Three And Counting...

Highest highs. Lowest lows. That is the true Canucks game. Tonight was no exception either. Vancouver drops another one 2-1 to the Detroit Red Wings and can this stat be right - they had only 15 shots on net. If you are trying to keep score at home, that means three loses in a row, but don't sweat it, it wasn't Auld's fault - he stopped 33 shots.

Ya, right, sure, and just like Mr. Blonde in Reservoir Dogs says, "Either he's alive or he's dead, or the cops got him... or they don't. "

In other game notes check this out: "Every single time Todd Bertuzzi touched the puck, the Joe was filled with boos," writes Christy Hammond at Behind the Jersey. "In between the 1st and 2nd period, they brought out a Toyota truck and the entire time it was on the ice, the crowd booed their heads off. But when a Jeep was brought out in the next intermission, no problems at all. Quite entertaining."

Wow Bertuzzi hating plus Toyota hating. That's really quite something, but the real question is how Bertuzzi could have possibly been overlooked for GQ's 10 Most Hated Athletes list. Worse, listen to this from Hockey Dirt:

"What does it say about the NHL or GQ that not a single hockey player made the cut but some guy named Michael Iaconelli did? Michael Iaconelli? A professional bass fisherman? Number 6 on the list? What could a fisherman possibly do generate hatred? File down opponents' hooks? Tangle their fishing lines? Cut holes in their nets? Shake up their Budweisers? Tell the truth about how big it is?"
