So… What’ll it be Sundin?

The Sundin sega goes on…. and on…. and on. I don’t know about the rest of you but I am starting to get tired of hearing about Sundin and his inability to make a decision. If the 20 million reasons that Mike Gillis offered Sundin to play in Vancouver isn’t enough for him to make […]

Where was the desperation

The Vancouver Canucks did not look like they had the desperation to win a game that they needed to win and the result, of course, was a loss.
The Edmonton Oilers played the roll of spoilers tonight perfectly. Scoring two goals in the second period, and the stellar play of Roloson (if I got the spelling […]

May be time to bring out the clubs

Its a familiar story. A 2-0 lead blown with only 20 minutes of effort in the game. This time the Vancouver Canucks did it at home.

The player you love to hate

The games over and the Canucks have won. 6-2 final.
If you arent a Flames fan, Jarome Iginla is a player that you love to hate. You cant deny he is talented, plays with grit and can scrap pretty good, but for any fan of any other team you just have to hate him.
