I think the canuck plan is to win tonight ... but most importantly let Sid talk to the Canucks nutritionist, psychologist, sleep doctors and then let him sleep in hyperbaric chambers so he can dress saturday night and drop a 5 spot on kipper

Do we get the pleasure* of listening to Mark Lee and his obtuse angles tonight?

Studies before hockey?!? Shame on you.

I'm actually starting to warm up to Kevin Weekes, he struggled out of the gate, but I think that was more nerves than anything else, he's really improved in my opinion.

PJ Stock, well that guy is hopeless...

GTFO BITCH

I'M DOIN' SCIENCE​

Yeah, this is one of those things...

On second thought, I suppose it was a touch tasteless on my part to use a pic of a Penguin getting his face bashed in on a Pens GNT for my purposes, but oh well. It was the first pic to spring to mind.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

the NW division & Western conference championship banners are already hanging from the rafters

no pregame "celebration" ... lets celebrate when (if) we get the big one

364th sellout at the GaRog.
Canucks record in season openers: 21-15-4. Which is a surprising because we were a shitty team for a long, long time.

Nah, Cooke having his face beat in is always appropriate.

this is interesting:

The Penguins aren't as big as they were a year ago. Steve McIntyre (6'5, 250) won't play tonight, Brooks Orpik (6'2, 219) is questionable with an abdominal injury, Mike Rupp (6'5, 230) is in New York and Eric Godard (6'4, 227) is in Dallas.

Steve McIntyre and Eric Godard fall under the category of addition by subtraction...
