PrintHappy New Year! Hope you're enjoying the Winter Classic and Kent's open thread. I got thrown off my routine a bit this morning with the holiday and the time change on the Classic. Here's a shot of links to get you set for tonight's Canucks match-up with the Sharks, as well as some bits from the Classic and around the league.
Vancouver Canucks news & notes:
- The team is determined to start 2012 with a better effort than the one they ended 2011 with. The Canucks have been a great bounce-back team the past few seasons, so hopefully we see that. The Sharks have been circling; they haven't played since last week's OT loss to Vancouver. [Vancouver Sun]
- Chris Higgins returns for tonight's game. Good news, but how effective will he be after a few days of unsuccessfully trying to keep down hospital food? [The Province]
- CHB lists the 10 most memorable Canuck moments of 2011. [Canucks Hockey Blog]
- If you're looking for a more in-depth review, Harrison Mooney brings the goods. This is exhaustive! [Pass it to Bulis]
NHL news & notes:
- We all now know Ilya Bryzgalov did not start in the Winter Classic today. Is Bryz starting to become a bit of an unwanted distraction for the Flyers, or is the media using the HBO coverage and the dollar amount on his contract to make a bit too much of this? [Sporting News]
- Puck Daddy hands out awards in a variety of categories for 2011. Beer league name of the year? The Hat Trick Swayzes. Amazing. [Puck Daddy]
- Dave Lozo picks his "All 2011" line; 3 forwards, 2 defencemen, and 1 goaltender. Spoiler: one of our favourite Swedish gingertwins makes an appearance. [Canucks.com]
- Cam Charron with the final "Don Cherry Confused Me" of 2011. [Legion of Blog]

People are thinking Bryz has lost his marbles? Yeah right. Many goalies don’t have many to begin with. I love the way he jokes / is sarcastic with the media. I’m not reading anything into it except that he has to play better.

Maybe
Laviolette needs to unwind just a tad.
Warm winds blowing, heating blue sky, and a road that goes forever...

I don’t think I know the whole story. Taking a week of from hockey while on vacation will do that to you
