Vancouver Canucks Regular Season: Games 16-25

The format has changed again, as now I'll just sim all the games, since this game is kind of broken. However, your experience shouldn't change, as I'll still go in-depth on all of the games.

Game 16 was the return home against the Florida Panthers. Higgins got 2 in the first period to hand Luongo the early lead. Henrik Sedin, Roy, and Malholtra all got goals in the second. Fleischmann got one back to make it 5-1. Boyes and Booth scored for the Canucks, and Mueller and Upshall scored for the Panthers to make it 7-3 the final. The Blackhawks proved tough in Rogers Arena, as early goals from Hamhuis and Daniel Sedin weren't enough to keep the game in regulation, and Chicago won it in the shootout. The final game of the homestand was against the Minnesota Wild. Mikku Koivu got one in the second, but Hamhuis' two goals in the third, plus Roy's empty netter, gave the Canucks faithful a 3-1 victory.

Hedberg was in net for the start of the road trip against the Senators. His performance in net was awful, as Boyes and Kesler's efforts were not enough in a 6-2 loss. The Canadiens were next on the slate, and tough games from both goalies, plus a goal from Brad Boyes sent the game to OT tied 1-1. However, Galchenyuk scored with a minute left for a Canadiens victory. A NY trip was next, as we took on the Rangers and Islanders in a back-to-back. Raymond's goal in the first, plus a great game from Luongo, were the difference in a 1-0 shutout. Sedin, Boulton, Hamhuis, and Edler scored in the second, and the Canucks added two empty netters for the 6-3 victory. After the game, Cam Barker was announced to be out for at least 3 months, leading to the call-up of John Moore. We finished off the road trip against the Sabres in Buffalo. Leino scored early, and Roy scored late against his old team to send it to OT. Stafford scored in the shootout to give the Sabres a 2-1 victory.

Hedberg was back in net for the start of the home stand against the Ducks. It was a tight affair, as both Kesler and Boyes scored, but a good third period gave the Ducks a 4-2 win. The next game was against the Dallas Stars. It was a high-scoring game, led by Vancouver's power play, which scored 3 times in the 5-3 win.

Thanks for stopping by! Canucks record: 12-9-4

Henry's Universe Mode #231: WrestleMania II (Part 3)

Finn Balor vs The Undertaker Finn Balor felt the full force of the strikes of The Undertaker in the early going, eating rights and lefts to the skull. The Undertaker continued to lay into Balor, dumping him to the floor with a clothesline, then following up with his vintage suicide dive! After a brief skirmish on the outside, the Deadman got destructive, grabbing the Demon's throat and driving him through the announce table with a chokeslam! It was here that The Undertaker allowed Finn Balor a chance to just give up and concede defeat, but Balor wasn't having any of it. Finn got his second wind, countering an attempted chokeslam to connect with a reverse DDT, then the shotgun dropkick in the corner. Up top, Finn connected with Coup de Grace! 1........................2.......................but it's going to take a lot more to put The Undertaker away, especially at WrestleMania. Balor laid in some shots, busting The Undertaker open, but that proved to be a huge mistake. ...

American Dad "Stompe Le Monde" Review

You know, I once tried to make it in musical theater. If only I had watched this episode beforehand, I would've known I needed a leather jacket to truly make it. Alas, those dreams are for a more pretentious soul than mine. "Stompe Le Monde" is a wild episode of American Dad, one that starts with Stan's previously unknown uncle dying and ends with wanton destruction of many Sonic Drive-Ins. It's a crazy a journey as it sounds, one that left me just struggling to keep up. The family to use the new inheritance to travel to New York City, but Stan quickly blows the money on the rights to Stomp, which is apparently a real musical. The whole town of Langley is very excited to see the new show, but Stan has no idea what he's doing, never once hiring a director or even rehearsing. Why this only came up literally minutes before opening is anyone's guess. The Smith Family is forced to go on the run, and are attacked by many ferocious coyotes off-screen. In ye...

American Dad "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" Review

American Dad as a show is definitely not afraid to get a little freaky, and nothing is more evident than the existence of Rogu, Roger's tumor that became a character himself in "Persona Assistant". Rogu primarily works as a character because he stays in the background, but this week, he takes a starring role in one of the weirdest American Dad episodes to date. "The Hand that Rocks the Rogu" has little in the way of traditional plot structure, and can only barely be considered an episode at all. It's more a collection of funny and bizarre skits, with a few running plot points that end up forming some sort of resolution. Steve wants to become a babysitter, but Francine says he's not ready, so he needs to prove himself to her. He does that by taking care of Rogu, as Roger is off for a night of NSFW activities. Steve is instructed not to let Rogu have candy or screentime, but violates both rules almost immediately. It turns out that Rogu multiplies w...
