In a serious case of déjà vu, it took more than overtime for the Canucks to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets and salvage the road trip.
I wonder how fans feel about that?
Is it bad that I’m relieved about a win over the Blue Jackets? #Yikes #Canucks

Oh my.
Mired in a 3-game losing slump, the Canucks called a team meeting prior to facing the Minnesota Wild on Sunday night. Did it work?
So they don’t take an early penalty, but give up an early goal. Brutal. #Canucks down 1-0 just 24 seconds in. #TGATT

Ummm…
Much like the Canucks had problems getting going against the Columbus Blue Jackets, we had some technical difficulties of our own.
#TGATT is a day late, but don’t worry, it promises to be more exciting than the game itself.
Is anybody awake watching this game? Zzzzzzzzzzzzz…….. #tgatt #canucks

Well, anyway, let’s just get to it.
The Canucks are back home against the San Jose Sharks, looking to bounce back after a loss to the Calgary Flames on Sunday.
There’s lots of baby talk prior to this game – baby honey badgers, baby Hansens, and now, baby Burrows.
Burrows welcomed a baby girl a day after Hansen had twin boys. Seems like the #Canucks had some time on their hands last June. #TGATT

I suppose we can thank the Kings for that circumstance, but for now, let’s go to the game.
After dominating the Kings last night, the Canucks play the second of their weekend back-to-back against the Calgary Flames. That is if they ever make it to the arena.
In goal, it’s the Battle of the Backups: Roberto Luongo for the Canucks and Danny Taylor with his first ever home start for the Flames.
Taylor V Luongo? Is that even fair? #TGATT

As it turns out, it was more fair than we anticipated.
In a grudge match of sorts, the Canucks host the Los Angeles Kings for the first time since the Kings eliminated them in the first round of last year’s playoffs.
Opened a beer. Now THIS is a game. THIS I’ve missed. #playlikewinners #playlikechampions #TGATT @canucksgame

Hockey, check. Beer, check. Here we go.
Has everyone recovered from the Canucks’ 8-3 meltdown in Detroit on Sunday afternoon? How about from their Oscar hangovers? I hope so, we have a Phoenix game to watch!
Just before the puckdrop, it’s my dog Eddie’s 6th birthday. He’s getting a pregame nap in… #TGATT #Canucks twitter.com/KentBaskyNM/st…

That is adorable.
It’s an early game in Detroit today. Luckily NASCAR finished on time, so there were no TV conflicts in my house. None of the duct taped cars won, so I was pretty disappointed.
Now THIS is what I call an afternoon delight! #Canucks #Redwings #TGATT #VancouverCanucks #GetGlue getglue.com/sports/nhl/van…

Welcome to Dallas, Texas, where everything is bigger. None bigger than Brett Hull’s skate.
Tonight, the Stars celebrate Marty Turco. Canucks fans have fond memories of him.
Marty Turco. The man who shut out the #canucks three times in one playoff series and still lost.

Coming off back-to-back losses, the Canucks travel to Chicago to face their rival Blackhawks.
I hope everyone got off work in time, because this game is not waiting for you. Seriously, they’re not waiting for anyone, not even Eddie Lack.
Oh, great. Slacking already… RT @eddielack: @canucksgame on my way stuck in traffic haha!

Of course, we had to invite Mr. Lack to #TGATT fun.
@canucksgame @eddielack This is gonna be legen-wait for it-dary! @lizzmoffat may just get some of your tweets in #TGATT.

Glad you asked. Read on and check it out.
