booth and burrows break their slump but have a feeling nucks lose this one.

We really need to string some wins together to get back on track.

It looked good on the last road trip and then the terrible home stand - result-wise.

"After scoring only once in 13:23 of power-play time against the Kings, the Canucks reverted to their four-forward, 5-on-4 formation during Wednesday’s practice. Jason Garrison, who is in a career-high, 24-game goal drought, was the first-unit pointman.

Tortorella kept intact his four forward combinations, which means winger David Booth, a healthy scratch the previous three games, gets a second straight start alongside Ryan Kesler on the second line. Booth had five shots on net in 13:45 of ice time Monday, but was on the ice for the Kings’ tying goal"

^ Good. I like them using the 4-forward scheme with Kesler on the point. Would be interesting to compare the shot rates of the different configurations if that data was available.

They're generating more shots from within 10 feet than the #1 ranked Blues.

Where's this number from? Interesting.

Please win. PLEASE. Thanks in advance.

I'll be wearing my Canucks jersey and Sens hat.

Is Kesler going to be on the other point on the pp if its a 4F 1D combination? Kesler is amazing at getting shots through and making plays on the point. Kassian or Burrows should be planted infront of the net (I prefer Kassian but I already know that's not gonna happen for whatever reason),

Checking out Ottawa's roster especially their backend, we should have no problem scoring atleast 2 goals this game. Hopefully their not starting their backup.

It's the little things that help me get by during tough times like this.

Couldn't find the Proto post you're quoting, who's generating all these shots from within 10'?

I'm going to keep consistent the most recent games:

If we lose, **** is going to hit the fan! (in da face)

10 years ago yesterday the Canucks beat Ottawa 3-2 in OT and my wife gave birth to our twins. Both Sedin twins got a point in that game.

It was a good day.

For the love of god please score more than 2 goals
