Your (Obscenely Late) Morning Buzz

So as I post this I see it's closing in on 4:00 AM in Tokyo, so it still counts as a morning buzz even though we missed most of this continent. Big deal. It's always morning somewhere right?
Your man Jordan is out fighting crime and saving dogs (wait, that's Backes and his wife, nevermind).
So I shed the corporate shackles briefly to pinch hit which, honestly, isn't all the hard when the biggest thing to discuss is slaying the dead heads.
Again.
You wanna da jump? You get da jump.
Vancouver Canucks News & Notes
- So that Ginga Ninja is starting to turn some heads. Just ask Brendan Morrison if he didn't snap his hip again. [Vancouver Sun]
- "If they look at that they’re going to see it’s a penalty. There’s a slash to my hands and I couldn’t make the move I want. I think it’s pretty clear it’s a definition of a penalty shot. A terrible call." [The White Towel]
- Raymond has played 25 games. His trade rumors have lasted 25 games. I'm awesome at math. [The Province]
- I love this series: the game according to Twitter [CHB]
- Kevin Bieksa is doing his part in honor of Rick Rypien. Even John Scott said something nice and not monosyllabic. [CSNChicago]
- Need some more feel good? Roberto Luongo and the Make-A-Wish foundation have you covered. [Canada.com]
- More rosterbation: How about Edler with good old Bryan Allen? [Puck Drunk Love] Or perhaps Brendan Morrow? [Blackout Dallas]
- A look at the kids courtesy of Hockey's Future. [HF] tl;dr - The G/D looks good, but up front? Not so good.
Today in Canucks History
- Feb 1, 1975: Ken Lockett becomes the first Canuck goalie to surrender a penalty shot goal when Steve Atkinson of Washington beats him. (Lesser known fact: Kay Whitmore was watching from home, remarking to his parents "I hope to be abused in net one day too")
NHL News & Notes
- The funniest box score you'll see today. [Yahoo!]
- Your three stars to kick off 2012: Tavares, Malkin and Rinne. [NHL]
- Anything that gets Pierre McGuire away from broadcast microphones should be celebrated. [Mitch Melnik]
- ...and now a word from Christian Ehrhoff land [Sports Illustrated]
- Teams sitting in or near home ice positions for playoffs tend to take a lot of penalties. [Backhand Shelf]
-
More riot bullshitNothing to see here moving right along [UPI] - It would be stupid for the Devils to trade Parise now, which is why he'll be gone by the end of this sentence. [ILWT]
What I Listened To While I Wrote This
What? Never heard of them? Sigh...who can I blame? I got it: Kid 'n Play. Fuck those guys.

Well
90 points to make playoffs in the west seems too low and historically inaccurate. I would predict around 94 points for a playoff spot. With that in mind, the Blue Jackets still have a mathematical chance to make the playoffs this year. So long as they do not lose more than one in regulation or two in OT, They will play the #1 seed in the first round! 30-0-2 baby! Here comes Miracle On Ice, 2012 edition!!!!!!!

Boston who? Don’t care in the least.
I’m past it, it will take a lot of cards to fall right in order for the Bruins/Canucks to meet again in the SCF.
You’d think that the Canucks won the Cup in four games and put a handful of Bruins in the hospital, based on the amount of bitching coming from the East Coast.
Wow

@patersonjeff: After Schneider’s stop off Morrison last night, Luongo says he plans ‘saucer up middle and diving stop’ to top that

I get his point
but he does make his points in such a “I know better than you” arrogant kind of way, doesn’t he?

@Vancitydan Writer at Nucks Misconduct
exactly
he’s not wrong – and he’s also complimentary of Luongo (shocking) but he just comes across as an arrogant toad haha.

notafullcolon CS: Well obviously I meant we were snorting blow off hookers at the time of the goal
though I kinda take issue with the "toughness" thing
Sammy was playing hurt (not sure what he brings to the table in size anyways), “Fanner Glass” was not particularly helpful. The only lost piece was Raffi, who I thought would have been good to retain. He also seems to list Ehrhoff as a loss, though I don’t see too much gone as we have players stepping up nicely.
In the end, we lost because our injuries caught up with us and the Bruins managed that grind better – we got pushed around a lot, but Boston took a lot of penalties. The combination of everyone playing less than 100% and Thomas standing on his head murdered us. That and a lack of emotional discipline (we seemed to really come apart at the seams in games 3 and 4).
Gillis hopefully addressed in some manner our running out of gas by the finals, physical and emotional. That’s what killed us.

Yep
I think of it as the final step. Well, not the final one, but they learned how to be a good team, win in the playoffs, then win a big series against a nemesis…then the run last year that showed the “what it takes”.
You hear them all sort of think along those lines in interviews, right after of before they look forward. to this year and say lets not talk about that year.
The reasons why, they are kinda obvious in retrospect. Its why I rile at the “toughness question”, because they were tough. They just ran out of healthy bodies and had too many guys playing hurt.
You just know it burns though. That will hopefully make the final step one they can take.
Oh, and I don’t really notice Ehrhoff gone. yes, some more depth is always great on the blue line is always good.
But they are outscoring last year’s pace from the back end, and Hoff’s production is kinda surpassed by Edler stepping in there.

I'm glad I'm not GMMG
That is not an easy decision and whatever he does if he doesn’t win a cup he’ll be criticized. Not an enviable position.
Not trolling by any stretch, it’s actually a pretty decent article by Spector.
Honestly, I’m on the fence about Schneider as a trade asset.
As much as I’d like to charge a TB/Washington/NJ/NYI an arm and a leg for Cory at the trade deadline, the thought of being a Luongo injury away from Eddie Lack being our #1 scares the hell out of me.
Win the Cup this spring, THEN feel free to deal GJ.

I would hazard a guess
that the consensus is to have him here for the “run” and deal with his contract and the place he will reside after that.
2 top flight goalies is a huge asset, and really, as much as I like Lack, ( and have liked Climie in the highlight packages I have seen )…that is for next year too. Both are doing their job down below.
Schneids as much as said that he was dealt with perfectly in his team interview here…he refers to the experience of coming up quite well.
(added bonus! Booth and snowshoeing in Whistler and some BC love! )
Thats the other thing I love about him. Lui is great at the cliches and “Funny Bob” ( and poetry ), but Gingerbricks might soon challenge Bieksa for best quote in the room.
That is saying something in that room!

@Vancitydan Writer at Nucks Misconduct
That’s a pretty reasonable argument, actually. Don’t like the tone, and it is still Spector, but that’s a pretty reasonable argument. The question is a) will someone actually give you something like a Nash for Schneider, and b) how do you fit it under the cap.
But I actually agree with the basic premise, assuming we are talking an elite player. Not Ryan Malone, for example.

At least 74 people were killed and 248 injured after soccer fans rushed the field in the seaside city of Port Said Wednesday following an upset victory by the home team over Egypt’s top club, setting off clashes and a stampede as riot police largely failed to intervene.
Is it because soccer is played in a lot of countries with poor security, or is there something about soccer that makes people go bananas? Aside from the occasional riot cough soccer always seems to be the sport that has this kind of crap that goes on.
They said most of the extra police for heated match ups (like that one) are gone since the govt collapsed.

Two things do it, I think:
1. Law of averages. There are way more soccer games played before crowds then any other sport. More games = more incidents of crazy.
2. Many of the instances happen in places where free expression is very repressed; the soccer games are often the only place to voice opinions. It turns into a proxy for political issues, and sometimes those turn bad.
Other times, people are just dicks.
a game to keep an eye on perhaps?

That mitch melnick piece on maguire...
he makes a good argument, but leaves out the part about a GM needing to have some negotiating skills. Maguire gets way too emotionally involved…sure he might have great knowledge and some good reads of players, but I get the feeling he’d turn montreal into the flames with heavy contracts because he’d be manipulated by smart negotiators like gillis and burke etc. But yes, anything to get him off TV…just as long as it doesn’t mean GM’ing the canucks.
