Canucks 5-4 in OT with Calgary & Nonis in Vancouver

I hope the Canucks ate in last night because someone would have spit into their food after last night's slap to Calgary. After seeing that Bertuzzi hit on whoever that was, I totally agree that the dive should've been called too. It was an exciting game though.. which is more than I can say for games of 2007-08.

Did you know that Dave Nonis came up for the season opener to pay respects to Luc Bourdon's family? I'm sorry he got so shafted. He has my full respect. Here's a snippet from Greg Douglas' article in the Vancouver Sun:
"There was strong evidence of sadness in the eyes of Dave Nonis with his return to GM Place Thursday night. The emotional tribute to Luc Bourdon obviously weighed heavily on the former Canucks' general manager who made Bourdon a first-round pick at the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. Now the senior adviser of hockey operations in Anaheim, Nonis surfaced unannounced to spend time with Bourdon's mom and loved ones earlier in the day.."

  • The Bourdon and Cherepanov accidents are tragic, for their families and the NHL. The question is whether these accidents can be prevented in the future. Maybe better testing on the NHL's part for the Cherepanov situation and educating the players (youngsters) on dangerous activities such as motorcycle etc... Just seems like more should/can be done to prevent tragedies like these from occuring in the future.... My thoughts. http://jib-sports-culture.blogspot.com/2008/11/tragedy-for-promising-rookies.html
