what a wacky 2 weeks!!!!

bloody heck!  with a new term at university, i've been so busy with homework!  okay, here's some catch-up.

to start, game log:
jan 9: flames beat canucks 3-2 in the shootout.
jan 11: nashville beats canucks 3-2
jan 13: minnesota beats canucks 5-2
jan 16: canucks whip penguins 6-2 :)
jan 20: canucks beat oilers 3-2 in overtime
jan 21: canucks beat dallas 4-3

team updates:
-after that horribly reffed game against nashville, burrows called out one of the refs, saying the ref stephane auger came after him.  huge scuffle, i'd rather not talk about it anymore.  the topic has infuriated me.  moving on....
-mitchell hurt his back against minnesota, and it only got worse after a hit from malkin against the penguins.  he's out.
-salo strained his groin last night against dallas.  he won't be playing against the hawks saturday.
-oberg was already sent back to manitoba after playing 6 minutes against the flames.  next likely call-up: nolan baumgartner.
-tomorrow's d-men against the hawks: edler, ehrhoff, o'brien, lukowich, rome and baumgartner.  yes, that is crinch-worthy.
-burrows has 13 goals in 9 games.  the entire calgary flames team has 14.  YEAH BURROWS! :P
-gillis was in montreal the other night.  he, his assistant gm, and two scouts were watching the habs-blues game.  meanwhile, a blues scout has been attending the moose games.  this is all obvious proof that a trade is brewing......
-conference standings.  if colorado loses tonight, canucks get the NW lead back.  meanwhile, calgary is choking like crazy :)  meanwhile, detroit is finally in the playoff picture, and it's still a wild race in the west.

here are some upcoming games.
jan 23: canucks host chicago.  chicago's hot this year, while canucks defence is suddenly injured.  uhoh.....
jan 25: canucks host buffalo.  sabres are incredibly hot this year, mainly because of superhot goalie ryan miller, who will represent usa at the olympics in 4 weeks.
jan 27: canucks host st. louis.  the blues are in the bottom of the west right now, and could possibly be making a trade with us soon....
jan 30: toronto hosts canucks.  yes, the dreaded olympic road trip begins in toronto.  luckily, the leafs are being their normal selves standings-wise, except for that they're no longer the worst in canada (edmonton's got that now) =O
feb 2: montreal hosts canucks.  gotta hate pay-per-views, eh?  especially when it's the one yearly game at the super-insane bell center.
feb 4: ottawa hosts canucks.  they recently found a decent goalie in mike brodeur.  yes, that's "mike", and he has no relation to jersey's infamous "martin".

i think that's good for now.  considering my post rate, i'll likely post again just after that ottawa game.  if it's before, that will just be lovelier.  once again, always check the sidelinks for current stuff, and find me on twitter or at nucks misconduct.
