"The hockey world is watching, Vancouver. What are you going to do with this? ...sign your name to the biggest choke job in the history of frozen water and sticks? Make no mistake, that's the magnitude of this ridiculous hair ball you're trying not to cough up."

I can still remember the first time the Vancouver Canucks choked... or was it the second, no just a minute, it was definitely the third... well, I don't really know, but they did and I vowed I would never cheer for them again. Well, now that they are in the finals for the Stanley Cup and have a real chance to bring the cup home for Canada... my vow is put to the test... NOT. I don't care if Canada hasn't won for 100 years, I am not cheering for the Canucks... Because they own CHOKE!

I switched to watching the UFC because of Vancouver... frankly I think it's fixed. With a history of shady politics in Vancouver, I don't see why their hockey should be any different.... with more to be made in online betting. I don't know, I may be grasping at straws, or I am just bitter because I "got mine" for switching from Edmonton Oilers to Vancouver back in the day. I was happy then... win or loose... I was an Oilers fan!
WE brought Gretzky to the world... what has the Canucks brought? ...CHOKE!

All I can say is... BOSTON ISN'T going to kick anyone's butt...
Vancouver Canucks are going to... CHOKE!

Well, at least Canada has GSP!

"We got lucky -- (a) good bounce," Lapierre said. "It was challenging for us. Right spot at the right time." ...After showing the Canucks celebrating along the left wing boards, CBC cut away to its cameras outside the building focused on the close to 100,000 people going bonkers in the streets of Vancouver. The city closed down the streets near the CBC building in downtown and invited fans to come watch the game on a big screen.
As you could imagine, they were dancing in the streets when Lapierre put the puck off in off of Thomas, snapping the goalie's shutout streak at 110 minutes and 42 seconds."

11 months ago: All this hype might have me watching (with one eye) the game Monday night, I am not saying that I am going to enjoy it... just kind of... watch it.
11 months ago: Sorry, I didn't have the "will" to watch the game tonight... just as well Canucks folded to a 5-2 loss against the Bruins... no surprise !:]
11 months ago: Roberto Luongo:
"...he is also a brooder. He invites self-doubt and doubters, and when he self-destructs, he's spectacular. In three road games in this series, he is 0-3 with a .773 save percentage and has been pulled twice."
