Yes, last night's game was pathetic. It's obvious our penalty kill needs a complete overhaul. And now, we have to win 3 of the last 4 games. Come on Canucks, I believe in you. If they could do it against the Flames in 1994, you can do it here.
In other news, I have decided to move one of the links up to above the jump so that I can be the first to offer my congratulations to Selke nominee Ryan Kesler. Yes, that's right, they announced it just minutes ago: this year's nominees for the Selke are Kesler, Pavel Datsyuk, and Jordan Staal. As most of us know, Kesler and Datsyuk were both nominees last year, with Datsyuk winning it a 2nd season in a row. Congrats on the repeat nomination, Ryan! (And just as I post the Squid, Yankee posts a full congratulatory story about it and tries to steal my thunder on the breaking news....)
