UPDATE 2:30 PM
Vigneault's response to Luongo's shutout last game: “In my mind I think you guys should be first star,” Vigneault joked after the game. “You pissed him (Luongo) off and look how well he played.” The media pissed off Luongo by hacking his puck-playing skills. Luongo went out and shut the door the very next game, but he didn't exactly improve his play outside his crease.
Love it.

UPDATE 12:10 PM
Bernier-Mason-Wellwood = BMW Line. Not bad!
---------------------------------------
So now begins the 6-game road trip and we'll see if the Canucks can keep rolling. Tonight they will face the Phoenix Coyotes, who are 2-6-2 in their last 10 games and in 14th spot in the Western Conference. Stick a fork in them they are done.
How does Gretzky even have a job right now? I don't get it.
The Canucks can move to within a point of the Flames and 2 points up on Chicago. It really is amazing how quickly they caught up to Calgary. I didn't expect this. But that doesn't mean I don't like it!
The Coyotes have a new look to them with the acquisitions of Matthew Lombardi and Scottie Upshall. That's a lot of speed and grit right there. And speaking of looks..
It's 80's night at the Jobing.com Arena for the game. Fans there are being encouraged to wear 80's attire and music from that decade will be played all night, which on most occasions isn't really much of a change. (Quiet Riot, Guns n' Roses, anyone?) Maybe Samantha Fox will make an appearance and do a show in the first intermission. Who knows. (Yeah admit it, you had her pasted onto your wall!)
I'll post any player updates prior to game time.
Feel free to post predictions and hang out here game time.
AWOOOOOOOOOO! Gad that wolf howl at Coyotes games is annoying.

If its 80’s night…all the fans should dress in white, the team should wear the Jets uni’s and the Canucks should break out the white/orange/yellow/red/black flying skate unis.
As for the music…trash the recorded crap and bring in the organist, if they really want to do it 80’s style.
Oh yeah…and beers for $2.50 too.
that and you’d be pissing every 2 minutes!

Yeah, the good old organ! Gotta love it, especially in the Chicago Stadium.
I wish the Canucks would wear the skate unis again. Hands-down the best.
You would think this has to be in the marketing plans for the future, once the novelty wears off the stick-in-rink and new color scheme.
I hope so. I know there are enough fans who want it to make a comeback.
Oh, I say 3-1 Canucks.

I think they should just play one-hit wonders all night.

They can’t win them all. And every successful team shits the bed on occasion. There’s not much interest here
