Coyotes 4 - Canucks 1: Whales not so killer...

Our boys came into Vancouver BC tonight and thoroughly cleaned the ice with the Canucks tonight. I'm not going to lie, I was worried. Luongo was coming back tonight, we're terrible on the road this season, or PP has been god awful. But the guys showed up tonight and took it too them. As a matter of fact they must have read my blog just before the game because they about did everything I asked of them. They did well enough that the Vancouver faithful were booing their team tonight. I'll take it. One other thing. Mats Sundin is going to want to stay out of the box. It seems like everytime he's in, the opposition PP goes nuts. 2 for 3 on the PP? Sweet.
Go 5-Hole: First shot of the game Joakim Lindstrom went 5-hole and scored it. Luongo may be back, but either the groin or his head aren't totally right yet because he looked weak there all night. I couldn't tell on the replay, but it looked like Lindstrom's 2nd may have gone between the legs too. And then the Mueller goal went that way as well. He just couldn't close up quite fast enough.
Shoooooot!: I hate when the crowd starts yelling it, but they were at least puting chances on net tonight. Coyotes went 11-11-10 for 32 total shots. Not a bad night.
Defense needs to pick it up: Yandle and Hale actually looked okay out there tonight. Hale wasn't anything outstanding, but didn't make silly mistakes either. Yandle finally got a goal from the point. His shots have been getting through all season, but he hasn't found the back of the net in a while. Did tonight though. Good job.
No softies: Luongo wasn't himself, but Bryzgalov was. Bryzie made some quality saves and made sure that the Canucks didn't have a chance to come back.
Kyle Turris: Got an assist. Hey, it's not much, but it counts. I can deal with him not lighting it up tonight since the team did everything else I told them to.

Brutal. Completely brutal. I don’t think the Coyotes played that great as much as the Canucks (two games in a row now) just laid down and died. Luongo was rusty but the first period was a joke. Pathetic.
I’m envious of every fan who has a team that at least pretends to play for 60 minutes. Vancouver has chosen to pretend to play for 10-15 depending on the opponent. Ugh.
True it was brutal
We thank you very much for the gift. We played well… you gotta honestly give us our props we played for 50 minutes and thankfully it was enough. Yes your guys stunk up the joint but they’ll bounce back. Keep your head up.
Takin over the NHL, 1 blocked shot at a time... Go Z!
I’ll give you props for letting Jovo pass the puck as much as he does. I still get nervous watching him do that. Too many bad memories.
Yeah, no doubt, you guys had more energy and played a far better game. And got to clog up the 4-8 slot even more. Awesome. You’ll forgive me in March when I hate you. Right??

I forgive you now
ahead of time cuz I KNOW your pain.
Nothin worse than when your team sux butts for no apparent reason. You got talent and a goalie and ‘should’ be rockin along smoothly but nooooo, they seem to live to cause you heart burn and nauseau.
And in March we’ll be at each others throats, fightin for a playoff spot as it should be and if we dont make it, we can band together and hate some one else. LOL

Sure, may I table Calgary now followed shortly behind by Anaheim? I think that’s some collective hate we can all get behind.

Oh Yeah!
We can definitely get behind some Duck hateration. We took care of that lil Flame thang last night sooo movin on to the Quacks will be a pleasure that we can both share. Lookin forward to neither of us needin to worry about the dirty birds after March, hopefully we shall both ride into the post season ahead of the fowl.

It’s what happens when the Coyotes were like “Let’s man up, Moose!”
Ain't nothing but puck drops and poke checks, babydoll.

Is exactly what made this happen. Not sure which of the guys did it, but someone definitly told the Meese to man up.
