Last year we had two big scoring lines, the Nazy/Bert/Moro line and the Sedins/Carter. Now Nazzy is with the Sedins and they're playing great, if unluckily, but we're left with one line. Kessler and others are starting to pick it up, but it will take time.We're just not the team we were though, it's a different team.<BR/><BR/>As for the cup, Paul deserved the mvp but I can't knock Dave. He was hungry. He wanted that cup, he played with intensity and fire.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1164059719576189122006-11-20T16:55:00.000-05:002006-11-20T16:55:00.000-05:00Well one consolation, Jeff, is that in the last fe...Well one consolation, Jeff, is that in the last few years, the Canucks have taken off like rockets in the fall, only to fizzle badly after the All-star break. So maybe, one hopes, they are taking time to gel as a new team and not peak so soon...?<BR/><BR/>I can't figure out why the scoring is down, though, unless the coach has something to do with it. But if he's concentrating on defence, then...<BR/><BR/>But, I always hated those post game phone-in shows, where the Canucks would be, say 7-1 and the listeners were already wondering "What's wrong with the Canucks"!!! Errrgh....<BR/><BR/>As for yesterday's triumph, one of today's armchairs claimed it's a crummy game any time there were 6 field goals. 'Course, to me, any game we win is a good one, but what do real football fans think?<BR/><BR/>Someone asked how come Dave D. got the MVP instead of Paul McCallum... Any thoughts?Penelope Personshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06568490631814894124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1164029057848017092006-11-20T08:24:00.000-05:002006-11-20T08:24:00.000-05:00The Flames were lucky to win that game against the...The Flames were lucky to win that game against the Canucks last weekend, the Canucks outplayed them badly.<BR/><BR/>And take heart, Penny, all is not that bad in Canuckland. They've been playing well, they just haven't been able to finish. They're struggling, yes, but it's fixable. The Sedins/Naslund line in particular has been on fire.<BR/><BR/>Bert had to go, there's no doubt about that. We couldn't afford Jovo, it was economics. We miss his scoring, but Willie Mitchell is a solid D-man and deffence hasn't been our problem. Neither has goal, Roberto has played well. Everyone lets in a bad one now and again but he needs support; he's always given us a chance to win.<BR/><BR/>We need scoring, and as I said we've been getting chances. They'll start going in soon.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14971310821484459106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19402125.post-1164000255846214582006-11-20T00:24:00.000-05:002006-11-20T00:24:00.000-05:00Did the Canucks do the right thing, firing Marc Cr...Did the Canucks do the right thing, firing Marc Crawford and letting Jovo and whoever else go? I guess it was high time for Todd to get out of town, but it seems to me we may have paid too high a price for Luongo.<BR/><BR/>I was shocked to hear some armchairs claiming the problem with the Canucks is - they aren't <EM>fast</EM> enough!!

It's bad karma, that's what it is. It's also just plain dumb IMHO.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thank goodness for Paul McCallum - could he be the next Loooo-ie? Yee-HAW!!!
