Issue #48 – Passing Wind In Chicago
“I’m sure on this road trip you’ll hear everybody going ‘It’ll be nice to get home,’” Wilson said. “Those are just clichés you kind of hear if your team’s not winning, it’s nice to get on the road. When you’re on the road and you’re not winning, it’s nice to get home. You’ve got to remember, a lot of guys just speak in clichés, that’s what they’re trained to do. So I wouldn’t take anything more out of it than is already there.”
One game at a time, another reporter quipped.
“Yeah, one game at a time, the sun always shines,” Wilson said. “Blah, blah, blah.” -Ron Wilson the Leafs and cliches
There are only 15-20 really good games played in a season. All the rest (win, lose or draw) are throwaways.
It was Ray Ferraro who said that even if a guy scores 20 goals a season that still leaves 62 games where he’s scoring doodly-squat. The same goes for Vancouver. As I’ve been saying in the past, we need 20 goal scorers and we need wins like we had on Wednesday night.
While most games are going to be low-scoring, tight-checking affairs, every 3 or 4 games you need a match-up that murders. Chicago was obviously ripe for a spanking. Those snot nosed punks got what was coming and ten fold. Willie Mitchel’s hit on Jonathon Toews is going down as a top tenner and changed the way Vancouver will be viewed from here on in.
You can try that fancy pirouette figure skating move all you want bitch, I will smash yer fuckin face.
Vancouver is not a blue-collar town, but the team is built around an ethic of hard work gets results.
It doesn’t hurt that Luongo suddenly realized how much he actually get’s paid.
So let’s face it. The Canucks managed to sneak into the largest arena in the NHL and pass gas unnoticed for all it’s 20,000 inhabitants to consume.
It was the type of gas that a stealworker or a longshoreman would make in the lunch room right before he leaves to go back to work, leaving the others in the room to gasp and heave and wonder what exactly just happened. Why it stinks like shit.
The happy-go-lucky, hard-working, gassy, longshoreman with a bit of an edge — that is who this Canucks team really represents.
So glad they finally found their identity.
