I'm not sure how many people are checking out the Meme thread so I'll just shamelessly showcase a couple gifs I made today.

On the game: This must be a very strange time in the Canucks locker room. Goonish activity for a few games now and now the coach is gone.

John Tortorella was suspended by the NHL on Monday for 15 days without pay from the Vancouver Canucks, after an incident Saturday night when he was caught on camera forcefully chasing the Calgary Flames coaches back to their dressing room after the first period.Tortorella will miss six Canucks games quoted from Yahoo Sports

Damn. I was hoping to see Torts mocking the Eakins chicken dance if things got heated tonight.

Meanwhile, assistant coach Mike Sullivan, who ran practice and will take the reins from Tortorella against the Oilers, confirmed that captain Henrik Sedin will miss the game due to an undisclosed injury. Sedin's absence will bring his consecutive-games-played streak — the second-longest among active NHLers — to an end following 679 straight games. quoted from Yahoo Sports

No Sedin, no coach. Probably still lay a beating on us.

against the Oilers last year was a good example. took one shift at the start of the game then sat on the bench. garbage, it was.

Anyway, the Katz letter inspired me, so I can't imagine how much it inspired the Oilers.
6-2 Edmonton to lead off a streak of 9 wins in 10 games.

Playoff drive starts today.

Ok here are the 2 things that need to be addressed in tonites game:
Kassian needs a beat down for mocking Sam after he was the idiot that swung the stick in the first place from last game.
While we are at it we need hit Burrows high everytime and extra face wash to help his healing jaw get set correctly.
Score who cares if we are not making playoffs then we should go for the best draft pick and just play like Russians that are not medaling. Torment every team just be nasty on every shift drive the other teams to hate playing us for the rest of the year. I played on pretty dicey teams we played best when we just went for it.

Bring up Smac, Eager, Pitlick, Ewanyk and Kessy and just run the Canucks all night. Whos cares if the final score is 12-1. Goon lineup would look like this.

Hall - Gordon - Pitlick
Eager - RNH - Eberle
Smac - Gagner - Gazdic
Ewanyk - Hendricks - Kessy

Can't be any worse then what we have right now.

Several times, as in one time. April 27 2013.

I understand people who don't believe the story line that he actually wanted to play and was disappointed and that is fine, I am not sure I believe it myself. But even if we discount the games he has played since that one he still has 625 consecutive games which is impressive.

only happened once-- but that was once too many for me

Beat me to it.

With 2 points not meaning anything to the Oilers anymore.. its too bad they don't have Smack in the lineup for this. Not like it matters at this point that he can't skate or play hockey.

Wonder if Eakins starts with Gazdic and Hendricks tonight lol
