What a beautiful sight. And what a killer way to enter our New Year's Eve celebrations. The Canucks, outshooting the Blues 23-13 in the 2nd and 3rd periods erased a 3-0 deficit and beat the Blues in overtime. Christian "Blastoff" Ehrhoff sealed the deal 2:24 into OT with a rocket to cap the comeback. Yes, the Blues are fragile at home, and kudos to the Canucks for not quitting when all seemed lost.
-Lousy game by the refs. If Rick Rypien's wrist wrap is illegal now...well, he's had that on for quite some time. That 5:00 penalty costed us a Blues' PP goal against and set us behind early. What a fight though! A classic! Cam Janssen was bleeding like a gutted pig! Lovely!
In the end, when your team wins, it doesn't matter. I tip my hat to the Canucks for staring adversity in the face and licking it in the balls. What a win!
-BTW, Aaron Rome played 10:20, had 1 shot and no points. He was an even 0. Didn't hear much about him, right? Well that is not necessarily a bad thing.
My 3 Stars:
1. Christian Ehrhoff. 24:17 time on ice, the winning goal and a +2.
2. Henrik Sedin. 1 goal and 1 assist. A +1 and 23:53 played
3. Andy McDonald, I suppose. 2 points. Don't care.
Check out the Ripper-Janssen fight, as this one will go down in the books:
There is no doubt that Rick Rypien is the best fighter pound-for-pound out there.

I was going to point that one out too!
Hilarious…
Great game from the Canucks…but someone from the Canucks head office should ask for clarification on the Ripper thing…cuz he has had that all year.
If he bloodied someone earlier…would it have been called?
Doubt it…guy is injured…these refs was a little anal all night anyhow. But at least they called Kesler getting a stick in the face…that was missed several times in the last couple games…
Happy New Years once again folks!
The earliest use of the word with the spelling we recognize today is found in "L'Acadie: or Seven Years' Exploration in British America" by James Edward Alexander, published in 1849:
We also met a lusty fellow in a forest road with a keg of whisky slung round him who called to us 'Come boys and have some grog, I'm what you call a canuck"
Such a sweet game. To get 2 points after all of that...well done Blasthoff, well done Canucks. To next year!
For now, I be headin out. Happy new year all, and have a good night.

Have an awesome night, everybody! I’m hitting the sack soon cuz I get to get up at 4 to go to work. Happy New Year!!
Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that I may dance the good time dance, and lead the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance.
Just ducked out of the party long enough to find this bit from Vancouver Sun blog —
Canucks hit turning point of season
Mostly it’s about how the team is finally winning and coming from behind on the road, but it does contain this:
For the first time in 15 years, Vancouver reporters were denied access down the hallway past the home team’s dressing room and forced to march about 300 yards around the perimetre of the Scottrade Center to reach the Canucks’ locker room. An apologetic security guard explained he was acting on orders of Blues’ management. Perhaps they were worried we’d hear St. Louis coach Andy Murray getting fired.
New year, new Blues coach? That would be the coach the Canucks have gotten shitcanned this season
Missed the game but caught the highlight package. I’m downloading the game now, will watch it later.
Good to see that they didn’t quit when they were down 3-0. A couple of soft goals to get back into it but that kinda luck evens out throughout the year both ways.
That Rypper-Janssen fight looked amazing. Janssen is a pretty good fighter in his own right too. The taped wrist thing seems kinda dumb, I’ve seen other players do the same.
Just call me Jay...
