trading time!so i was right, the Ducks DID win the cup! ha! oh well, good for them...
it's trading time in the world of hockey!! draft picks happening today... some interesting trades to come.
the Canucks prolly wont come out with a bang like they did last season with the Bertuzzi-Luongo trade, but look for Nonis to try to come out with some sort of mini-bang.. he's looking for goal scorers and a faster and stronger team. We got beat by Anaheim in the last round and i mean LITERALLY beat up so Nonis is also going to look for some strong guys. Again, strength isn't everything.. speed and scoring is key.
One of the main things on my mind is what they decide to do with veteran Linden... will they offer him one more year or will he call it quits? I propose they offer him another year just based on his performance in the playoffs and prior to that.. he's really proven himself. He's the type of guy that will stand aside if it's for the betterment of the team.. very unselfish in that sense and not looking for a buck. He's all about the team and everyone respects that. I say he's still got a year or two in him... YAY LINDEN!
anyway, should be interesting to see what happens over the next few days. Stay tuned... Semi Finalsyea so the canucks are out. let's not get into that right now.
now we're into the semi finals of Stanley Cup playoffs...
so, here are the predictions:
Detroit VS. Anaheim... I'm bitter about losing to Anaheim, but I do give credit where its deserved. Anaheim is a great team and deserved that win. I predicted Anaheim to win the cup back in October so i'm sticking to my guns. Of course this is not what i want. I want the Red Wings to win... but I don't see it happening. Ducks in 6.
Buffalo VS. Ottawa... This should be a very entertaining series, regardless of the outcome. I say, Sens in 7.
**I hope I'm wrong about the Ducks winning the cup because I really want either Detroit or Ottawa to win it.. Detroit to win because of Bertuzzi (obviously)... if those 2 meet in the final, I'll be happy no matter who wins. Hockey is fantastic, ain't it?!  First round predictionseastern conference:
buffalo vs. ny islanders = Sabres
new jersey vs. tampa bay = NJ
atlanda vs. ny rangers = Rangers
ottawa vs. pitsburgh = Sens (after all, Sid is just a kid)
western conference:
detroit vs. calgary = fLamers lose, Bertuzzi eats Iginla
anaheim vs. minnesota = wild Ducks
vancouver vs. dallas = Canucks (obviously)
nashville vs. san jose = Preds .: m.o.m :."God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers."
"Mother - that was the bank where we deposited all our hurts and worries."
"Mother love is the fuel that enables a normal human being to do the impossible."
"All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That's his."
"Mother is the name for God in the lips and hearts of little children." "My mom is a neverending song in my heart of comfort, happiness, and being.

Friday November 17th 2006, 12:46 pm
There’s a Seinfeld episode (circa 1994) where Jerry regularly “broke even”. If you remember it, Jerry came out even while playing poker; he was offered a new gig minutes after one was cancelled; and he found $20 in his pockets after Elaine threw $20 out the cab window. In some ways, Jerry in that episode mirrors the Canucks season so far. At the start of this season, the Canucks not just outworked their opponents; they were rewarded with a little bit of puck luck. Markus Naslund and Brendan Morrison tied games late in the third period; Sami Salo and Daniel Sedin won them in overtime. The Blackhawks threw 32 shots on Roberto Luongo three weeks ago and he stopped every single one of them. In many other games, he gave the Canucks an opportunity to win. Against Dallas last Monday, Kevin Bieksa scored from center ice and forever erased memories of Nicklas Lidstrom’s goal from the same spot; Taylor Pyatt scored with 45 seconds left to win the game. Things haven’t gone as well lately. In the last couple of weeks the Canucks suffered late-game meltdowns instead of producing late-game heroics. Andrew Brunette, Kristian Huselius and Johan Franzen all scored in third periods to steal wins for their respective teams. In Minnesota, Todd White scored a goal that should have only been allowed if he had scored it on a soccer pitch. And against Detroit, Alex Burrows’ tying goal was disallowed because Jan Bulis breathed on Dominik the Diver. Through 19 games, the one constant to the Canucks’ season has been their strong work ethic. Even in their losses, they were usually the harder-working team and often produced more scoring chances. Alain Vigneault’s challenge is to make sure his team stays the course - whether they score five goals a game or two, and whether they win or lose. The Canucks may have lost six of their last seven games, but playing the same system, they had also gained points in eight of their first 12 games. They’re playing the same way now as they did earlier this season, but the results are different. Has their luck just evened out? Or is it something else? source: http://blog.canucks.com/?p=187 unsung psalmThere would be psalms sung by a choir

HOCKEY OFFICIALLY STARTS TOMORROW (well, for the Canucks)
... summer was far too long
... every year i actually look forward for skool to start in september because i know, in one month i will be reunited with my love, my passion.
... oh hockey, how i missed thee!
**let the games begin** i wub my little aman HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY TO MY OTHER HALF THE ONE AND ONLY AMAE!!!!!  Aman... i just wanted to say i love you more than anything. You're always there to make me smile
 ... we have so much in common , we're buddies in crime ... we know everything about eachother ... and most importantly, we shall take over the world together! Muahahahaha  I hope you have a wonderful birthday full of everything you have ever wished for. May Waheguru bless you always.
**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. Mr.Williams, 55 looks good on ya!TODAY WE CELEBRATE!
why?
Today we are celebrating ROBIN WILLIAMS...
He's crazy
He's hilarious
He's kind
He makes people smile
He's an artist
He's a child
He's a great actor
He's joyful
He never sits still
Did I mention he's crazy?
And TODAY is his 55th Birthday!!!
 Robin Williams is so talented... to do what he and other comics/stand-up comedians do is AMAZING... it's not a walk in the park, that's for sure!
You can stand in front of an audience after practicing your routine for weeks and get stared down and even booed off the stage. It can be devastating to stand there in dead silence only to hear the scratching of heads and the 'tings' of glasses at a local club. But for people like Robin Williams to stand up there with just a chair, a mike, and a glass of water... and to be able to entertain thousands of people for 2 hours... with no back up singers, no electric guitars, no fancy moves with flashy clothes... that is a true talent.
 It's one of the hardest jobs, and yet it often goes underrated. You can't just be funny. It's not that simple... it takes time, effort, hardwork, but most of all PATIENCE. Many comedians go from club to club and from city to city just to be noticed and to make some sort of earning. A cheap earning, that is. But underneath it all, I don't think most comedians even complain too much about how hard it is to do what they do. And that's the beauty of it all... they wont complain, they'll probably just make a joke out of it.
Going back to Robin Williams... I can't emphasize his amazing-ness... he's AMAZING! He's always got sooooo much to say... whenever he's a guest on talk shows, the hosts rarely even get a word out because he's always going on about something - anything! He is the improv GOD and best of all, he interacts with the audience rather than speaking AT them.
The only thing left to say is....
HAPPY 55th BIRTHDAY TO THE FUNNIEST MAN ALIVE!
 Yea, sure comedy is hard work. But to be where Robin Williams is at now... on top of the world... I say it's worth the shot. Tell a joke or two, and you might like it. But I can't gaurantee it. But if you take the time out to LISTEN to a joke, you'll probably laugh. That moment of happiness is all that matters. I guarantee it.
Laugh.
Smile.
Live.

ITALY REALLY WANTS IT
WORLD CUP 2006
~ FOREVER ITALIA ~
 without 44Bertuzzi has been traded to the Florida Panthers.
it's too much for me to take all at once.
i'll be back with more later when i can cope.
who knows when that will be. "OIL SPILL on aisle EDMONTON SUCKS!"some say a picture is worth a thousand words... I think this one-worded-picture pretty much sums up the Edmonton Oilers...
 ahh yes, the spOilers lost in game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final just as the fLamers did in 2004. Bittersweet.
Am I really a hater?
Sure, call me what you like but 2nd place never got anyone a Stanley Cup. oh, and how many times have I heard this one:
"You're not a Canadian!" HOW DARE YOU PEOPLE QUESTION MY LOVE FOR MY COUNTRY! I love my country and I have no shame in declaring it to the entire world! I am a true patriotic and I don't have to prove that to anyone! For goodness sakes people, I cry during every god damn singing of our nation's god damn anthem!
"Cheer for the Canadian team... the only hope for us."
In the Olympics, I cheer for Canada. In hockey, I cheer for MY teams. If they happen to be American, so be it. If good hockey is being played by an American based team that doesn't mean I'm an "American-lover"
BELIEVE ME, I'm far far faaaar from loving America. *shudders* by the way...
Corey Stillman: Peterborough, Ontario. Glen Wesley: Red Deer, Alberta. Aaron Ward: Windsor, Ontario. Ray Whitney and Mike Commodore: Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta. Eric Staal: Thunder Bay, Ontario. Cam Ward: Sherwood Park, Alberta. Justin Williams: Cobourg, Ontario. Andrew Ladd: Maple Ridge, BC Mark Recchi: Kamloops, BC and Rod Brind'Amour: Ottawa, Ontario Toss in six Americans and a few key Europeans and you have the Carolina Hurricanes.
"Give Carolina GM Jim Rutherford credit; he has assembled a team filled with Canadian stars... the Hurricanes are a darn good hockey team. A team built around players from Canada." -Jim Lang of Sportsnet News
The Carolina Hurricanes deserved their first ever Stanley Cup, there's no doubt about that. Cam Ward? Don't get me started on that kid. one word: WOW What a story... born in Edmonton... raised watching Edmonton... admired all hockey stars from Edmonton... and then goes on to BEAT Edmonton! Bittersweet.
For all you spOiler fans... too bad, so sad. For the "Canadian" hockey fans, don't worry... the CANUCKS will be YOUR team next season.
CONGRATULATIONS CAROLINA HURRICANES hi, i'm cRaZy and this is my theme song...
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind And when you're out there Does that make me crazy And I hope that you are having the time of your life Well, I think you're crazy My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb Maybe I'm crazy -Gnarles Barkley- my little jassu... finally, you're legal! now we can marry.HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY TO MY ONE AND ONLY MISTRESS, JASSU!!
