Update (5:49 PM): Despite Jonathan Bernier getting the shutout in the Kings' last game, and that he's starting against the Canucks, coach Terry Murray insists that there is no goalie controversy in LA, and that Jonny Quick will be the go-to guy.
Update (5:10 PM): Daniel Sedin will not play tonight, according to Dan Murphy on Uber Twitter (because just plain ol' Twitter isn't enough). Hat tip to WAACH'Cast for the find.
Update: Daniel Sedin is having some not-so serious back spasms lately, which is why he did not practice yesterday. He says that he gets the spasms on occasion. He'll do some exercises today and see how it feels. He may not play tonight. Pavol Demitra has been called in from Van just in case Dank can't score, as the only other player the Canucks have with them is Nolan Baumgartner.Ah hell, put Nolan on Line 1. He'll probably score a hatty.
***************************************
The Kings beat the Predators 2-0 on Tuesday to end a 4-game losing streak. Jonathan Bernier got the shutout, the youngest goaltender in Kings history to do so. Jonathan Quick, who has been great this year, was in net for all 4 losses on the streak, where they were outscored 14-7. In fact, Quick has lost 9 of his last 12 starts.
Bernier will start in goal against the Canucks.
Kings coach Terry Murray believes his team is on the right track. Why?
Well as LA Kings Insider Rich Hammond put it: In their last five games, the Kings have averaged 30.6 shots on goal. In their previous five games, the Kings had averaged 22.8 shots per game.
Who's rolling for the Kings?
-Scott Parse has 3 goals in his last 2 games.
That's about it. No other Kings have more than a point in their last 3-4 games that I'm aware of.
The Canucks are still 7 points ahead of the Avalanche, as Colorado lost to Anaheim Wednesday night. So it really isn't as much about the Canucks losing the Northwest Division title at this point. It's more about them catching the Blackhawks, who they now trail by 5 points as Chicago pummeled the Wild 4-0 Wednesday night. That's a bit of a stretch to accomplish, because I don't see the Hawks melting down in their final games. These things can change in a hurry though, as Flames fans are finding out. But it's looking more and more like the Canucks will finish 3rd, so now we also watch who ends up in the 6th seed and a dinner in hell.
We'll see how all this affects the Canucks' psyche. One thing for sure: benching Shane O'Brien didn't hurt the team at all. They came out a obliterated the Coyotes on Tuesday in one of the best games I've seen them play since I don't know when. Andrew Alberts finally looked comfortable in a Canucks jersey in OB's stead.
Henrik Sedin only needs 6 more points to catch Pavel Bure's single season points record, as Yankee pointed out here. Hank is showing no signs of letting up. I'm not sure which game Andrew Raycroft will start in, tonight against the Kings or tomorrow against the Ducks. My guess is the latter, but we'll keep you up to date. Vancouver plays 6 games in 10 nights to finish off their season from on high.
OK, video time!
1. Jack be nimble. Jack be quick. Jack go ass over tea kettle with this Jan Bulis hit!
2. Highlights of the Canucks' win over the Kings, December 2009.
3. Ugh. Canucks have an awful way of being a part of history. Here, Gretzky scores goal 802:

3-2 canucks, daniel with the winner

4-2 Canucks, Burrows GWG.
I actually don’t mind the Kings, but I hated them when they had Avery on the team.

4-1 Again. A good score for our high flyers. Canucks win behind Grabner’s 2 goals, one of which is a GWG.

Bernier the junior gets a case of Bernier the elder, and his hands turn to stone. 6-3 Canucks, Burr the winner… at least 4 of the goals are high, glove side.

I was all excited cause it’s a long weekend and I figured they might hit Calgary or Edmonton tomorrow and I could make the roadie and get some tickets from a scalper or something but they are headed to Seattle next. I still haven’t seen Muse it never seems to work out.
We don’t get good shows up here. I missed out on so many good shows the last year and a half it’s stupid.

It’s a fantastic album top to bottom. I had heard Origin of Symmetry before but I was never really a fan until I heard that sweet, morose piano bangage of Apocalypse Please. I think something got lost in their transition to intentionally writing stadium anthems like Knights of Cydonia.
And maybe I changed a bit too, I don’t listen to that sort of stuff any more. :(
5-2 Canucks, I’m gonna give Balls a rare goal for the winner.
re: the video…did Jan Bulis do ANYTHING else good or even remotely entertaining for Vancouver? Or for anybody? Man I hated that guy.

Nah, I always gave TP the benefit of the doubt. Pyatt’s thing was that he just wasn’t the brightest candle on the cake. Bulis’s was that he was a lazy arrogant sack of cap space filler.

So Daniel is having back spasms and will be a game time decision. Baumer is currently the only healthy player with the Canucks, but they’re flying Demitra to LA. We might see Demitra back sooner than we thought.
So don't get violent and don't get caught with your head down, the night she stole the moon.
We’ll know for sure if Demitra shows up with a beard and wearing number 33!

Yeah, I had a friend, years ago, in a similar situation and that was, as best I recall, the deal at the time. And if you didn’t choose, they basically chose for you based on residency.

They changed the law a decade ago. And that law was only for Americans… Canada hasn’t cared for decades if you keep other citizenships. But now the USA doesn’t either. So you can have as many citizenships as you like, as far as the United States or Canada is concerned.

We’re Doomed.
Nice to see we hold Butch Goring off the scoresheet.
Can't watch the thinkspeak. Always sarcastic, barely ever mean. Just me.

Bure (11)
5 SH goals, 3 PP goals, 3 ES. All unassisted.
Oh and you forgot to mention Mario Lessard with the shutout!

Do we clinch if we win tonite? I mean a playoff berth? I think we need a couple more to clinch the division, no?

Yeah, a win tonight (or even an OTL I think) will allow us to officially clinch a playoff spot. Not that it isn’t all but guaranteed already.
We need 101 points to clinch the division, I think.
Actually, even 1 point tonight and we clinch the playoff spot I believe.

Makes sense to put Demo on the 4th line tho’…he has been away for a couple weeks, and only started skating the other day.
"I’m not asking for first-line money or top six money," Burrows said. "I don’t think it changes anything. I still consider myself a checker. That’s what I think I am first. That’s how I want to be paid. "If I can generate offence once in a while, I think it’s a plus for the team." Alex Burrows...Mar/09
My bet is that we’ll see Demo on a higher line before the night is over

If he is skating well.
You bet.

April Fool's right?
Had better be. I’m off to work now anyways…again.
You all hagn. I only get to listen, then watch it when I get home. Becoming far too commonplace lately.
Can't watch the thinkspeak. Always sarcastic, barely ever mean. Just me.
this is not a drill
and besides, April Fools jokes are supposed to end at noon…

Well we all know losing Dank doesn’t hinder Hank’s performance! Now the top line is Bank-Hank-Rank. How sweet is that?
You know, I’m not sure i’d pick raymond there, much as I like him. I’d rather keep raymond on 2 to be honest and bring up wellwood. Possibly try out Demitra there too…too bad sammy’s out cuz he’d be good.

Detroit looks to win again...officially making them Phoenix’s problem, not ours :) For now…
Love the race for 5th in the West
