These 2 teams will play 4 more times this season. The Canucks have beaten the Avs twice this season and have outscored them 9-0. How about them apples? Well, that won't mean anything if the Canucks continually dish out mediocre and inconsistent efforts. I swear, sometimes I think this team needs a 5 game losing skid to learn something, because once again, goaltending bailed them out last night to get a point out of that crap.

The drought continues
The Avs get a goal, but thats it as a 4-1 win on Saturday afternoon will get dissected because they did not score five!
