What's this, a regulation loss? I don't get it. Last time this happened I was still committed to my New Year's resolutions ("don't throw up in 2012" is still going strong).
Truthfully, the Canucks have earned points in a lot of games since mid-January that they probably shouldn't have, so it's not the worst thing in the world to lose a game outright in which they actually played pretty OK. It happens. Now everyone can focus on the Red Wings tomorrow and their mammoth 23-game home winning streak. Breaking that would surely be a highlight of the season.
Here are your links, images, bad Photoshops, out-of-context quotes and wild generalities for Wednesday, February 22, 2012.
Vancouver Canucks News & Notes
As stated, the Canucks lost their first game in regulation in over a month last night. The difference was special teams. [The Province]
A photo gallery from last night's game. Not that you care to relive it. [Vancouver Sun]
How good has the 4th line been lately? Dale Weise chipped in with the lone goal last night. Manny Malhotra is on a 3-game point streak. Not bad for a line that has to move the puck 200 feet before it can even think about generating a scoring chance.
Last night Burrows played his 500th game for the Canucks, an incredible achievement for a guy who came so close to slipping through the cracks. He's now played 500 games, but his defining moment as a Canuck was his 425th. [Legion of Blog]
Zone start data is becoming more mainstream, but not everyone thinks they play a significant role. [Canucks Army]
CHB continues to look at trade deadline targets. This time it's Phoenix Coyotes power forward Shane Doan. [CHB]
Alex Edler picked up a camera on a recent flight on Air Canucks. Here are the results. The shot of Edler's iTunes playlist is a rare insight into the man they call Eagle. [Canucks]
Aw, sad Cody is sad! [PITB]
Today in Canucks History
[Feb 22, 1981] Dennis Kearns retires as the Canucks' all-time leader in games played (677) and the all-time leading scorer among Canuck defencemen with 321 points.
NHL News & Notes
The Red Wings, Lightning and Avalanche connected on a three-team deal yesterday involving D Kyle Quincey, F Steve Downie, and a first round draft pick. [National Post]
So this begs the question: why didn't the Avalanche just trade Quincey to the Wings for a 1st and a prospect? [Puck Daddy]
Good news if you hate the Flames: they got shit-kicked by the Oilers last night, while all the teams around them in standings — Dallas, Phoenix, and LA — got points. [CBC]
STAMKOS 50 GOAL COUNTDOWN: He netted his 41st and 42nd against the Ducks last night. [NHL]
Surprisingly, last night was Mike Ribeiro's first game back in Montreal since he was traded in 2006. Watch as he scores a big goal and is named the game's first star, and let's the crowd know what time it is. [Puck Daddy]
It sounds as if the San Jose Sharks are really going hard after Rick Nash. It's unclear whether Dough Wilson has changed his mind since the Blue Jackets laid a beating on the Sharks last night, and Jeff Carter had a hat-trick. [TSN]
How about Carter on the Buffalo Sabres? [The Hockey Writers]
Nathan Horton is nowhere close to returning to the Bruins' lineup. [Backhand Shelf]
Just in case there was any confusion: Paul Martin is not James Neal's girlfriend. [Pittsburgh Magazine]
Paul Martin. We lived together before I got my house. He's a great guy-goes about his business and doesn't say a word about it. We drive to the rink every day together and go out to dinner a lot. I mean, he's not my girlfriend or anything.
Today in NHL History
[Feb 22, 1984] Brothers Anton & Peter Stastny score 8 pts each NHL Quebec. Also it's Pat Lafontaine's birthday.

I am happy with 2nd in the conference thank you
I have been telling the folks at SCH that a 4th/5th place finish would be nice for them as well. Therefore we avoid the Wings/Hawks/Blues until the WCF. I have a feeling we may get Phoenix or LA in the 1st.
Lead writer of nothing, commenter on everything.
I’d rather play LA than Phoenix. Quick’s phenomenal, but who scores for the Kings?

I feel the opposite
LA has that douchebag element (Doughty, Richards, etc) that has a history of throwing the boys off their game. Rather just beat up on Phoenix.
starting to wonder if there's a call-up....

That 5th-round pick in 2013 becomes a 4th-rounder for Columbus if Phoenix wins a playoff round this year

Can't believe I am doing this
but I have nothing to do, and don’t want to go out, so I am watching Broons/Blues feed
I just hope for a really, really high scoring game…don’t really care who wins. hoping for some huge hits on Bahstan, and some fights!

he unfortunately made a nice move off of a Blues turnorver in their own zone for the lone goal so far
