There is no reason to hit any panic buttons after the Canucks have been shut out in 2 of their last 3 games. But the concerns about the Canucks' fate of late may not come as a surprise to some considering how many Canucks players have cooled off in their scoring output. Samuelsson, Raymond, Tambellini and Malhotra have a combined 1 assist in a big chunk of the Canucks' last games (see below). Hell even Burrows only has 1 goal in his last 7 games. He looks like he is struggling and frustrated. The Sedins and Kesler can't do it all by themselves. Those other guys need to chip in. Will Sergei Shirokov make an immediate impact on line 2? I can't wait to see him play again.
-Vancouver holds a huge 12 point lead over the Avalanche for top spot in the Northwest Division. Colorado is fighting for their playoff lives, sitting in 8th spot only 1 point ahead of the 9th place Sharks.
-Colorado has not played since Friday, a 4-1 win over Minnesota. They will be well-rested against a Canucks team playing it's final game of a 5 game road trip. This will be the Canucks' 4th game in 6 nights.
-The Canucks are 8-0-1 in their last 9 against the Avalanche, outscoring them 38-19 in the kickass process.
LINKS
- Mason Raymond has four goals and seven assists in his last nine against Colorado, producing at least a point in all but one contest. (Avalanche.com Game Preview)
-Chris Stewart, a deadly weapon for the Avs, returned to action last game in a 4-1 win against the Wild. He had not played since November 27.
-More on Shirokov and adjustments from not making the team in September. (The Province)
-Shirokov's entrance into the Canucks' lineup may mean Jeff Tambellini's exit. He was absent from practice Monday. (Vancouver Sun-Puck World).

the refs
Hopefully the refs are more awake at the end of the game than last time these 2 teams met. That was ridiculous how the Avs were allowed to play with seven players last time
not that it really mattered with the 7 players, they had absolutely no chance of forcing overtime with those couple minutes left.

why
would Tambo be out? Bolduc is out too and Tambo is on the third line. This only means that Volpatti might draw out, with Hansen, Tambo and Glass on the fourth…
Well, one player is supposed to be scoring. The other is supposed to be crashing into people and fighting. One of them isn’t doing their job.

yeah but their role is generally greater than Tambo’s. Their time for benching may come. Not Money M though.

I'm so glad I get to watch this game while packing...
for my trip to Vancouver!
STruggling to get tix atm. I was hoping there’d be some “last seats in the house” available (team site says every monday at 10am), but they’re charging full price for Thursday’s game (for now). There’s a pair of tickets in Section 315 row 4 going for 75 each on ticketexchange (the Canucks “official” ticket resale thing) but i have nobody to go with :(
Sometimes they release tickets mid-morning on game day, but the Sharks are usually a good draw, so I wouldn’t count on it.

Tamby is just in a cold streak. Happens to the best of them. Lets not write him off yet. Same with the rest of them. 6 games in 9 nights across 3 time zones is tough!
That being said, they will summon some energy for this divisional matchup. Last one of the road trip, then home to lick some wounds.
BTW- isn’t it neat how some in the media have latched on to this ( lost 2 of 3, shut out in 2 of 3, and all that? )Like suddenly one of the top offensive teams in the league has no talent.
Yes, its a little surprising the boys offense dried up a bit. It happens. Avs and their “best defense is a good offense” credo are just what the boys need.
4-1. Shark with the GWG.

Yeah it’s amazing how suddenly they have become a bunch of bums. In psychology they call it “recency bias”.
Another example of the recency effect is applied by trial lawyers. They call key witnesses at the end of the trial (or the beginning to take advantage of the primacy effect), so the jury keeps them in mind when they deliberate.
Beantown probably uses this tactic every day, lol.

Well, we can’t be potting 3-4 goals a game all season, I expect lulls to happen, and if it isn’t a prolonged slump, I really wouldn’t worry about it. LeBrun also attributes the recent lack of scoring to just playing a ton of road games recently, and all things considered, our road record is STILL much improved.
I’m a little surprised by the lack of points from Hank, he seems to consistently be able to put a 2nd assist or something up on the board, so for him to be pointless for 3 games is a bit of a surprise. Perhaps that’s how spoiled we’ve become.
The third line’s lack of production recently is definitely more troublesome, although I will give the 4th line some slack, since AV’s resumed his roster-rotating ways, especially the 4th line, so they’ll probably need some time to gel. Torres is streaky as hell, and to a large part, so is FU Sweden. Malhotra’s probably more consistent, but keep in mind he’s never been much of a points producer also . Maybe we just need to call out FU Sweden more often to piss him off.
MayRay’s still struggling to score this season, and that’s unfortunate. I was expecting a further increase in production from him this season.
One thing that’s bothering me….. does anyone expect Bieksa to play like this if he’s given a new contract? Or do you see his stellar play as a contract-year flash-in-the-pan?

HOLY HELL
Check out this BOMBSHELL on Puck Daddy
he word filtering out of the Pittsburgh Penguins is that Crosby is an angry young man, angry enough to pull his considerable star presence from one of the league’s showcase events because he does not think the NHL is doing enough to protect its players. An NHL source said Crosby is not likely to tell the NHL he is withdrawing from the all-star game to protest the fact neither player who hit him on the head was suspended. However, he could easily decline and cite the need for complete recovery from a mild concussion.
The source said Crosby, who showed up at the all-star game in Montreal two years ago even though he sustained a knee injury and could not play, is not inclined to do any more such favours right now.

Don’t see it as a bombshell. I like Crosby, and thank him for the Gold Medal goal, but he should get over himself.
The Steckel thing looked like an accident to everybody…what’s to be mad about there Sid? That you did not get special attention and protection because you are Sid?
The Hedman hit should have been a penalty, but they did not call it, like happens a fair amount in the game we love. Its a quick dangerous one. What’s the complaint there Sid?
I get that he thinks the league should do a better job of protecting the players. That is ALL the players Sid, not just the big stars. You meant everyone and not just you right?
Its a third party story though. Maybe its not true. If it is, tough titty Sid. You sound like a whiner.

pretty much no one. He knew what he was doing. I like how the article says that he wants to NHL to do a better job protecting its players and you wonder if he means the players and not just himself yet you also say he sounds like a whiner. All from a “story” with zero quotes.

Maybe I should say it looked innocent to me. But thats not true either. Don Cherry said it was on purpose, Doug MacLean said it was clean and innocent. So did everyone else at Hockeycentral. Kipper said maybe.
So, making a broad pronouncement like “no one” is just not true. Lets say its contentious and leave it at that. I thought it looked innocent and you do not…but even the so called experts are split on it.
I said that Sid sounds like a whiner, and when he is saying “the players” he means himself. I believe that. If he was flying the “player” flag, he would have complained more in recent hockey history. Like the Matt Cooke hit. Guerin spoke his mind on that one in the same locker room where Sid was quiet about it. Complaining long and loud now ( if the article is to be believed ) seems a bit less than sincere.
Bottom line is this article is all third hand and probably bullshit, but it does not preclude that, if it is not bullshit, he is making a lot of noise about this because he was hurt. On two plays where the refs saw nothing wrong, or, decided nothing really wrong had happened. ( I do think the Hedman hit should have been a penalty )
He sounds like a bit of a whiner to me on this one Section. You are welcome to your own interpretation. Still love him as a player though.

Shanahan said he came out today
and said if he can play he will and Shanny said he couldn’t have been more cooperative. Now Shanny could just be saying that to help the kid out but I tend to believe that over a completely made up opinion piece. Just think you shouldn’t be so quick to jump to conclusions and judgments. But I could be wrong.

If Sid
Played for the Canucks you would never say that. I’m not sure about—the article. I DO Know
that if medical has not cleared Crosby He sill NOT play.
And yes, the NHL does NOTdo enough to protect it’s players. Plain and simple.

I don’t know about that. Maybe I’d be pissed to lose my best player…
I don’t want to sound like I don’t care, but that did not look like a hit to me, just a collision. It just looked like Steckel was going up ice when Sid turned into him. I hope he is OK and all.
I just did not think it was on purpose. From all the media and what not I have read about it, I would doubt the “most of us” characterization as well….there does seem to be two camps on it.
The only way you can protect players from an accidental collision is to put them in bubble wrap and say…no hitting whatsoever. And accidents will still occur.
Nuck’s Misconduct Reverend/ Church of the kesLORD."At the beginning of the game I said to myself, "I completely forgot that the Canucks signed Hamhuis." Then after watching that game I was reminded why he was one of the most sought after FA’s this off-season. Him and Bieksa killed our top line tonight." MyFriendCorey-Japers Rink. 1/14/11
If it was an accidental collision
Steckel wouldn’t have just kept skating away. He didn’t look back. When you run into something by mistake your first instinct is to turn and look to see what happened.

This leads me to the following conclusion, (actually, I’m stealing this observation from Ferraro, but it makes a lot of sense).
With them picking up all these bottom-6 guys, they’re probably planning on promoting someone already on their bottom-6 up, and trading a forward for some D help. Ferraro suggested someone like Setoguchi. Discuss.

to who?

they’re still only 9th in the conference. at this rate, if they can find a good D player to trade for, it could boost them into the playoffs.

what is the point in trading a top-6 forward to a team that you are competing with for a playoff spot, which in the west, excepting Calgary, Edm and Minny (on the bottom) and Van, Det & Dallas (at the top) is everyone. Your trade becomes a wash, it’s not like they are philly, which has a forward corps of basically all elite second line players, with a couple of first liners sprinkled in.
Not entirely.
It’s about addressing what you need. Some D would help to mitigate some of the pressure on their goalies.
And, if they package some picks, they can probably land a really good Dman to boost them into the playoffs, which is all that matters for them at this point.

normally, yes
but think this way – they are hardly bursting at the seams with forwards. Often trades can be a big + for both teams as each team gives up an asset they don’t need, for one they do. This isn’t such a case and may have the effect of bolstering another team, while simply re-balancing your lineup.
No idea. But, why sign/deal for a bunch of 3rd 4th line guys. Plus, if they’re trying to add grit, they wouldn’t have added Wellwood. If they’re looking for skill, they wouldn’t have gotten Eager……
My initial thoughts were that there would be more moves involved…

San Jose has their own cap problems. They wouldn’t do it just to screw the Blues… considering their cap issues.

No way
No way in the world they trade Setoguchi. That would result in the Sun Belt equivalent of hockey-related rioting (about 3 phone calls to the local sports station here, KNBR)
hell >I< would be pissed.

The Sharks
Still have a bunch of leftovers from Xmas in the team fridge – this is just a proactive way to deal with that issue.
February 28 - Sidney Crosby scores the dramatic winning goal in overtime of the Olympic final, then puts his gold medal in his trophy case next to his Stanley Cup ring. Meanwhile, Alex Ovechkin scores the dramatic winning goal in overtime of the Olympic final, then puts his copy of NHL 11 back on the shelf next to Guitar Hero.

Can I play?
5-2 Canucks.
Winning goal by the less creepy Sedin.
And can I also say that I hate playing the Canucks. Every time I see Vancouver on the schedule my poor little fat dumb American heart almost stops. It’s not that I dislike the team or the players, it’s just every time we play the Canucks my team turns into a gang of 8 year old just happy to be playing in daddy’s game….

On my way to the Canucks game now, I so hope they don’t take a crap.
Go Canucks!
Hockey keeps us sane. Life would suck without it.
Let's go Pens! Let's go Canucks!
