i'm so pumped! ;D

the guys will be wearing their vintage (stick) jerseys...

something interesting: i hear they are bringing back the authentic skate logo jerseys ('94 cup run ones)... but thinking of changing the colours from orangish to blue/green. source: team1040

*also, the 3rd jersey... the redish ones are out!

I personally like the Orca ones, I dono what the fuss is all about... everyone says they dont represent Vancouver or the Canucks... it's Native art, that's awesome! sheeesh

But i do like the stick (vintage) jerseys... very simple and unique. I plan on getting a blue Henrik Sedin one (33, my fav current canuck!)

What do you guys think about the jerseys?

[Harman]

bring back 1994 vintage jerseys from the cup run with no changes.. without a doubt my favourite jerseys ever..

[Inder]

pally was wearing that one at games night....i wanted to steal it from her

[Pally]

SSA Games Night, I rocked the old school 94 Jersey, so I am obviously a "yes" to those. But changing the colour would not go well with me. Why change the colour? Old school means keeping it the same!!! And blue and green would just ruin the whole "look". Why blue and green? Those are our colours now, back then it was all about the yellow and red.

I like the Orca ones too I didn't like the red jersey though, I think the white ones looked the best. I hated the "two tone" effect on the red ones at one point as well, it just...too much.

and the Vintage jersey? Love them. I agree, simple and unique.

33? Really? Kind of disappointed and surprised with that one Sharon. Even though "Hank" is the man, and so is "Dan"...What about Linden? Original Canuck is definately THE Man.


Game on tomorrow, can't wait.

The vintage jerseys for the Canucks are easiliy one of the best in pro sports. I hope they actually scrap the Orca and stick with the old school ones.
The new jerseys that some teams have now just plain suck (ie. Buffalo and the ugly 3rd jersey for the Preds)

[Birinder]

don't say that the orca is a great logo too!! we're lucky that we have so many wonderful designs to choose from!...if only merchandise was cheaper

--->> Well, I dono how I would feel seeing the skate jersey on these guys again... i mean, I want more than anything for Linden to be wearing that jersey and hoisting the Stanley Cup, but it would kill me to see him in that jersey without the 'C'... then again, he is our "eternal captain."

Nazzy is a good captain, but no one was/will ever be as great a captain as Linden. Every time I see him on the ice, I smile. He does something to me everytime, and I don't even know what it is. He is Mr.Canuck, and will always have a special place in my heart.

And Pally, don't be disappointed, I love Linden. He's right up there with Henny - let's just say they're tied for first place.

I think that Naslund would probably pull a "Sakic" moment and let Linden hoist up that Cup before himself. Right?

He should do that when it happens later on this year


Puck drop at 7:00 (In ~3 and half hours)






Puck dropping soon, its 7:01 now. Let's watch!

First Period Summary:

SJ - 2
Van - 1

PowerPlays:
SJ - 0/1
Van 0/1

Estimated time in opposing end

SJ - 8 Min
Van - 12

Van seemed to be the better team, except the few times that SJ got into the other end and it would seem like they were gonna score every time...


Second Period Summary:

SJ - 4
Van - 3

Penalties:

I lost track -_- (not getting this info off a site or anything, trying to remember it )

Time in Opposing End:

This period was about the same, in bunches though. No back and forth; first SJ comes for 2-4 mins, then Van comes back for 2-4.


Eh, didn't look good when Nucks were down 2, however the guy takes a stupid penalty and theyll have a 5-3 to start the third . Highlight real goal by the Sedins. Loving em in my pool

Van - 1/6 (allowed shorthanded goal when the 5 on 3 ended)

Opposing end:

Didn't pay attention



Not a great game, at all. I thought Luongo was bad today. Obviously, the first 4 games he was almost perfect, you can't ask for much more, and he can't do that EVERY night. I just think he didn't even have to be as good the previous games to save some of those goals, I thought he was horrible. And the breakaways, my god. I don't know what happens he just freezes or something, he gets his pants taken off. I am NOT looking forward to the shootouts



Maybe im being too harsh, but in my honest opinion I thought this wasn't a good night for him.

you're right, kh... it wasn't a good game for luongo at all.

by playing "catch up" the entire game, you can't win. And that's exactly what happened tonight.

But Luongo and those breakaways.... damn man, I am getting kinda scared about shootouts too now....

All that hype and excitement for a loss. T'is ok, there's always Monday (vs.Edmonton - PayPerView/Team1040). I think they will be a lot better on Monday... most cuz first game jitters will be gone.

And yes, we got ---->>

8-)Oh, and PROPS to our Captain for his 300th goal!

The funny story behind this was that I was helping my mommy make food and I was in such a hurry... I'm like MOM! I'M GONNA MISS THE BEGINNING WHEN THEY ALL COME IN.. blah blah blah... I WANNA SEE LUONGO'S NEW PADS!....blah blah blah

so anyway, I go and watch all of that... my mom calls me back (after I had watched SJ score 2 min into the game).... I was thinking, I can't leave.. i KNOW someone is going to score... (I was telling my Mama Ji yesterday that Nazzy will score his 300th on home ice)... and I go to my mom, I come back with my food and WHATYA KNOW! I MISSED THE BLOODY GOAL!!!!

arghhh, i was kinda pissed ... mostly cuz replays don't always do the trick. it's gotta be right at that moment... and then the crowd goes nuts...

and umm... that's my story. ;D

But PROPS again to NAZZY for tying Linden in all-time Canuck goals.

.... 8-)Linden still kicks ass

[Gurinder]

The game wasnt that great, I just didnt enjoy it that much ... probably because I was tired. I began watching that new show on NBC, 1 vs 100, it was too slow and kind of stupid.

Certainly not Luongo's best performance but you cant blame him for some of the goals.
