Mike Johnson is ripping Botchford for publicizing the quote on That's Hockey.

Botchford's defense is Joe told Farhan Lalji to "shut up", dropped a few swears and asked if any of the media had played the game. Then, with about 20 cameras on him, made his joke. Botchford says he had to run it or would get read the riot act by his boss if someone else had.

So that's his side of the story.

The Sharks brass because called Botchford pathetic and he did this for page hits.

As I said in the pre-game thread, if Luongo stands on his hand and the team clicks on special teams, they can beat the Sharks tonight. I think Kesler also needs to come up big in a game like this. I have a feeling he will.

Not going to predict the score. Just hope we win!

Yes, I saw that too. I thought it was just another example of the national networks being pressured into towing the NHL's line. Either that, or they were letting their favoritism towards Thornton, or bias against anything Canucks-related, show. Botch was just doing his job here. It's not like it was a hidden mic or Botch being told it was OTR. Jumbo Joe derped... Not that it was very newsworthy other than causing people to call his judgment into question.

Anyways whatever. We better beat the Sharks tonight, I want us to win 5-2. Get some Garry bombs and I want Kesler to play well and stay that way.
