LET’S BE CLEAR…
TALK IS NO LONGER CHEAP…
LET’S START WITH ROBERTO LUONGO…
ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT…THE CANUCKS BLEW A ONE GOAL LEAD WITH 15 SECOND LEFT IN THE THIRD PERIOD AND LOST THE GAME IN A SHOOTOUT…
IN THE POST GAME INTERVIEWS…ROBERTO LUONGO WENT OFF ON A RANT…WHICH INCLUDED THIS GEM…
“IT’S UNACCEPTABLE…IT’S INEXCUSABLE…THAT SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN…WE JUST PISSED AWAY 2 POINTS”…
IT’S GOLD JERRY!!!…GOLD!!!
THE NEXT DAY LUONGO REFUSED TO BACK DOWN FROM HIS COMMENTS…
“I DON’T THROW MY TEAMMATES UNDER THE BUS”…
“I TAKE LOSING SERIOUSLY AND I DON’T ENJOY IT…I WANT TO BE THE BEST AND WHEN I LOSE I AM NOT A HAPPY CAMPER.”
MORE GOLD…
SINCE THEN A NUMBER OF THE CANUCKS HAVE PUBLICLY STATED HOW THEY NOT ONLY AGREE WITH LUONGO’S STATEMENTS BUT HOW MUCH THEY SUPPORT HIS RIGHT TO SAY THEM…
AS A RESULT…THIS MORNING LUONGO WAS ON THE FRONT PAGE OF BOTH SPORTS SECTIONS OF THE VANCOUVER PROVINCE AND THE VANCOUVER SUN…
ONE HEADLINE READ…”MAN WHO HATES TO LOSE”
THE OTHER READ…”WORDS OF WAR”…
NOW HOW DO YOU PUT A PRICE TAG ON THAT???
THEN THERE’S ALEX BURROWS…
THE NHL HAS NOW FINED BURROWS UNDISCLOSED AMOUNT FOR HIS COMMENTS TO AARON DOWNEY BEFORE THE DETROIT GAME ON SATURDAY…
DOWNY STARTED THE INCIDENT BY THREATENING BURROWING DURING THE WARM UP…
BURROWS RESPONED BY ASKING DOWNEY HOW HIS POTATO FARM WAS DOING…
TURNS OUT…DOWNEY REALLY DOES HAVE A POTATO FARM…
YESTERDAY BURROWS ADDED THIS LITTLE GEM…”HE PROBABLY LIKES THE FRENCH FRIES THE MOST BECAUSE HE’S A LITTLE CHUBBY”…
DESPITE THE NHL FINE BURROWS INSISTS…HE IS NOT GOING TO STOP ALL THE TRASH TALK…
FOR THOSE KEEPING SCORE…
TALK DOES HAVE ITS OWN CURRENCY IN THIS BUSINESS…
NO MATTER WHO’S DOING THE TALKING…
ITS NET VALUE IS ALWAYS DIRECTLY PERPORTIONAL TO WHAT THAT PERSON HAS WON…

“WE JUST PISSED AWAY TWO POINTS”…
THE WORDS OF ROBERTO LUONGO AFTER THE CANUCKS LOST 3-2 TO COLORADO IN A SHOOTOUT…
REMEMBER THOSE WORDS BECAUSE IF THE CANUCKS MISS THE PLAYOFFS…THAT’LL BE THEIR EPITATH…
LASTNIGHT THE CANUCKS HAD THOSE 2 POINTS IN THE BAG…
ALEX BURROWS SCORED WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE WINNING GOAL WITH A MINUTE AND 45 SECONDS LEFT IN THE THIRD PERIOD…
THEY NEEDED A VIDEO REPLAY TO GET IT…BUT THEY GOT IT…
THE CANUCKS SHOULD HAVE SKATED OFF THE ICE WITH A 4 POINT LEAD IN THE STANDINGS…AND 2 GAMES IN HAND…
INSTEAD COLORADO IS NOW JUST ONE POINT BACK…
THE CANUCKS ALSO CAUGHT A HUGE BREAK LASTNIGHT…
BUFFALO UPSET NASHVILLE 8-4…
AS A RESULT THE PREDATORS ARE NOW TIED WITH THE AVALANCHE FOR 8TH IN THE WEST…
TOMORROW NIGHT COLUMBUS IS IN TOWN…
THE BLUE JACKETS ARE 6 POINTS BACK…
ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO BURY ANOTHER TEAM THAT IS TRYING TO CATCH THE CANUCKS FOR A PLAYOFF SPOT…
IT’S TIME TO REMIND THE CANUCKS…EVERY SPRING THE GOLF COURSE IS FULL OF HOCKEY TEAMS THAT FAILED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES…
NEXT MONTH THE CANUCKS WILL PLAY 15 GAMES IN 29 DAYS…
10 OF THOSE 15 ARE ON THE ROAD…AND THEY HAVE THREE BACK TO BACK GAMES…ALL OF WHICH INVOLVE TRAVEL FOR THE SECOND GAME…
IN OTHER WORDS…THINGS ARE NOT ABOUT TO GET ANY EASIER…
THE GOOD NEWS IS THE CANUCKS ARE ABOUT TO GET BACK BOTH BRENDAN MORRISON AND AARON MILLER…
THEY’LL NEED THEM BECAUSE MORE AND MORE IT LOOKS AS IF THE CANUCKS SEASON IS GOING TO COME DOWN TO THE LAST 5 GAMES OF THE SEASON…
IN THAT STRETCH THEY PLAY CALGARY AND MINNESOTA TWICE AND COLORADO ONCE…
IF THE CANUCKS FIND A WAY TO MISS THE PLAYOFFS BY JUST A POINT OR TWO…THE WORDS OF LUONGO WILL ECHO THROUGH OUT GM PLACE…
“WE JUST PISSED AWAY TWO POINTS”…
THE WORDS OF ROBERTO LUONGO AFTER THE CANUCKS LOST 3-2 TO COLORADO IN A SHOOTOUT…

Peter Forsberg
CAN PETER FORSBERG SAVE THE COLORADO AVALANCHE???
IT REALLY DEPENDS OF WHICH PETER FORSBERG SHOWS UP…
THE PETER FORSBERG WHO WAS TRADED TO NASHVILLE A YEAR AGO WAS HELD TOGETHER WITH DUCT TAPE…
IN ALL FORSBERG MISSED 25 GAMES LAST SEASON WITH A LONG LIST OF INJURIES…
HE AVERAGED LESS THAN A POINT PER GAME IN BOTH THE REGULAR SEASON AND THE PLAYOFFS…
THAT’S A LONG WAY FROM THE PLAYER WHO SCORED 116 POINTS AND LED THE AVALANCHE TO A STANLEY CUP IN 1996…
THAT WAS ALSO THE FIRST AND ONLY TIME HE PLAYED A FULL 82 GAME SEASON…
HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE SAYS HE’S ONLY 34 YEARS OLD….
WHAT IT DOESN’T SAY IS HOW MANY MILES HIS BODY HAS LOGGED IN THOSE 34 YEARS…
IN THE 2001 PLAYOFFS HE SUFFERED A RUPTURED SPLEEN…AND HAD IT REMOVED…
LATER THAT SUMMER HE UNDER WENT SURGERY TO HIS ANKLE…
BEFORE THE NEXT SEASON FORSBERG ANNOUNCED HE WOULD SIT OUT FOR A YEAR…
THE FOLLOWING SPRING HE RETURNED FOR THE PLAYOFFS AND PRODUCED 27 POINTS IN 20 GAMES…
NOW YOU CAN ARGUE…THAT WAS DONE 6 YEARS AGO WHEN FORSBERG WAS ONLY 28…
PERHAPS A BETTER EXAMPLE IS TEEMU SELANNE…
AFTER THE 2003-2004 SEASON IT LOOKED AS IF HIS CAREER WAS OVER…
SELANNE COLLECTED 16 GOALS AND 32 POINTS…
THE NHL LOCKOUT WAS A BLESSING IN DISGUISE…
HE RETURNED A YEAR LATER AT THE AGE OF 35…
IN HIS FIRST YEAR WITH ANAHEIM SELANNE DELIVERED 40 GOALS AND 90 POINTS…
LAST YEAR HE PRODUCED 48 GOALS AND 94 POINTS…AND HELPED THE DUCKS WIN A STANLEY CUP…
THIS SEASON SELANNE SAT OUT THE FIRST 50 GAMES AND HAS COME BACK WITH 6 GOALS AND 11 POINTS IN HIS FIRST 10 GAMES…
SO…CAN PETER FORSBERG SAVE THE COLORADO AVALANCHE???
IF HE’S HEALTHY…NO QUESTION…
IT REALLY DEPENDS OF WHICH PETER FORSBERG SHOWS UP…
THE PETER FORSBERG WHO WAS TRADED TO NASHVILLE A YEAR AGO WAS HELD TOGETHER WITH DUCT TAPE…

SO…CAN PETER FORSBERG SAVE THE COLORADO AVALANCHE???
IF HE’S HEALTHY…NO QUESTION…

Deadline Day!
WHEN CANUCK FANS WOKE UP THIS MORNING…A MATT FOR MATT TRADE WAS NOT EXACTLY WHAT THEY HAD IN MIND…
YET…THAT’S WHAT THEY GOT…
MATT COOKE TO WASHINGTON FOR MATT PETTINGER…
IT IS NO REAL SURPRISE COOKE WAS MOVED…
HE WILL BECOME AN UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT THIS SUMMER…AND THE CANUCKS HAD NOT MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO RE-SIGN HIM…
WHAT SHOULD CONCERN VANCOUVER FANS ARE THE TRADES MADE BY THE OTHER TEAMS IN THE WEST…
TO START WITH…DALLAS LANDED BRAD RICHARDS FROM TAMPA BAY…
SAN JOSE PULLED OFF A DEAL TO GET BRIAN CAMPBELL OUT OF BUFFALO…
DETROIT AQUIRED BRAD STUART FROM L.A…
AND COLORADO SENT A FIRST ROUND DRAFT TO COLUMBUS FOR ADAM FOOTE…
4 OF THE BIG 5 TRADES TODAY SAW TEAMS IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE ADDING IMPACT PLAYERS…
SO WHERE DOES THAT LEAVE THE CANUCKS???
TO START WITH…MAKING THE PLAYOFFS JUST GOT A LITTLE HARDER…
THE AVALANCHE ARE NOT GOING AWAY…
ALONG WITH FOOTE…THEY ALSO ADDED DEFENCEMAN RUSLAN SALEI…
YESTERDAY THE AV’S SIGNED PETER FORSBERG…WHO WILL JOIN THE TEAM TOMORROW HERE IN VANCOUVER…
FOR THE RECORD FORSBERG IS NOT EXPECTED TO PLAY…
IT’S THE FIRST OF 4 MEETINGS BETWEEN THESE TWO TEAMS…
THAT SERIES COULD VERY WELL DECIDE WHICH OF THESE TWO TEAMS GOES TO THE DANCE…
AS FOR GOING DEEP INTO THE PLAYOFFS…WELL…LET’S BE HONEST …THAT JUST GOT A WHOLE LOT HARDER…
DALLAS…SAN JOSE AND DETROIT ARE ALL BETTER…THAN THEY WERE JUST 24 HOURS AGO…
ANAHEIM MADE A COUPLE OF MINOR MOVES…BUT THE DUCKS DID NOT HAVE TO SWING FOR THE FENCES…
IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS THEY’VE ADDED BOTH SCOTT NIEDERMAYER AND TEEMU SELANNE…
ADD IT UP…AND THE SECOND GUESSING IN THIS CITY HAS ALREADY BEGUN…
GENERAL MANAGER DAVE NONIS ADMITTS HE HAD A NUMBER OF OFFERS ON THE TABLE…BUT FOR WHATEVER REASON HE WAS UNABLE TO PULL OFF A MAJOR DEAL…
AS A RESULT…THE FATE OF THE SEASON IS NOW IN THE HANDS OF THE PLAYERS…
BUT DO NOT KID YOURSELF…THE PRESSURE IS STILL VERY MUCH ON NONIS…
YET…THAT’S WHAT THEY GOT…
MATT COOKE TO WASHINGTON FOR MATT PETTINGER…
IT IS NO REAL SURPRISE COOKE WAS MOVED…
HE WILL BECOME AN UNRESTRICTED FREE AGENT THIS SUMMER…AND THE CANUCKS HAD NOT MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO RE-SIGN HIM…

Trade Deadline
IN ALL HONESTY…WE SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED AT THE LACK OF TRADES IN THE NHL…
LAST YEAR A NUMBER OF GENERAL MANAGERS BLEW THEIR BRAINS OUT TRYING TO HIT A HOME RUN AT THE DEADLINE…
EACH WAS CONVINCED THEIR TEAM WAS A LOT BETTER THAN IT REALLY WAS…
THAT’S THE ILLUSION CREATED BY THE SHOOTOUT AND AN UNBALANCED SCHEDULE…
ON THE SURFACE THE NHL APPEARS TO HAVE REACHED PARITY…
DON’T BELIEVE IT…
THIS SEASON IS LIKE ANY SEASON…
THERE ARE THE USUAL 3 OR 4 TEAMS THAT HAVE A LIGITIMATE SHOT AT WINNING THE CUP…
AND ANOTHER 2 OR 3 OTHERS THAT NEED ONE OR TWO PIECES TO BECOME A CONTENDER…
THOSE ARE THE TEAMS THAT WILL BE ACTIVE OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS…
THE GOOD NEWS IS…THE CANUCKS ARE ONE OF THEM…
THE TWO PLAYERS WHICH MAKE THE MOST SENSE ARE…BRAD RICHARDS IN TAMPA BAY…AND OLI JOKINEN IN FLORIDA…
RICHARDS IS THE BETTER FIT…BUT HE COMES WITH A CONTRACT THAT WILL PAY HIM $7.8 MILLION FOR THE NEXT 3 SEASONS…
JOKINEN HAS TWO YEARS LEFT AT $5.25 MILLION…HOWEVER JOKINEN HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN NHL PLAYOFF GAME…
AS A RESULT MOST OF THE ATTENTION IS ON RICHARDS…WHO HAS WON BOTH A CUP AND THE CONN SMYTHE TROPHY…
WORD HAS IT HE HAS GIVEN THE LIGHTNING A LIST OF 3 TEAMS HE’D BE WILLING TO LIFT HIS NO-TRADE CLAUSE FOR…
DALLAS…COLUMBUS…CHICAGO AND VANCOUVER…
WHERE HE LANDS COULD VERY WELL DETERMINE WHICH TEAM TAKES HOME THE STANLEY CUP…
THE STARS ALREADY OWN THE SECOND BEST RECORD IN THE NHL…
AND THEY WILL HAVE DEFENCEMAN SERGEI ZUBOV BACK IN TIME FOR THE PLAYOFFS…
SHOULD RICHARDS JOIN THE CANUCKS IT WOULD GIVE THEM THE OFFENSIVE JOLT THE TEAM HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR ALL SEASON…
COMBINE THAT WITH THE RETURN OF…BRENDAN MORRISON AND AARON MILLER…AND THE CANUCKS COULD MATCH UP WITH ANY TEAM IN THE WEST…
NO QUESTION WE ARE NOT GOING TO SEE THE NUMBER OF TRADES WE DID LAST YEAR…
BUT THE ONES THAT ARE MADE…WILL BE MADE BY CONTENDERS…AND NOT BY PRETENDERS…

Olympic "Volunteers"
THE PRICE OF THE 2010 WINTER OLYMPICS HAS GONE UP…AGAIN…
GET THIS…
THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT…USING YOUR TAX DOLLARS…HAS OFFERED TO PAY CIVIL SERVANTS HALF THEIR WAGES IF THEY VOLUNTEER FOR THE GAMES…
THIS OFFER WAS E-MAILED OUT YESTERDAY TO 30 THOUSAND GOVERNMENT WORKERS…AND IS GOOD FOR 15 DAYS DURING THE GAMES…
EARLIER THIS WEEK OLYMPIC ORGANIZERS LAUNCHED A CAMPAIGN TO ATTRACT 25 THOUSAND VOLUNTEERS…
YESTERDAY WE WERE TOLD THAT 10 THOUSAND HAD ALREADY SIGNED UP…
SO WHAT’S THE PROBLEM???
AT NO TIME HAS ANYONE SUGGESTED ATTRACTING VOLUNTEERS IS GOING TO BE A PROBLEM…
ALREADY THE CANADIAN TAXPAYER FEDERATION HAS LABLED THE OFFER…”RIDICULOUS”…
WE SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED…
IN 2002 THE BID COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN JACK POOLE LABLED A MAJOR UPGRADE TO THE SEA TO SKY HIWAY AS A…QUOTE…”DEAL BREAKER”…
ANYBODY WHO WAS AT LILLEHAMMER…NAGANO…OR TORINO KNOWS THAT SIMPLY WAS NOT TRUE…
NEVERTHELESS…TAXPAYERS WERE SUDDENLY ON THE HOOK FOR $600 MILLION DOLLARS…
THE PRICE FOR THE SUPER HIWAY TO WHISTLER HAS NOW CLIMBED TO NEARLY $800 MILLION…AND IT COULD HIT ONE BILLION BEFORE IT’S OVER…
THE RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM WAS SUPPOSED TO COST ONE BILLION…IT’S NOW AT 2 BILLION…
THE ORIGINAL BUDGET FOR THE CONVENTION CENTER WAS $500 MILLION…IT’S NOW AT $900 MILLION AND CLIMBING…
THE SECURITY BUDGET IS STILL SET AT $175 MILLION…
NOBODY…INCLUDING THE RCMP BELIEVES THAT NUMBER IS EVEN CLOSE…
HOWEVER THIS LATEST STUNT BY VICTORIA TO PAY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES TO VOLUNTEER IS SIMPY TOO MUCH…
IT SMACKS OF ARROGANCE…AND ELITISM…
FAR TOO OFTEN THE OLYMPICS ARE TREATED BY POLITICIANS AS A FREE PASS TO FURTHER AN ENDLESS LIST OF HIDDEN AGENDAS…
IF THE ORGANIZERS CAN NOT ATTRACT 25 THOUSAND REAL VOLUNTEERS…
THEN WHAT THE HELL ARE WE DOING HOSTING THE GAMES???
KEEP IN MIND…IT TOOK QUEBEC TAX PAYERS 30 YEARS TO PAY OFF OLYMPIC STADIUM…
MORE AND MORE IT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE IN STORE FOR OUR OWN OLYMPIC HANGOVER…

KEEP IN MIND…IT TOOK QUEBEC TAX PAYERS 30 YEARS TO PAY OFF OLYMPIC STADIUM…
MORE AND MORE IT LOOKS LIKE WE’RE IN STORE FOR OUR OWN OLYMPIC HANGOVER…

Don Cherry
TONIGHT IN WINKLER MANITOBA THERE COULD BE A MAJOR INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT…
DON CHERRY HAS ARRIVED IN THAT TOWN FOR HOCKEY DAY IN CANADA…
HERE’S THE PROBLEM…
IN 1981 THE SOVIET UNION WON THE CANADA CUP BY THUMPING THIS COUNTRY 8-1…
THE SOVIETS ATTEMPTED TO STEAL THE TROPHY…
AS A RESULT THE WHOLE THING TURNED UGLY…
HERE’S THE TWIST…
IN THE 1870’S THE TOWN OF WINKLER WAS FOUNDED BY RUSSIAN MENNONITES…
A GROUP OF MANITOBA RESIDENTS COMMISSIONED A DUPLICATE TROPHY…HAD IN MINTED IN WINKLER…AND THEN PRESENTED TO THE SOVIET EMBASSY…
YOU SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING???
THIS IS THE SAME DON CHERRY WHO WENT POSTAL ON THE SOVIETS…WHEN THEY INSTIGATED A BRAWL DURING THE 1987 WORLD JUNIOR HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIPS…
OVER THE YEARS CHERRY HAS ACCUSED THE RUSSIAN PLAYERS OF HAVING NO HEART…
IN HIS WORDS…”THEY SUCK”…
HE ALSO LABLED THEM…A BUNCH OF QUITTERS”…LIARS AND CHEATS…
HE CALLED PAVEL BURE…”A LITTLE WEASEL”….
DARIUS KASPARAITIS…”YELLOW”…
AND SERGIE FEDEROV…”A DIVER”…
THAT’S JUST THE START…
THE PLAN IS TO HAVE CHERRY AND DON CHERRY HOST THE FIRST 3 HOURS OF THE SHOW…OUTSIDE…
THE FORCAST IS FOR MINUS 20…WITH A WIND CHILL…
IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN TO MANITOBA YOU KNOW…THERE IS ALWAYS A WIND CHILL…
HERE’S THE KICKER…
WINKLER MANITOBA IS A DRY TOWN…
AS IN…NO ALCOHOL…
LET’S DO THE MATH…
DON CHERRY…PLUS…RUSSIANS…PLUS COLD…PLUS WIND CHILL…MINUS ALCOHOL…
LET THE PARTY BEGIN…
