Two things happened there. First, he mistook Jailbait's post -- "Clark can't was better" -- as a grammatical error instead of realizing that "Can't" is supposed to be a funny play on "Clark Kent", which Brett Clark is not.

To be fair, can't wasn't capitalized, and even if it was, it's an obscure joke.

Second, Unaffiliated attempted to make his own gobbledygook question to poke fun at Jailbait's alleged error.

But yeah, that post hurt my eyeballs.

OHHH that makes sense.


And that phrase is also an obscure joke, not my own creation. Look it up on Google

Fun game in many ways, but I really find it weird how fans rag on players out of habit more than anything. Liles had his first good game in quite a while, after being absolutely brutal defensively for a long streak where nobody mentioned all his mistakes and turnovers, yet Hunwick has his best game of the season and still gets crap. Shattenkirk was easily the worst Avalanche defenseman in this game, and that's despite Wilson coughing up the puck 10 feet in front of Andy.

Andy's had a very solid January so far with an average of .933 save percentage, and considering how many odd-man rushes and/or breakaways we're still giving up, that's quite amazing! Canucks could've easily had a couple of shorties last night, but we were bailed out. Hopefully he can keep it up for the rest of the season.

Also, even though Jones looks slower than before his injury, he's still got deceptive speed, and I love how he set up in front of Luongo tonight without letting anybody push him out of the way.


Last but not least - SEPH, how do you figure Hunwick dove on the penalties he drew? On one of the replays, his jersey was pulled hard enough to extend a foot and a half behind him. I don't think anybody stays on their skates when that happens unless they already have plenty of forward momentum.

Was that the holding call on Torres?

That was such a terrible call.

Very clumsy by Torres. If he doesn't grab the jersey of Hunwick, he probably gets away with it.

I think the first step is the main thing that's suffered since the injury, but the top speed is still up there.

What's made this season so successful for him is his strength on the puck. He guards it very well, even in high traffic areas and does so on a consistent basis. This is an improvement from years past.

Awesome screen cap, haha... clearly not a penalty at all. Hunwick's a diving little *****.

Shattenkirk was the worst player on the ice not names Torres.

I only got to see the last 5 minutes and ot. Looked like an exciting game. How did the lines work? Seems we did most of our damage on the pp.

No way, Hunwick is just so fast his jersey defies the laws of physics while trying to keep up with him.
