Gillis is a tool and we’re fucked. Seriously, I know how Toronto fans feel now.

Lookin forward to Tavares?

MC says:
ARE YOU HAPPY????

[Note: I don't actually know what this was about. I'm assuming I was getting a drunken message, much like the one I left him 4 weeks ago, though for a very different reason.]

I’M SO DEPRESSED I’M DRINKING

I said, “Hey, how’s it going?”

“WE’RE FUCKED,” said Shawn as a greeting.

Three friends crammed into our secret drinking spot at UBC, clinking our bottles of Granville Island beer together in a salute to Markus Naslund.

Fan-fucking-tastic.

Every time I check my phone or e-mail, it’s more ANGER.

The latest? Markus Naslund signs a 2-year, 8-million-dollar deal with NYR.

Before that?

• Baumgartner signs.

• Curtis Sanford signs.

• Ryan Johnson signs.

• Kyle Wellwood picked up from waivers.

Great depth signings—but we’re not at the stage right now where we have the luxury of signing for depth.

You know what would be nice? How about a winger for the twins? But wait, Hossa’s now signed with the Wings. How about a legit top 6 centre? Except that Sundin’s not in and Demitra, widely tipped to be pretty much a sure thing to sign in Vancouver, still isn’t signed to anywhere.

I’m trying to breathe here, but the Canucks aren’t giving me anything.

I’m starting to be reminded of the “glory” “days” of Keenan and Messier and trainwrecks. When your captain, the one person I thought would be a sure signing, cuts and runs for greener pastures, you know there are troubles ahead. He knew Gillis very well, so this isn’t a vote of confidence for the way the man is steering the ship.

Like a friend said to me today, maybe Naslund knew that Gillis would make a terrible GM. BECAUSE HE’S AN AGENT WITHOUT A BACKGROUND IN LAW.

Of course, it’s too early to declare doom. I’m just saying—Gillis is slowly starting to run out of options. But then again, maybe this is the “successful” team that Aquilini had in mind. Except you’re alone on that one, Francesco.

Watching the football shootout between Spain and Italy, I suddenly had a craving to watch this video, which is a damn classic and was a fun-as-hell Christmas treat.

With Hodgson’s wicked wrist shot, high hockey IQ, and clutch ability he’s anything BUT another Nathan Smith.

Let’s just hope we don’t find Hodgson running down Granville at 2 am naked in two years… then we’ll be sure he’s not another Nathan Smith
