Sounds reasonable. Get four or five D-men that will collectively block 28-30 shots a game.
seems he was out on his next shift, or the shift after.
did you find that info somewhere, that he broke his nose, if so I would
like to see it.
I looked into anaheim web site, they have no mention of his nose being broken at
all, the only thing they mention is visnovsky breaking his finger on a canuck
shot, and he will be out of the lineup for a few weeks.
he was obviously jolted by the shot, down on his knees, but no blood on the ice,
if his nose had of been broken, by that hard hit, he would have been gushing blood.
I need proof of that statement, then I will be happy to agree.

In the last game Luongo faced 41 shots while the Canucks could only manage
half that many against Hillier. Those new D-men might have to stop a few more...:smile:
It might be simpler to put a sheet of plexiglas accross
the front of the net.
It was the other way around Wayne. The Canucks had more shots on Hillier in the third period than the Ducks got all game.
But you can never be too careful. Maybe Schneider can play defense while wearing his full set of goalie pads.
Preview Canucks return home to host struggling Isles ----John Kreiser - NHL.com Columnist
Season Series: This is the only meeting between the teams this season. They met just once in 2010-11, with the Canucks winning 4-3 in a shootout on Jan. 11 at the Nassau Coliseum. The Islanders won the last time they came to Vancouver, beating the Canucks 5-2 on March 16, 2010, as then-rookie John Tavares had a five-point night.
Big Story: The Canucks are back home after a 3-3-0 road trip in which the ups and downs were symbolized by Friday's 4-3 loss at Anaheim. Vancouver allowed the Ducks to score four unanswered goals in the second period, then roared back with three goals on 22 shots in the third, only to come up one goal short in a 4-3 loss. The Islanders, already last in the Eastern Conference, are wrapping up a three-game trip that has seen them go 0-1-1, including a 4-3 OT loss at Colorado on Thursday.
Team Scope:
Islanders: The Isles were 21 minutes from their first road win this season when things started to go horribly wrong in Colorado. They led 3-0 until Paul Stastny scored during a 5-on-3 power-play goal in the final minute of the second period. Milan Hejduk and Jan Hejda beat Al Montoya in the third and Kyle Quincey connected for the OT winner on a power play.
The Avs wound up with 51 shots on goal as the Isles spent almost all of the third period trying to fend off waves of Colorado attackers.
“When you get a couple goals scored on you, you tend to seize up and that’s what we did," forward Brian Rolston said. "We weren’t a confident group after they scored their second goal. That’s the time when we need to be confident and make confident plays with the puck. We didn’t do that. That’s something that needs to be stressed.”
Evgeni Nabokov is expected to start for the Islanders, who are still juggling three goaltenders.
Canucks: Vancouver's up-and-down season can be summarized by the loss at Anaheim -- a mediocre period, a horrible period and a brilliant period. Down 4-0 entering the final 20 minutes, the Canucks totally dominated the Ducks but ran out of time.
"In the third period, we played the way we should play and showed how good we can be," said forward Daniel Sedin said. "In the first two periods, we weren't good enough. We should play the whole game like we did in the third period."
Who's Hot: Michael Grabner, a Calder Trophy finalist last season, has goals in both games on the trip. … Daniel Sedin has seven points in Vancouver's last three games; twin brother Henrik has five.
Injury Report: Islanders rookie Nino Niederreiter is almost ready to return from a groin injury that has kept him out since the end of training camp. Otherwise, the Isles are healthy -- a big change from last season when they lost nearly 600 man-games to injury. … Vancouver is still without forward Mason Raymond (back), and forward Andrew Ebbett has a fractured foot.
Stat Pack: The Islanders are 0-3-2 on the road, the second time in three seasons they've gone without a victory in their first five games away from home. New York is 1-5-3 since starting the season 3-1-0.
Puck Drop: “.500 hockey is not good enough for this group. We need to be better, we need to be better 5-on-5, that’s definitely an area right now that we need to address with our group. There are some signs, but we need to get this going here.” -- Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault

FULL TEAM STATS
The Islanders were better than I thought they would be tonight and didn't embarrass themselves too badly.
they were much better the last half of last season, they looked like a team on their way to respectability,
but this year they don't look like that, at least not yet, they did not continue the same play that
they finished with last year.
grabner had a good game, but he came here to show the team who traded him they made a mistake, a common
thing of players who play for ex teams.
he isn't having the season he had last year, but maybe he will get better.
their game was OK, not great, but no team is bad enough to be blown out of the water any more, all
teams are fairly close, anyone can defeat anyone at any given time. consistency is the key.
No suspension for Canucks' Aaron Rome over head hit on Ducks' Smith-Pelly
"The Canucks defenceman was assessed a five-minute major for elbowing and a game misconduct at 11:04 of the second period for the hit that left Smith-Pelly bleeding from a broken nose."
I fail to see why you question me on hockey matters as it has been shown that I'm right at least 99.9% of the time.
That is a CROCK, she watches virtually every televised game. Your credibility continues to wane!
So do I. That doesn't make anybody an expert. I would say that your credibility continues to wane but you've never really had any.
This past spring I declared that the Canucks would not win the Stanley Cup (I had very good reason to think that). Not one single Canucks fan bothered to ask why. Instead they just attacked me personally. Hands down the least knowledgeable fans in Canada. It's no wonder you guys think Talloola knows so much.
I coached minor hockey, up to Junior "B" for a dozen years. I played commercial hockey for another ten years. I don't watch
all the games but I think I have a comfortable knowledge of the game. Talloola has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the game that is more than most people I know.

Nonsense. Rome hits a guy in the face and breaks his nose and your "expert" calls it a borderline call. You people keep proving my point. Nucks fans are the worst...LOL. Perhaps if your "expert" didn't routinely make a fool out of herself your comments about her supposed knowledge might not be so funny.
rome didn't hit him in the face, or break his nose, and he wasn't given any fine or suspension,
which he would have been given if what you said happened, did happen.
you still didn't give me the source of that information about the broken nose.
what is it.
i could never go thru life as angry as you, poor you.
maybe you missed your meds this morning. lol

Yep, a confident (and competent) person, makes his statement and lets it go at that! :smile:
I kind of thought he was talking about game 1 against Boston where he got the suspension for the rest of the playoff games. NO?
