more losses.. but one was almost a shutout!!!

tues. jan 13 - 5-3 loss to new jersey. it began with 3-0 for devils, then 4-1 in third period, almost tied 4-3 near the end, then they got an empty net.
thurs. jan 15- 4-1 loss to phoenix. luie came back, but was rusty.
sun. jan 18 - 6-5 shootout loss to columbus. both teams were head to head the entire time, staying on each others' toes with the scoring. almost every nucks forward had a goal or assist.
tues. jan 20 - 2-1 overtime loss to san jose. amazing game. nucks really played well this time. unfortunately, sharks scored and made it 1-1 only 39 seconds before a shutout would have materialized!!!!!! it goes to overtime, where they win!!!! it went from 1-0 canucks to 2-1 sharks in 3:47!!!!! so close!!!!!!!!!

nucks now get over a week off for the all-star break.
