Hockey Hockey Hockey Hockey.


Let's discuss it. I know most people here who watch hockey are people who live within walking distance from me and are Canucks fans. Though if memory serves, we have a St Louis fan, and a couple of Flyers fans.




Anyways, the number of Canucks injuries is staggering!

I think Salo and Rypien are back but that still leaves Demitra, Wellwood, Daniel Sedin, Johnson, Hansen, and freakin Luongo.

They'll survive.

I'm more upset Kovalchuck is out for a long time. He was doing amazing. 9 goals in 8 games. And then there's Ovechkin with 22 points in 12 games.

Good times.


Also, Hank is in 7th (maybe higher, I forget) in league scoring.

Edit: Also, also - I just love this Pavel Bure hit from 94 on Shane Churla. Yes, it's not really a hit - more like a blatend elbow, but sweet jesus everything Bure did was beautiful.

(If you want to skip to the elbow, it's around 38 seconds.)

test the rookies early, clear the path for an injury less end and playoff stretch. Wish I could watch it. radio kinda sucks.

Canucks will have the division title this year.

Played 19 seasons as D.
Won 2 Stanley Cups with the Bruins in the late 50's.
Played for the Leafs, Bruins, Wings, Penguins, North Stars.
Played from 51-70.
The mighty mighty Tim Horton referred to him as "The toughest defenceman to beat one-on-one."
He was known for being one of the hardest bodycheckers in the league.
Coached the Blues from 75-78.
Inducted into Hall of Fame in 86.

The relation is pretty weak and not immediate. He's my Grandpa's cousin. I have no idea what that would make it. He's a tiny fella. I didn't meet him, but I saw him at a family reunion.
