Desperately Seeking Mats

There's been yet another resurgence of interest in Mats Sundin in Lotusland recently, as rumours and reports around the web have breathlessly described his undergoing a physical in Toronto, being in attendance at a Canucks game in Buffalo, starting training in LA, and showing up at a Canucks game with the Kings.

I don't know if he'll sign with Vancouver, I don't even know if he will play this season at all. I do know, though, that somewhere, someone is pining for Mats to join the Canucks. This song is for them.

Sundin
(to the tune of Something)

Sundin and the way he moves
Attracts me like no other forward
Something in the way he woos me
I don't want to leave him now,
You know I believe and how.

Somewhere in his smile he knows
That we have tons and tons of cap space
Something in his quotes that shows me.
I don't want to leave him now,
You know I believe and how.

You're asking me will my love grow,
I don't know, I don't know.
Hey, Gillis, sign him, he will show,
I don't know, I don't know.

Sundin is the answer, and he knows
And all we have to do is wait for him
Sundin is "the one", he'll show me
I don't want to leave him now,
You know I believe and how.

Game 1

What a game.

A moving tribute to Luc Bourdon.

Luongo introduced as team captain.

Offensive contributions from all over the roster.

"Team" exhibited throughout the game, as players came to each other's support.

A 6-0 spanking of the Canucks' fiercest rivals.

Bring on Game 2!

This is it!

It's "the night"!

Thirty-eight years have passed since the puck first dropped on a brand-new Vancouver Canucks NHL season, and tonight it happens again. All the excitement, joy, exhiliration (and rage!) that accompanies being a Canucks fan starts up again for a new season.

I thought that it might be entertaining to come up with a theme song for tonight -- kind of a musical introduction to the year. Here's what I found on YouTube:



Hm, well I hope the Canucks perform better than good old Environment Man!

Game on!
