Two great starts, two bad finishes and one lucky win.

The Vancouver Canucks got off to two great starts VS. Detriot Red Wings and the Anahiem Ducks. But they ended up playing extremely poorly over the next 2 periods and earning themselves a couple of losses. Detriot won 5-4 in regulation and Anahiem won 7-2 in regulation. Tonight's game was dissapointing but right now when we have so many injuries the most we can hope for is to get as many points as possible until we get some players back. We played a very defensive minded game VS. L.A. Kings on Thursday. It worked out for the better as we kept the game 1-1 and won it in a shoot out with goals from Ryan Kesler and Mikael Samuelsson. On Sunday we are playing the suprisingly good Colorado Avalance. I will be attending the game so I hope we will have a great and exciting game which will turn in to 2 points for us. Letss hope we have next to no injuries anymore for the rest of the season and all our injured players will have a speady recovery. GO CANUCKS GO!

What A Game.

The first game in Chicago against the chicago blackhawks since we were eliminated in the Second Round of the playoffs last season. The Vancouver Canucks played really good. We are the first team ot get more shots against the blackhawks in a game. We out worked, hit and played them. The only thing really holding them in the game was their goalie making some great saves. Roberto Luongo also made some great saves as well. After Willie Mitchell Got a penalty he steped out of the box and laid out Toews with a bone-crushing clean hit.

Chicago ended up with a extra penalty for attacking Mitchell after the hit and this gave us alot of momentum. Shortly after Chicago goon Dustin Byfuglien high sticked Kevin Bieksa and earned himself a 4 minute penalty. Michael Grabner scored near the end of the final 2 minutes of the penatly to even the score. 3 minutes later Mikael Samuelsson stole the puck off a chicago player and snapped a soht into the back of the net. The Vancouver Canucks win 3-2. GO CANUCKS GO!

Hat Tricks.

A Vancouver Canuck has not got a a hat trick in a few years. I am just curious as to who you think will get our next Hat Trick. I would have guessed that it was going to be Daniel Sedin but now that he is injured I am going to go with Henrik Sedin. GO CANUCKS GO!

Game VS. The Oilers.

The Vancouver Canucks game out firing again tonight and it looked like it would be a long night for the Edmonton Oilers after Steve Bernier scored his second goal this season. But the Canucks let up a bit for the last couple minutes of the 1st period. Rick Rypien lay another beating on Zack Stortini. Late in the 3rd with the score tied 1-1 the oilers score on a weird luck bouncer of a goal. The Canucks then woke up angain and were pressuring for the last 7 minutes. There was a couple missed called by the refs. One when Alex Burrows dropped his stick and while attempting to pick it up Hemsky pushed it into the corner, a matter of seconds after that Henrik Sedin passed the puck right to where Burrows was standing. Had Burrows stick not been pushed away he might have had a great oppertunity to score. Henrik Sedin was slashed a minute or so later and he was in agony skating back to the bench. Lets hope that he doesn't have a broken finger or something. With the goaltender pulled Edmonton got a 2 on 1 which turned into a 1 on 0 but Alex Edler made an amazing poke check from behind to knock the puck away. Kyle Wellwood picked up the puck behind our goal with 9 seconds left and he began down the ice. With a set of great moves Kyle found himself in alone on the oilers goalie. Wellwood scored and the Canucks were celebrating as the ref waved the goal off. They went upstairs and it showed on the replay that the puck crossed the line just after the clock ran out of time. It is still good to see that we are getting close to 40 shots on goal most games. But our finishing needs to improve. Roberto Luongo looked alot better tonight, lets hope he can keep it up. Our powerplay was 0 for 5 and we are 0-4 on the road so far this season. We play on Wednesday in Chicago, this will be the first meeting of these 2 teams since the Canucks were eliminated in Round 2 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs last season. GO CANUCKS GO!

Roberto Luongo

After signing a 12 Year 63 Million dollar deal Roberto Luongo looked like mid-season form in the pre-season. Only to let us all down and begin his usual slow start in October. Well the upside is that we can look forward to his usual record setting shut out streak in November. The Canucks play the Minassota Wild tonight at GM Place, before heading off for a game in Edmonton.
