was reading the jokes thread on the canucks forums and this one made me laugh.

I posted this to cheer up people when we lost.

GIRL'S DIARY

TUESDAY 11th May 2010.

Saw John in the evening and he was acting really strangely. I went shopping in the afternoon with the girls and I did turn up a bit late so I thought it might be that.

The bar was really crowded and loud so I suggested we go somewhere quieter to talk. He was still very subdued and distracted so I suggested we go somewhere nice to eat.

All through dinner he just didn't seem himself; he hardly laughed, and didn't seem to be paying any attention to me or to what I was saying. I just knew that something was wrong.

He dropped me back home and I wondered if he was going to come in; he hesitated, but followed. I asked him again if there was something the matter but he just half shook his head and turned the television on.

After about 10 minutes of silence, I said I was going upstairs to bed. I put my arms around him and told him that I loved him deeply. He just gave a sigh, and a sad sort of smile. He didn't follow me up, but later he did, and I was surprised when we made love.

He still seemed distant and a bit cold, and started to think that he was going to leave me, and that he had found someone else. I cried myself to sleep.





BOY'S DIARY

TUESDAY 11th May 2010.

Canucks lost the series to Hawks 4-2. Got laid though.

I hate to say it but I don't see the Leafs as bottom feeders next season, i'll even go as far and predict that the Leafs will make the playoffs.

Sequin and Knight for Kessel is already bad enough, imagine Leaf nation if Boston gets another top 3 pick from this next year

Bieksa had 8 pts in 12 games as a defenseman while logging the most or 2nd most (next to Edler) ice time on most nights and playing against the other teams' top scoring lines.

Like I said, he makes mistakes, but who doesn't, and who are you going to replace him with at his salary and production? Rather than saying, "he was horrible," maybe you should come up with a better argument. You may not "care" if he scores 40 points a season but you are just being ignorant if you think that doesn't affect the success of our team. You have to replace, or at least offset that somehow.

If Kevin Bieksa is your 5th Dman, at 3.75, he could be traded to get help up front. Of course, depth has been an issue with our blueline so he might stay. I dont think Bieksa is really high up on the trade priority for the canucks, or the asking price is too high for him.

Bieksa gives the puck away as bad as Edler does, his "risk" taking when pinching in has been a liability all season long. the so called "shut down" he brings has been lackluster for 2 seasons now as well.

HOWEVER, with that said, I honestly do not mind him staying with the squad as the 5th option.
