Well, Thursday is a big day: Trade deadline day.
For those of you who have no clue as to what I'm talking about, I'm referring to the deadline to trade NHL players for this season. After Thursday, teams cannot make any changes to their rosters...No adding on from the outside. This means that GMs and coaches have the chance to shake up their teams in time for the playoffs.
In Vancouver, its all any true hockey fan is talking about. What will GM Dave Nonis do in the next 2 days? There have been rumours of phone calls from other clubs shopping for one Big Bert. I wish to contemplate this option...Losing Bertuzzi...It may be just the right thing for Vancouver and Todd. He needs to be somewhere that he can smile again on the ice, and play with the same voracity of the old days. He can't do it with the shadow looming over his back here in Van. Not that the fans haven't been supporting, we certainly have, and we still love big Bert. Its that we're realizing he needs the change to save his career. This team needs a big shake up. I think Nonis should get on the phone with Ottawa, and really consider what they're offering....As long as we do nothing to throw away first round pick Luc. We need that little boy!
In all, I think if Vancouver really focuses on their youngsters, they will see how far these boys can carry this team. Naslund and Morrison need to get their heads out of their high salary asses and get em back in the game. I do hope you boys realize that all around hockey town, we've been calling anson and the sedins the number 1 line in reality. Considering they make about 4 million less than Naslund does, that's pretty sad. Either start producing, big money players, you know i'm talking to you JoVo, or start packing your bags, because if nonis keeps you over the playoffs, you can be sure you'll get the boot before august training time comes round.
I want a cup this year guys, so I can actually be in town to savour it!
To those of you who know nothing about hockey, or have no idea what it is I'm talking about....I feel sorry for you.

feel sorry for us?...c'mon now...the world knows that football (for some reason called soccer here) is life; 'bout time you guys caught up.
he he he...good to see you're stressing less though and that you guys all had a good time in vancouver.
Payce.
I like to watch football in person. Following stats and trade deadlines and anything besides the world cup bores the hell out of me though...sorry darling!
I didn't realize you were such a sports nut until you became a blogger...
oh the things you discover about people!! I'm not HARDCORE into sports or anything manly like that...I'm just pretty obsessive when it comes to hockey, especially my canucks...You can't live in Vancouver without being pulled into this voracious love for them...sigh...it doesn't hurt that there are some pretty good lookin' players...
And yes people, I am still planning on naming my first born son Mattias, After Mattias Ohlund.
