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

Latest Update on new puppy

As you may well know from my mom's posts, there is a handsome puppy in the house. His name is Rascal, which appropriately fits him. Before Tuesday, he'd never had much problem with the crate, something I found interesting. He'd also never experienced anxiety issues when people came and left. Then yesterday, my dad and I were standing in the driveway organizing things for a trip to Goodwill. All of a sudden, Rascal freaked out. Some history behind the newest member of our family. Rascal was a stray in Hollister, when CARE, a rescue organization, found him. At this time Rascal was estimated to be about 2 months old, the age of a puppy when you first get them. He went to another family, who had him for quite a while, around 5 months. Then, without explanation, this family moved to Ohio, surrendering Rascal. CARE once again had him and his crazy antics for about a month. Rascal's name was changed to Boots in his time with CARE, but he wouldn't answer to that name. He ...

South Park "Not Funny" Review

Good night, amateur trolls that trolled a troll and trolled themselves into a troll, brothers. With one episode to go in the season, South Park has remained consistently funny and on-point with their humor, though I worry about how their going to wrap all of this up. There are a good six to seven ongoing storylines right now, and only one episode to finish off a few of them. There was no clear focus this week, but I'll start where the episode ended, with Gerald's troll-based storyline. It's pretty satisfying to see the Troll Hunter's massive revelation; that he is, in fact, just another troll, bent on world destruction. Even Gerald couldn't find the humor in his master plan, as the Troll Hunter is truly in a league of his own. With the world on the brink of war, the trolling has truly begun, as the Troll Hunter went to work on his own employees and the other trolls, though why they had to be naked for that is beyond me. Kyle is always a sucker for saving the ...
