Mark Lee called Petrell "the feisty Finn" 4 times on Saturday night fuck that guy needs better vocab

I hate to say it, but I can't wait for CBC to lose Hockey Night in Canada - TSN can snatch up Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson, but that's it.

I hate to say it, but I can't wait for CBC to lose Hockey Night in Canada - TSN can snatch up Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson, but that's it.

its was funny that CBC went with 2 new on air people last weekend, splitting up the star studded Weeks/Lee duo and pairing each with Rick Ball and Daryl Reaugh

the 2 newbs (relative to CBC) stole the show from the 2 rubes

 

[puckhead]

some people have far too much time.

 

[dash]

It worked out well for these guys...

/We're contenders now (about 1:20 in)

 

[puckhead]

Oiler d-men dropping like flies.

Ryan Whitney gets slewfooted by his own teammate Potter (gone to the room)
then Sutton blocks a Salo slapshot awkwardly. he's back though.

Booth hasn't looked out of place on that line so far.
Weise with a nice power-forward move (a little shy in the finish department)

good road period I guess, but we should do much better than that against the Oilers.

This observer felt the Oilers had a slight edge in play in the first period and that the Canucks looked a little flat.

 

[dash]

The Oil open up the scoring early in the 2nd period - Eberle from a nice feed courtesy of Taylor Hall.

1-0 Edmonton

 

[dash]

Eager is such a stupid player - You just get the lead and he takes a dumb boarding penalty.

 

[puckhead]

Hall beat Hodgson off the boards on that play.
and the rest of the Nucks were busy playing Leafs defence
nice pass, nice shot.

then good old Eager takes a dumb penalty right afterwards
brutal powerplay so far though.

 

[Automattic]

I feel right at home. That looked like a Wings powerplay...

 

[dash]

Oh my goodness, the Canucks look leaky tonight.

2-0 Oil (Horcoff) with three Canucks standing around doing nothing.

 

[puckhead]

Dear Luongo,

don't stop pucks behind the net anymore.
but stop them in front of the net




I guess if you are going to have a shitty game, its best to get it all out of your system at once.
fuck

 

[dash]

Just like that, it's 3-0 Oil (Hall)

Wow.

 

[Automattic]

wow

 

[dash]

We have a goaltending change...

 

[Automattic]

And to make matters worse, the 'Bulin wall is looking pretty damn sober.

 

[dash]

Edler just crushed Hall with a beauty of an open ice hit...Totally clean.
