The Canucks, after two gruesome games last week have come home to raise a banner and hope not to get boo’d off the ice. But have no fear faithful, Coach AV took the time to explain to the Twins what a penalty is and what constitutes a penalty so we should have a better proportion of PP’s to PKs.

After a long offseason, those Vancouver Canucks are starting to look like one piece of ACE. I know from experience if you know what I mean!

The Canucks have signed Lou for 12 more years at $64 Million. This would keep his salary at 5.33 mil in terms of the Cap a season. I’m not a capologist but, If the extension is considered this year, the Canucks have freed up that 2 million. However that does mean that Luongo will be on the payroll until he’s 42, at approximately 10% cap hit. Regardless, I’m still pretty Steve Nash fired up!

Turns out the NYR have decided to let Nik Zherdev go after a 3.9 Million arbitration award. As a result of New York’s revolving door and cold shoulder, Zherdev is a UFA. I think he would look just dandy in a Canucks Uni.

First, Luongo has not signed anything, nor can he prior to the first of July. A pundit from ESPN stated that a deal was in place. ESPN also spends less on hockey in a year than the entire population of Phoenix.

Hank and Dank, just like your girlfriend, are looking for something long term and serious. They want 63 million each for 12 years. Thats roughly 5.25mil each a year or 10.5 a year for the pair. Fans in Vancouver are all mumbles and grumbles over this. By fans I mean the ten people who follow the Canucks from mid-june until April 12thish. Just like your situation at home, I think it might be time for something a little more long term. You’re not going to do any better.

It’s officially over, my grizzly beard is now down the drain. My face is smoother than Patrick Kane’s right now.
Apparently someone filled Luongo’s water bottle with NyQuil. As the game progressed Luongo got slower and slower.
To win your best players have to be your best players. They were, well most of them.

The mighty Canucks have seem to have fallen back into some old habits. One of those habits, underachieving to the max. Well AV has been left with a decision tonight. Come out guns blazing or sit back and take it like a man. Lets hope it’s the former and not the latter. One thing is for sure. This series is not over.

It seems at this point that everyone has given up on the Canucks. Everyone but me. Ladies and well, ladies, have ye such little faith. Jesus was all about people who believe but do not see, well he has come back down to earth to tell you that it’s time to believe because you already HAVE seen it.
I’ve got the Zamboni up to 88 miles per hour, let’s take a look back.
