Bonus: Major Extreme Super-Adorable Cutie Pie
He's young. He's fast. He's playing in the NHL All-Star Game. And he's only 18!! By now you might have guessed that I'm talking about Jeff Skinner, Major Extreme Super-Adorable Cutie Pie Extraodinaire, and deemed by the highest authority (me) the Smiliest Smiler in the NHL. I already chose the HHOTW yesterday, so I couldn't pick Jeff. But he doesn't really count as a hottie anyway. He's 18 but he looks like he's 12, maybe 14. He smiles all the time and when he does, his eyes kinda crinkle up and he has such a cute smile!! And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for a while... Haha. Besides, how can you call a guy who looks like this, a hottie. Omigosh he's so CUTE!!

5 Guys in the NHL Whom I Strongly Dislike
Most guys in the NHL are quite nice. I don't have a problem with them. But some guys just really... There's three things I hate. Ego, ego, and ego. Here are, in no particular order, 5 guys whom I strongly dislike.
Alex Ovechkin: Firstly, he's good. Secondly, he knows it. Thirdly, he shows it. I mean seriously, the hot stick routine?? He deserves to be taken down a peg or two. Are we en route to another playoff choke? Team Russia failure perhaps?
Dustin Byfuglien: Firstly, he's good. Secondly, he knows it. Thirdly, he's good against the Canucks. Plus he taunts the fans. My only comfort is that he's good down in Atlanta, where nobody's ever heard of hockey and they have to resort to mascot imprisonment gimmicks to get fans to come to the games. Take that, Dustin ByFUGLYien!! (How does that make "Bufflin" anyway?)
Patrick Kane: If there was a movie title that summed up this guy's life it would be Dumb and Dumber. The best quote I read recently was, "Some hockey players wear their hearts on their sleeves. Patrick Kane wears his IQ on his chest." What I'm trying to say here is, Kane is dumb. And he thinks he's hot. And he's ugly. And I strongly dislike him.
Anze Kopitar: Look at him. Look at him!! The guy's a fricken rapist!! Or maybe just a member of the Russian mafia. Oh wait, he's not Russian, he's Slovenian. Hey, who cares about that teeny country anyway? Anyways, just one look at this guy scares the crap out of me. Or, as I like to call him, Anze Kopitard.
Ilya Kovalchuk: I can't even explain how much I hate this guy. He (and the NHL) made such a big, fat, hairy deal about this whole retarded free agent thing. He goes the the NJ Devils which fills up pretty much all of their cap space for the next 20 years. Then he goes and plays like crap. What a jerk.
Well, there you are. Here's a few with honourable mention:
Tim Thomas
Ryan Miller
Henrik Zetterberg
Pavel Datsyuk
Antti Niemi
Phil Kessel
Vesa Toskala
Tomas Holmstrom
Anybody on the Detroit Red Wings...

Hockey Hottie of the Week
Today's Hockey Hottie of the Week is... one of these two guys!! Okay, so you've probably narrowed it down to the one on the right, am I right? Now, you're on the edge of your seat in suspense for me to tell you who it is!! Hehehe. Okay, I'll tell you. It's Patrik Berglund of the St. Louis Blues (heck, I can't do all Canucks) and I couldn't crop that retard TJ Oshie's face out of the picture with out sacrificing some of Patty's beautiful face, too. Oooh, now that that's done, I think next week I'm gonna do someone who was at the ASG. I saw some hotties yesterday at the Skills Comp. By the way, Daniel ended up winning the accuracy shooting competition, while Henrik and Kesler were out of luck. Team Staal cleaned up. Anyways, that's today's HHOTW. Tune in next Sunday!

ASG and other random ponderings
Okay, so I'm really disappointed there's no Hockey night in Canada tonight, even if I'd just be watching Toronto suck balls as their fans threw waffles on the ice for another week in a row. Seriously, they're on HNIC every freaking week. I hate it. But whatever, I still need my weekly hockey fix as my parents haven't listened to my pleadings for Sportsnet and/or TSN.
The All-Star Game will still be fun to watch though. I know, everyone disses it because it's not a real game, but you know, it's more like, for fun. Guys can try crazy stuff and if it fails, nobody rips them. They'll just laugh and it's a funny memory. Skills comp should be pretty sweet too. There's always lotsa laughs there. If there was a category for passing, the Sedins would be money on that one. Too bad. Btw: Sedins are on opposite teams for the first time ever, and there was a little bitta trash-talk... :o!! GASP!! The guys on Team 1040 think that the Sedins will be absolutely useless without each other, but I don't know about that. Sure they won't be as good without one another, but how could such good players be useless when separated? The only disadvantage will be that eerie twin telepathy will be missing. Although, who knows, they might still be able to use it and send trash-talking messages to each other. Hey Henrik, you're going down! Hey Daniel, you're talking to the defending league MVP here! Hah. Should be interesting, I'd love to see them get into a fight or hit each other, but in the interview on NHL.com, Henrik said he didn't want to hurt Daniel. Aww, he's so nice!
Anyways, just a reminder about HHOTW, the second ever Hockey Hottie of the Week award will be announced tomorrow!! I will give away no hints!!

My first Canucks game
On Wednesday, January 26th I went to my first NHL game. Canucks vs. Predators. I'll break down the game for you.
- First of all, pre-game warm-up was AMAZING. I went down to ice level and watched the players. They were SO hot. Bieksa, Raymond, Kesler... the list of hotties goes on. I only wish Sergei Shirokov had been in the lineup.
- The first two periods were rather boring, I must say. Nashville had the better chances and the refs kept on calling penalties on us for the smallest little hook or hold. They didn't, however, call even a penalty when Raymond was taken down on a partial breakaway. (Should've been a penalty shot.)
- I got pretty worried when the Preds scored immediately in the 3rd period. Here I was thinking, "This is a low-scoring game so we're probably going to get shut out."
- Then, MayRay missed an open net but Burrows scored on a rebound. The crowd was suddenly back into the game.
- About 2 minutes later the Canucks were entering the zone when Daniel Sedin passed to an unknown player. He shot it and scored to give us a 2-1 lead!! The crowd was so insane, it was awesome.
- The unknown player turned out to be the new call-up, Lee Sweatt, in his first NHL game, scoring his first NHL goal, on his first NHL shot, and it turned out to be his first NHL game-winning goal. He was so excited!!

Hockey Hottie of the Week
I'm depressed. The Canucks lost to the Flames in shootout on a questionable goal after having a power play in overtime. Our power play lately SUCKS!! But I'm here to brighten up your day. Drumroll please... it's now time for the much-anticipated... Hockey Hottie of the Week!!
For the first ever HHOTW award, I've chosen Mason Raymond. He does not get enough credit for how hot he really is. Sure he's a bit girly. Whatever. He's awesome, and if you think he's not hot then get a load of this pic. Wow. Look at that cute little crooked smile, I love it when hockey players do that!! Sure, he hasn't scored in what, 12 games now? Who cares, because Mason Raymond is the first Hockey Hottie of the Week.

Hockey Hotties!!!
Ok, so we all know that hockey is full of hot guys. (Back in the 80's though... mullets anyone?) That's no surprise. I mean, what's not hot about playing on ice? But since I'm a teenage girl... I might just appreciate it a little more than most people. So I'm going to start a weekly thing. (Yeah that's right. A thing.) Every week I'm going to select a Hockey Hottie of the Week. On Sunday, because I have no school and then I have enough time to post it. And on Monday, you can look at it and not be depressed!! (Well, maybe that's too much to hope for Monday. Maybe, it can just bring a spark of joy into your heart?) And yes, I KNOW, no one follows this blog yet. I think I'm probably the only one who's ever seen it, but hey, if you're out there in cyberspace reading this, give me a shout, kay? (It would make my day.) And maybe, just maybe, some fans from Facebook will come check this out. Welcome, and hope you appreciate the sexy hotness of hockey players!!

Starting Off...
Ok, just starting off here... this blog is about Canucks, hockey, and life in general from the perspective of a teenage girl. (No, I'm not boy crazy, yes, I am Canuck crazy!!) I figure this is a rather good time to start a Nucks blog, seeing as they're having a franchise season in their 40th year of existence. The Canucks have never won the Stanley Cup, but I'm hoping that will change quite soon. (Say, maybe around June??) And with the roster filled with superstars like the Sedin twins, Kesler, Burrows, and Luongo in net, it's not too much to hope!! (I hope.) The fans in this city are pretty crazy about this hockey team. (For us it's pretty much Cup or bust. Expectations a little high?) But I know for sure that nobody would be calling Team 1040 to complain that Luongo didn't show for his 3 Stars nomination after the Cup-clinching game. Face it, this city would go bonkers. I would go bonkers!! (If I hadn't already from died from a heart attack while watching the playoffs.) Anyways, this Cup talk may be just crazy talk. I don't wanna get my hopes up too high!! Welcome to Canucks Life and I'm crossing my fingers!!
