  1. no but you can lose it....be too far out to get back in contention
  2. and here I thought that he always wanted to be a ......lumberjack and he's okay.........
  3. the absolute best was we sent one kid to go to the 'basement' stock room to get something ( there was no basement ) when they couldn't find it, I sent someone else to get it ( they were in on it ) 2 min later they returned with the item needed.
  4. on the pk...our box is too small, allowing them to move the puck a whole lot faster than we EVER do. our PP is done in slo-mo
  5. in the restaurant, we used to send the 'new guy' to go get some 'ice mix' or a 'can of steam' to top up the steamer
  6. that's because they know that the canucks make back-ups look great
  7. I'm hopeful, but I really worry about the next game. Chicago is winless, which makes them prime candidates to be a hard team to beat. It will probably be 5-1 , but could go either way.
  8. the only way Green gets fired this season is if we are far from the playoff picture by, let's say, Jan. if we are 10 games back, wholesale changes happen. most likely suits gone, but not Benning as he has 1 firing to do to give take the pressure off of his chair.
  9. we now have a speedy team, but they don't coach them to play speedy. bring back the last coach that coached that way.... bring back the Crow
  10. one of the other things I loved about the Sedins was their unpredictability. while cycling, you never knew when or which direction the puck would spurt out. This team now is WAY too predictable. We have 2 plays on the pp...1st choice is Petey's one timer...2nd is down low bump pass to Bo. any junior b team could defend those. we have creative players, let them create. don't tie them to specific plays. it handcuffs them and the other team can 'read their minds'
  11. am I worried about this team? no I've been a Canucklehead since the EARLY 70's and am numb to their inconsistent play. I love it when they win, but am never surprised when they shoot their own feet and lose. ( I hate it, but I'm not surprised) the term Canuck-luck was coined to describe them and their lack of puck luck. ( and ref's calls too ) If and when they ACTUALLY win the cup, I'll eat my hat. It probably won't happen until Bettman leaves the league. (my opinion)
  12. this team makes me think that we'd beat Tampa 8-0 and then lose to the worst team by the same score 2 days later.
  13. I have to pvr it too and start the game after I pick up my wife from work. probably start it about 30 min late.
  14. so, he has a hang-nail and will require surgery to miss most of the season?
  15. Seattle ought to have a similar travel distance from now on. but it would be interesting to compare B2B's with their schedule.
  16. he should just shut up already.... too much yakking while the play is going on.
