Balls! A game I could watch live without getting zombified in the morning and I'm going to be keeping a sharp eye on my passport as I head through customs in Barcelona.
Boo! Boo, I say!
Boo! Boo, I say!
He does seem to rack in the minus column.. But I've been tracking this guy for a couple years (ever since the Wild almost signed him a couple years ago.) Anyway, the guy definitely has high end offensive talent.
Beneath me [in theDPM], this awful city, it screams like an abattoir full of Pejorative Slured children. And the night reeks of fornication and bad consciences.
I always forget AHLberts is on our roster. Guy stinks. At least we have this new Garrison - Ballard pairing that looks quite good.
8.8 million dollar 3rd pairing FTW.
Have to think Luongo gets the start. I'd like to see Luongo run a few games in a row. He's still in the zone and you can't sit 5-0-3 with a 1.45GAA, .941 SV%, and 2 shutouts. Plain and simple, Luongo is giving us Vezina caliber goaltending right now. Use it.
I would not say Schneider had an excellent game last game that we should have continued to ride.Because it changes day to day. And there's no really consistent, objective measure. Would you not say Schneider had an excellent game last game? Should he not have then been in net this game? After his shut-out should we not have ridden him?
It just seems to me that people are consistently suggesting we 'ride the hot hand' in the face of a more compressed schedule, and where management seems to have a specific plan as to who starts when. Not having a go at you specifically, more the fact that this seems to be mentioned every time either goalie plays well.
I completely disagree. I never liked Cloutier's game, even when he was doing really well numbers-wise and even when he wasn't choking-- I think the team really helped him out in the regular season, personally. Auld looked like he would never have out of the ordinary moments, but he was at least adequate.Alex Auld was never better than Cloutier.
The year Cloutier had a knee injury and missed the season, Auld took the starting job and the Canucks missed the playoffs.
Cloutier had pretty good reg season numbers. He was just terrible in the playoffs.
Yup.
yup yup yup.
The Canucks PP is top 10 again. How in the hell did that happen.
Here's something interesting, even with the best start ever the Hawks still don't match the Canucks best GF and GA from 10/11.
Kesler came back... and boom.
Burke is completely unable to acquire solid goaltending.Cloutier UGH
Being back in my high school days in Winnipeg, I wonder if Burke would go out and get some goaltending but no..I had to witness that albatross of a goaltender.
I prayed for Naslund/Bertuzzi to run up the score so Cloutier can have his stellar "stats"
They've seemed alot more involved defensively this year, while seemingly sacrificing a bit of offense-- They look alot like the Sedins that played the year after Anson Carter was here (who were among our best PKers and were excellent defensively).Henrik 5th overall in +/-?
Kind of surprised for some reason. Good for him.
Are we witnessing Tanev's transition into a top-four defenseman? He looked fantastic with Edler last night, and has probably been one of our more consistent d-men this season alongside Ballard.
I'm inclined to say yes if that pairing sticks. It also gives the Canucks some interesting options matchup wise when Hamhuis-Bieksa have their off nights.
As much as I complain about his passing ability, he is the heart and soul of this team. We are an average team without him.

If this team is gonna do any damage though it will be on the back of goaltending and the defence (both scoring and defending). We simply don't have any elite talent upfront outside the twins
