Canuck Killers

Less then 24 hours after posting up that the Canucks are destined to win the Stanley Cup, they blow a two goal lead to lose 4-2. I'm not going to go make up excuses about why we lost, and about how the Avalanche had a bunch of garbage goals (which they did), rather I'm going to rant about the Avalanche as a team.

How do you have a whole team of Canuck killers? Do they draft based on who can score on the Canucks? Honestly now, how is it possible that Sakic, Hejduk, Stastny (now), and Forsberg (I'd probably put Liles in here too) are all Canuck killers? Sure when we had goalies like Dan Cloutier anyone could be a Canuck killer, but we have Luongo now, and the same players are still murdering us.

The goals that they're getting aren't pretty ones either, they're not tic-tac toe highlight reel plays. The Avalanche try the same move over and over again, and we keep letting them.

Here the Avalanche will be represented by L because there's an L in Avalanche, and the Canucks will be represented by W because the Avalanche are Losers.

Coming in 2 on 2:
1) Player with puck goes wide then cuts in the middle
2) Player without puck goes to the net to screen
3) Player with puck shoots
4) Profit

When they cut across like that lay him out, unless it's Sakic then maybe just love tap him or something. But if it's Forsberg I want to see Taylorr Pyatt force feed his shoulder down his throat for being stupid enough to cut in the middle.

Now let's beat the Oilers, kill the flames, and pray that either Nashville loses one, or Calgary loses two.
