Should be a rumble. Can't wait to see the Nucks take it to the lames in CBC. Hoping Bo is back and goes into beast mode, crashing the net and bashing pukes.

 

GCG

Yes, and throws a big hit on Tanev… our team doesn’t hit him nearly as much as they should. He used to get hit big to make a play at least once every game while playing for us.

I've told this story before, but here's the condensed version of why HDIC will always be so special to me.

 

Mom was in the final stretch of terminal brain cancer, in palliative.  Mostly disconnected from reality by that point, but had glimpses of her here and there.  Very brief and very emotional.

 

I snuck in one day and her curtains were drawn and it was dark and quiet in her room...I pulled down the little hospital TV and turned it on, muted, to watch HDIC.   

 

Mom stirred.

 

Canucks were playing the Leafs and I was being mindful not to fully wake her, but all of a sudden she sat up in her bed, squinted to see the TV and said "is that Trevor Linden"?  (It was).  

 

"Yes Mom, it is" tears rolling down my cheeks.  It would be one of our last moments really "together".  I will never forget it...hockey/sports was our thing.

 

She laid back down and closed her eyes to sleep.  All was right in her world, if even just for a moment.

 

(Why do I love Trevor Linden/my team so much?  So many reasons, but she is the driving force in that)

 

There's that damn tear rolling down my cheek again.  Miss you Mom.

 

EDIT:  This was that amazing game summary from the last day Mom and I would hockey together:

https://www.espn.com/nhl/recap/_/gameId/270113021

I love it.

 

Mine isn't nearly as emotional but I'll share it.

 

It was a nice spring day in May and low and behold I was hung over. I was walking the sea wall with the wife. Who comes are the corner?

 

Now remember I am one big scary dude and I am hung over. He looks over and we make eye contact. He knows right away I know who he is. I start shaking the wife's hand "hey look who it is!".

 

He could see how excited I was and he literally started giggling. He even put his hand over his mouth trying to hide his laughter. But what am I supposed to do? I'm a grown man I'm not going to intrupt his day.

 

The wife says "hey, how are you doing?"....he responded "good thanks and you" he could barley contain his laughter, and he continued on his way. 

 

He knew I didn't want to bother him and was thankful, but he also knew he was my favorite player.

So far so good, haven’t heard from Ticketmaster that we can’t go so my son and I will be at the game cheering on the team. Go Canucks go!

Best check to make sure, before you get there; it can be crushing, especially for kids, to find out "No Go" at the gate.

HATS OFF TO MILLER

J.T. Miller recorded his second career hat trick on Jan. 27 vs WPG, matching career-highs in goals (3) and points (4). He became just the third American player in team history to register a hat trick, joining Ryan Kesler (3x) and teammate Brock Boeser (3x).

SPENCE-TACULAR

Registering his first NHL win during a 5-1 win on Jan. 27 at WPG, Spencer Martin became the 10th goaltender in Canucks history to earn at least a point in each of his first three starts with the club (1-0-2) and the first since Ryan Miller in 2014.15 (3-0-0).

FRONT OFFICE REFRESH

Vancouver Canucks President, Hockey Operations Jim Rutherford announced Wednesday that Patrik Allvin has been named the 12th General Manager in franchise history. Since Rutherford joined the club on Dec. 9, he has also filled two Assistant General Manager positions (Derek Clancey & Émilie Castonguay) and also added to the team’s Analytics department (Rachel Doerrie).

WALL-MARTIN

Achieving career-highs in shots faced (50) and saves (47) on Jan. 25 vs EDM, Spencer Martin recorded the most saves by a Canucks goaltender with five or fewer games of NHL experience, besting Glen Hanlon’s 43-save performance on Oct. 18/78 vs MNS. It also marked the 25th occasion in regular season franchise history that a goaltender faced 50 or more shots, with Martin’s save percentage (.940) ranking 8th among that group.

A GRAND ACCOMPLISHMENT

Head Coach Bruce Boudreau coached his 1,000th NHL game (577-306-117) on Jan. 23 vs STL, becoming the 29th coach in NHL history and sixth active Head Coach (Trotz, Ruff, D. Sutter, Laviolette, Tippett) to reach the milestone. Only one head coach in NHL history (Scotty Bowman, 598 wins) had more wins than Boudreau’s 577 at the 1,000 game mark.

PASSER PETEY

Assisting on Tanner Pearson’s opening goal on Jan. 23 vs STL, Elias Pettersson recorded his 100th career assist in his 206th game, marking the sixth- fewest games needed to reach the milestone by a Canucks skater who debuted with the team, trailing teammate Quinn Hughes (151), Pavel Bure (187), Thomas Gradin (187), Stan Smyl (191), and Patrik Sundstrom (195).

HERO HUGHES

On Jan. 21 vs FLA, Quinn Hughes collected his 30th assist for the third consecutive season, in just his 39th game. This is the second fewest games required by a defenceman to reach 30 assists in a season in Canucks franchise history, behind only Paul Reinhart (33) in 1989.90.

GO CANUCKS GO!

GO BO(?) GO!!

GO PODZ GO!!!  Podz w/4pts tonight: 2g+2a

Good call. I emailed the flames office this week and they said if you don’t hear by Thursday you’re good to go. I haven’t heard and I’ve been checking my Ticketmaster account and nothing so far. My kid is 17 so he won’t be crushed, just a bit disappointed. We’ve been to games before. It’s the 2 hour drive to Calgary that’s a killer if we don’t get in.
