Looks like Sedins will start on different lines. That hasn't happened in awhile.

Roberto Luongo on Cody Hodgson: "I just remember his big head." (He has joking)



/kinda

Leafs - "We Can't Stop"
Canucks - "Blurred Lines"

/Okay, I'll stop

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Mike Santorelli is the canucks #2 centre

Jason Botchford ‏@botchford 30m An imp thing to remember for those who think Van shouldn't have traded Hodgson. He didn't want to be here. Then again, neither did Luongo

I wish Gilbert Perreault and Dale Tallon were playing tonight.

Some other players from that draft (first round)

3. Reggie Leach
4. Rick MacLeish
8. Darryl Sittler
14. Dan Maloney

How times have changed, the first 67 players taken in the draft were Canadian, player 68 was Tom Mellor drafted by the Wings an American. Holy shit.

Makes me feel old looking at those rosters.

Edit: Matty was John Arbour any relation to Al?

I have Andre Boudrais' autograph somewhere (Canucks had a pre-season 2 day mini-camp in Medicine Hat in the early 70s)

Kassian is getting shredded on vancouver radio ... someone just called him "dumb as a post" (which is probably fair) lol

I drove Rick Martins car one time.

Damn Boss, that has me beat six ways to Sunday (lol)

 

[jstewismybastardson]

would be amazing if the sabres put a "thanks for everything" message on the big screen for Kassian lol

 

[IPostedWhat]

Bad time for the Nucks to be playing the Sabres considering they are on a winning streak.

You stole it?

 

[jstewismybastardson]

i thought "rick martins car" was a euphemism for a local buffalo lady of the night

 

[BOSSMANPC]

No My bro in law had a cleaning contract for an auto dealership and I worked evenings for him and had to move the cars out at night then back in when we were done. I got his autograph when he picked it up the next day with Rene Robert. Rico was a class act, Then a few years later we use to hang out at the same place and have drinks and shoot the shit. Real down to earth guy.

"joffrey lupul" is a euphemism for "we're staying in tonight"

Well it's game time, good luck to the Canucks and their fans.
