Alright, last night was a disaster on so many levels. Everyone pretty much flat out sucked. Aside from Daniel Sedin continuing to score, and Rick Rypien making Mike Millbury proud by taking it to the stands, everyone pretty much sucked. Things that really stood out to me as being really really shitty:
Roberto Luongo - He had the speed of a drunk 48 year old Kirk McLean, minus the stick handling.
Ryan Kesler: Is still pouting over losing gold last year and not being named captain? I have no idea what is wrong with him. He is no longer being paid a small amount that would allow us to laugh this off. Wake the f*** up Ryan.
Our entire 4th line: This fourth line is a pile of shit. It was always a pile of shit. It will continue to be a pile of shit. It will never stop being a pile of shit. Why AV insisted upon putting together a 'tough' 4th line that has ZERO noticeable offensive skill and continues to give them more than 3 minutes in a game, is beyond me. They don't score, they don't hit very well, hell, they don't even grind really well. Tanner Glass, you peaked in high school buddy, you are the pre-season king of hitting scared, young 19 year old boys, but when it comes to playing against the men, you look lost and ineffective out there I hate hate hate this line.
Torres: Torres is either really really on or really really off. He either comes out killing people, stapling them to the boards and driving to the net, or he is invisible, looking like Naslund circa 2007.
Bieksa: I honestly assume the "meow mix" song is just running through his head all game.
Anyways, enough negativity about last night, let's get into negativity about tonight. Things to be scared of include:
Luongo playing Chicago. I don't want to see them make Luongo cry. Again.
Marty Turco: This guy has historically killed us (Except in the playoffs, bitch! Turcooooo, you suck!), so I am not too happy to see his stick handling added to the back end of the Chicago Blackhawks. Add it up and it means we will not have a useful forcheck all night.
AV: If Schaefer gets 2nd line duty again and Tambellini doesn't draw into the lineup, I might have to punch myself in the face several times to try and stop the rage from building to dangerous levels. It's bad enough that they decided Morrison wasn't good enough to be our 4th line center (But Rypien, Bolduc, and Perrault, that's the answer. Yep. Sure. Sigh.) , but then we have to watch on a nightly basis as we see AV do anything in his power to stop any sort of skill from getting into the lineup. I get it AV, you were a no talent hack in your playing days. Stop relating to the no talent hack, and stop forcing them into the lineup. Desbiens is truly truly awful. Bieksa probably shouldn't be our number two d-man. Stop forcing your so called grit into the lineup. Tamby played really well the game before, he even got an assist. Give him a few more games.
Parent: I like the fact we got a free former 1st rounder project for SOB, but it scares me that we have to watch that experiment unfold before our eyes at the NHL level. Would be nice to see Parent hit the Moose and get some real playing time, instead of using him for spot duty at the NHL level. He did not look comfortable last game.
Positives about tonights game? Daniel Sedin and Henrik Sedin. Plus we are one day closer to Burrows coming back. That's about it.
Prediction: Hawks 4, Canucks 2.
