Vancouver Canucks Midseason Report
01/15/2009
I became a Canuck fan in 1994, when I watched Trevor Linden take his team to the Stanley Cup finals. When I watched what Trevor & his team went through to get as far as they did, it was the most exciting thing I had ever seen. To watch that game 7 in Madison Square Garden & Trevor scoring both goals was incredible. I didn't know it at the time but heard later that Trevor Linden was playing with broken ribs & nose. We came short of ONE goal of winning the Stanley Cup. No other Canuck has taken us that far since. I'm still waiting for someone to step up and take us that far again, or better yet, match, or better yet finally achieve what Trevor Linden tried to do. Although Trevor never got the one thing he wanted to culminate his career, he was & is the best Canuck ever, in my humble opinion. He is worshipped here & he will forever be my hero.
Hello Everyone, take a look at this important article. It will most likely be my last on bleacher report. Feel free to pass it around. Thank you very much and God Bless!

Hey IceMan! I've tried for 3 days to leave a comment on ur page. Post a note or reply to ur article 'bout extending Roberto was not working, so I thought I would reply here cuz it worked. I will try & do it on ur page when I'm finished doing it here. I read ur article & all the replies & I agree with Samantha as to the reasons the Canucks should keep Roberto. Myself, I would rather go ahead WITH Roberto than without him. I'm doin' alright, how 'bout you?

Yea, Nucks, I was really mad at AV for doing the same thing in the Sharks game, where they sat on a one goal lead, we lost that one too. He did the same thing in the Hawks game! I'm not too impressed with Alain Vigneault!!!!!

Jes - you know how there's a turning point of each series, with the Nucks and Chicago, it was where the Canucks were holding on to that 1 goal lead in game 4 and if they had won, it would have been 3 games to 1 and of course they lost. Well, I think the turning point of this series (Wings & Pens) was in game 1 in Detroit. In the 2nd period when the Pens had 2 PP and scored none and then Malkin got stopped on that breakaway. Detroit ended up winning. Sunday's game the Pen's hit 3 goal posts and lost. Pens have been snake bit to at least not have 1 W. Sure Detroit is good but they have had more than their share of lady luck. She has a way of evening up. Also look at the peanlities that the Wings are getting away with. That non-call on Hossa's hook of Dupuis's. Look for Pens to win games 3 & 4 at home to tie the series up. Pens are a much better team then last years Stanley Cup version. I to am rooting for the Pens.

haha You are just hilarious Im loving your humor! For real..I think you are the most unique person I have met on bleacherreport.By the way are you a female fan? No offense if you are arent female? It makes no difference to me? I just wasnt sure because of the Jessie? Feel free to call me stupid..lol
I am a musician, and artist so you have really good taste in music also. I love colors myself..if its in the rainbow i love it.lol Dont worry about the Blues-Canucks..the Blues have some other teams we hate..that would be #1) Detroit #2) Chicago #3) Columbus #4) Nashville ...Im sure there are much more..lol But actually I really like Vancouver..they are a good team..I wish Linden was still playing ..We know when it comes to game time..the opposing team is the enemy.Then they knock each other out and go have a beer after the game..lol My uncle Charlie played minor league and his son Luke played with Cam Janssen.Whats funny is Luke was competing against Cam for a spot on a minor league team before being drafted.Well unfortunately Luke didnt beat out Cam Janssen, but thats the way the chips fell. I got to meet Cam at practice one day when Charlie was in town.My uncle is good friends with Cams dad.So it was hilarious..he came out in his spandex and pink crocks..lol He couldnt stop stretching his legs out..lol He was the nicest guy though ..and very muscular! I wouldnt want to be on the otherside of his punches. Most people hate him ..and thats fine..thats his job.But I found him to be very smart and funny! Oh well sorry for the long write. stay in touch Jessie,Jas
ps. dont forget to rate my articles..i always need fans and friends.Thanks

Its awesome you are a Trevor Linden fan! Even though Im a die-hard Blues fan,I named my son after Trevor.I went with Trevor Ryan ..so he got his 1st name..lol I always was a big fan and always wanted him to come to St.Louis when he was in a uniform. Thanks for being a fan.I need all the fans I can get..~Jason~
ps. Vancouver sucked up all that pain Blues were dishing out and scored some goals..I think my team needed to focus on the puck a bit more and lay off the body!lol

Hey, J! I totally agree that Vig and Trev didn't get along. That said, Trev had a lot of union baggage and his style of play went out of style. As well, Trev was a bit gentlemanly on ice because of his political situation. Combine all that and new ownership and it did end a bit badly for Trevor but not as bad as it did for Naslund. I think there has been a general dissatisfaction with Canuck captains since Smyl was the last hardnose to wear the C here. I really believe a Captain like Iginla is important to a team that wants a cup.
If the BS is true that there are bankrupt teams right now then things are going to change right away. If the rumors are accurate the teams are Tampa,Pheonix and Florida. Lecalvier and Doan will be loose,perhaps this season. That would help the Canucks maybe.Hopefully.Cheers.
