He also breaks down Tom Wi...

The Vancouver Canucks have proven that hangovers are curable.  They've proven that it's okay to sleepwalk into a contest as if they've embarked on a Granville Street pub crawl.  In another night where they went down by two goals, the Vancouver Canucks were saved by a birthday boy, a trio of minor leaguers, but mostly by a goalie who wants some love, too.  Beggsy and Bhawan react to the game, dive...

zThe Vancouver Canucks and Elias Pettersson beat the Dallas Stars and....Elias Pettersson's Demon.   No, for real, the game started with an own goal from Mr.11.6 which lead to more momentum for the home team from Texas.   Boom Bam, just like that it was 2-0 after 20 Minutes since Rantanen had to create havoc in my mind.   But then, the Canucks exploded for four goals in the second and saw the retu...
