sorry, i've been working a lot as well as celebrating the holiday season, so i haven't been consistent in watching games and updating here. i will get here more regularily when i get back to school next week.
boxing day: canucks beat oilers 4-1
-boxscore, highlights, NHL.com recap
last night: canucks whip flames 5-1
-boxscore, highlights, NHL.com recap, Nucks Misconduct recap
i saw a bit of the game, so i have some fun facts: kiprusoff was pulled after the 1st period after the canucks had scored 4 times, including a flukey goal by raymond. raymond had a hat trick!!!! the flames were incredibly sloppy
team updates:
-lots of rumours have been flying about gillis wanting to trade certain players (schneider is now on the list), as well as looking for certain players (kovalchuk was one last week). nothing has happened yet though.
-swedish Olympic roster was announced yesterday. both sedins made the cut, but samuellson and edler didn't. canadian one to be announced wednesday (luongo), american one on saturday (kesler). other potential olympians are salo for finland and demitra for slovakia (he's starting to practice with the canucks a bit again)
-conference standings. yes, that's right, by beating calgary last night we also jumped ahead of them in the standings!!! 7th in west, 2nd in NW. now this is more like it! now to get back to the top of the conference ideally before the Olympic road trip......
next games are tomorrow in phoenix at 6:00 pm on pay-per-view, then new year's eve in st. louis at 4:00 pm on rogers. check out Five For Howling for Coyotes coverage, and St. Louis Game Time for Blues coverage. as always, check the sidebar for more Canucks and NHL news.
