Blackhawks projected lineup

What a great ending to a roller coaster of a game on Saturday. If I had to describe it in a run on sentence, it would say this,

"Awesome start, followed a shitty 2nd period, saved by the Leafs ineptitude to stay out of the penalty box."

That game had all the emotions with a great result against a team that the Canucks should beat.

Now the Nucks have to find a way to beat a really bad team. This will be a tough game for most teams to get up for after playing a team like Toronto, but the Nucks need to squeeze every point they can before Feb 22, when they start playing divisional games again.

Petey was able to wake up in the third period last game and this is a team that he should feist against. And then he should go sign an extension for $10.5 million year over the next 7 years.

Chicago is bad and losing Bedard for an extended period makes this game almost unwatchable. Almost....

The days of hating Chicago are gone.

Game Day Battle Hymn

Today's battle hymn from the Counting Crows...wait...give it a chance. This song was on the show "The Bear", which is pretty fucking good....but not a comedy. The song definitely gets stuck in my head after I hear it...daily...in my car. Enjoy.

Go Canucks Go!
