The Canucks' win over the Avalanche on October 26 was both satisfying and disturbing. Satisfying in the sense that Mason Raymond knocked the puck off Jonas Horos' stick and it went into the net for the OT win, but disturbing in that the Avalanche were buzzing around the Canucks most of the night. They outshot Vancouver 31-13 in the 2nd and 3rd periods, including 39-31 overall. Roberto Luongo joked after the game that he was disappointed that it was ended in OT as he was looking forward to going to a shootout. Luongo made several huge saves in that one. However he will get the night off as Cory
Schneider starts against the Avs. Colorado's young and speedy team puts a lot of shots on net (6th overall) and score a lot of goals (tops in the NHL). They have to score a lot of goals because they are 29th in the NHL in goals against. Either way, Schneider is in for a busy night.
Colorado has not played since Saturday, a 5-1 win over the Blue Jackets. Peter Budaj, who is the go-to guy with Craig Anderson still on the IR (knee), had his best outing of the season in that one. The Canucks, who played 2 nights ago in Edmonton have to keep their game simple and not try to run and gun with these guys. The Avs are well-rested and dangerous offensively.
- This is the Avalanche's 2nd game of a 5 game home stand.
- Chris Stewart, who was the NHL's 3rd star for the month of October, has scored 9 goals and 16 points in 11 games this season. He only had 1 assist against the Canucks last meeting.
- To put the Av's firepower into perspective, 4 of their players have at least a point per game so far: Stewart, Paul Stastny, Milan Hejduk and John-Michael Liles. Matt Duchene has 2 goals and 9 points.
- Injured Avs: Anderson, D Kyle Cumiskey (concussion), D Adam Foote (head), LW David Koci (jaw) and RW Peter Mueller (concussion).
- This is the final game Rick Rypien will serve of his suspension.
- Alain Vigneault praises Jannik Hansen: "Since the beginning of the year, the little things that we wanted him to do, like hound the puck and finish his checks, make the right plays on the penalty kill — he’s doing that for us." (Vancouver Sun) Hansen leads the team in +/- with a +6.
- How well do Canucks players know Peter Schaefer? Well according to King of The Rink, not very well.

Dunno why, just don’t think we’re going to take this one :(
Prove me wrong Canucks!
Back to the positive.
5-2 Canucks. Ginger Jesus is busy…but not THAT busy, and the Sedins and Burrows fill the scoresheet.

Also,
With Cummiskey out, the Avs have recalled 1st round pick Kevin Shattenkirk (we swear we didn’t make up that name) from the AHL. “Shatty” has 0 goals and 0 points in his 10 or so games down there so the be very scared. If Shatty plays, he will be the point man on the Avs 1st or 2nd power play unit as he is an amazing passer and has a pretty nice shot from the point (god help you if he scores due to the “YOU GOT SHAT ON” jokes). You should also know that the Avs have been running with 7 defense men in the past few games due to our forth line sucking and our Coach Wacco Sacco not knowing which defensemen to sit. Expect our 13 year old centers to be double shifted with said 4th line for extra playing time.
2-1 Avs in OT in a much tighter game then ANYONE expects.

If we can only pot one against Boo, we deserve to lose. Any word on when Mr. Anderson is returning?
I hope the Avs show some rust. It may be tight early, but I think it will open up in the second. My guess, anyways.
Mistake one: reading PD comments. Just read the articles, the comments are where dreams go to die. - YC
Anderson out 2-3 weeks. That’s the current thinking (per Dater, Avs writer from the Denverpost).
With Budaj, it’s either fast or famine. He’s great, or he serves up rebounds with soup and salad. Hit or miss.
If it’s tight and we’re rusty, Nucks win, no question, you defense if so much better then ours. If it opens up and the game just flies, Avs win (we’re crazy fast).
Matt Duchene, better at being Pavel Datsyuk than Pavel Datsyuk!!!
"FUCKINGUGLYBABYKYLEKOCIWOLSKIJESUSBARBRASTREISAND!!!!" - Angry MHH member After An Olli Jokinen Goal.
Fast and crazy indeed. Building a very entertaining, young team. You guys really miss the stability and leadership of a guy like Foote back on the blueline. He’s slowed a bit, but still one smart and ornery bastard.
Mistake one: reading PD comments. Just read the articles, the comments are where dreams go to die. - YC
My spelling today is tear-able. Wow.
Yeah, when we’re flying we sure are fun to watch. The problem is, a tough, well coached team that has ANY kind of defensive scheme can slam the door on our speed and our speed is the only thing that allows us to keep up with the good teams in the league.
As for Foote, our grumpy old man, you hit the nail on the head. We have no tough hard hitting stay at home dmen. None. Wilson can rock some nice hits (keep your head up around him) but he’s no Adam Foote. Liles, Holos, Quincey (who has been tear-able these last 10 games) are all more of an offensive type dman. Boy did we want your Willie Mitchel, although, I think everyone did.

4-2 Canucks. (Even though tons have chosen this score already). Kesler with the winnar.
If Schneids plays as well as he did through the first 2 starts, I think he’d have a good enough game to beat the Avs. Plus, the team is probably going to play more responsibly in front of the kid instead of Lu.

Will go like the Edmonton one. Coconuts get up, then proceed to blow the lead like a BP oil well before pulling a win out of their ass, maybe in OT

What I know(see speculate wildly) is....
Having a 6 day break and being in Colorado, The wealthy and athletic Avalanche players thought it would be a great idea to go snowboarding/skiing with their families/significant others/puck bunny on their time off. Alas being professional Hockey players they dont get alot of free time over the winters to enjoy other winter sports like Snowboarding,AND as anyone who has been snowboarding/skiing or watched someone else after they’ve been for the first few times. Its painful, you use muscles you don’t normally use. you fall down alot and you dull the pain with alot of alcohol and extended time in the hot tubs. NOW, the players will have returned to their private castles and in preperation for tonights game will be going through their hangovers and their muscles/bruises will begin to stiffen up and rise to the surface, greatly affecting their play.

Meanwhile...
Toronto’s earlier experiment with trying Hockey this winter failed.

Back to..
relying on national sports networks based in TO to brainwash the nation into believing Toronto is the greatest team and the standings/scores aren’t significant in judging the teams actual success in the sport (which the Maple leafs ownership will attest to, profits are) and that everyone outside the GTA is uninformed about what hockey really is and don’t matter. It’s a sound strategy that has worked for the last 15 years.

I'm also convinced....
That if Vancouver and Ottawa were to go to game 7 in the stanley cup finals, TSN would be airing the high lights of the Maple Leafes charity golf tournament instead.

Also.
Bettman will ensure the Coyotes will win the cup this season so he can get his own cup ring as owner, and so he can claim hockey in Glendale is a success despite the fact noone will actually have paid money to watch the games.

BCJHL
no longer exists. I assume you meant the BCHL?
That felt really good. I haven’t been overly pedantic in a long time.

Or
Maybe he was being very clever and saying that the Coyotes have a worse attendance record than a defunct league…
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
That would have been very clever
the BCHL by the way produces more players for the NCAA than any other league of it’s kind in North America and top teams have several draft eligible players. Trail for instance has 4 guys expected to be drafted in the summer. If you are close to a BCHL town and not going to the occasional game you are only cheating yourselves.

Thanks for the help

Also if you are in the Prince George or Penticton area you should be excited that you have new Senior AAA hockey teams who will be competing for the BC Championship, The Savage Cup, this year. Lots of former BCHL and WHL players with pro experience. Great hockey.

Malhotra with the Short handed winner
final score 4-2
5-4 Canucks
Keslord FTW. Meanwhile, Burrows gets a hatty. :D
Chuck Norris has counted to infinity... twice.
Sean Z, regarding Andrew Alberts: "And of course credit goes to Alain Vigneault for sticking with this guy. When most of us wanted his nuts stapled to the bench."

I see people are in general jumping on the 4-2 wagon. Wise. Anyone have free time? What was the most common Canucks score last season? Was it 4-2?

My guess would be 4-3. Due to OT/Shootout.
