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

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...
