I really hope Demitra comes back to the Canucks with the same level of play he’s shown during the olympics.

5 straight games the Canucks have given up the first goal and early again. ITs getting to be a trend where when the players say we have to start better I scoff at them. They say it EVERY game and fail to produce. Its always the same with this team.

The Ottawa game was one of the worst I’ve seen in awhile. They did play better in the Montreal game but ran into a hot goalie. The rest of this road trip before the Olympic break are all very winnable games. Hopefully we come out with 4 or 5 wins!

Comment on NHL and CBC Vilifies Alex Burrows – Coach V Defends by puckhead

They dug down so deep, that they maligned Burrows for an incident a few years ago where several Canucks and Wings were talking crap to each other in a pre-game skate, and Downey gave Burrows a little poke with his stick across the redline….. Downey got suspended for it, yet McLean still drew it up with Burrows as the villain.
two other examples were Burrows talking …. just talking…. to Chicago’s goalie during breaks in the playoffs last year. Khabibulin responded with a crosscheck, and Burrows again was painted as the villain. you can’t trash talk anymore in the NHL? I tell you one thing, I would have much rather had Byflugien talking to Luongo during that series than running him over every game.

pretty shitty thing Ron McLean did there – but there is no doubt about his allegiances. he’s a ref, after all.
arrghhh. this whole thing still makes me angry. Kudos to AV for standing up so vehemently from Burrows.

what an amazing day to be watching hockey.
started with Sweden – Finland, caught a bit of Rus – CZE while waiting for the Canada – US game, and when that was over, started watching the Canucks game. thank goodness for PVRs

(what the hell happened to Ryan Ellis? worst compete game I have ever seen ANYONE play.)
