Speaking of the Wild....what a great game last night against the Coyotes. We were ahead 3-2 and then had 2 open net goals to put the nail in the coffin. The Dowd/Brunette/Johnson line kicked some serious ass!
Colorado tomorrow night.
No, no! I was only joking. The Canucks are also very much involved in many levels of the community. Community involvment is a huge requirement to play for Vancouver. They were just at BC Children's Hospital for one of their routine visits, and they're contstantly signing autographs at various Save On Foods in and around Vancouver. They were involved in the Canucks Fan Run, raising money for the Canucks For Kids Fund (just another great organization they're a part of). They also have their annual Telethon, of course, raising money for various children's charities in Vancouver and BC. I'm sure I haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg, but you get the idea!zoney! said:so, what Griffdawg is saying is that all the Canucks are ABOVE making appearances at Canuck's sponsors? The people who pay their salaries?
Meh. Maybe they are toooo elite for something like that.

Michael Griffiths said:It's happened. Mike Comrie has been traded. The Flyers will be even better now. Talk about elite.

Interesting how you scoffed at me earlier in the year for placing them in the "elite" category...
Chizip said:hey griffiths, i have a question for you
what teams do you consider to be elite in the nhl?
Michael Griffiths said:I haven't really thought about it, but off the top of my head the following teams come to mind (in no particular order):
- Ottawa
- Detroit
- Dallas
- Vancouver
- St. Louis
- Philadelphia
- NJ (what a pity)
- Colorado

The irony is he'd still have 61 records if you'd taken away all the record breaking empty net goals, and allowed him to break the record (or get the milestone) with his next non-empty net goal. That's how much he smashed each and every record. He scored his 500th goal by the time he was 25 - which is absurd. It was in his 575th game or somthing ridiculous like that - the fastest ever. It only took him 424 games to reach a 1000 points - just over 5 seasons! His 92 goals smashed the previous record which was 76. His 215 points were 63 more than anyone else had ever done at the time. Talk about smashing records. Let's not even talk about his 163 assists in a season. He scored over 2 assists per game for an entire season, and still scored over 50 goals! That's just freakish. The next guy down (Bobby Orr) had 102 assists. Wow. He has over a 1000 points more than anyone else, and more assists than anyone else has points, while also having the most goals. Anyway, I obviously digress...Chizip said:i guess those records shouldnt really count then since empty net goals dont count according to you
Liar? Enlighten me.Chizip said:puhlease, you forgot to add liar
and you think he respected keenan?
Man, the Lightening just got hammered by the Leafs. Speaking of the Leafs - talk about E-LITE! They're tied for 1st overall I believe. Gary Roberts is on FIRE!Pinball Wizard said:douch?.

Go Lightning!
