Stop being so realistic and embrace the fantasy, I would have though of all people you would have already pasted Kane's face over Kesler's body on that poster in your bedroom.

I think we have enough of those posters on this site, someone has to be realistic.

We all know who the real realists are on this site *cough*VANTEL*cough*

See, this is what I'm talking about. The old PK'er would have planned this all ahead of time or at least settles for an internet stream.

Was just checking out the Yahoo schedule, looks like I have my Cali road trip on the horizon. Going to be a good test for the #1 team in the league

2 of them are TSN actually.

I'm realistic... I just think Vantel's realism is pessimism and nihilism in disguise... but then he's the oldest poster on this board, so he's entitled to be the cranky Don Cherry/Rush Limbaugh of HB

Did a white wine Roman tomato sauce with hand made fettuccine spicy italian sausage and sautéed portable mushrooms for dinner. Let's all enjoy the game everyone go nucks go

Not good if Horvat sits. We need what he brings especially vs the Cali teams. Hansen, Matthias or even Burrows can sit. Burrows needs to take a seat to think about what he has brought so far. Stupid penalties while on the 2nd PP unit have cost us at least one game. Actually I have been concerned about his play and I have to wonder if it's connected to the rumors of him being asked to waive his no trade clause. But if anything Burrows has earned more than a chance to prove himself under this coaching.mangt. He will need to play well...and soon. Matthias gives us a bigger body but Hansen gives us nothing vs the Cali teams.

Lay off the Kool aid, it's obvious to the professionals that Bo "doesn't bring" what you think he brings or just not to the level that it takes to be an NHL regular. If all he can do is play 8 mins a night on the 4th line he's better off in junior, where he can be a leader.

*ahem* and why weren't we invited? what? not good enough for you? too edgy? too drunk? not drunk enough? you don't like turnip wine? You wax melancholy about Esplen and Cloutier?

I'm only 38, I'm a spring chicken still (save for having little to no hair and most of it salt & pepper colored)

Don't make me unleash my extensive metaphysical powers. I can turn you into a Leafs fan just like that, ya bastid! (I of course say that with love )and then what? steadily 'progressing' into living in a van down by the river.... eating the usual pine-cone casserole samplings, beaver snouts, moose testicles (are there any other kind when it comes to culinary brilliance? no, really, are there?), and then degenerating into a Hockey Buzz Season Ticket Holder (you know you've hit rock bottom - jus' sayin' ).

Ok, where was I? oh yes, I can turn you into a Leafs fan forthwith, so you better watch it, you infidel!, you (awaiting Kaptaan's appearance shortly)

Rogaine? or quilted head piece? (either way, you realize you are now going to have to embrace the personality of a mega-chick-magnet)

I hope the canucks game is half as entertaining as the Jets/Penguins game!

Based on warm-up, #Canucks will line-up like this: 22-33-17/20-13-14/27-15-7/51-53-36 23-8/18-3/2-5 Miller starts

It's one game and Horvat has earned more than 8min/night.

Horvat 8/12 on faceoffs last game vs Colorado and defensively responsible. Gives us three zone play immediately and is big(er) and can skate with the teams we need to beat like the cali teams. Hansen gives us nothing vs these types of teams in the west. What good is Hansens speed if all he does is lose board battles? Matthias -8 sure he played well last game but it took almost 12 games for it to happen. Burrows like I said deserves his shot but he has become mentally undisciplined and I have to wonder where his head is.

You wanna roll with Hansen and Matthias then more power to you I guess. Burrows will hopefully prove me wrong but it's risky. And we need to take some risk on youth.

Horvat and Jensen could easily step in for Hansen and Matthias but hey if you can't see that I can't help you.

maybe Kassian should sit for a few as well...get his head right.

Horvat back in junior accomplishes nothing.

Absolutely, @#$# free range turnips and organic hedgehog tails ........MMmmmmmmmmm....but not exactly something us lower class paupers can partake of

(Pssst, I know Bezz has a full wine cooler of organic turnip and pickled dodo (imitation of course) eggs.
