Skelators, Joey Jeremiah's, and Other Cancuks Fun

While the rest of the city begins to enjoy the day after happy pills from last night's Canucks victory, Orland Kurtenblog gives us What Would Joey Jeremiah Do? Reading about Ryan Kesler as Melanie Brodie is priceless:

"Sweet, innocent Melanie. Tall, skinny Ryan. We remember them fondly. A couple nice kids with great futures ahead. But, oh, how the peer pressure took over. The next thing we knew Melanie was stealing from her mom's wallet, smoking weed and telling everyone Kathleen's mom was an alcoholic. And Ryan? Well, Ryan got mixed up with the wrong crowd and started extorting the very same people that had stood by him for so many years. Also, he got stoned and told everyone Morrison was anorexic."

Surely this is better than Cam Cole's introduction today: "There isn't a lot in it, yet. You hear that, and you tell yourself that the season is young, but when you watch a hockey game, whether it's in October or December or March, you still want to leap to conclusions based on what looks good enough, and what doesn't."

Translation:" I could tell you what I really think, but that would expose me to possibly being dead wrong, or worse, kind of a douchebag, and I don't effing roll like that."

Although I did enjoy hearing Garry Valk this morning on CKNW talk about Sami Salo's soft groinal region and whether or not he could play tonight as well as he did last night. But here's the key, apparently the Canucks have manufactured a second line or as the Province tells it, "Second line doesn't slack or lack." And my favorite post game thought from Tony "Skelator" Gallagher:

"For the first time this season, the Vancouver Canucks looked as though they might have stumbled onto a configuration of players that has a chance to thrive for longer than it takes to pronounce Anze Kopitar.
While they only won by a goal at home and must go to Edmonton tonight to prove it wasn't just an off night for the slovenly Oilers, the Canucks generated some scoring from lines three and four while -- as always -- the Ikea line and a new second line offering on Brendan Morrison, Jan Bulis and Ryan Kesler looked like a goal was at least possible."
