Around SBN: Roy Nelson Willing to Pay for His Next Opponent's Drug Test

Coyotes 3 Canucks 1

Gotta keep this game in focus. The Canucks outshot the Dogs 47-29 in this one but the 47 shot total for the Canucks has to have surprised a lot of people, myself included. For most of the game the play/pressure would dictate that kind of lopsidedness. But Jason "Barbie" Labarbera hardly stole this game as much as the Canucks didn't provide a lot of quality chances or even finish on the quality chances given. I don't want to shit on Barbie's parade, because he was solid. But the Canucks did have an extended 5 on 3 early in the 3rd that they absolutely failed to capitalize on, while the score was still 0-0. The Lapierre failed 3 on 1 rush comes to mind as well. Fruitless.

The Coyotes are known for their stifling defence and really showed it tonight. Not in the sense that they gave up too many shots, but more in the fact that they limited the Canucks' quality chances against. 0-0 game with about 9:00 left.....then Alexandre Burrows gets called for a completely hokus boarding call on Vernon Fiddler..putting the Canucks down a man for 5:00. Such is the over sensitivity of the NHL nowadays. Hey, you fucking liberals wanted player safety, now the refs call that kind of bullshit. Like Mike Brophy said post game: these are sensitive times. Phoenix unloaded with 2 late PP goals on that major penalty and ended this one.

At least Burrows and Vigneault bit their tongues post game on the terrible boarding call.

Bottom line: the Canucks controlled the play for most of that game but didn't get it done on the scoresheet. Great job, Barbie, lousy job Canucks.

Star-divide

-Eric Belanger had 2 assists in this one...so that adds up to 1 goal and 4 assists in his last 2 games against the Canucks.

-1 goal and 1 assist for both Shane Doan and Radim "streaky" Vrbata.

-Daniel Sedin had 7 shots and 1 assist

-That's 2 good games for Christian Ehrhoff in a row. 1 goal, 5 shots and a 0 +/- for him tonight. He also led the Canucks in PP time on ice. He played over 27:00 tonight, more than any other player.

-The Canucks were 0-for 5 on the PP.

-The Canucks were doing fine on the PK until the Burrows major, making the call even more frustrating

-Maxim Lapierre, according to NHL.com led the Canucks' forwards in shorthanded time on ice (4:33) closely followed by Chris Higgins (4:29).

-HIGHLIGHTS:

Alain Vigneault post game:

BOXSCORE

It was even more noticeable live… Canucks just couldn’t get quality shots on net. Labarbera was good but not great. As well that blatant not tripping call on hank with lui pulled?? What BS was that?!? Led to phoenix’s empty netter…

I watched the game at a friends house
Im not even upset about the outcome. We’ve established that we’re the best. Nothing to prove anymore except in the playoffs. Im okay with losing a game every so often. And this coming from the guy who freaks out over everything.

I thought the Burr call was absolute horseshit. That should be 2 minutes, not 5 and a game. But I guess it was a little too close to comfort for the league.

We still have to prove we can consistently beat stifling defensive teams. The sample size isn’t that big, but whenever a team collapses down low we don’t play that well. Nashville next week will be a good test

last week in Phoenix. We just have to remember to feed it back to the more than capable D and have them let loose. There’s no point in trying the down-low play when a team plays so bori—-I mean, tight defensively.

But they kept trying the down low plays when they obviously weren’t working. And I know we beat them in Phoenix last week, which is why I said “consistently” beat them. We’re 2-2 against the Coyotes, 1-2 against the Preds, 0-4 against the Rangers, Habs, and Bruins…

You forgot...as well...

The Canucks can only do so much. When it is the "struggling market " teams…sometimes its a bit tougher going against the OTHER guys on the ice.

Watch out for the Wings…3 versus them? Think they would not love putting out a division rival?

I know from watching the interviews last week that the Canuck players sure loved throwing a wrench in the Flames post season plans…

Can't really blame the loss on Turco

he was just trying to generate some O on those plays. Oh yes that one was definitely craptastick and the worst we have played all year. I really don’t think they are going to let it happen in the games coming up. Toews will eat the team alive if it does.

Thats true.

The thing I would find troubling for Hawk fans is the run of losses after the 8 gamer.

Picked up some sucker points along the way, but that can’t feel good.

I do love you guys though. The talk of the inevitable SECOND round matchup…looking past even making the playoffs, let alone winning against anyone there.

( and that might be us. Would not that be fun huh? )

Not sure about the next biggest game this season. I do know I have little memory of a race this intense, and I am so glad the Canucks have other things to concern themselves with this year.

Nucks really didn’t make the best of their chances, no doubt.

Unfortunate call on Burrows. Should have been 2 minutes. I think that was all “concussions are a problem right now, we better come down extra hard!” from the refs, which I understand on a certain level. I chalk this up to speed of play / inevitable ref error (inevitable as in,“they will occasionally screw up,” not as in “they always screw up”).

John Garret mentioned the new concussion-worry-15-minutes-in-a-quiet-place procedure. Then he mentioned that Vern Fiddler was only gone 8 minutes. I realize this is a new introduction, etc., but it seems like the early return shouldn’t be allowed. It goes totally against the point of having the procedure in the first place. It would be a change for the future, but it seems to me that they should be levying heavy fines/suspensions to the coach for an early return. That, or just ditch the procedure altogether.

Didn’t Bettman say it was at the discretion of the doctors? If the docs clear him he plays.
Fuck. I’m still mad at the call, but really, the Canucks get 4 days off and I’m sure that’s all they care about so why should I waste my time? If we were struggling for a playoff spot I’d still be very pissed at not only the refs, but the effort of the Canucks as well.

BTW, I used to love the Hawks. I still love their history, before 2008 that is. They are our enemy. I hate the current team because of it. I can still yippetty yap with the fanbase but don’t like the team. The canucks owe them no favors at all, nor am I supportive of them doing so. Stacie, I don’t get why you can’t understand my cruelty in that sense. If I ran over Kane I’d probably keep driving and hope his fat head didn’t put a dent in my grill. That’s hate. That’s rivalry. Not towards you personally, but towards your team.

I don’t even actually dislike the team…,I respect their skill (Toews is awesome) and I like the fans…..but I can’t help but get a little bit excited by the thought of them missing the playoffs.

CHI was clearly the better team the last 2 years IMO (at least on D, and composure-wise), so it’s not like they didn’t deserve their wins over us, but I can’t help resenting the outcome. Watching the Nucks shoot themselves continually in the foot in the ’10 playoff series was painful.

How did the Hawks get brought up in this again?

It’s OK Sean I get the hate. I understand that you have no love for my team. My favorite team is your enemy and will be for many years to come. You will never love Kane, Hossa, and probably even someone like Bolland. Deep down I don’t know if I could really like Burrows. I don’t come here expecting love from you guys. I’m here out of my love for the sport (and OT conversation). It’s OK dude – we’re all good and can be friends (even if you are just a smug, preening Canucks fan).

The Hawks got brought up again because you said above:
Well made that request last week

and they basically laughed at me. Something tells me deep down Sean and company really don’t like the Hawks and don’t want to help us.

I just like giving you a hard time.

I’d wouldn’t Pat Kane………..

if he retired his mouthguard and quit hockey

grumble
@patersonjeff: Unofficially I’ve got #canucks 0 for 10 on 2-man advantages this season. 5 have been over a minute long. 2 have been 2:00

so AV needs to look into his stats more, because he was saying post game that the 2 man advantages generally were not all that long in duration

I don't remember all of them

But I can recall at least a couple recently that have been > 1 minute. PITB is right – best way to kill a penalty when facing the Canucks is to take another!

Statistical anomaly I'd say.

Really, the sample size is far too low to generate anything meaningful from such a stat. Only 10 5 on 3’s? Not enough to say they’re bad at ’em. Just an oddity.

I dunno man. TEN 5 on 3’s is a large enough sample IMO.

Considering that

Everyone else has at least two 5 on 3 goals I’d say so.

We are DOOMED!!!!

Its nothing. Tyr and I don’t agree on some things. But on this I agree.

Its a “who cares” stat.

Everyone else have the best PP in the league then? No? Exactly.

It must be even better to overcome such an “embarrassment”!

Could be you guys are right

Assuming we do suck at 5-on-3’s, I wonder why that is so?

Various reasons. I can recall solid goaltending and the Canucks getting 2 fancy as 2 reasons right off the bat. Not getting the puck through and on-net as a third reason. Lots to the outside. Perimeter over-passing. I could go on all day
