**SHANAMAE FOR LIFE** We Are All Canucks.hello! hello! hello!
summer is over, school has started, it's getting darker, the days are shorter, it's getting colder... all of this can only mean ONE thing:
HOCKEY IS COMING!!! My year officially begins when the first hockey puck drops... the Canucks kick off their pre-season games at Calgary on Tuesday Sept 19 - that's ONLY 4 days away!! wooooooooooo hoooooooooooooo
The REAL hockey starts in 20 days...
The Canucks will be playing 9 of their first 11 games away from home... it's going to be tough, but it will also test out the strength and core of this fairly new team.
Speaking of NEW... holy cow, so many brand-spankin'-new faces... accompanied with zits and everything! ahahaa, just joking... actually, no I'm not. They're are a lot of young faces this year... and we all know how i feel about youngins... but that kinda mindset is going to have to change. In this "new NHL," the game is for the young, the prospects, the future. It involves speed, scoring, excellent goal-keeping (which we will HOPEFULLY have) and MORE speed. Fresh young legs provide these services... they stay on teams for a long time and pass these qualities on to other youth. It's a cycle and if the cycle continues, the franchise flourishes. If the cycle is broken, GM's and team owners have to start from scratch... kinda like what happened with the Canucks during this off-season.
Before we talk about the team, let's talk about some ex-players, shall we? Where to start?
JOVO- nothing to say really... seeeya!
ALLEN/AULD- i actually liked you guys... but we also needed a goalie
CARTER- oh man oh man oh man... i call him the "hockey whore" why? he goes from team to team... after they get bored of him, he moves on to another team to score 9 more goals before they trade him or he moves on to another. Oh, and would you look at that... you finally find a team that you're good in and what do you do? You don't know what to do because you're so use to being passed around... so you do what comes natural to ya, move on to the the next one! I know this has been said many times, but it's true: Carter is NOTHING without the Sedins. Sure, he helped their game too... but clearly, he was nothing before them and they at least had something going on before he came along. He'll just go back to being a 9 goal scoring player and once the 'Jacket' runs outta fashion, he'll move on to another team - that's IF, someone takes him.
BAUMGARTNER- thank GOD! holy cow.... my prayers have been answered!!
BERTUZZI- you never really left my friend, you'll always be in my heart. And you'll always be my #1. Jan 7 - I'm counting down. Watch out, here comes big 44.
Now before the season starts, I just want to clarify one thing. This team is new and has been through a lot in a very short period of time. This city expects a LOT from its players and the organization as a whole. And believe me, they are entitled to do so. However, don't expect this team to come out and start winning every single game right off the bat. I certainly don't. The NHL was not helpful... the Canucks' schedule is ridiculus... starting off with that many away games can really shut a team down once they start losing. BUT, there is an upside to all of this... having to share a bus and airplane creates bonding... since this team will be out of town for most of October, they will get the chance to get to know one another and create a sense of 'team', something that is harder to do when playing home games because everyone goes off and does their own thing.
So, when the season starts and the Canucks lose their first couple of games, don't fret. Of course you always want your home team to win games... but for me, I actually want them to lose these first couple of games. If I remember correctly, last year the Canucks were on fire in the beginning of the year. Their record was something like 14-1 at home... everyone expected this team to go far. But come December-January, everyone had changed their minds. This year is going to be different. I don't expect them to win any major titles, although it would be nice if they did. But what i do expect is heart. This team will WANT and will win games. They will go far, and will actually make the playoffs because their heart will be in the right place. I know its too early to be saying things like that, and I may be wrong... but I'm hopeful. And most of all, I BELIEVE. |
