btw, Gerber got an automatic 3 game suspension for abuse of official He bumped the ref (for a goal that was counted after he got speared along with the puck into the net)
The goal shouldn't have counted, but his behaviour was wrong and punished. Thats how it should be. The AHL should give their heads a shake.
Lesson learned out of all this? If you want to get your point across, throw your goalie stick.
also cal playing cbj as well, hope its not one of those 3 pt games
After the fact, but tbh I dont care if CBJ catches us or not. In fact I'd prefer it if we don't get 3rd or 4th since if we're 6th we'd play Calgary in the first round =D

still pretty close, and considering our road woes as of late i think home ice would be invaluable. at this pt in the season, i just want it over with and see some playoffs alrdy :D
oh and tj oshie, what a stud, kid's got game, hope he makes their olympic team
wow did anyone catch the 5-0 wn for columbus over calgary last night? Steve Mason the rookie is a stud... 10th shutout this season. He should win the calder trophy and the vezina. Hopefully the canucks can beat the avalanche today. I say 4-3 nux
yeah what a game though i can't wait for playoffs now if it's this much emotion in it. I still say nucks can take anyone in the first round. Go Canucks Go!
Anyone think mason should get the vezina? LOL I mean brodeur hasn't played enough games and kipper's got a lot of wins but he's been slumping. Maybe Luongo? He has got 7 shutouts and his record is pretty good too .
Any other year, Mason won't even be a finalist. But this year with so many starters having missed time because of injury or poor play, I think Mason just might win. Nabokov/Kipper are kinda in the same situation in that they have the wins, thats about it. Thomas is kind of alternating with Fernandez, but I think he'll have to be a finalist. Off the top of my head, I think Vokoun in Florida is having a nice year after reclaiming the starting spot from Anderson. Backstrom is having a nice year for Minnesota too. But can you really award the Vezina to a team that doesn't make the playoffs? (Outside looking in right now right?) Lundqvist will get some consideration since he plays in New York, but his year is so so at best too.
normally u'd find one or two guys above the rest, but this year there are a number of guys in the running, u can justify a number of those guys getting consideration
id venture to say the finalist are thomas/mason/nabby kipper might nudge out nabby based purely on wins, but his other numbers are very pedestrian
oh right forgot all about backstrom in minnesota... Heard that if minny doesn't work anything out with gaborik, he might come to the canucks next season to play with demitra. What do u think of gabby coming here?
Depends on what price. If the Sedins stay and Ohlund/Sundin leaves, then I guess I'm ok with that. Best case scenario is we only lose Sundin and replace him with Gaborik though.
I personally don't really want him here. Seemingly a bit of a defensive liability despite all his offensive skills. Plus hes not the biggest guy in the world right? 5'10 or so?
well if we sign him, then of course he'll be in the lineup whether he'll be in AV's doghouse or not is another story ;)
At the price he'll want though, I dont know if building a team around him is a good idea, thats what I'm saying. If he comes here, its most likely bye bye Sedins
that's true if gaborik comes here it's most likely the sedins will go but i also heard Mike Gillis is interested in Marian Hossa but i think the red wings will resign him. I wouldn't mind seeing hodgson and grabner next year

good win by the nucks today, got a lil scrappy when the hawks started goin after daniel
the bieksa fight was not bad, like a brawl and a bodyslam in there, bieksa prob lost the fight tho

Sedin Sedin Burrows
Demitra Kesler Gaborik
Glass line!
we'll have hodgson as well, so that'll be a nice addition regardless
im sure the canucks will give him every opportunity to develop into an impact player, they arent gonna keep him out of the lineup
whether he'll be in AV's doghouse or not is another story ;)
