Recap: 12/1/2006 Canucks vs Vipers

Some may call the Canucks cocky, but the reality is – we’re just really good. Another game, another victory. The Canucks hit the road to Skyway arena and spent the night beating up a brood of Vipers, en route to a glorious 7-1 win. The team jumped onto the ice with anticipation of a quick easy game against a team that keeps on forgetting to pack in a little skill in their hockey bags.

The first period was all the team really needed as three quick goals by Mike, James, and Dan sealed the deal. The puck rarely came over the center line into the Canucks zone, as the Canucks played a physical game punishing the Viper players if even the notion of a chance came into their heads. In the second period the team ended up with some fantastic passing plays but only Mike managed to get one by the Viper goalkeeper. The Vipers got a goal too, but we won’t talk about that little lapse. By the time the 3rd period rolled around, the Vipers team seemed to be wishing they were at home tucked into their beds, as the Canucks had continual control of the play throughout the period. Three more incredible goals were scored by James, Joel, and Wade to bring the night’s total to 7. Not a bad performance boys…

A big thanks to Gord Vandergriendt for coming out and standing between the pipes while Chris was out partying in Mexico. Maybe next time we’ll give you a magazine or something to read while we’re in the in the opposition’s zone for 10 minutes straight.

This week’s video is fantastic. The film work done by Lor is almost approaching the level of skill seen only in such greats as Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, or Francis Ford Coppola. Check it out:
