All it took was 1 night for Cory Schneider's stats to fall back down to earth to where Roberto Luongo's stats are...

Star-divide

So we can close the door on that whole Roberto vs Red fiasco right? Schneider was not getting much help from his friends against the Lightning. It seems lately that the Canucks love their puck possession game but are struggling in their own end. When it looks like they are taking care of business (in general) in their own zone they suddenly allow golden scoring opportunities against. These golden opportunities are resulting in goals.

It is time to get back to basics. Sure, the all out attack is fun to watch but it doesn't translate into consistent success if you can't play a 2-way game. Where is the balance? Yeah, the team can be commended for repeated comebacks in the 3rd periods but how about not digging the hole to climb out of to begin with? I suppose the positives here are that the Canucks have gained 11 out of a possible 14 points in their last 7 games. So what the hell am I bitching about? Well, it's like I said before: I want the team to tighten up. I want them to establish some authority. You know, act like the Cup contender that they are "supposed" to be.

Random image:

Photobucket

It made me laugh. It didn't have to be that way.

A few trends that I found frustrating against the Lightning:

-the Canucks looked to be in slug mode for most of the early stages of the game. The Lightning skated with a vengeance and checked like hell. Vancouver seemed fine to carry the puck into the Lightning zone, get smothered, and turn the puck over. Only in the 3rd period did they decide to dump the fucking puck in and establish a forecheck, which, of course, required them to step up the pace of their game a notch.

Edmonton is not going to be a cake walk. There is plenty of skill and speed there as well. Shitloads of work ethic from Tom Renney's team. That work ethic has them 7-2-1 in their last 10. They have achieved at least a point in 6 straight games. They have won 5 of their last 6. All this after a rant about not showing pride wearing an Oilers jersey to the media.

In their last 5 games:

-Magnus Pajaarvi has 1 goal and 5 assists (he is finally cashing in)

-Taylor Hall has 4 goals

-Gagner West has 2 goals and 2 assists

The kids are rolling. Can the Canucks stop them?

Nikolai Khabibulin has started 3 of the last 4 games and has looked very impressive. He continues to defy age and DUI charges. I've always been a fan.

Look at the Oilers' team stats at the top of the page. Is this not a team that we should destroy? Barring Khabibulin being goalie Jesus we should own these guys! Time to step up to the plate, Canucks. Beat these guys in convincing fashion. You know..like you beat the Blackhawks 4 games ago.

I now wonder what the Canucks' record is lately against teams that are playing the second game of a back to back situation. It can't be impressive.

You ever get the impression that the Canucks are just in cruise mode lately? Like they are not pushing full throttle because...well I don't know..they have 1st spot in the NW and are pacing themselves? That's the way it looks to me.

Oh, and thank you to Tampa's Dan Ellis for letting us back in the game on Saturday night.  We'll take the point in the OTL.

VIDEO

No, no video. Just beat these punks. And somebody kill Linus Omark for pissing off the Lightning. Ha!

4 - 1 Good Guys!

Hamhuis!

I hereby propose the following rules to a successful season-

1. No playing teams who have played the night before, especially those who have played on the westcoast.
2. No playing teams who are generally in a slump or whose star players are in the midst of a slump – Except Calgary, because we tapped that shit.
3. Only play teams below .500 who have won 2 or 3 games in a row. Otherwise, their season is one giant slump and we all know how that turns out.
4. Do not take penalties against teams who only score on the power play (coughtampacough) – see what I did there? I just gave some insight.

Follow these simple rules and the Canucks will win every game this season!

by Canuckles on Dec 12, 2010 9:33 AM PST reply actions  

I base my prediction tonight

on the fact that the Oilers are streaking, thus not in a slump.

So I’ve heard…I don’t follow football too closely though. I was actually born and lived over there for a few years.

I’ve always wondered – what is the hockey scene like in the UK? I know they have that Elite league, but does it get a large following? I imagine it gets pretty dwarfed by football.

The hockey scene is okay. I don’t really follow the Elite leauge, my team is in the Premier league which has less of a following. We have about 1000 people here tonight and even last night when we played Giildford (we’ve been fighting them for top spot all season; we have it at the mo) there were about the same amount of people. The quality between the teams is pretty absurd though. We have 43 points, the bottom team has 7. Teams also struggle financially.

The hockey fans that are about are pretty loyal though. And I enjoy the games :)

In the Premier league it’s a lot more home-grown; there’s a four import limit. However in the Elite league the limit is 10 or 11 so that’s reflected in the play (and wages). Imports get more money than the Brits, and it’s generally accepted that the running costs are less in the Premier league. Manchester moved down a league but I wasn’t a fan when they were in the Elite league so I don’t know what effect it has had.

Definately, seeing hockey grow is good. I was gutted that I didn’t get to see the Bruins play against a selection of Elite league players in the pre-season. And when they season opener was in London I wasn’t a hockey fan. Damn my lame timing.

I got one part of what I wanted last night:

the hits were awesome. Alberts and Torres were beasts on skates. Oilers on a roll, so we must go into shutdown mode.
4-2 Nucks, Kes GWG.
Speaking of the Keslord, he was amazing last night, till he took that damn high-sticking penalty. Although the embellishment was through the roof….

embellishing was abundant throughout. Kesler dove on that play where he tried to drive past the d-man and go in alone.

I noticed that

but I gotta admit, I was hoping for the penalty shot on that play.

Yeah, a bit of me was too.

And man, you have give Guy Boucher credit for those plays on the PP. I remember watching the leafs game when they gave up the lead to tampa in the last few seconds off a set play from an offensive zone faceoff, and the only thing I could think of on that Kes penalty was “oh fuck oh fuck, here it comes”, and it did. Big credit to those guys, that was a beautiful play on the OT winner.

Well my opinion is

(and not having my own kids, maybe i’m out to lunch here) it’s not about the sad side to it all, it’s about the positive side. I don’t think making something funny out of something uplifting should be hurtful to anyone (except maybe burrows, but something tells me he’d see the humor in it); I’d think that it shows a confidence in ones ability to try and see the lighter side of what’s probably a pretty hard situation rather than making light of said situation. Anyways, it’s moot since it’s only one jesus sedin and a ginger jesus anyways.

Is it just me

or did Keith Ballard honour Markus Naslund last night? End to End rush with a goal?
Clickies here Granted, Dan Ellis did his best to help him out…

Something amusing about this, which involves ellis bashing. Does anyone notice how surprised Ballard was at scoring on such a simple shot? He doesn’t celebrated until he gets behind the net, as if it took him about three seconds for it to settle in that such a weak attempt scored.

by Canuckles on Dec 12, 2010 2:44 PM PST reply actions  

Yeah, I don’t think he really expected to score there. It was a bad, bad goal for Ellis to let in.
But I agree, good honouring! Ballard has made a couple good end-to-end rushes in the last little while. I think he’s finally finding his legs and getting into the groove of the system

Green and Schultz are also out, so whatever little “defense” they actually had wasn’t even playing
