Man it is a credit to the Habs organization that they saved him from the dustbin of history.

Youppi is an actual Muppet who was designed by the same guy who created Statler and Waldorf, was the only mascot in MLB history to be ejected from a game for rowdiness, and is just loving awesome and orange.

It's nice that they gave him a roof over his big orange head and all.

But...it's Youppi, man. I don't know. It's not that I want misfortune to befall him, I just want him to sort of...be somewhere else. Somewhere else from wherever my eyes are looking, forever.

I could even tolerate Youppi if he was surrounded by ice girls and the triple low 5 stayed.

And seconding that
"Followed by the PA announcer saying that the player was given "two minutes for douchebaggery, time of the penalty 1:02"

It's been confirmed that the Canucks will be wearing those on March 16th.

There's also a blue version

So the question is are the Canucks going with 3 third jerseys in the future? It seems like an awful expenditure for a one off thing, and why make two versions if it's a one time thing?

Looks sharp though.

I'm pretty sure that blue one is a shop that someone did. Look at the letters, they're still maroon.

As far as I've heard, that uniform set will only be used a couple of times at most in conjunction to ceremonies about professional hockey turning 100 in Vancouver. The main 3rd will still be the stick in the rink.

I see Rochester Americans when I look at the blue one. The red is much better, but if they only go with one I think it'll be the blue one as red isn't in the Canucks colour scheme anymore.

Man I wish the god drat owners could settle on a single look and stick with it forever. Hell, the Colorado Avalanche have stuck with their main logo for 18 years, the Canucks have had about 10 jerseys in that time.

Except if your name is Patrick Marleau. Actually, he bitched the other night when he got called for "tripping" gently caress Corey Perry. I was surprised because he never bitches about penalty calls. Like ever, but he was yapping at the ref pretty good. Then they show the replay and gently caress Corey Perry was diving.

in canucks prospect news here's a thing that makes no sense

why would a 20 year old who is struggling in college hockey get out of college hockey when his only successful year (that got him drafted as an overager) was in a AA jr league? canucks won't sign him yet, he doesn't have a chance of being successful or signed in the AHL so... out of college and into the ECHL?

edit: here's a blog post with more info

i dunno if three dudes in two years is a Big Thing but I didn't know Coyle abandoned them for the CHL so maybe its something on BU's end? help weird american college hockey fans

He hosed up in a manner where making immediate money over continuing his education makes sense to him? Sure it's a brutal mistake but it's not like he'd be the first dumb kid in this world.

e: or something at BU, like you said

e2: or he left a team where he was getting zero minutes to try and find a roster spot somewhere.

Uh, why do you guys hate him so much? The team is 4-3, playing leaps and bounds better defensively and Kadri has even credited Carlyle with giving him the confidence to turn his game around. While I'm not a big fan of his, or think this is currently a playoff team, why so much vitrol towards him before he even has a chance to fail?

If my dealings* with French Canadian ladies is normal, I am very disappointed the Habs don't have ice girls.

Also, Philadelphia has now moved into 2nd in the Seth Jones sweepstakes.

Rangers actually looked pretty good and fast against Philly

The problem isn't that hte Rangers players are slow, but they play some kind of deliberate style for some reason, instead of pushing quickly up ice.
