VIDEO
The last time the Canucks-Oilers met. Ebbett scored 2. We don't have Ebbett now. We are doomed!:
Hopefully we see this from Sami Salo:
Even Mark Lee had a Salorgasm there.
Aaron Rome hip checks the hell outta Laddy Smid:
The title of this post is brought to you by the DX theme song:
PREDICTIONS
-The sim on NHL 12 on PS3 says: 7-2 Canucks. Dank scores 4 and Salo gets the winner.
-Zany says: 4-2 Canucks, Kesler with the winner.

Guaranteed
the Oilers won’t be starting Dubnyk. He just stopped 44 shots against the Sharks. Oil should be tuckered out for tomorrow. 3-1 Canucks, Henrik wins it.

spent my evening doing homework.
then took a break and watched some Weird Al on Youtube.
that lead to rewatching the Golden Goal.
that lead to watch stuff from the SCF’s.
that lead me into the blog archives to look at that StraightJab comic of Luongo and Thomas back in June.
that just lead me into rereading the stuff about Rypien this summer.
now i’m sad.

Ah Ryp
Gone too soon. Miss that guy…
They once made a Kevin Bieksa toilet paper, but it wouldn't take shit from anybody.
and i just made it worse
i’ve been reading and watching all the Rypien stuff again this morning.
this time, i included the Lokomotiv stuff, and finally watched that full ceremony from Minsk.

Baby Nux are in Abbotsford Tuesday and Wednesday!
Jordan Schroeder knows he’ll be under the microscope this week when the Chicago Wolves do battle in the Fraser Valley against the Abbotsford Heat.
That always seems to be the way when the Canucks farm team – now in Chicago after the NHL came back to Winnipeg in the offseason – comes to Abbotsford, attracting bigger crowds to that city’s entertainment and sports centre.
With the Wolves in town for a two-game set, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday (7 p.m. PST) that suits Vancouver’s 2009 first-round pick just fine.
"I’m sure there will be a little more pressure," said Schroeder, who will likely be under the watchful eye of Canucks GM Mike Gillis and head coach Alain Vigneault on Wednesday, as the NHL schedule hits the all-star break.
"Most games in Chicago, you’re not sure who’s watching. I’m sure there will be a little more pressure to do well but you can’t focus on that. You’ve got to bury that in the back of your head and just go out there and have and play hockey."

Sean, if you’re gonna stick with the wrestling themes for a bit may I suggest Christian’s “At Last” and Jericho’s entrance? Two of my favorites.
