It's The Burrows and Luongo Show! Canucks 4 Coyotes 0

Big hat tip to SteveNux for sharing his photo creation (above).
It kind of went like this:
Alright game....tentative....Burrows scores!....Damn you Taylor Pyatt! You just killed Aaron Rome!.....Geez the Canucks are getting outshot badly in the second period....Great save Luongo....Mason Raymond's first career penalty shot!....Damn!.....Geezus the Canucks are getting outshot badly in the 2nd...Stopped by Luongo....Big Willie highsticks Sami Salo and he's bleeding profusely.... Another stop by Luongo......Samuelsson scores!....So sucky for you Phoenix....Burrows scores again!....Salo returns?! He only has one eye left! Hell freezes over.....Burrows scores again! All hail Mr. Everything!....Damn! Hordichuk just corked Bissonette!...Game over!...Suck it, Jovo!
Maybe not quite the exact order of events but close. To continue on with this strange recap, here are some images:
Damn, Rome, I think your cheek is still on the ice. Better pick it up and freeze it!
4 goals in 2 games for Burrows!
"If only Willie's stick was 6" shorter..."
After Bryzgalov stops Raymond on the penalty shot MayRay says: "Fuck!..... Nice work, man."
Burrows scores his 5th goal in 2 games.
Are you fricking kidding me?! Burrows scores his hat trick goal and hats fall from the sky. Somewhere out there Petri Skriko kicks over his coffee table and beats his kids.
"....and this one's for your mother!"
MY 3 STARS:
1. Bank: 6 goals in 2 games..who would have thought?
2. Lank: Saved our butts in the 2nd period when the Canucks were outshot 16-5.
3. Hank: 3 assists and sole possession of 1st spot in NHL scoring. You gotta get 3 points now, Joe.
Ed Jovanovski proved why I don't miss him in a Canucks jersey...at all. How did you enjoy the first hand look at all 3 Burrows goals Ed? How's that -3 treating you? Yeah, sleep tight.

ooo, a photoblog.
Holy crap, 4 game winning streak. (h5) slash Luongo’s 50th(?) career SO.
Canuck fans love the 2nd half of the year. I do at least.

Has there ever been a Canuck in the points lead?
Naslund is the only possibility I think.
One for the stats geeks
Check out who is dominating the scoring rate (points per 60 minutes of play) at even strength. Check out where that guy Thorton is:
I’m thinking we start calling the boys “herre”, that’s “lord” in Swedish. Herre Hank, Herre Dank, Herre Lank, etc.
okay, i guess I don't know how to post an image
Also guess who’s second in shooting percentage.

hat trick record
question. does anyone know what the record is for the canucks for consecutive hat tricks, and what the record is for the NHL?
Consecutive is tough, but Tony Tanti has the club record at ten (Nazzy has 9). If Burrows gets another for 4 hatties, he’ll be tied with Linden and Mogilny.
I took a quick look and couldn’t see the NHL record either. Good money would be on Gretzky since he had 10 hat tricks in a season. Twice. Sick.

The last time a player scored consecutive hat tricks was in november of 07 or 08? Ilya kovalchuk. Can’t remeber exactly what don taylor said

From the Province
Defying his roots and challenging perceptions, Burrows did something no Canuck goal scorer had done in 23 seasons. Not Pavel Bure, Alexander Mogilny, Markus Naslund nor Daniel Sedin. He became the first Canuck since Petri Skriko in 1986-87 to record hat tricks in back-to-back games.

And from the Sun
Burrows scored once in the first period and twice early in the third to become just the third Canuck to record back-to-back hat tricks. Bobby Schmautz did it in 1972, while Petri Skriko duplicated the feat in November 1986.

For the record, the Bank idea isn’t mine. A bunch of us were joking about Canucks nicknames in a game thread several days back. Would the innovator of the name “Bank” please come forward? Stand up and be recognized!

Unfortunately, the word tank can also refer to sucking…but I still like your idea

Or…“The Superfriends”
Wonder Twins…and Burr can be Flash, or Batman or something!
“Shape of…a scoring title!…”
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"
Since I missed the second period on…I appreciate the fine recap Sir Zandberg,

Is that from Summer School? Because that is an awesome movie.

I’m sure he tucks himself in with the 6.5 million he’s making a season. Can’t believe he’s making more than the Sedins although he does have decent numbers this season for a D man.
On another note, Robert Lang looked really slow out there. There was also a play where he gained the zone was going to be a threat then just fell down and let us take the puck and go the other way. I think father time has caught up to him as well.
And another note: Another game, another golden opportunity for Bernier (the breakaway chance), another time Bernier missed the net.
I laughed when that happened because it was so predictable too. He made a very nice move before missing the net, though, I’ll give him that.

agreed, I had to look and see if it was *that Robert Lang…

What a game.
My uncle Dracula would have liked it as well, with all the blood squirting everywhere…rest his soul.
My 6 year-old son thinks Burrows is a superhero. He wants a hockey shirt with his name.
Los Angeles, CA
Which one though? I would say Neo or Luke Skywalker with the way we just puts the puck wherever he wants.
Also, Kesler is Superman because it seemed like he got injured twice that game, second time got drilled with the puck, and was still playing. If he’s not made of steel he’s made of something that’s just as hard.
nerdy comment of the day
Actually, Wolverine had superhuman healing before he got his adamantium skeleton :P
Plus, Wolverine is Canadian, Kesler is from the USA.
I think Darcy Hordichuck with a bit of a beard looks exactly like what wolverine would look like in real life. Way more than Hugh Jackman.
Indeed. Because if he didn’t have the whole healing thing he wouldn’t be a mutant. Just a guy with hard bones and some claws.
Meh…Deadpool’s got a kick ass healing factor too…and he is funnier!

"Sedinery"
That’s how Dave Tomlinson described the play of the 1st line.
Pure Magic is how I describe Burr’s 2nd goal (Dank-Hank-Burr-SCORE).
can I post it in this game recap post instead of the current one?
by Sean Zandberg on Jan 8, 2010 1:17 PM PST up reply actions
Super Smash Bros.
So, there’s my idea. Sedin-Sedin-Burrows. SSB line, aka Super Smash Bros.
Keep the Hank, Dank, and Bank when referring to them individually. :)
You know…that is damned brilliant stuff right there! I’ll include that in the Preview post tomorrow and we’ll see if it sticks.

I endorse Nintendo references. Though now we need a Bowser and a Wario. I sort of want Luongo to be Wario.

Here is a question.....
Why are the Canucks so damn good after Christmas under AV ? Is it just me or does this team ALWAYS seem to find a whole new gear around the holidays since AV took over. Why do we think that is?
