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

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 ...
