Wow that was a boring game.

I feel like Hamhuis was the only Dman who knew how to get the shot to the net. Garrison was just swinging his stick around hoping it would hit the net. As powerful as his shots are, he's taking everybody down with it. Hope Hansen wasn't injured by it.

It wasn't the Canuck fault, at least they were forechecking and didn't just whack the puck down the ice at the first sign of any pressure. They actually tried to make plays and were trying to win. Columbus was an embarrassment to the league tonight, as were the officials who let Columbus hook, hold and tackle their way to a single point.

Just another reminder of what a silly cash grab this shortened "season" is. Teams are exhausted from the compressed schedule and it's showing. Season should have been cancelled as soon as it hit December.

Has he injured anyone on our team, hansen seemed fine? He injured stastny i know the other night which was good for us.

He was great tonight if you ask me, was a rock in his own zone again and had a few nice rushes up ice.

Pretty much how I feel. Too much was left uncalled. Dragged the game down into the mud, where CBus wanted to play it.

As much as I was missing hockey, I totally agree with you.

AV should win the jack Adams winning 5 straight with this lineup.


2 weeks ago he was a day away from being fired.


If fans were GMs this team would be a mess and Chris Tanev would play 55 minutes a night.

If were giving av the jack adams for 5 games then schneider gets an automatic vezina along with it.

Oh yeah, Garrison's great defensively! I love that about him so far. It's just his shots are so... random. It's almost pointless to have Burrows in front (or the powerplay in general) if you're not getting the shot through.

I think he injured someone from Columbus tonight, not sure who it was though. He hasn't injured anyone on our team yet, I don't think. Hansen had a close call tonight, and another time in the foot by Garrison's shot. Earlier in the season, he dumped the puck into the zone with a slapshot, but of all places to shoot, he shoots it right at Lapierre's foot, nearly injuring him.:shakehead

Yeah... just a little bit frustrated with that. at least we won tonight!:laugh:

Garrison was an absolute monster tonight defensively. Just beating every Columbus forward to pucks, setting up great breakouts, shooting some bombs at Bobrovsky, and even showing some offensive poise jumping up into the rush.

There were apparently 79 shots directed towards their net. Some were blocked. Other were wide i'm guessing because they were in the lane.

They weren't really blocked due to any sort of sacrifice ala the Rangers. Canucks are quite good at just firing shots into people
