OPPOSITION BLOG: Nucks Misconduct
TV: WGN RADIO: WGN 720AM
DON’T FORGET: YOUR SPG PICKS
I used to try to put up a link to any new NHL Blog that Mirtle would get added to the SB Nation family but lately I've been lazy and Mirlte's doing speed or something.. there are tons of them now check out the links on the left and you'll see that almost every team is represented and if you know of a good blog already for a team that's not then let me know and I'll let our fearless leader know about it. He's shooting for all teams represented but teams like Columbus pose a real challenge.
Anyways, the newest member to our team is appropriate for tonight - please welcome Nucks Misconduct. You may have seen one of their fans in our comments already so any team that's got trash-talking fans already annoying other sites is obviously something I fully support.
On to the actual Canucks team though - This team is best described by the quote paraphrasing Robert Burns "The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry". (That's right bitches.. i'm quoting Burns). Right now - Mats Sundin is looking like a mouse.
After wasting all our time by playing the waiting game popularized by well-known douches like Neidermeyer, Selanne and the king of it all Brett Favre, Sundin finally decided to sign with the Canucks and played his first game with the team exactly a month ago. They won the first game he played despite his lack of production and Canucks fans peed their pants a little lot.
What happened next was pure karma.. an 8 game losing streak. During that streak Mats had only 3 points and was -6. He's out of shape and old as fuck.. good choice picking him up.
The Nucks were able to finally snap that losing streak in their last game when Sundin showed up with a goal and an assist against the Canes. The Nucks haven't had consecutive wins though since Dec. 14th and 17th when they beat the Panthers and Oilers. I don't see them getting their next set toinght.
My ride out for the day just showed up early so I have to cut this preview short but lets just say things are looking good for the Hawks to continue their winning streak. Never sleep on a team with Luongo in goal though. If I get back before the game I'll add more.
Lets Go Hawks

Your gametime video feed and beer
This feed should do the trick: http://atdhe.net/live-tv-2.php?i=624
I’ll check back in as soon as the game starts and see if there’s a better feed, but this site’s feeds are usually pretty good. I’ll be using this one (damn you, WGN and the state of Iowa), so if it sucks I’ll do my best to find a better one.
And your gametime beer:
Samuel Smith’s India Ale
A pretty damn good English IPA, it will be a perfect session beer — easy to throw back half a dozen (without an overwhelming taste profile) — while you watch the Hawks score goal after goal against some lame-ass team from Canuckistan (all Canadian teams are the same, sweeping generalizations, etc. etc.).
I’ll see you sons of bitches in the comments.
It's the Andrew Ladd of Beers!
Not overwhelming, but you love to have a half dozen with you at any time.
Can I just say?
That your my hero? Please, don’t ever miss a game, I want this to be a happening for every game.
First game I'll get to watch since the debacle
in LA

Prediction:
Either Buff or Wisz lays out Sundin and actually makes him cry. (Speaking of ladies playing in the NHL, anyone out there as curious as I am to see Alexander Semin-Stain in another fight?)
Hope the God DAM line gets the Some-din or Others doing the same things they got Iginla doing … which is to say, unfolding cots directly on the ice for mid-game naps.
Don’t count out a Canucks team that finally won a game and had an enormous weight lifted off their backs!
Like our Sundin-Demitra-Kesler line. I hope Mats and co makes you eat your filthy words! I can’t be overly confident that they will though. Like you said, they haven’t won back-to-back games since before Xmas. Jeeziz.
Hopefully this freak provides some luck.
For a post on an opposing team's blog,
this is severely lacking in juvenile, inflammatory jabs. Next time you offer constructive insight from an opposing viewpoint, please be sure to remember the requisite insults.
Asshole.
chicagokill? chicagothrill?
The Nucks were able to finally snap that losing streak in their last game when Sundin showed up with a goal and an assist against the Canes.
Actually, it was the godlike Ryan Kesler whose efforts brought about a win over the hurrilames (see what I did there!)
But watch as Mats Sundin makes the Blackhawks his bitch tonight. And I shall return to this blog to laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh and laugh…
Or cry, as the need arises.
I see what you did there...
and don’t be surprised if you see multiple pictures of Jasper posted in the comments section of your team’s blog later.
I don't know if the internet is rendered differently on your obsolete Canadian Windows 95 machine,
but if you want to reply to a specific comment, you can click the “+ reply” button right below it. Just a helpful tip — it’s the same on all SB nation blogs.
Windows 95?
When did that come out? I’m still on 3.1
This just in: Cam Barker is out three weeks with mild carpul tunnel syndrome. He aggravated the injury while trying to turn down ‘teh suck’.
Mua ha ha ha
damn. that was pretty good.

You’re the team giving up goals to Sundin. Is this game taking place in 1997?

It's a small community, but it's not as small as it seems.
A lot of people lurk and don’t comment 50 times a game.
Yeah
Hopefully they start commenting because there’s a lot of good stuff here that deserves more comments.
You need prizes for signing up.

Well, typically when we comment it's about the game.
If there’s a goal, a big kill, a questionable call — something to that effect. We’re just not a chatty bunch, I suppose.
My aren’t we catty.

Why is Squeaks announcing Canucks games. Is that so he can tell players to assault the opposition?

Let's go Hawks
Power play time! Do something with it!
"Carlos Quentin? Where's Hamilton?"
"I ate him."
Wow, just about the worst period I've seen the hawks turn in all season
White Sox: Trying to roll a hard six.
What a fucking disappointment so far
I’m finally able to stay up to watch the Hawks, and they shit the bed in first 15 minutes of the game. I can only imagine what Eddie O is saying right now…
I don't know
The feed I’m watching is some backwards-ass Canadian channel. From your comment, I’m guessing Eddie O isn’t even in the booth tonight
wings pens i believe

Ladd had a wide open net there.
Chicago coming on late. I gotta be honest I have little faith in the Canucks right now. Lots of hockey left to play.
Well if the hawks pick it up like they did the last few minutes
this might be a game again.

no same issue with the loading screen

Just saw that
sucks for Huet. A couple of those goals really weren’t his fault, but what can ya do? Let’s see if Khabby can shut them down.
I agree that Huet wasn't getting any help
and apparently neither is Khabby.
White Sox: Trying to roll a hard six.
This game is so over
The Hawks have nothing tonight.
"Carlos Quentin? Where's Hamilton?"
"I ate him."
now you all know
how us leafs fans felt on wednesday
Making stuff up since real Leafs news is far too depressing
Okay, who kidnapped the Blackhawks?
Those guys wearing their jerseys have to be impostors.
"Carlos Quentin? Where's Hamilton?"
"I ate him."
That's what I was thinking
I just wanted them to ruin the shutout.
"Carlos Quentin? Where's Hamilton?"
"I ate him."
ok you guys
i call it a night. Thanks for letting me in
Making stuff up since real Leafs news is far too depressing
Seriously - what the hell is up with him?
It was only a month ago we were talking about him being the most replaceable guy on the roster.
Now that honor falls to Brouwer? Byfuglien?
Havlat!
Well at least the Hawks aren’t being embarrassed anymore…
White Sox: Trying to roll a hard six.
Canucks fans cheering "LUUUUUU" when Luongo makes a save
reminds me of Bulls fans cheering “LUUUUUUUC” when Luc Longley was announced.
or like when they say "BOOOOOOOO"
When Joakim Noah shoots a free throw like a 13 year old girl who happens to be 6’7 and dressed like JoJo the Hip-Hop Clown.
Yeah that was a guess.
I’m not really a basketball fan. But I’ve gone to a few games and marvelled at how he’s even goofier and unathletic in person. Even from the 3 hundos. Nice work Pax.
It's one thing to lose. It's another to lose like this.
But when you lose like this to a team who plays Phish before face-offs?
Jesus Christ. At least we gave the fine citizens of Vancouver something to cheer about before their next methodone injection.
'In which the Hawks play a team with a nickname that resembles a sound the Three Stooges make '
Oh yeah? I wonder what sounds the Hawks are making tonight. My guess: whimpering.
What does being humbled sound like, because I now know what it LOOKS like. :)
Not if your team keeps playing like that
Does it usually take the Hawks 40 minutes to begin playing? :-)
So you missed the games against Calgary and San Jose?

shit son
Sorry guys… Sam and I were getting drunk at a bar while watching this piece of shit game. The recap will come tomorrow morning.. not that we really need to relive this. Glad to see all the PPP fans coming over for the start.. sorry we let you down.
