They strike me as a team that could easily pull off some upsets in the playoffs. They could pull off some upsets if they play like they were mid-Fed through mid-March. The problem is this inconsistency, especially after the Pominville trade. They gave up a LOT of prospects and future opportunities for a "now" move, and with these three straight losses, the Wild are only four points ahead of ninth (and they were in 3rd this time last week), and their schedule isn't that easy. | ||

Oh hell no. It was just my train of thought because I just overheard it which is somewhat good news for Leafs fans I guess?

When Sidney and Alex joined the league at the same time. I was always rooting for Ovie because I loved the passion he displayed on the ice even though guys like Don Cherry would say, "that shits going to get you in trouble!" Guy has a ton of charisma, but I really hate it when he doesn't get involved in the play. I call it sniper syndrome. x-x | ||

in other news, a certain Maple Leafs coach shares his thoughts on concussions! “I have a theory on concussions,” he said. “I think the reason there’s so much more of them — obviously the impact and the size of the equipment and the size of the player — but there’s another factor: everyone wears helmets, and under your skull when you have a helmet on, there’s a heat issue. “Everyone sweats a lot more, the brain swells. The brain is closer to the skull. Think about it. Does it make sense? Common sense?” said Carlyle, who said he’d never talked to a doctor about his premise, which he was introduced to by Jim Pappin, the former Leaf who also played his career helmet free. “I don’t know if it’s true, but that would be my theory. Heat expands and cold contracts. The brain is like a muscle, it’s pumping, it swells, it’s a lot closer to the outside of the skull.” | ||

"a slight constriction of key neck veins keeps cerebral fluids around the brain" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66uMFVJPGvI Ha ha ha. Alexei Yashin did play like a girl and speaking of which the Canadian women just dominated Russia. Apparently he skates with them wearing his full gear as well. What the fuck? Considering they aren't even allowed to play full contact, which is total balls. I would like it if Ovie did step up his game when it comes to big games like the playoffs and World's. The bigger the game the less likely it is for Ovie to show-up sadly. Still he's a treat to watch when he gets going. As for Canada versus USA. Same because the other teams aren't even remotely close to their level. | ||

lol... on a serious note, it looks like things are starting to come together for the team and a run is actually possible if they keep it together. Roy is proving to be an unreal pick up for us! What I was saying to my friends the other day. The place where I work I see a large amount of customers and often listen to their views on the Canucks because everyone in my town is a classic arm chair coach. If you weren't really caught up in the scene and the standings, you would be led to believe that the Canucks are probably a bottom feeder team that has no depth.. etc. While on the flip side, the blackhawks are probably the best team to touch the NHL since Colorado's run back in the late 90's. When you look at the standings the Canucks are only 12 points out of the Blackhawks and could make a serious move into closing that gap (should be noted since it is a shorten season I do not think it is possible for them to actually catch them). Since the end of the season is quickly coming and playoffs will be starting soon, it seems like all the pieces for this team are falling together and could make a serious run! As long as they can stay healthy this whole post season I can't wait to be in Vancouver when they hoist the Cup! Long story short.... Canucks fans are the worst. EDIT: Sorry for shitty grammar haven't slept yet and currently in class. | ||

I think the same could be said about a lot of fan bases. There will always be a few knuckleheads. | ||

there was something small after winning the Cup in 1993.. and defeating Boston in 2008 in 7 games. i think there was a small thing after they beat washington in 7 games as well. and then there was the riot after Maurice Richard was suspended. but, i don't think Montreal riots after losses. i'm watching Canada v. USA tonight! | ||
