The canucks need somebody to light a fire under their asses. John Tortorella can light a fire under asses. I found it funny watching the media for the last 2 months acting like Tortorella would be the worst choice in the world for the Canucks. Clearly trying to influence the decision. Like, hmm...wonder why the Vancouver media wouldn't want Torts here...

the ice looks good tonight...

amazing how the better skating team manages to have their "ice guy" make sure its a good condition.

Claude Julien has managed to turn Seguin into a defensively responsible forward.
amazing what a month or two of benching will do

Take it up with the weather gods, if its 80+ outside there is no way you are going to have good ice, so time to break out the cold front dance.

I did and I don't get where you call someone over 30 a kid. o-O Sub, that's just confirmation of the talks. Once Tort's was let go Gillis had him on the radar.

i'd like to see Serena and Sharapova go at it in the mud pit on the Saddledome floor.
they could use the money raised for that event to fix the arena.

REOW!!! I think that cat fight would cause more damage to the arena then $$ raised to fix it!

And unlike the tennis courts, it wouldn't be a fair fight... Serena would cream Sharapova.

looks like they've doubled up on Hossa's cortisone shots.

how long before Boston starts sticking Chara in front of the Chicago net?

Corey Crawford's pads are bigger than the first apartment i got after my mom threw me out of the house.

i'd decrease the size of the equipment and increase the size of the net to the point that a 2013 goalie covers the same percentage of the net in the butterfly position as a 1975 goalie did back then.
