The Vancouverite Canucks Blogger: Dry Heaving For Taylor Pyatt

So the other night I decided to be adventurous and try out one of those crazy boot camp classes. Well shit. 2 charley horses and a dry heave later my friends and I regained our sanity and went for a beer. We hit up a bar that was playing the game but unfortunately I was with non-hockey fans who wanted to talk about their relationships.

Dry heave #2. I improvised by keeping one eye on the game while pretending to engage in girl talk. My plan was working until Taylor Pyatt scored the game winner with 45 seconds on the clock. I tried to cover my reaction by pretending I was really excited about what my friend was saying. Totally inappropriate point in the conversation for that response and now I’ve been labeled the insensitive bad listener of the group. However, this win over the Stars put an end to the Canuck’s 3 game losing streak, so I say fair trade.

Anyway, it was a great game, and even more impressive considering Salo and Mitchell are still out with injuries. The Swedish band-aid Vigneault stuck on the defensive line (Manitoba Moose call up Alexander Edler) seems to be holding, and last night he even managed to pick up a point. Hope you’ve got a place to stay in Manitoba Bourdon.
Oh and in a fun turn of events, just as things are picking up for us, they’re turning crappy for Florida. Turns out they traded us a kick ass goalie for damaged goods (Bertuzzi’s out for 8 weeks with a pre-exisiting back injury and Auld just scrapped with his teammate in a hotel lobby). I especially love that this is the second time we’ve screwed them. Did ’98’s trade of a healthy Jovo for a hella injured Bure teach them nothing? Fool you once shame on us, fool you twice…..you’re a sucker. Nicely done Nonis.
