Game Preview / Gamethread #48: Canucks vs Capitals

January 25, 2025
- Westy

CAPITALS (33-10-5) at CANUCKS (20-17-10)

10 p.m. ET; CBC, SN, CITY, MNMT2

"I just can’t do another fucking tear down. I’m old. I’m tired. I’m probably going to die in the first days of the American invasion. And I will never see the Canucks win a cup and that just blows." -Kent

If there were awards given to positivity, our man Kent, well....nevermind. And I will add that Kent is a fucking liar. He can't quit the Canucks. None of us oldtimers can. Even if management blows up this team, we will be here to see the tire fire of an organization.

Now, I will express my frustration at the fact that this team is a hot steaming pile right now. This structure that Coach Taco keeps talking about is made out of Play-doh or else players have selective amnesia almost every game. I am also frustrated listening to the younger generation of Canuck fans and their quick fix solutions. They also have so many fingers pointing blame that you would think they are carnies.

I think we all know that Petey and JT are checking Twitter every 15 minutes.

Canucks play some team from the U.S. tonight. Their top player is a Russian who loves Putin.

Joshua, a forward, will miss his 10th straight game but skated with teammates for the first time Saturday morning and coach Rick Tocchet said he could return in one of the following two games.

Game Day Battle Hymn

Kent isn't the only one who hates the idea of watching a midget team play in Rogers. My anger comes with loud, obnoxious noises that will punish everyone.

Only John Tesh might be able to save us.....maybe.

COMMENTS

Comment System How-To

New NM, new comment system. Still uses words and stuff. Hover over the icons to see what they do. 

The most vital function is image embedding. Paste the link to the image in the comment box. When the comment is posted, the image appears. Most of  the time. 

NOTE: Remove the non-image name jibberish. If the image link has any stuff after the file extension - usually a ? with directives like: woo.gif?size=480 blah blah - delete up to and including the ? - simples.

GIF it up for Westy! Or still life in rum.
NOTE: Comments refresh every 30 seconds. Not fast enough for most of our lightening round contestants. We are working to increase the refresh speed. Just... not working too hard... because NM labour guidelines. Thanks for being patient!
