Thanks AJ!   I generally don't sleep well but this was an all night deal.  Going to hit the hay soon....likely won't last through Jeopardy.

You hang in there too...we're almost there....Friiiidaaaay!

1:24 to 1:39

deb to the rescue. who better to make things right. the florence nightingale of business. 

He's been here for 2 years now and I still find him a breath of fresh air.  I'm going to be very unhappy if he's not back next year.

Well, I had a good run.

Nah, apparently half the world has access to instagram/facebook and half the world doesn't. im the half that doesn't have service. 

some weird glitch or ddoss happening apparently

Y2K

Flying to Kauai on Sunday. I'm glad westjet has grounded the planes in question, the recent news has been unsettling

@luckylager  Flying to Kauai on the 26th !

We'll still be there! 

I truly hope that The Canucks can find that again for their Hockey night in Canada Broadcasts.

That familiar voice, that voice that doesn't demean or ridicule.That voice that you know is alway for our team.Like John & John on Sportsnet,those familiar voices.

Having anouncers come in from different teams is like having the enemy calling your home games.

I really hate Jim H.'s voice now because he is such a Toronto Homey and he called that lose in 2011,that one hurt.

We need a Cup here for the people of B.C. and Canada,that would be outstanding.

I love hearing Robson talk. I only wish I would've been around to hear him call games. I hope he puts out some  10 hour video series of hockey stories or something one day. I'd snatch that up in a second. Such a great story teller.

don taylor and him are the best 2 people to listen to for sports. John and John are to homer for me but are still quality.

I better hear you cheering!

Last game attended was 2002! Been a while...

Hope they give you plenty to cheer, Deb(howz'bout 3 pts for the kid?:^)

@debluvscanucks

The thing is, a head coach pretty much is concerned with the here and now (given that their shelf life often is subject to the whim's of the GM or wins/losses).  A GM can afford to have a longer term perspective.

At the time, Roger Neilson felt the series was slipping away.  He used that "white towel" to 'rally the troops'; and in that sense, he succeeded as the Canucks proceeded to win the next three games in the series & advance to the Finals.  Remember to that he was technically just the 'interm coach' as he was only given the head coach reins because Harry Neale decided to pay a visit in the stands with some new friends in Quebec.

Not surrendering,more like asking for FAIR treatment by the officials.

REFEREES AND UMPIRES CAN CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF GAMES ,JUST LOOK AT THAT RECENT NO CALL ON THE LA RAMS PLAYER AGAINST NEW ORLEANS,

Blatantly making a bad call sent the Rams to the Superbowl.

That is what i mean by a "FAIR"opportunity to win.

A distinction should also be made that you can have REALLY AWFUL officiating but not really effecting the outcome of a series.  For example that referring travesty in the Canucks-Sharks series a while back.  Clearly the Sharks were the better team but they sure as heck didn't need all the help they received from the zebras.  This is where that man of zero integrity Kelly Sutherland made his mark.

I like the new rules, that have greatly increased the excitement.  I miss the sounds of the old corn brooms though.  

proof men do know how to hold a broom 

Would not want to fight deb over the last slice of pizza.

psh imagine living out of province and getting blackout

love your passion tho

Add insult to injury...just had a second invite to the game.  AAAHHHHH

Who the !@#$ doesn't vaccinate their kids??  Unbelievable. Do parents think it was fake news or something?

To some of these parents, vaccinations cause autism, totally unfounded.

@MJDDawg  Just look at the various celebrities that are anti-vaxers.  Suddenly they’re medical experts...

I was listening to NKOTB a few weeks ago at work, and others laughed at it.  Maybe they don't take me for someone who listens to them, and most of the time I talk about 2 Hockey teams, and today it was how I don't care for Calgary or the Bruins, and is Ottawa closer to Montreal or is  Boston closer to Montreal?  I think Ottawa is.  

You know you’re freakin’ old when you have to look up (google) what “youngsters” have said (I didn’t know what NKOTB stood for).

Did Don finally take a swing at Ron?

Now that would be worth seeing!!

Bought a new scarf last night....without realizing what today was.  Perfect, all set!

my brother was a season ticket holder since canucks came into the league. he had heart surgery in 1999. he planned to go to their traing camp as he always had. the doctor told him not to go. he didn’t listen and ended up have a fatal massive heart attack. he died doing what he loved. it hurt losing him but he went out on his own terms. i hope i can too.

My Dad's at that point right now...has been through so much and really has the "I've lived a good life" loop on in response to what may need to happen.  Not sure he's willing to endure any more and I've accepted that same thing...his terms.  It's painful and I'm trying to nudge him gently, but I'm not the one having to go through it all.

I hope you can too, Joe.  Your brother obviously lived life the way he wanted to and went out the same way.  Much to be respected in that. But you'd better be sticking around here for awhile.  xo

@Green Building really depends:

Oilers - Owner willing to attempt to ice an NHL team, management too stupid to accomplish task.  Wasting prime years of generational talent due to sheer incompetence.

Senators - Owner too cheap to ice competitive team and doesn't care about winning.  Management doing decent job despite working for a worthless bum.

I'd love to see what kind of nightmare Chia could accomplish working for Melnyk.

Right? It's such a toss up. At least the Sens made the finals, but their collapse has been meteoric whereas, despite enviable draft position, the Oil have just flat-out stunk.

your welcome, big casino. thanks for the friendship. your the godmother of cdc. cheers lass.

I am so grateful to call you "friend".  You're the respected elder of our tribe here and we're blessed to have you.

I love me some wholesome CDC. 

sometimes my wife and I go for a cheapie dinner out and split a plate of meatballs there  

They have greasy spring rolls too, also love those.

i hope your able to land the piano in the house. i guess if you can sweep it across the room you’ll be okay.  please send us pictures.

This week is going to go by very slow.

Do curlers still drink pints, and smoke stogies while playing?  

I hear this is the new curling champ. 

I will now muffle my comment! 

Three attractive girls who are sports enthusiasts!  Now, what guy likes girls like that?  How long is the line?  If I was thirty years younger!  I’m sorry For being so forward Deb, but you ex must be a friggin’ moron.  You like sports, you’re fun, and you work hard.  Some men are just STUPID!  Again, my apologies.  

With the amount of games in February I think that Green is going to have to get creative or the injuries are going to pile up.

Like @Alflivessaid, all teams get a 9 day break around the all-star break.  Some have it starting now, I believe, while other teams, like the Canucks, have the bulk of the rest after the all-star game. 

I hate long breaks but the guys probably need it, if we've got any lingering injuries here's hoping we're able to heal up for February.

watched this a while ago .

I'm just going to leave this here.

Bo is a true farm boy.  He's got the farm boy strength too.  He is great now, but if he added mean, he'd be close to the best in the league.  30 goals and 70 points and mean.  

I feel conflicted. It's almost too nice to stay inside. Watched both games yesterday, but fixed the leaky shower fixture between games so felt productive. Am watching this blowout Pats game right now but think I'm going to go for a nice walk before game 2 starts. Then I can enjoy the Canucks game later without feeling guilty. 

Was hoping for a more interesting opening game

yes, we need him for the playoff run. 

Ugh I dont get to see another game until later this month. I guess that's how it goes :/ 

Kinda hoping he's back for when I'm going to the game in Edmonton, but I'm feeling it's probably a 90% no for that day.

Rosanne not available?

So he didn't show??  There was a violin player instead?
