Finally, about the Canucks storyline - had a couple more episodes on the back burner actually ready to go, when community-wide team-spirit suddenly began to sag (understandably of course)...and so I think I'll just let the whole thing slide...here're a few clips that might've made it in: Jim Hughson: "What an incredible comeback the Canucks have engineered this season, Tom! To think - once a faltering team plagued by inconsistent play and shoddy defense, they've now won twenty-five straight games, and can clinch the President's Trophy for best overall record if they can hold on and win tonight's season finale!" *And so, in the third period:* "The Thrashers have really begun to gamble now, trailing by a goal -- let's not forget, they're fighting for their own playoff lives tonight too! Oh my, #3 Sope-Hed turns the puck over in the neutral zone, here's a two-on-one for the Thrashers coming back the other way!! Kovalchuk carries the puck over the line...he fakes a shot, and dishes off to Savard...!  Cloutier: "NOOOOOOO!!!" *crowd gasps* 
McLean: "Don't worry, dude - I got you covered!" Hughson: "GRRREAATT SAVE MCCLOUTIER!!!" *deafening cheers rain down from the stands* Savard: "%*$&@!"  Irate Coach Hartley: "Hey, what the hell?! Too many goalies!!!" Ref: "Hahah, where've you been lately, man? Every player on that team's been fused together, including goalies!" Hartley: "WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? NO THEY AREN'T!!!" *The Thrashers would wind up missing the playoffs by one point* And... *Later in the season, Murlen figures out a way to separate the Canucks players for short periods of time! However, Morrison takes his new-found independence a little too far, and causes a ruckus at a nearby McDonald's restaurant for some reason. He is forced to work off the damage, causing him to miss several crucial games for the Canucks!!*  Morrison: "But I keep telling you, I'm Brendan Morrison of the Vancouver Canucks, look at these hockey cards! C'mon, we have an important playoff game tonight -- I have to be there!!!" Employee: "Haha, sure buddy, and I'm Mario Lemieux's grandma!...Yo, someboday call Ronald, I think we've found ourselves an even bigger clown than he is!" Morrison: "ARGGH!!" *So while the game goes on:*  "Enjoy your sandwich! Thanks for choosing McDonald's! *whispers* By the way, do you know who's winning?!" Manager: "Hey! Get back to work!" Yeah, so I guess that's it. Thanks for reading, everybody - I promise to update more frequently from now on...Take it away, Morrison!  Crew: "Goodbye, everyone!!" |
