Vancouver Canucks: Regular Season Games 5-8

We open this installment by making a trade, sending the NY Islanders our 2014 1st round pick, Andrew Ebbett, and Maxim Lapierre, for Brad Boyes and Eric Boulton. Brad Boyes will become our 3rd line sniper, meaning we send down Nicklas Jensen, who has underperformed to start the year.

Game 5 is the second of a back-to-back, as we visit Columbus. It was a defensive battle for much of the game, as Nikita Nikitin recorded the first marker for the Blue Jackets with 8 minutes left in the game. Sergei Bobrovsky held it there, recording a 25-shot shutout.

Game 6 looked to be a tough match-up, as we traveled to Detroit to take on the Red Wings. Mikael Samuelsson scored early, just 10 minutes into the game to give the Red Wings the lead. Jonathan Ericsson would score as well with 3 minutes left in the first, as Luongo was pulled. Brendan Smith scored in the second to make it a 3-0 lead for the Red Wings. A Kesler turnover led to another Red Wings goal, as Henrik Zetterburg scored. Stephen Weiss scored on the power play to make it 5-0 in the third. The rest of the goals were not recorded here, but the final score was 8-0, as the Canucks were shutout again, and Canuck fans began to call for changes.

Game 7 was against the Penguins in Pittsburgh, as the schedule was getting any easier. James Neal scored a powerplay marker early in the first, and Canuck fans began to tear their hair out, as the Canucks' scoring woes continued. Brendan Morrow scored in the third, but was answered by Derek Roy late in the third, as the Canucks finally scored. Unfortunately, the Canucks could not come back as they lost 2-1.

Game 8 was yet another road game, as the Canucks traveled to Dallas to take on the Stars. Jamie Benn scored on a breakaway goal early in the second to get the lead. The rest of the game was unable to be recorded, but the Canucks lost 3-2.

Thanks for stopping by! I have a new idea for getting through the season, I'll implement next installment. Canucks record: 3-4-1

American Dad "Twinanigans" Review

It's been a while since the last Steve and Roger episode, and this week reminded me why that's such a classic American Dad pairing. This is a genuinely fun episode, filled with some great one liners and even a great callback to the show's past. "Twinanigans" centers around the heretofore unmentioned acting careers of Roger and Steve, who twinned it up as the Smith Brothers. I'm not going to question whether this backstory actually makes sense to the overall timeline; no one watches American Dad for continuity. Steve had to give up acting to attend kindergarten, and wants to give Roger a second chance at greatness. The two head to auditions, where Steve impresses and Roger blows it. It's here the episode kinda misfires, as it's never made abundantly clear why Roger struggles so much at acting. Is he just trying too hard, does he have some form of stage fright, does he not even know what acting is? This part of the story is just never explained, w...

Curious Crab

One Monday night my mom looked into my crabitat and found that a crab had climbed into one of my fake trees. It was in the top branch. I looked in later, and found that the crab had fallen out of the tree. I hope he is okay. What a day!

The Route of Life

dedicated to my hermits, who changed my life Ch 1 My Hermit crabs Hermit crabs are sometimes hard to take care of. Especially when you never had a hermit. Last Sunday afternoon I got 2 Hermit crabs. Their names are Crabbe and Goyle. I have talked with many sales people. The first Petco we went to (where we got the hermits and their things) seemed to have no idea on the subject. So we ended up going to Dolphin Pet Village. They were more experience at the subject. Now we have some of the things we will need. Last week, I went to a second Petco. There we got a cuttlebone, which is the bone of a fish. Now they look happy. Have a good day Hermit Crabs! Ch 2 Curious Crab The week before last week, my mom looked into my crabitat and found that one of my crabs had climbed one of my fake trees. It was on the top branch. Later, when I was changing to get ready for bed, the crab fell out of his branch. I hope he is okay. He’s definitely starting to look okay. How funny do you think that story is...
