The Zombie Dave Nonis Memorial Canucks Regular Season Thread

[Grapes]

Did anyone check if Corey Schneider knew how to skate before we drafted him?

I'm allergic to both the canucks and emo music for robots.

we're now starting to see how much this team relies on bobbi lou.

as bad as the Oilers have been this season, if they win their 2 games-in-hand on the canucks, they'll only be 4 points back. and this is playing 16 of their first 23 games ON THE ROAD, with their record being .500 on the road.

the canucks have overachieved, I don't think anyone could argue that. their dependence on their goalie for wins is downright horrifying. speaking of which, you guys need a goalie? we've got 3 nhl goalies on our roster right now - doesn't seem like you guys have any that aren't injured......

back to homework - see ya around xmas.

Are you serious/on glue? we beat the Pens, Red Wings and the Wild with our backups.

PS: most of that that happened on an almost as shitty roadtrip, which we were unbeaten in regulation on
PPS: you've only played two more road games than us so spare us the oilers "always on the road" excuse.

Problem right now doesn't have anything to do with our goalie situation, both Sanford and Schneider have been playing well, we've played like shit in front of them.

Have you actually watched the games? The team is playing great! Considering what has happened, you can't expect them to keep the streak that they have going during hell road trips.

[cubed]

That hit from Davison was insane.

BUT HOW THE HELL DO YOU NOT SCORE WITH 7 MINUTE POWERPLAY???

[rawb]

sup we lost to the oilers
sup we beat the panthers
sup we beat the oilers
sup we retired linden's jersey

latest on sundin:

Waiting on a 6 million dollar (retroactive) deal with NYR. NYR will need to do more than waive Prucha and Rissmiller in order to clear the space. Look for Voros/Rozsival to be moved.

If no moves are made before the x-mas freeze, I would say that the Nucks are then the forced choice.

And tied for first in our division...

[rawb]

and tied for 7th in the league

[rawb]

yo littlejon how are your oilers doing

[NinjaBoy]

Being an Oilers fan is a lifelong pain that must be akin to being a cubs fan, or having a large nail stuck in your face for the last twenty years...

[Grapes]

Uh.. don't go back as far as 20 years.

Whups, I guess you're right. 80's Oilers were fine.
My bad

...fyp

[ebbomega]

Basically yeah.

Gretzky + Robitaille + Fuhr + Messier + Kurri... I mean I could go on but basically right there is probably one of the most powerful forces ever in the NHL (if not THE most powerful force ever)

[NinjaBoy]

Sundin just signed!

[NinjaBoy]

Sundin agrees to deal with Canucks

[ebbomega]

I just cheered at work. Dude three seats down knew exactly what I was cheering about.

I think we just locked ourselves a playoff tier.

edit: provided we don't lose our entire defensive line to injury...... srsly, wtf?

Don't forget they won their last cup without most of those guys.

Craziness!!...

Let's get Louie back and start setting our sights on Lord Stanley!

As for the defense.. O'Brien has a charley horse, not typically going to miss many games with those. Salo, well.. we've just come to expect that thing from our very own Glass Joe. With our core of Mitchell, Bieksa, Ohlund and Edler healthy, we won't have too many problems.

[shift]

Woooo!

[Grapes]

Little bird informs me that Luongo is scheduled to return in approx 3 weeks. Hopefully this bird is being straight with me.

[rawb]

if we get worked by the hawks tonight watch the bandwagon UNLOAD

[omega_image]

hawks have won 6 straight. i don't expect a win, but i think we'll pull it off. the kids played a OT battle in calgary last night, so here's hoping that they come out a bit sluggish.
