18 of the Canucks' 45 goals this season have come on the power play. Over their last 3 games (1-2) they have scored 6 PP goals out of 9 total. 8 out of 14 goals over their last 4 games (2-2). Vancouver's special teams is soaring in the NHL ranks lately, as you can see in the table above. Their scoring 5 on 5? Not so much. Last season, the Canucks killed on special teams AND 5 on 5. (PS: It's going to be a sweet thang when Line 2 gets going.) Vancouver finished 2nd at 5 on 5 goals for / against ratio only behind...Boston in the 2010-11. So, great game against Chicago 4 days ago, boys. Hope you enjoyed your golf outing / team building experience. But now it's back to business. And despite that sweet win over the jackass Hawks, the Canucks are 1-2 in their last 3,  2-2 so far on this road trip, and really need to finish strong in the final 2 games (back-to-back) against the Kings and QUACKS.

Star-divide

The Canucks have already played in 3 back-to-back situations this young season and have not won a single game. I shit you not. Was the win at the Madhouse (now the Sadhouse) a turning point for them? Is a winning streak in the cards? Answer: yes, because Aaron Rome has returned and he brings balance to the Force.

This has to be the best save Luongo has made over the past couple years:

Going to the game

Every year there has been more and more blue and green in the stands. Last year was ridiculous. It was like going to a Kings/Wings game and seeing the sea of Red.

I almost kind of miss the days of 5-7 years ago when there was only a handful of Canucks jerseys at Staples Center.

Yeah, but I always finish near the top on the SPW contest. Of course, I am the one doing the counting so…..ya just never know :)

But just to push Twitchy aside cruelly, we are 15 games in and the leader only has 5 points. It doesn’t take much to get into the thick of the race.

Weren’t we debating last season if we should hand out a point if you guess the right team but wrong score and GWG scorer?
