Wednesday Morning Coffee- How to spot a double agent

via images.bcdb.com
The following article is parody and a comedic look at recent events. It is not to be taken seriously.
As Team Canada prepares to take on the Russians after handily dispatching the German's 8-2 yesterday afternoon, the suspicions some had appear to have been warranted: There are double agents in Canada! Not to worry though, Communism might be dead, but the Red Menace is still very real. With the help of a US Army training manual I found, we can teach you how to spot one of these insidious turncoats.

Tuesday Morning Coffee- Luongo Prepares For His Moment
by canucklehead666 on Feb 23, 2010 10:42 AM EST
on Nucks Misconduct
The shock of the announcement by Team Canada coach Mike Babcock yesterday that not only would Roberto Luongo start in goal today against Germany but be the starter the rest of the way is a little puzzling. Babcock made it clear before the tournament started that should his #1, Martin Brodeur falter along the way, Luongo would get his shot. So for there to be outcry from journalists and 'fans' of Team Canada is utter nonsense. Trying to draw positives from Brodeur's performance Sunday is nothing but hero worship and revisionist history.

Sunday Morning Coffee- Which Card Will Burke Play?
by canucklehead666 on Feb 21, 2010 2:47 PM EST

So many cards to choose from in this one... and he can play more than one. But even before today arrived, with the biggest test for both teams looming this afternoon, Brian Burke has been making sure you know which card he is holding. And to no one's surprise, especially those of us in BC, it's that U-card. You know, the Underdog card.
Saturday Afternoon Tea- His name feared 'cross the land... His name is Vikingstad!

They may have lost the game in overtime, but the Norwegian with the most metal name ever in hockey has become the talk of a town already out of it's mind with the play of guys like Jaromir Jagr, Alexander Ovechkin, Sidney Crosby and Teemu Selanne. Tore Vikingstad, the St. Louis Blues 6th roundpick in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft may end up being the biggest story of an already incredible tournament.
Friday Morning Coffee- Now You're A Man

Sidney Crosby would like you all to stop calling him the kid. NOW! Crosby elevates at the appropriate time in a game that wasn't nearly as shocking as the media are making it out to be, and the Canucks Pavol Demitra seals the deal in the real shocker of the tournament so far. Today's post features musical accompaniment from DVDA, better known as Trey Parker and Matt Stone of South Park fame. More after the break...
Thursday Morning Coffee- Mullet with a capital M
by canucklehead666 on Feb 18, 2010 11:10 AM EST
on Nucks Misconduct
While he may not have the wheels he once possessed, Jaromir Jagr did show us two things last night: he still has a world class shot, and... the mullet is back, baby! The Czechs and Slovaks give us a hell of a game, and Team Canada looks to exercise a demon. A demon made of chocolate, cheese and shame.
Wednesday Morning Coffee- Norway? Way!

It took a little bit to get them going, but when they did it was something to behold. Team Canada showed glimpses of being exactly the team Steve Yzerman envisioned as they battled nerves and a hot goalie after 1 period, rolling to an 8-0 victory over Norway in their opening match of theMens Hockey Tournament at the 2010 Olympics.
Tuesday Morning Coffee- Made with tears brought on by the savage UK press
by canucklehead666 on Feb 16, 2010 10:28 AM EST
on Nucks Misconduct
Oh noes. Now the UK press, those torchbearers of journalistic excellence, are all over Canada and Vancouver as they attack anything even remotely involved with the Games. Too bad we won't really care, as the roar of deafening crowds like the one at BC Place for Alexandre Bilodeau's gold medal ceremony and the ones that start today at Canada Hockey Place will keep us from even noticing the ridiculous crap spewing from the mouths of these 'journalists'. A look ahead at the beginning of a new chapter in Canada's rich hockey history after the jump...
Monday (almost afternoon) Coffee- Gold, Bronze and a giant chrome plated turd
by canucklehead666 on Feb 15, 2010 3:01 PM EST

Yeah, I am more than a little choked at that hockey game yesterday. And not just for the obvious reasons. I don't blame Luongo for that loss, he was hung out to dry his entire time on the ice. And even though they played so bloody poorly, I don't blame the defense. Except Aaron Rome. You may be excused to Victoria. Yes I don't want him sent to the Moose. I want him sent to the Salmon Kings so that I may yell at him in person. More after the break...
Sunday Morning Coffee- Waiting for Boogaard
by canucklehead666 on Feb 14, 2010 10:07 AM EST
on Nucks Misconduct
A lunch date with the Minnesota Wild and a chance to go 5-3 on the first half of the Road Trip From Hell (tm) is on tap this afternoon, as Roberto Luongo gets 1 last chance to show Steve Yzerman he is ready to rock later this week (and maybe beyond) at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

If Olympic fever hasn't completely overwhelmed you yet, I have no doubt it will. The world has come to Vancouver, and it's going to be a party like we've never seen before. Oh, and the Canucks shutout the Panthers in Florida last night, but we will understand if you're not paying attention...

We will begin our journey right after this message from our good friends at Mutual of Omaha". And now that I've lost you with a reference most of you are too young to know, let's talk a bit about the task at hand and what lies ahead, hmm?

At the risk of sounding like the average 16 year old resident of CDC, I am beginning to think that the Canucks might need to do a little something to shake things up, before they fall any further. Now I am not going all Chicken Little on you, I tend to be a 'glass half full' kind of guy, but a team that gives up the opening goal 7 straight games is not going places unless they change more than just their sunny disposition.
Tuesday Morning Coffee- Lightning Strikes

There was a time this season where the Canucks saw this game and no doubt licked their chops. The Lightning have been on the outside looking in, and have suffered through some dysfunctional ownership that made Phoenix look like the model of consistency at times. But with Oren Koules and Len Barrie now out of the picture and Jeff Vinik in, the Lightning may have a chance at succeeding again. More on this crucial battle tonight after the jump...

You had to know this was coming: A couple games without production from the Sedins and Alex Burrows and the Vancouver media are after them like starving Rottweilers.

Stop me if you've heard this one: it wasn't pretty, but the Canucks found a way to win. I always love to read fan reactions after a day like this, where people bemoan the fact that we had to come from behind. I am not discounting the poor play, but sometimes you just have to live by the Al Davis creed "Just win, baby". This team has some issues, there's no denying that. But on this record-setting road trip, does it really matter how we win? More after the jump...
Saturday Morning Coffee- Taking stock of things
by canucklehead666 on Feb 6, 2010 10:31 AM EST
on Nucks Misconduct
One of the interesting things about sports is how heated rivalries can change the demeanor of people. Seemingly mild-mannered, everyday Joes become transformed into shirtless, face-painted maniacs in support of their team, and even more when a team that is identified as one of your strongest rivalries comes to town. With the news breaking last night of Brian Burke's son Brendan and a passenger losing their lives in a car accident in Indiana, the notion of rivalries goes out the window. More after the jump.

Back at it tonight, the Canucks look to put a disappointing loss to Les Canadiens behind them as they take on the hottest team in the land that isn't currently part of a massive Canadian Media conspiracy to shun and belittle, the Ottawa Senators. Usually in pre-game posts bloggers like to rip on the other team, how much they despise this or that about them, but I have a hard time finding things to dislike about the Ottawa Senators. Just let me grab my Orca-colored homer glasses and I will see you on the other side of the jump...
Wednesday Morning Coffee- The Ballad of Bruno Halakaloogie or How I went to Montreal and didn't get a win
by canucklehead666 on Feb 3, 2010 2:17 PM EST

I am sure we all expected this win streak to end soon, but I know I had figured that it would come against the Ottawa Senators. The Canucks have been playing at an extremely high level for a while now, and they were due for one of those frustrating losses against teams beneath them in the standings and last night was one of those. A little different this team as they badly outplayed the Habs, who to their credit made the most of the opportunities given them. Jaroslav Halak was amazing as he stopped 45 of 47 to aid the Habs (ptooey!) to victory. More after the jump...

With the insanity currently going on in Calgary, and the big game for the Canucks against the Habs this afternoon, I felt like mixing things up a bit. So in "honour" of the Grammys the other night, a little old school metal accompaniment to your Morning Coffee.

Anyone hear something about a trade? For those of us who blog, or are deeply entrenched in social media applications like Twitter, yesterday was fascinating as we we saw the good, the bad and the ugly of how breaking news is reported in situations like this. TSN's Darren Dreger was on top of it all, but a lot of people came under fire for tweeting his info as though it were there scoop, part of a recent trend where bloggers aren't giving sources credit due.
Sunday Morning Coffee- The Comeback

Spotting a team a 3 goal lead is something no team should make a habit of, even if it is the Toronto Maple Leafs. But the comeback that the Vancouver Canucks pulled off last night at the ACC was nothing short of magical. Alex Burrows got things started on the scoreboard, but it was Darcy Hordichuck's tilt with Leafs tough guy Colton Orr that seemed to awaken the beast that is the Vancouver Canucks.

It's fast becoming a day that hockey fans across the nation look forward to almost as much as Trade Deadline day. Some joke that it should actually be a national holiday, and I think they have a point. Today we celebrate the game that brings us together as a nation.

The Road Trip From Hell(tm) has cast a shadow on the first half of the Canucks season as it loomed in the distance. Now, as they've reached the gateway to this historic road swing, is it really as bad as they make it out to be? Or is it more of a mental challenge than a physical one?

We knew it was coming, and leading into this season the big question for the Canucks was: Can they win enough games at home before they set off on this record setting road trip? With the most home wins in the NHL, and a record of 17-4-2 since Dec 10th, you have to think the Canucks have done almost everything they could in their circumstances to head into The Road Trip From Hell(tm).

Though the Canucks have a pesky opponent awaiting them tonight at GM Place, you can't help but think they're looking ahead to the record setting Road Trip From Hell(tm). But is it really going to be the downfall of one of the league's hottest teams right now, or does it play right into their hands as they pursue their 3rd Northwest Division title in 4 years?

Tuesday Morning Coffee- The Statement
by canucklehead666 on Jan 26, 2010 11:36 AM EST
on Nucks Misconduct
A lot of the hype leading to last night's game between the Canucks and the Buffalo Sabres centered around the two goaltenders, Roberto Luongo and Ryan Miller. Both will represent their countries at the Olympics in a few weeks, and with similar stats it seemed like a great matchup. But perhaps the real match was between Miller and Vancouver's Henrik Sedin. Both are being mentioned as Hart Trophy candidates, Miller getting the early nod from many out East, with Henrik getting the support of journalists on this side of the continent.

Monday Morning Coffee- Still no respect, huh?
by canucklehead666 on Jan 25, 2010 11:05 AM EST
on Nucks Misconduct
While the Canucks continue their march to the top of the Northwest Division, the respect for this team and the way they have handled some of the elite teams in the NHL certainly is slow in coming. A lot of it has to do with Auger-gate, as writers and other media types piled on the team for defending Alex Burrows. They attacked the team, the organization and the fans. They brought up that the team hasn't won the Stanley Cup. They called us every derogatory fan-related name under the sun for daring to believe in this team. What do I think? Good. Bring it on. All you've done is forced Canucks fans to come to terms with their pride, and realize this team is something to be excited about.

Ok, so three of our four best defensemen are out of the lineup. You know, our shutdown guys. It doesn't look good honestly, and most would realize that if we lose to the Hawks tonight, that would likely have a lot to do with it. One thing is for sure: they're going to need a better effort than the ones they showed against the Oilers and the Stars this week. More after the jumpage...
