This whole “don’t drink the water” thing is Metroblogging gold. You still shouldn’t be brushing your teeth with the water or drinking it but seriously, you CAN wash your hands. We were out Friday night and 3 women in the ladies room with me got right out of the stall, headed to the paper towels […]

With Canada’s largest ever boil-water warning in effect [gvrd], trees toppling down on to houses and power outages gallore, we braved the storm [mbv] in Vancouver while our Canucks did not-so-good on the ice this past week. We discuss it all on Episode 7 of The Crazy Canucks podcast. Even though the last few games […]

The old vintage jerseys look great on TV. Lately, fans have been obsessed with the soothing blue and the crisp green of the 70s era Canucks uniforms [audihertz]. They were brought back a couple of years ago when the league was having flashbacks. You’d catch original six teams playing each other in their old colours […]

We’re all hopped up with the launch of the shiney new Canucks.com this week, and our listing in the Fan Forum > Links section [canucks.com]. With a late recording time (due to my work schedule), technical issues and not enough beer to go around, we get this one off the ground thanks to the patience […]

I took the helm this time around and we were missin’ Dave-O somethin’ fierce. We giggled a lot, I think he keeps us in line. We go ‘Dave-less’ this episode as Alanah, JJ, John and Rebecca bring you this week’s discussion. The Ovechkins Capitals were in town on Friday and JJ shares his experience being […]

Corporate-named arenas are in abundance in the NHL. Sometimes we think we have it bad with General Motors Place aka The Garage, but ya know, it’s one of the better ones out there. As of yesterday, Jobing.com – a career search site based in Arizona, put up the 3 mil (annually) needed to purchase the […]

We went for a walk the other day and John said, “I miss this smell.” Ocean mist, damp technicolour trees, ribbons of smoke in the air from someone burning leaves in their yard… welcome to Fall. Today, 24 Hours featured a couple pumpkin patches around Vancouver. I’m glad I made asked Jenny to write her […]

Number three already! John and I have been so busy lately, especially with the concert last night that left us very sleep deprived. Despite missing the last part of yesterday’s game, which was apparently a snoozer anyway, we got the gang together for this week’s episode of The Crazy Canucks podcast. Everybody’s here for this […]

I did a wishy washy pre-game post on Metblogs earlier today – not knowing what would happen tonight, just hoping something would. And it did. The game ending in a bit of a scrum, with Burrows in the thick of it with Willie to the rescue, it was evident tonight that we do have talented […]
