The Good and the Bad of this past week.

It's Friday. So we close out the "Week That Was" with our latest volume of Cheers and Jeers - CHRISTMAS EDITION!!

This week, I'm so mad about the Montreal coaching situation that set a car fire, Ron Maclean needs to zip his yap, plus some props to Hank Sedin and the Blackhawks (what's become of me?!)

Game Day Recon: Game #35 - Flames @ Canucks

The Vancouver Canucks get a bit of an early Christmas present tonight. If they earn a single point tonight, the Canucks will take over the Northwest Division lead, and will vault into 2nd place in the Western Conference, right behind their bitter rival, the Chicago Blackhawks. And the gift comes in the form of the Calgary, against whom the Canucks are 9-0-1 in their last 10 games.

Game Day Recon: Game #34 - Red Wings @ Canucks

The Vancouver Canucks are playing like a red-hot team right now. The problem with tonight is that they are playing a team that's red-hot right now. Red Wings/Canucks games are always thoroughly entertaining, highly skilled games. But the Canucks are going to need to throw down a pretty big spike belt to deflate the Winged Wheel as it rolls into Rogers Arena tonight for a clash between two top teams in the West.

Last year's affair at Air Canada Centre was a bizarre one.
I think the Canucks would rather just demolish the Leafs old fashioned-like this time around.

Game Day Recon: Game #32 - Canucks @ Maple Leafs

The Vancouver Canucks lost consecutive games to the worst teams in either conference. Sobering, for sure. But par for the course when it comes to the Vancouver Canucks, who have found ways to lose to the bottom feeders in the league for several years. The good thing about the Canucks facing the Leafs is that the Leafs are currently in a playoff spot. And the Canucks should be good and pissed off after gagging away a two-goal lead in Carolina on Thursday.

The Good and the Bad of this past week.

It's Friday. So we close out the "Week That Was" with our latest volume of Cheers and Jeers.

This week, I praise AND cut down a member of the Chicago Blackhawks, show some love to a good BC kid and a Russian bizzaronaut, and bodyslam the G Man and Mr Poopy.
