League Cracking Down on Nucks Too
Well I think that NHL Head Office is tired of all the Whinning by the Nucks over the Clutching and Grapping of our Top Forwards.
They have come back and said that they are also going to crack down on the "Push Off" move that Bertuzzi does in fornt of the net on the power play. You know "The Move", Nazzy passes from the point to Morrison in the corner, at the same time Bert pushes off the D-Man in front of the Net, gets the pass from Morrison and puts the puck in the back of the Net.
The NHL is sending this Tape to all NHL Refs, telling them that this is a Foul by Bertuzzi, and that it is going to be called as a Penalty.
The Nucks may have whinned a little to much publicly, because now Refs are going to come down on Big Bert when ever he gets Rough around D-Men.
I know Burkie used to work in Head Office, so mabey they are pissed with the way the Nucks have gone so public with the clutching and grabing on Bertuzzi.
Be interesting to see tonight, with Chelios and Bert battling in front of the Net.

A penalty for pushing?
Are they going to call Bert for looking mean next? If Cliff Ronning "pushed" to try and get space in the slot for a shot there would not be any penalty. Once again the NHL not letting talented and entertaining players do what they do best score goals.

According to your bet tonight Captain the fukcing Flyers lost too so I guess no one is perfect. Cloutier is horrible, I simply don't understand why he plays every night, I am beginning to think that the Apprentice is right. The nuck's had better figure it out, actually, what they need to do is cut Sopel's hair because it makes them look like a bunch of fairies. Fukcing clown that he is, perhaps if he stayed on his feet and didn't flop around he would have a better chance at being better than -15 or whatever he is over the time that Jovo has been out.
I watched the game and Cloutier wasn't the problem it was the second coming of Dana Fcuking Murzun, Malk(sp) and his shite defender buddies that let them down tonight. He had no chance of 4 of the goals. Cloutier that is.
Sopel, needs that awful hair to distract everyone away from his shoc-king face. Looks like a fish that's been out of water to long.

Cloutier has cooled off as of late, perhaps coming back down to earth after an unreal start by his (or anybody's, for that matter) standards.
No bandwagon jumping here, but Burkie seriously needs to take into consideration what the sport radio cronies across the province have been moaning about...lack of secondary scoring. Adding some depth up front. Splitting up the Sedins.
The longer the Canucks keep showing up with a one-trick pony in the Bert-Mo-Nazzy line, the more teams will figure out how to neutralize them. And when you neutralize them, you basically contain the entire team.
High In Vitamin R? Bonus points for anybody who can place this vague reference.

I agree with the last two comments about tonights game. Dana is back. Sopel shocking as of late.

Good point, One Dart. You would know this better than anyone. By the way, why are you so interested in my Flyers progress? I guess I can't blame you, especially after they land Kovalev before the trade deadline. Czechmanek's numbers are looking good this year and I am almost sold on the fact he might have a good playoff run.
Anyone else notice that the Wings weren't just dumping the puck in last night but taking shots from center on Cloutier! They (the Wings that is) have his number big time.
And yes, it is become crystal clear that the "nucks" are a one line team and those types of teams just can't win the playoffs.

alarm bells ringing?
Well maybe not yet, but last nights game sure re-exposed some areas of concern....very poor defensive zone coverage, Canucks players left their marks to chase the puck three times and were stripped of the puck for the other two goals. Also as has been stated already, the lack of secondary scoring is holding this team back. The Sedins once again are content to just cycle the puck without generating any sustained pressure. Time to split them again, I think. We will have to wait and see what the coaching staff will do and if Burke will start tinkering.

Pretty good game tonight as the boys stopped their losing skid at two. We finally saw Skudra in net and he did not disappoint. Naslund's goal was special, Bierk had no idea where he was and then, oh, top shelf far side. Brilliant.

Great Game
One Dart, couldnt agree more..
Excellent game tonight.. thought Skudra, Linden and Warriner had excellent games (except for lindens giveaway).. Defense looked good and good support for each other when mistakes were made, teammates were there to back them up.
I would like to see them give Skudra a couple of games so Cloutier knows that there is some competition for the #1 job.
Letowski looked good with the sisters and Cooke was his usual firey self..
