Tonight's lines:
|
Minnesota Wild |
Vancouver Canucks |
|
Miettinen - Koivu - Bouchard Reitz - Schultz Harding |
Sedin - Sedin - Demitra Ohlund - Mitchell Schneider |
NOTES:
- Vancouver rookie goaltender Cory Schneider (3.24 GAA / .889 save %) is still looking for his first NHL win. He’s 0-2 lifetime.
- The Canucks look to prevent a fifth consecutive loss for the first time in almost three years
- The Canucks have gone 1-4-0 without Luongo
- Mikko Koivu is 4-6 for 10 points in this 6 game scoring streak.
Questions to Answer
- With no Luongo, and Sanford pulled last night, can the Wild jump on the third Canuck keeper they've faced this season?
- Will they build on a strong showing against St. Louis?
- Will the Sedin's telepathy once again destroy the Wild chance of winning?
- Does Mikko keep it up again? Is his back hurting from carrying the team?
- Will the Wild lead the Northwest after tonight?

End of 1. 1-0 Canucks
Burns jumped from behind and Veilleux tripped after the whistle. I hate Vancouver. Shocking that it was Burrows who took the cheapshot after the horn
This was not a good first period. Luckily they’re only down 1-0.

Pathetic
Mitchell tries to get three guys to fight Boogaard, then Burns goes toe to toe with Jaffray, and Jaffray is lucky he didn’t lose consciousness.
Boogaard gets a roughing and 10 minute misconduct for getting jumped by three guys. Fucking ridiculous.
The refs want to get Boogaard off the ice just because people are attacking him. That’s ridiculous.
Absolutely uncalled for. Boogaard gets run, gets hit, gets slashed and nothing happens to Mitchell????
