Back on track

Alright, time to get back to my blogging ways.

So a lot has happened since I stopped posting about the Canucks. There is a lot less anger nowadays. I have had a somewhat pleasant experience watching the Canucks. I no longer have the urge throw the remote control at the TV as often as I used to. It has gotten....dare I say it....a bit boring to be a Canucks fan these days. Having no place to misdirect my rage towards (Didn't get that raise at work today? That is Aaron Rome's fault! God damnit Rome, if you didn't give away that puck in the slot that raise would have been mine!) means I often have to find other things to get angry about. I'm looking at you Safeway. No longer stocking Raspberry Gingerale? Jerks.

With that being said, if anyone is able to find things to criticize about a seemingly uncriticizable thing, it would be me, so I will still be able to find things to question/ponder/shake accusing fingers at. So I will be back to my usual posting ways over the next while, and if I can't find anything to get angry about the Canucks at, well, I can always resort to photoshop pictures and making up fake articles.

A quick recap of what has happened since I last posted, though, to get us all up to speed:

-Remember that joke we made about how Daniel was going to try and get his two trophies this year to match Henrik? We all laughed at how witty we were. "They're twins, they HAVE to do it, tee hee!" before we ran away to have tea and crumpets. Well don't look yet but....

-Ryan Kesler has become an interview bomber. For those unaware, Kesler has decided to make cameos in many players interviews as of late, creating endless amounts of joy for those of us on the internets. Case in point:

If Kesler wasn't already quickly becoming my favorite player due to his on ice play, now his off ice play has really ramped it up to a whole new level. I'd like to think him not having the C allows him to do this kind of stunt. That way I feel better about not having him have the C. Not that I think Henrik is a bad captain, but there is something about cheering on your captain who you know would take a shot to the nuts to keep the puck out of the net.

-Remember Desbiens? Either do I. Well my new whipping boy is Aaron Rome. Get ready for months of hatred sent his way! Why does he get power play time? Why???

-We have ridicilous depth now. Lapierre and Higgins on our 4th line? Bieksa and Edler coming back into the lineup soon? What in the hell.......Best team we've ever had.

-Cory Schneider is the real deal. Not in the Joe Rogan "Houston Alexander is the real deal!" kind of way, but in the "Oh shit, please trade him to the East so he never comes back to bite us in the ass" kind of way. Almost in the "How much does Luongo make? And Schneider makes.....hrmm....." kind of way.....

-Kesler is still awesome.

- Raymond. Raymond Raymond Raymond. I think a 5th grader has a harder shot than you. He drives me nuts but actually played really good last night, so I will reserve my rant on him for a later time. I am an opportunist.

-Luongo is having his best year to date with us, and inching into vezina nomination territory.

-I still hate Tanner Glass' mullett

-I despise a certain blog that has become famous because well, damnit, they got to live my dream through hard work and dedication. Damn you.

- Cory Schneider does the best impression of Jannik Hansen ever. That alone should bump up his contract a million or two

- Chris Tanev is playing amazing. If you had told me he would be an integral part of our season at the start of this NHL campaign I would have laughed at you, kicked you in the stomach, spat on your face, screamed at you to 'NEVER LIE TO ME. NEVER DO THAT. I HATE YOU." then run away crying.

- I still can't figure out if Charlie Sheen is in on his own joke or not. The fact remains, however, he would be a better player than Aaron Rome.

OK, that's it for the first update back, look forward to more updates as this season of joy rolls on!
