How about them Canucks!

- Start date
I would say giving Chicago (of all teams) four power plays would fall in the realm of "idiots".
Canucks rocking in first 5 minutes! Can they maintain a lead?
And they increased the lead in the second! Boston is no match for them tonight......................so far!
Mathias has hat trick early in the third! All riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!

Yep, lots of action tonight. Boston is badly outplayed....................so far!
Wooooooo 5/2, it doesn't get any better than that. Cow town tomorrow night!
Canucks on the board with goal by Ronalds Kenins - good acquisition from Latvia that boy. One thing for sure, Canucks have the best goalie!
Calgary starting to get a little feisty. Tied at 2 at the end of the 2nd. Miller can only do so much!
Exciting 3rd period Canucks ran out of steam!

Well, they finally solved Minnesota. Mostly Canucks in the 3rd until the last few seconds when it was a little nail biting. Biega got his first goal and game winner.
It just doesn't get any better than that, Hank Sedin pulls the score even and is first star and Burrows and Vrbata score in the shoot out! Canucks have won what is likely the toughest game on the road trip. Playoffs, here they come Whoo Hoo!
I see I got Horvat's numbers backwards last time I was here. Not to worry, he got another goal tonight and it looks like he's going to be a great player. By this time next year the Canucks might be rethinking his contract. I see Mathias got another goal as well. I wish the coach would leave the lines alone.
As far as I'm concerned he can do whatever he likes with the lines as long as they are winning.
yes, that has made desjardin's decisions more difficult, lots of changes in the lines, they win 'becAuse'
of the lines he chooses, eg. the decisions to put out that line with vrbata on defense, brilliAnt,
they controlled the puck for a long time, resulting in a goal, and vrbata was very busy on that shift,
passing with the rest of the forwards.
yes jlm he can change lines any way he decides because he makes good decisions on the fly or between games,
and he also has to deal with players coming in and going out of the lineup.
that is his job, players who are going good in a game will get more ice time over a player not going so
good, and his lines are very balanced, all four lines, and the sedins will benefit from that because
their ice time isn't 'too' much.
kassian watched the game from the press box last night, wonder what he thinks up there, i'm sure they showed him the tape of all of his turnovers game before, he is fine packing the puck into offensive end, but
trying to make that pass out of his own end can be very scary. to me, he seems too 'tight', afraid of
making a mistake, thinking too much, when he learns to relax and just play like he can 'without pressure'
then he will stay in the lineup, he is still young, has lots of upside, hope he can find his game more
consistently, because when he does play a good game, we can see his value to the team.
Bad start and too many injured players killed them. Was hopeful near the end of the third but to no avail. Kassian was probably their star player!
Well, it looks like The Capitals may have the Islanders nicely worn out for the game tomorrow. Nice to play opponents who were beaten in O.T.
