Unlike Burrows, who gave up his ball playing and leisure time to get in shape for this season. I'm surprised the Canucks organization gave him the second chance to get his shit in order. For them to put him on waivers now means they were not impressed by his dedication. Playing on a line and finding some magic may be good, but what happens when things get tough? He'd be the first one to call it quits. He has potential, but I think the work ethic is not there, and when your team is trying to focus on energy and excitement, he doesn't fit in. Just my opinion........

forget about call ups and waivers... does anyone think that this might be the early stages of something bigger? teams dont usually put players through waivers unless they're really going to benefit from it.

Right now we have 24 players with Nicolayt back from IR, so we had to send someone down to make the 23 limit.

What a stupid penalty by Mitchell. How the fuck do you miss a 10 foot wall to bank the puck for a clear? Considering the amount of time he had to clear too.

There's Pyatt taking another dumb penalty against Buffalo, then coming out of the box fully rested and skating half-assedly in on a 2-on-1 with Daniel Sedin and taking some limpass shot 5 feet wide of the net. I'm sure Wellwood would have been much slower and lazier in the same situation.

Mitchell had time to cradle the puck back and forth before releasing that shot to clear. Why not aim mid-level on the boards rather than the high end of the glass. Or is he really that bad of a shot? Which I seriously think is true on so many levels.

Wow, just came home, turn on the TV. and this is the garbage I see?
The only good thing I can see is that I found out Sanford started, and Luongo wasn't yanked.

Which I seriously think is true on so many levels. | Without high def to confirm, I have to rely on what someone on-site says they saw, and Tom's diagnosis was that the puck went up on edge the instant before Willie shot it. If he had his stick on the ice, angled a little bit to lift the puck up and off the boards, then the puck flipping up on edge would naturally get a much steeper angle by having the stick slice under the curve of it, just like a golf wedge.
Since Tommy's explanation makes perfect sense, and he's in a better position to have a clear view than you are, I choose to accept his call and tell you you're full of shit.
