Rant- Mr Dueck

• Rant - get passionate, stir yourself up, say what’s on your mind and tell it like it is. Rants are great for starting discussion and causing a little controversy - they can also be quite fun if you do it in the right spirit. Just be aware that they can also be the beginnings of a flaming comment thread and often it’s in the heat of the moment when we say things that we later regret and that can impact our reputation the most.



There are several reasons why Mr. Dueck irritates me so much. Mr. Dueck needs to know how to gamble before he makes any deals out in public. He loses probably ninety percent of his bets! Maybe he should stick to the casino! He shouldn't be going off on a rant about how bad the Canucks are and making a comment almost every day about them.To show you how much Mr. Dueck knows about hockey, The Canucks swept St. Louis in four games while his favourite hockey team, The Edmonton Oilers, didn't even make the playoffs, and also the Montreal Canadiens, his second favourite team, got swept out of the playoffs in four straight games! Mr. Dueck maybe needs to do a little bit more studying about hockey before he opens up his mouth!

Review

The Canucks are the best team in the league this season. What makes them so amazing? Well along with having the greatest goalie in the league, they are a strong Canadian team with lots of potential to make it to the playoffs. Their experienced defence allows them to defend their net from their rivals and with a goalie like Luongo they have nothing to worry about. The forwards are rockets out on the ice and work together as a team to score goals to lead them to the top. With a coach like Alain Vigneault, the Canucks are led by a strong and determined man with the qualities of a respectable leader. Fin the mascot is at every game with his head held high and spirits even higher. He has the ability to keep the fans on their toes and their heads in the game. The shiny emerald green,solid navy blue and fresh white make the perfect combination for jerseys. Go Canucks go!
