Markus Naslund has rejuvenated himself playing alongside the Sedin twins, and it makes sense to keep him where he is producing. But what about Mo? The guy has been playing well but he needs a skilled winger to put the puck in the net for him. I think someone like Glen Murray would make the Canucks a team to fear.
It seems that the league finally got a decision right. In a season that has seen some bizarre non-calls to the stars the league made one Saturday night that was spot on. The penalty shot attempt by Crosby was a debatable call, but it was the right call. Why not err on the side of excitement? I am a big fan of the penalty shot. Even watching the game on TV the buzz from the crowd was awe-inspiring. Oh, the missed calls? Gaborik's elbow to Kesler that was not a suspension. We need to protect the players.<a href="http://cdn.nhl.com/canucks/images/upload/2007/12/dec0807_canuckvspenguin08_b.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://cdn.nhl.com/canucks/images/upload/2007/12/dec0807_canuckvspenguin08_t.jpg" align="right" border="0" hspace="4" vspace="1"></a>
Speaking of Saturday night, how good is Luongo? Luongo is to hockey what Christmas is to holidays. No good? Luongo is to hockey what the Ferrari is to cars. Think you can do better? Lets see the replies.
I for one am super impressed with the Hughson/Simpson combo on HNIC. Hughson is as exciting as they come (on TV, I still like Shorty and Tom for the radio) and Simpson is a breathe of fresh air after years of Greg Millen. Well done CBC. Now, lets stop forcing the Leafs down our throat and lets see more Luongo. In HD!

What an ovation for a Penalty Shootout. When he scored I yelled so loud I woke up the neighbour's dog, and it's deaf!
Speaking of Christmas, I will be doing a blogger's attempt at a broadcasters attempt to be funny and ironic all at the same time in a couple of weeks with a canucks wishlist. Wish me luck!
My blog is to blogging what Luongo is to hockey? I wish I was that good……
