Lukowich's goal was a thing of beauty. Daniel Sedin had something to do with it.

Well the Canucks won again. 3 -2

Brad Lukowich got the winning goal and the Sedins got a couple points each. Samuelsson got a goal in the second.

great game, these two teams play quite like each other,
hard checking, end to end hard hockey, and two very good
goalies, and lots of forwards who 'can' score at anytime.

Yeah, what can anyone say about that pass from daniel,
sweet, and lukowitch was so excited after that goal,
he was jabbering about it for a long time on the bench.

St. Louis defeated calgary tonight, and they will be here
on Wednesday.

It was a thing of beauty. The timing was absolutely perfect.. I wish the league had a balanced schedule. We hear about how good Crosby and others are back east but eastern sports reporters don't say a thing about Daniel and Heinrich Sedin. These are two of the best, if not the best hockey players in the world and only we know about them.

I was listening to some eastern so-called hockey chat
guys talking about two weeks ago, and then asked.
"Who do you think will win the scoring title:

ovetchkin, crosby or gaborik, end of story.

where does it all end? the mason dixon line?

Gee. At the moment Hank is six points up on Ovetchkin and nine points up on Crosby and Thornton. Gaborik is fifteen points back and I think Hank is pulling ahead. Hell, by the time the scoring race is settled, brother Daniel will probably be in the thick of things.

I hope they can keep it going. St Louis is next and they're always a tough game it seems.

If the scoring race stays close I think ovetchkin has the
advantage, 'because', in the last group of games, at the
end of the season when everyone plays within their own
conference and division, the east has so many bad teams,
ovetchkin will be able to pile up the points, but hank,
playing in his own conference/division, won't have it
quite so easy.
The east has trouble playing the west, they pick up all
of their wins playing each other.

Last 9 games for the caps. Apart from the Pens and Detroit (if they get healthy). Ovie should be able to pile up points against all these teams.

Anybody want to bet that Henri won't get two or three points in the next game. I wouldn't.

I wouldn't either.

I hope canucks pick up their 'away' record starting with
this trip, as it hasn't been very good this season, so now
is time to improve in that catagorie, we have so many games away starting
saturday, by the time they get home, 'home' will seem like
away. lol

I shouldn't be quite so confident. The Canucks have a brutal road trip that seems completely unfair. The following is the first half of that road trip:

Feb. 2 Canadiens
Feb. 4 Senators
Feb. 6 Bruins
Feb. 9 Lightening
Feb 11 Panthers
Feb. 12 Blue Jackets
Feb 14 Wild

What are you talking about #Juan? They've beat all those teams at one time or another. I thought they had a game soon against the Maple Laughs.

I was thinking more about the traveling and a game about every second night and this is only the first half of the road trip. They will do well to finish the trip over five hundred. I could be wrong....;-):lol:

our first game of this road trip is in toronto on Sat.
night, and it is part of the 'hockey day in canada',
celebration.

The one thing about this, is that once they are there, the travel between
cities isn't that bad, and it gives everyone a taste of 'what' the eastern teams
road trips are like, they usually get back home to their own beds after each
trip, poor babies, and their conference still 'sucks'. lol
