Morning Buzz: Canucks share the shutout love, NHL sees chiropractor
[Mgmt note: Everyone put down the donuts and Irish coffee real quick and give a round of applause for Jordan Clarke, our new morning links author and a debonair gentleman to boot.]
Well, this is my first morning post at Nucks Misconduct, and there is certainly no shortage of topics to cover. But just for a laugh, why not start with the home team? Come on and JUMP!
Admittedly, I did not watch last night's game against the Avalanche. Instead, I went and saw the Victoria Royals lose 6-2 to the Tri-City Americans. Man are they bad! But that's another post for another blog. In hindsight, not staying home to watch the Canucks was pretty unprofessional; sort of like skipping the orientation on the first day of a new job. Regardless, there appeared to be a lot to cheer for last night: Daniel Sedin's 5th career hat-trick, Jannik "Honey Badger" Hansen with 2 of his own, and the oh-so adorable shared shutout between Luongo and Schneider that resulted in them being named co-third stars of the game. After weeks of non-stop goalie talk, it was almost poetic to see both goalies play great and celebrate a shutout together (except most poems don't involve a puck in the throat, but you get the idea).
And now, the news:
Vancouver Canucks news:
- The American Express has officially gone into overdraft, as the Canucks lost David Booth to a suspected knee injury one day after Chris Higgins was claimed by zombies. Ian MacIntyre says "the angle of contact suggested Booth may have suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage", which is a perfectly normal thing for a sports columnist to notice, except it's not. Did Dr. Recchi stop by between naps and share his diagnosis with iMac? Booth will receive an MRI and we'll know more soon, in the meantime we do get a bit of good news as it appears Higgins will travel with the team this week. [The Province]
- It turns out the NHL's new conference realignment isn't all sunshine and lollipops, as a few of the Canucks have mixed feelings about it. [The Province]
- Thomas Drance asks the question, is Luongo's contract immovable? The short answer is "pretty much", but this is well worth the read. [CanucksArmy]
- Jannik Hansen is second amongst Canucks forwards with 9 even-strength goals on the year. NM's own Cam Charron takes a look at his underlying numbers. Turns out he is riding an unsustainably high shooting percentage. I am not the best with advanced stats, but I believe this means that if Hansen is looking to get anyone pregnant, now is a good time. [The Legion of Blog]
- After last night's game, the hockey world is back in balance, as Henrik passed Daniel in assists. Daniel is two points off Phil Kessel for the scoring lead, and one assist behind Patrick Kane and brother Henrik for the league lead. [NHL.com]
- Stadium Journey recently took a look at Rogers Arena, ranking it in terms of food prices, atmosphere and fans (those doing the wave notwithstanding since you aren't real fans). [Stadium Journey]
NHL news:
- As we all know, earlier in the week Garry Bettman played chiropractor on the NHL's conference structure. Daniel Wagner takes a look at the realignment, and wonders if a CFL or MLB-style system would work, to ensure the best teams make the playoffs every year. [Backhand Shelf]
- Ryan Lambert from Puck Daddy does battle with John Steigerwald, the guy who tried to link Alex Ovechkin to steroids. This is pretty magical. [Puck Daddy]
- The Minnesota Wild won again last night, despite being doubled in shots 42-21. Their hot streak is now on a Tim Tebow-like level. You want to watch mostly because you're waiting for them to fail spectacularly. The Canucks remain 6 points back in the Northwest.
- Speaking of streaks, the Boston Bruins had a rather long one ended last night as they lost in regulation for the first time in over a month. Andi Petrillo from CBC did a good piece on Zdeno Chara, who apparently is a certified financial planner and speaks 4 languages. This likely won't change our perception on him as Canucks fans. Everything that comes out of his mouth just sounds like wookie to me. [CBC]
- The latest from Bloge Salming/Down Goes Brown is IMO their best in a while. Is Alex Ovechkin a coach killer? [Down Goes Brown]
- Justin Bourne looks one of the biggest assets in Sidney Crosby's ever-expanding repertoire: his backhand. [Backhand Shelf]
-
Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to bringing da ruckus every morning!

Abbotsford, BC – The Abbotsford Heat is proud to announce an exclusive broadcast partnership with Shaw that will afford all Shaw subscribers across the Lower Mainland (Whistler to Hope) access to a live AHL game featuring the Abbotsford Heat and Chicago Wolves, the AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks.
Abbotsford has visited Chicago twice so far this season and came out on the winning end on both occasions. December 2nd saw the Heat extend its undefeated run in the shootout to four games with a 3-2 decision on the strength of Leland Irving’s net minding. Within 48 hours of their first game in Chicago, the Heat returned to the Windy City and earned another road win as they tamed the Wolves 3-1 on December 4th.
The game will be broadcasted on Thursday, December 22nd from the Allstate Arena in Chicago, Illinois with puck drop scheduled for 5:00 PM Pacific. Heat President Ryan Walter summed up his thoughts by saying “We’re excited about giving local fans the opportunity to view our game on Shaw Television.”

Hahaha, nice:
Jannik “Honey Badger” Hansen
He goes to the dirty areas cuz he just don’t give a shit. It gets nasty but he don’t care, he just gets that puck in.
a ginger ball hockey player... no wonder I'm a Canucks fan
Hansen is on the verge of becoming a dynamic, major two way player on this team. I remember hearing/reading from time to time the past two years that the best player during Canuck practices was Hansen. I’ve thought he’s had the best defensive hands and vision among the wingers for some time and now his offense is kicking in. He seems to have gained the confidence this season to realize his eye opening practice play on the Big Stage. AV has choreographed his evolution and predicts great things from him. That goal where CoHo performs some of his offensive zone passing magic (now fairly common for him) to Hansen, who makes a move only a player who is completely self contained can make, finishing it with a pass to Bieksa who soccers the puck from skate to stick and in the same motion a seeing eye pass to Hansen, who knew it was coming. Could be in contention for “goal of the whatever” cuz all three players shone, especially Hansen, just like the entire Sedin line performed like a perfectly precisioned jeweled clock on their masterpiece. Booth has given me that same feeling. Little doubt a major player who helps make his line a great one. With two outstanding goalies being consistently stingy, this team hopefully captures the winning spirit of the 2010-11 version and it’s exciting to behold. Hope the Defensive effort follows suit and begins allowing less shots. Ballard for one seems that he’s in need of some counseling.
Occupy Vancouver!
You know
Its nice that Kevin Porter is apologetic and all….but when you watch that hit, and hear this…
Asked about the knee-on-knee contact, Porter said: "I felt I was leading into the hit, and he tried to make a move around me . . . We hit knee-on-knee and he took the worst of it. I hope he’s alright."
it makes oyu wonder about the BS these guys feed themselves to get up in the morning.
He did not try to make a move on you Kev’. He was cutting right to the slot and you led with your knee. Cone one dude, you have thrown many hits in your career, you know you hung a knee…

It was one of the first things I was taught when coach told me about hitting. If you are not lined up to put the body in, you don’t lead with the knee. He led with the knee. I hope he gets several games.
He probably tore up the guy’s knee, and he is out for months. What ever his intentions is besides the point

To hear the politicking from the Denver Post, and the ( admittedly sincere, I am sure he feels horrible if it is someone he knows too ) apologies. Something tells me they are trying to avoid the suspension pretty hard.
Like their dumbass coach calling that shit “marginal”

to be totally fair
I’ve seen a lot worse examples of guys dragging the leg than the one from last night. Not that it’s excusable, just that I can understand the lack of suspension.
has that been decided?
I have not heard one way or another on Shanny and him.
I’ve seen worse too, when guys turn it or really hang it out. The thing he did though, leading with it, its like you are set and the other guy is not, and kablamo.
Hate that shit.

Flyers knot the game with Hartnell’s wrist shot off Ehrhoff’s shinpad. Tied 3-3 after down 3-0. Took just 15:08 to erase the deficit.
