March 7th: Canucks @Sharks: 7pm, HNIC

[Zamboni Driver]

Are we really this bad? So much for all the talk last week about burying the Sharks.

I told you that you were due to rack up a win on your GDT... (but it won't be easy )

tell ownership that it's time to stick a fork in this group now. .

Hah!
The SJS analysts are musing that this could be their season, stick a fork in them - they're all but cooked...

Stats gurus are predicting 95 points to get in the playoffs in the West.

To hit 95 the Canucks only need to go 8-8-1.

The Sharks on the other hand would need to go 11-4-1 to get there, pretty unlikely with the way they've been playing.

Love this win but we have got to stop spotting teams 2-3 goal leads.

Nah, Benning just thinks they need to practice coming from behind, so that an early goal against doesn't throw them off their game in the play offs!

Mayhaps thou jests, but mental toughness is a championship co requisite !

From Smyl to Linden to Naslund to Sedin to Horvat, welcome to the future of Canuck hockey. Love this kid. That was a veteren sick clutch goal he scored, beating a beast in Burns and then the soft touch to tie the game with the bear Burns draped all over him, game set match. Watch out for this kid he's feeling it now, it's just the beginning

Yep, credit where credit is due. If Horvat turns out to be the stud he is looking like that Schneider deals looks like a good one, or at least much more even than many of us, including me, originally thought. It is so nice to have a young guy contributing who gives hope now, and more importantly, down the road.

Yep, and don't forget Tanev, Matthias & Richardson, GMMG is responsible for acquiring those bums too...

Interesting that he didn't spend any time in the AHL to earn his call up.

Sometimes you bring a prospect up and give some ice time to see what he can do, you don't have him sitting in the minors until he is 23/24. This is one thing the GM and coach has to be on the same page about.

I hope to see more youth on the team, ready to take over in 2 - 3 years when the Sedins retire and players like Burrows are gone.

Praise Nonis for drafting Schneider and trading for Luongo setting up Gillis for the glory

Luongo trade had not much to do with Nonis. Keenan loved Bertuzzi and hated Luongo. Keenan initiated the trade and all Nonis needed to do was say YES.

[Topper]

Chip shots like Bo's will keep him off the greens until summer.

He couldn't spend time in Utica. It was the Canucks or junior for him. If he was eligible for the AHL you can bet that is where he would have been, waiting for a call up, especially since WD said he didn't really want any 19 year olds on his team.

Getting to 10 goals earned him an ELC BOnus!

LOL whatever floats your boat, Skipper
