-The Canucks are 6-1 in their last 7 road games. They are 11-1 against the Northwest Division. The only NW team they lost to? The Wild back in mid-October.
-After winning four straight games to start January, the Wild have lost their last 3 games. They only scored 2 goals total in those losses. They are 2-3-0 in their last 5 home games.
LINKS
-Niklas Backstrom, who has missed the last 4 games because of a hip injury, returned to practice Saturday. It is not known if he will start against the Canucks. (Russo's Rants) If not, then Anton Khudobin may make his 2nd consecutive start as Jose Theodore remains sidelined with a hip injury as well.
-
You see, this is the cliche roller coaster ride right now. The team clicks uphill for a game, maybe two, sometimes even four. Click, click, click, click. Then, right when they are at the top, the bottom falls out, the cart goes over the edge and everyone plummets to the bottom. The guy in the middle barfs, the kids in the front car cry, and everyone else wonders what the hell just happened.

4-1 Nucks, Samuelsson GWG.
Any ideas on why the game is on so ridiculously early? Isn’t Minnesota only an hour behind Vancouver? I won’t be able to catch it because I’ll still be at work :/
Well it’s 5pm, Minny time. Seems like it’s their standard Sunday time going through their schedule.
So don't get violent and don't get caught with your head down, the night she stole the moon.

Now for something completely different.
I would just like to give a shout-out to all the contributors to this site. In this day and age of horrific journalism, pathetic grammar and overall shitty-ass writing it is extremely nice and entertaining to log on to this site and see none of the above. Sean, Yankee Canuck, WAACH, Missy and everybody else: 2 thumbs up and a “drink up” from the first registered Swede on the board. Keep it up!
I second this notion
And to you we say thank you for Gradin, Sundstrom, Naslund, Ohlund, Sedin, Sedin, Samuelsson, Edler, and Swedish hockey players in general!

Hey!
I like to think my writing is as shitty ass as any professionals although I do get the benefit of drinking before during and after writing something, also im lazy and punctuation is such a hassle.

5-1 Nucks. We are all Bieksa game winner.
That must be tough to see your top 3 goaltenders go down with injury.
Watch this guy stonewall the Canucks now… As long as our boys play a regular game and forget that there is a backup-backup goalie in front of them, we should be fine.

I know this has probably been discussed to death but I haven’t ever had to know. With Sportsnet Vancouver Hockey as a “companion channel” to Sportsnet One, that means you require a subscription to Sportsnet One to see SNV games, correct? These games are now the “PPV” games of old?

I don’t know if you are Shaw. Telus, or other.
But for me, on Telus, its part of the package of the SNET channels that cost a few bucks extra, and includes things like TSN 2. They are all about the packages and such there.
If you have Shaw, maybe it is similar. I know its a few extra bucks, prob’ the same for you.

Shaw. Unfortunately I’m asking on someone else’s behalf. They wouldn’t make use of it so they wouldn’t pay for it, but I could make use of it today since I have to be there. Oh well. Thank you for the semi-clarification, I thought that would be the case.

if your friend has a Shaw digital box, i believe they can find the SD channel in the 300’s somewhere without having to pay extra.
