Canucks

BC kid Jason Garrison did an interview with News1130 yesterday where he mentioned how much of a “dream come true” it would be to play for the Canucks. But just because Garrison has gone on record saying he wants to play in Vancouver doesn’t guarantee the 16  goal scoring defenseman will be in town come September. On the flip side, it can’t be ruled out either as he does play for the Canucks’ second farm team, the Florida Panthers.

Vancouver Canucks forward is known to be outspoken, especially on twitter. Couple of weeks back he went to twitter to proclaim he’s off to kill a few bruins. At the time many didn’t know what he was talking about. Then later he tweeted an image of him in from of 7 foot black bear that he had just killed. This was all filmed for the upcoming The Edge TV Series. He later tweeted the video.

Our writers have joked around the media circus that surrounds Roberto Luongo these days. We broke a few stories, the jersey shopping one in particular was earth shattering. However, at the end of the day, we at Vancity Buzz don’t want to see Lu go. When and if he does it will be a sad day to see the best goalie in franchise history leave.

Despite reports from TSN and Sportsnet of Roberto Luongo asking for a trade or distributing a list of teams to Mike Gillis, Gillis has refuted such statements on the Team 1040 Thursday morning. 

The Canucks’ loss has finally started to sink in. Their defeat, although different than last year, still tastes the same. But now, there is no bloodcurdling anger or wreckless violence; Instead, depression and a general feeling of hopelessness seems to be this summer’s emotion. And so, with a heavy hand, I soothe-saye the Canucks to the grave, bury the sweater at the back of my closet, and pretend to look forward to dragging it out in September and going through this all over again.

This is Kevin Bieksa  at his best as he impersonates Ryan Kesler. This was the interview after Game 4 in Los Angeles on 4/18/12. Who knew his nickname was “The Guzzler”. Listen as Kevin Bieksa puts one over on Mike Dunsmore of FOX Sports Radio Los Angeles.
