Vancouver Canucks Regular Season: Games 9-15

So, we start out with bad news: Jason Garrison is out for a week or two, meaning Brett Lebda will now play. My new idea is to sim 3 games, and then play the fourth. Then I'll sim an extra 3 games. That will make the season faster, and I'll be able to play more seasons in the future.

Game 9 was a return home against the Lightning. In the first period, both Derek Roy and Daniel Sedin scored for the Canucks. Pouliot got one for the Lightning, but was answered by Christopher Higgins. Burrows added two more in the third for a 5-1 win.

Game 10 was a home redemption game against the Red Wings. David Booth got the first tally of the game in the first period for the lead. Hamhuis scored on the power play, but was answered by Datsyuk and Brunner, and the game was tied and went into overtime. Derek Roy scored in the shootout, after overtime went scoreless, and the Canucks won back-to-back games.

The homestand continued against the Avs, as Jason Garrison returned to active duty and Johan Hedberg took the start. Hunwick and Parenteau scored in the second, and were answered by one from Edler. However, Hejduk got another for the Avs entering the third. The Canucks came storming back, as Edler, Roy, and Daniel Sedin all scored for the comeback victory.

The last game of the home stand, and the one I played, was against the Montreal Canadiens. Subban scored on the powerplay to make it a 1-0 Canadiens lead in the second. Pacioretty scored another one to make it 2-0. Carey Price held it there for a 31-shot shutout.

Bad news came before our next game, as Alexander Burrows will be out for almost two months, meaning that Zack Kassian will make his return to the team. We head to Anaheim to take on the Ducks in Game 13. Cogliano, Lydman, and Zibanejad all scored for Anaheim, and were answered by Henrik Sedin and Chris Higgins to make it 3-2. Getzlaf scored early in the third to put it away, and the final score was 4-2.

The second of the California back-to-back was against the Kings in LA. Hansen and Kesler got on the board in the second to make it 2-0. Daniel Sedin's goal in the third made it 3-0, and Luongo posted a 27-shot shutout.

The final game is against the Avs in Colorado. Parenteau got a powerplay marker early in the second, but was answered by a powerplay goal from Jason Garrison. However, Parenteau scored again in the third, and Duchene added the empty-netter for the win.

Thanks for dropping by! The schedule will change again next time, so stay tuned! Canucks record: 7-7-1

Curious Crab

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. ...

Lost and Found: The Legacy of Bray Wyatt

On August 24th, 2023, the professional wrestling world experienced yet another devastating heartbreak, as Windham Rotunda, aka Bray Wyatt, passed away at the age of 36. Wyatt has a number of accolades to his name after over a decade spent in the WWE, having won the namesake championship once, in addition to competing at multiple WrestleManias. That's the cliffnotes version, the driest form of exposition to summarize one of the most captivating careers we as wrestling fans have ever witnessed. But Bray's legacy and impact, brief as it was, is truly one of a kind.  "Potential" was the buzzword for Bray from the very beginning, and even at his earliest stages as a performer, it was impossible to ignore. Bray's early days spent tagging with his younger brother, the future Bo Dallas, in the soon-to-be defunct Florida Championship Wrestling passed without notice, but the two third-generation progenies found the spotlight quickly. The grassroots of NXT formed under their...
