It's like that ex-gf who has hurt you a few times and she shows up one day with some new "enhancements" and you don't want to look at or talk to her but you can't help yourself.

The Canucks are playing so well I have even considered paying for Sportsnet.  The Bruins and the Rangers are starting out well too.  This parade is planning itself.  Now, to get through the 80% of the season.

Sportsurge.net and adblockers. 

paying for stuff is for suckers.

The hero we needed!

Nhlwebcast.com works well too

Today the Canucks aquired Nikita  Zaborov from Calgary.  I don't know much about him.  Is he going to make a difference on the defensive end of the game?  IMO that's an area they could use some help on.

Glass cannons getting some backup!? There may be reason to stay delusionally optimistic yet

Zadorov has an amazing ability to initiate solo offensive rushes, has a surprisingly good wrister (not afraid to use it), he's good at muscling people out of the play, and he can absolutely FLATTEN guys. His defense game probably tops out at "adequate", and he's prone to give-aways, being caught out of position and taking bad penalties. A defenseman with a very rare set of tools, but I'd say he doesn't quite have the hockey sense to use it all super effectively. As a Calgary guy, I've watched and mostly liked him, over the last few years. Side note: he doesn't shy away from speaking publicly against the war back home, which I like.

He sounds a bit like Ed Jovanovski.  I loved Eddie, he was strong offensively and threw his weight around but he was frustratingly talented at turnovers.  He would consistently shoot the puck directly into his opponent's pads and watch as it bounced past him and set the other team up for a breakaway.  Still, I would take a Jovocop 2.0 any day of the week.

Best description I've heard is: "He's an adventure".  Whether it's a positive or negative, it pretty much always stands true.

Seems fitting to have two chaos giraffes on the same defensive pairing.
