Guess people have had enough, hope it wasn't magic pixie dust that may have helped him pull his head out of his ass however...

A letter containing a suspicious white powder arrived at GM Place Monday, resulting in the home of the Vancouver Canucks being quarantined for several hours.

According to police, contents of the letter, which had Canucks forward Todd Bertuzzi's name on it, leaked onto a desk after being opened by Orca Bay staff.

None of the seven employees for Orca Bay Sports and Entertainment, the company that owns the Canucks, who were exposed to the material in the letter became ill.

Const. Howard Chow said the hazardous materials team later determined the substance was not harmful.

The Canucks did not play at GM on Monday, as they suffered a 4-2 loss in Dallas to the Stars.

got this from a poster on the Canuck's website:


I based this year on the 12 year theory and everything is still in line for a magical run to the finals.

By now everyone knows the 12 year theory of the nucks from entering the league in 1970 to making the finals 12 years later, then again in 1994 12 years later having the greatest canuck of all times jersey retired as number 12 and then this year 2006 still in question.

The thing in all of those years the Canucks licked it up and scraped into the playoffs and went on a crazy run. I predicted at the beginning of the year the Nucks will finish 6th-8th in the conference having a sub par year as usual then clicking at the right time. My goal is just get in the playoffs and ride the moon to the finals. It is going to happen and we are right on track. No worrys here just bought playoff tickets and they will be used.

Another wee bit of proof that kids shouldn't get a spring break anymore. Holy shit, 5-0! Crawford may very well be out of a job tommorrow morning.

This is a stagnant pond. A note to those of you with an old blog, to update before disease settles in; miss you all - must be a spring anticipation lack thereof project! Come on kids, especially those near and far; keep up to date so we all ken that you're fine and well. We don't really give a damn about that, just looking for keen observations and quirky points about town.....Post you buggers......Post! Unless of course you're in Alberta and counting down the days! Were I in that situation, I wouldn't have time to post either as I'd be sealing my boxes for the ninth time in eager anticipation of reclaiming the west coast............................ Long live it once you arrive Ron, and you might want to continue cheering the Flames this season via the default setting............

Time for the Canucks to hit the button, really and truly thinking this club is gonna miss the playoffs...

The future of the Vancouver Canucks. Question is who the hell is gonna fucking start playing with these guys??? Canucks worried this lad tonight, though the new D looked good despite their plus/minus. Holy shit though, tis team needs to score!

""A university in the Halifax area is banning the use of computer software designed to help professors catch plagiarists.

Student leaders at Mount Saint Vincent University in Bedford, N.S., have been lobbying to stop professors from using the online database turnitin.com, and the university's senate agreed in a vote on Monday.

"Students go to university for a higher education. They don't go to be involved in a culture of mistrust, a culture of guilt," said Chantal Brushett, president of the students union.""

Dear god, 'a culture of guilt' shouldn't the guilt come from the cheating, not the honest students fear of being caught??? Seems to me the student leaders may not be the most honest students, or are bowing to the not so honest membership. Though I'd post this forum to gather the Doc's opinion...

Could this be the next Kipper? I really like what Nonis did at the deadline, the D is shored up, and with the return (hopefully) of the top three D; we're about as deep in that dept. as any club in the league. Brown brings some toughness which'll be welcome as it seems Brookbank was rushed back, still looks dizzy out there. Hopefully the veteran leadership of Carney and Mr. yellow visor will help the room a bit, as I have a hunch it needs it. Shall be interesting to see what the next few games bring. In not trading Bert, I think management was giving er one last go with the core, and attempting to keep Naslund happy and content. That or the offers either weren't there, or not a fair swap for the 'asset.' Hoping this club will finish strong and head deep, however I've been let down before................

DRo wins the ten spot...in your face JFu!!!!

Oscar night coming up, little soire at JFu's, tis gonna be great. And did I mention I'm gonna win 10 bucks?

Why do they always pose with the cute baby ones??? Sir Paul and his lovely wife are creating quite a bit of global noise in anticipation of the annual Newfoundland seal hunt....thoughts??? Personally, I feel seal hunts draw the ire of many due to graphic, brutal way in which the animals are harvested (thus bludgened and clubbed) yet culling of the population is the only way to ensure healthy fish stocks. Funny how we interfere with nature by way of economics huh??? I hear after the ice flows, Sir Paul is gonna hang with that hack Sting and the dude with his flared nose down below the equator. Speaking of which, what's with these old washed up rock stars? Rod Stewart is recording the worst (yet best selling) music of his life; but none the less still siring children with super hot young uns. Good for him, maybe Paul and Gordon Summner ought forget about the wasting globe and indulge in more earthly delights like Mr. Stewart. And the pun was intended.

'A la SNL of the late 80's:'

'Bure' - Here me now, and believe me later Gino; you are so pumped, not like that girly-man Capain Kirk in his little tights and cape.

'Gino' - Rocket, flex for me and I 'will pump you up'

Lordy am I bored tonight, don't feel modivated to do a damn thing. Laying around watching Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas on TV and feel the need to chew on an adrenal gland...if only half of what Mr Thompson claimed to do was done, truly a miracle they made it out alive. Man, to trash a hotwl room like that...While on the film note, watched Domino last night. Some interesting filmaking re. pacing, lighting, shots etc (and holy shit is Ms. Knightley some hot stuff) but the dialog blew. The story probably could have been dealt with in a better fashion as well. Ok, enough rambling, I'm predicting the Swedes to take the gold tommorrow by a two or three goal margin. Hank and Daniel are gonna shine...

Leaked pic of a bruised and battered Bond...still not sure about this guy.

Especially after reading this quote:

Daniel Craig stunned James Bond bosses when he couldn't drive 007's classic car - reports LSE.

Filmmakers had transported Bond's original Aston Martin DB5 to the Bahamas to shoot new movie 'Casino Royale'.

But the star confessed he didn't have a license to drive the manual car, which Sean Connery drove when he played the dashing spy.

The 39-year-old reportedly said: "Er... I don't do gears."

An insider is quoted in Britain's Daily Star newspaper as saying: "They've started shooting here and are using the old DB5, which is absolutely sensational. It was shipped over and was ready to go but then we found out he can't drive a manual car.

"So we have had to adapt it so it's like an automatic. You don't expect that with James Bond, to be honest."

Last year, Craig admitted he is struggling to overcome his biggest fear to play Bond - he's terrified of guns.

The star will have to handle weapons in the film but said he was left petrified after seeing a real life bullet wound.

He said at the time: "I hate handguns. They are used to shoot people and as long as they are around, people will shoot each other. I've seen a bullet wound and it was a mess."

Don't need these anymore, surgery was easy as pie...going for my follow up post op today, though everything is already crystal clear with no pain whatsoever. Watch this blog for another excitng entry re. eye surgery. Will be up shortly............

Caught the tail end of this film yesterday, and had forgotten just how great it is...didn't do any research for this post, but the French actor who plays the inspector (also a wise old guy in Ronin and Munich) is a superb actor. I need to learn more about him. Anyway, if you haven't seen the movie, do yourself a favour and watch a classic cat and mouse chase with this one. But don't, repeat don't mistake this for the Bruce Willis movie where computers talk to you, and you can pick up vans with enough firepower to bring down mountains. All while sneering and sporting that 'I was good in Moonlighting, wasn't I?' look. After Reindeer Games Bruce's version of 'Jackal' should go down as one of the most ridiculous pieces of film ever shot.

Wow, the long lost Sutter brother!

Don't point that piece at me please Vice President Chenney. I understand he gunned down a 78 year old lawyer while quail hunting yesterday. Wonder if the lawyer was a member of the Axis of Evil? What's next 'Shrub' aka Bush Junior takes out his lawyers eye while juggling foreign policies? Look out Iran, he's only got so much longer in power.....

Had it with this guy, had it with the manager, the coach, the so called 'power forward' the injuries, the refs, the ice, the pucks, the game itself....FUCK
