....and nothing dims these stars.
okay, can someone please explain this rory fitzpatrick thing to me? why are we voting for him? is this a challenge to see if we can get the worst player in the nhl into the all star game?
Ehhh....Rory is a pretty deserving choice. Its more like exposing the flaw that is the entire NHL All Stars voting system, and it kind of exploded into the "cool thing" to do.
The "GO CANES!!!!" I usually put in my posts no longer works it magic. Like Cam Ward with his new facemask, I too must shed the vestiges of what once was.
Thus begins the easier leg of the roadtrip, although if Vancouver's D is anything like we saw the last two games, we're in hot water. Although that makes sense, as I suppose all the ice is going on Brindy's crotch... (not funny??)
Canucks lack goal scoring, if your team plays average and scores just about 2 goals, you should have the easy win.
unfortunitely with the Canes lately that's easier said then done. The team either shows up and explodes for 5 goals in a game or they don't and get shut out. They lack the consistency and killer instinct that they had throughout last season at this point.
Well, Luongo's definitely playing like Luongo so far tonight. He ALWAYS seemed to have our number whenever we played the Panthers, I see that's carying over to Vancouver.
Well, I am about to go out and get ripped, but the canes are again looking terrible and i just cannot watch. good luck to you all, and root for erik cole to score....or anyone for that matter. 1 goal in the last 7 periods is not tood good.
