Mr. Mooney, sir:
As Winston Churchill ...16/1/11<br /><br /><br /><br />Mr. Mooney, sir:<br /><br />As Winston Churchill whimsically observed, “A preposition is a poor word to end a sentence with.” I’ m certain you understand. Appropriate sentence structure, the sign not only of the educated man but also of the conscientious writer, is essential to the sophistication of your excellent blog. Thus you shall (Note the correct imperative usage of shall.) not write, “It depends on what you are comparing it to,” but rather state, “It depends on to what you are comparing it,” thereby creating the adverb prepositional phrase on to what you are comparing it modifying the verb depends and having as the object of the preposition on the noun clause to what you are comparing it which in turn has the adverb prepositional phrase to what modifying the verb comparing. Avoid separating the preposition from its object. Doing so is only slightly less sinful than divorce, unless you think like Churchill that there is a time for everything. Maybe what should end its relationship with to and consider an engagement with with. When you’ve a need to know....<br /><br />MadwagAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748120234252907284.post-233628103805563372011-01-17T11:38:47.018-08:002011-01-17T11:38:47.018-08:00I'm sure the team will be watching video of th...<i>I'm sure the team will be watching video of this sequence, as they looked slow, inept, and out of sync, and Minnesota made them look stupid.</i><br /><br />Ideally sped up and synched to the <i>Benny Hill</i> theme. With at least one slide-whistle.<br /><br />The reality is that both the Canucks' strong play and weaker play now could have been (and were, by many) easily foreseen based on their schedule. All we can hope is that the "neutral" team resembles the one that was putting such boot to rump before.J21http://offthepost.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748120234252907284.post-72431553660345949202011-01-17T11:13:44.340-08:002011-01-17T11:13:44.340-08:00Ahhh Blanka and Chun Li those are interesting choi...Ahhh Blanka and Chun Li those are interesting choices, I myself am a Ken diehard.

Having said that though, I find myself wondering whether other winning teams, the Detroit Red Wings for example, are instantly subjected to such microscopic analysis when they lose mid-season games. Because they do. Regularly. At this point in time they have lost one more game than the Canucks have. Yet, at the end of the year, there they are in the playoffs and will be chosen by a good many pundits to hoist the cup again. Is there growing panic in the Motor City? Do we hold our favourites to an unrealistically high expectation. As I say, others teams lose skirmishes and even battles but perhaps other fan bases wait to see who wins the war before passing judgment. Or is it that we have just been Canucks fans for too long?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2748120234252907284.post-43347355070418673032011-01-17T10:59:07.554-08:002011-01-17T10:59:07.554-08:00Canucks have a tendency to take a massive dump in ...Canucks have a tendency to take a massive dump in Minnesota lately.
