One-A-Day: Vancouver Canucks

Vancouver Canucks


The Canucks have improved in our view since they eliminated the maroon from their jersey colors like two years ago. Holy jeebus they were nasty. But not as bad as the black, yellow and red ones from the 80s.


Even Vinny Lecavalier couldn’t make that jersey work

But the Canucks also took a step back when they traded a bunch of useless players for none other than Roberto Luongo. He brought his family-values and pad-padding to Canuckland. Oh, how the fans appreciate him.


Bobby Louuuuuuuuu is watching youuuuuuuuuuu

There is no way that his pads are even legal. We still giggle over the controversy that was started by Marty Turco about the flap on the knees. We knew Luongo was a cheater despite being praised as ‘the best goaltender in the NHL’.

Yeah, that’s why Marty ‘Fatso’ Brodeur wins every damn Vezina as if he bribes the voters.

We really don’t have much to say since it is a Sunday. And we do a lot on Sundays, like party. But with a new GM in Mike Gillis and the loss of players like Naslund and Morrison, it should be an entertaining year of watching one-goal games night after night.

Hotness Level (on a scale from 1 to Gary) – 3

We gave the Canucks a point for each player that we like. They are Steve Bernier (cause he’s a fatty), Kevin Bieksa (because he can kick our ass) and Ryan Kesler (because he’s just cute like that). Alex Edler almost made it four but he has moments when he’s kinda scary. We think it’s because he’s Swedish.

Fuck, that game was fucking awesome. On the scoreboard we got owned, but the last minute of the game made it allll worth it. WHO SAYS WE DON'T HAVE TEAM TOUGHNESS. HUH!?!?! YOU WANNA FIGHT ABOUT IT?
