Update (3:29): Tap of the ol' glove to The Canuck Fan for pointing out that Ryan Johnson and Patrick Marleau will be the guest on HNIC's After Hours tonight.
Update (3:09): The Sharks big 3 (Heatley, Thornton and Marleau) were separated onto 3 different lines a couple games ago and the Sharks have not lost since. The same lines apply tonight. Wise move, coach McLellan!
Update (2:12 PST): I didn't think of this until I saw it on the Twitter updates: It's Earth Hour day. That means that wherever you are on this planet you can participate by turning off your lights at 8:30 PM. Oh, it's just lights...TV's don't count...phew!
Update: I gotta quote andrew21nz from the comments section:
Hank needs one assist to set a new Canucks franchise record for most assists in a season (currently tied with his 2006-07 season on 71)
He will also be the first Canucks since Naslund in the 02-03 season to crack 100 points. He has a good chance of beating 110 points 1992-93 season by Bure (dunno who that is sorry :p) to become the highest scoring Canuck in a season
*******************
It's a huge Saturday for the Canucks. There are so many stories that can and will play out today. Examples:
-If the Canucks win and Colorado loses, they will hold a 7 point lead on them for the Northwest Division title. To me that is the most important factor.
-If the Canucks lose and the Avalanche win....well...that is a whole new can of worms. Plus that will most likely make the Canucks-Avalanche tilt on April 6 that much more significant. I prefer burying those buggers now, not later. It's easier on the ol' ticker.
-A win by Vancouver will pull them within 3 points of Chicago, who are 2nd in the West and are in the middle of a potential goaltending controversy. The Hawks do not play on Saturday.
-This is not the final meeting of the regular season. The Canucks play the Sharks in the Tank again on April 8, the second-last game of the season.
-Roberto Luongo returns to the Canucks' net in a game that he is going to have to play in godly fashion. Luongo told reporters on Friday that he feels that his batteries are recharged after the emotional toil of the Olympics. Well he's going to need a few "D" batteries against the Sharks in the Tank, and some help from his mates as well. When I say help, I mean that the team has to play in front of him as well as they did in front of Raycroft against Anaheim.
Speaking of Olympic toils and hangovers...the Sharks had a few players of their own that may or may not have suffered from it: Nabokov, Thornton, Heatley, Marleau..Bullshit I say! San Jose played 5 straight home games after the Olympics ended and finished 3-1-1. It was the ensuing road trip where they fell apart. They had 1 win and 6 losses on that 7 game trip. They were outscored 25-14. The sky was falling! But wait! They won the last game of that trip 4-1 over the Wild, then returned home 2 nights later to beat the Stars 3-0. Yeah, that same Stars team that had killed them 8-2 a week earlier.
Evgeni Nabokov was in goal for both of those games. No one's out the lynch him now are they? San Jose seems to have found their groove back. In their last 2 wins:
-Rob Blake had 1 goal and 3 assists
-Ryan Clowe had 3 assists
-Joe Thornton had 1 goal (empty netter) and 1 assist
-Dan Boyle also had 1 goal and 1 assist
-Patrick Marleau had 2 assists
-Dany Heatley had 1 goal and 8 shots.
Vancouver has not won in San Jose since April 2007. They are 1-3-1 since then. So this is a big challenge for our kick ass friends.
Good news for Canucks fans:
-Henrik Sedin has 5 assists in his last 3 games
-Daniel Sedin has 3 goals and 2 assists in his last 5.
-Ryan Kesler has 2 goals and 2 assists in his last 4 games.
-Christian Ehrhoff has 1 goal and 3 assists in his last 5 games. So does Alexander Edler.
The bad news is that there hasn't been much scoring beyond the Sedins and Kesler lately. The Sharks will most likely smother the Twins in their rink so it's time for the Crack Line to chip in more as a group. Michael Grabner looks inches away from getting his scoring on track, as does Mason Raymond. Grabner will keep getting chances as long as Pavol Demitra remains out for personal reasons. Demitra did not make the trip. Kyle Wellwood seems an offensive threat lately and has 2 goals and 1 assist in his last 5 games, but he is flanked by 2 guys named Tanner Glass and Jannik Hansen who have a combined 2 assists in their last 5 games. Hey, lord knows I love the Danish bugger, but since he scored 2 goals in 2 games back in early March, he has gone goal-less in 8 straight games. Glass is...well, Glass. He hasn't scored since November 28..That was something like 43 games ago.
Bottom line...I miss Mikael Samuelsson!
But hey! I'm up for surprises!
A couple of clips to send your way:
1. Canucks beat Sharks at GM Place (March 18, 2010):
Was that great or what?
2. Vintage: Sharks-Canucks rough stuff. Is that Bure throwing punches?
3. Oh Mickey you're not fine, Rypien just blew your mind hey Mickey!
4. Mats Sundin's first goal as a Canuck came against....

3-2 canucks, burrows with the winner
it’s gonna be another close game.
Official Ambassador for Nucks Misconduct.

GO CANUCKS GO!
I think that is going to be a popular score, and I almost took it. But Luongo will be more the goalie everyone expects.
3-1 Canucks. Mr Grabner, because if I keep picking him, he will hit the back of the net. This one is a GWG to boot.
Sean…Murray down in Duckland basically blamed the Games for his team missing the playoffs, injuries, and everything else he could think of.
You were of course right about the Sharks. For them it was the road.
I do believe in the Oly hangover a bit. But all those Gold medal players didn’t struggle, let alone a goalie that went out early enough that he could have joined his teammates in Maui for the second week ( Nabby!). Luongo had it affect him a bit, and every one of them may have had an off game or two coming off such an emotional rollercoaster.
But, the Ducks sucked because they sucked, the same as the Sharks sucked cuz they were on the road. The Canucks had almost as many players as SJ, and the same as the Ducks. Look what they did post games, in the middle of the longest road trip in the history of the league. Excuses huh?
Good point.

I can see the Olympic hangover part a little bit as well, as far as the emotional part is concerned, but I think it gets too much credit, or attention.

i’ll probably get to san jose about 6 in time for warmups, but i don’t know where my seats are since we got a package of tickets through work.
Here's a short list.
Myself.
Richard from CHB
at least 35 other Canucks fans, but not all together. We should have a solid showing.

Here's my plan..
Be downtown before 5, hit up the Fairmont at 4:30 and get pics of #Canucks as they board the bus to get to HP Pavilion. Walk to the Britannia Arms and meet up with Canucks fans there. Walk to the Arena between 6 and 630 to catch the end of the skate. Then head to my seat and enjoy the game.

Marleau (3), Goc, Crotch, Clocks, Cocks
Thornton with six assists.

So the Flames are all but eliminated from the playoffs now. They just got pummelled by Boston 5-0.
Gonna be fun to watch how Sutter tries to blow up that team even more (and make it even worse in the process). But just seeing the Flames sitting comfortably in 9th is good enough for me for now.
by Canuckk on Mar 27, 2010 12:59 PM PDT via mobile reply actions
It’s an awkward situation. Maybe one or both of the Sutters should step down. Love to be a fly on the wall when those 2 go out for a couple brewskies tonight..
by Sean Zandberg on Mar 27, 2010 1:21 PM PDT up reply actions
I cant see only one of them stepping down. If Darryl is fired, then Brent should be gone too -bringing the family together is basically the only reason Brent joined the Flames to begin with, and it would be really awkward to fire Darryl but keep Brent. On the other hand, coaches tend not to be fired after only one season, so I’m gonna guess neither of them will be fired or step down, but Darryl will just try to blow up the team again. Maybe he’ll deal Kipper or Regehr? Who knows.
I love seeing the Flames fail though. No matter what happens to them now, it’ll be entertaining.

Seeing the Flames fail also makes me happy.

Oops. Missed this.
I think the only thing blown up will be the Sutters.
Leave my name alone Botchford...get your own.
Hank needs one assist to set a new Canucks franchise record for most assists in a season (currently tied with his 2006-07 season on 71)
He will also be the first Canucks since Naslund in the 02-03 season to crack 100 points. He has a good chance of beating 110 points 1992-93 season by Bure (dunno who that is sorry :p) to become the highest scoring Canuck in a season
Also I discovered something disturbing while investigating this… Todd Bertuzzi played for the Canucks (when he was actually good)
Bertuzzi?
I thought all evidence of his playing here had been erased from public record. Same as Messier.
Somebody isn’t doing their job.
Leave my name alone Botchford...get your own.
I’m all for Hank beating Bure’s record! Thanks for those stats, andrew

Agreed, Sean.
Would be great to see Hank eclipse Bure.
Leave my name alone Botchford...get your own.
You don’t know who Bure is? My my … you’ve got to check out some of the highlight reel goals from his career. I’m a big Bure fan, but I’m all for Hank passing him!
You missed his sarcasm. No worries though. Happens to me all the time.

I actually don’t know who he is. I’ve only been following the Canucks since this season

WHAT? Whoa! Yes, my friend you have a lot of catching up to do!
by Sean Zandberg on Mar 27, 2010 1:56 PM PDT up reply actions
So is he the Canuck’s greatest player? And he just got sick of them and left? He’s still well liked though?
it was a fight
between management and Bure. There were problems, and the team was starting to take a nosedive just as he left.
At the time I hated him for leaving, but it was best for him, and ultimately both sides shared equal blame for the way he left.
Still the most exciting player to watch, anyhow!
He gave his best years here too. Florida had a year or two of the awesome Bure, and then his knees started getting injured…a lot.
But yeah…Temujin nailed the rest. It was a little ugly at the time, but I still have very fond memories of him playing here, and kind of wonder why he never gets included in HOF talk.

Sharks win 4-1 with 2 goals from Marleau, one from Pavelski, and one from Malhotra. The lone ’Nucks tally is courtesy of Ehrhoff, because it would be oddly fitting.

9-1 Sharks
Jumbo Joe has 9 assists to reclaim the assists lead over Henrik. The Canucks then go on a rampage winning every game until they meet the Sharks again in the Conference Finals. The series turns out to be so intense, that the west coast of both countries is left in smoldering ruins. Alberta is already in smoldering ruins.

I regret to announce that I will not be participating in Earth Hour
My bosses at the pizza place wouldn’t be too amused if I tried driving around without lights at 8:30, even with Daylight Savings Time.
As long as I’m having to work, how the !@#$ do I catch games on the radio in Bellingham? You would think I’d be able to get 1040 here in Bellingham, and you would be wrong. Nothing but static.
I, for one
would encourage everyone to run their washer and dryer during earth hour. Turn on all your lights. Start your car and let it idle. Open your fridge, turn on your stove and all four elements.
Turn on you TV and do not watch it.

.
I refer, of course to LIGHTS ON – the vital protest being co-ordinated by my colleague Damian Thompson in response to the hideous annual exercise of eco-fascist triumphalism sometimes known as Earth Hour.

All Damian is asking us to do is that we screw up our courage, bump up our electricity bills and make damn sure we keep every single one of the lights in our home blazing between 8.30 and 9.30pm on Saturday March 27.
