Nux vs Flames 7pm cbc
  GAME: Vancouver Canucks (14-14-1) vs. Calgary Flames (13-10-3). Key injures might have been just what the Canucks needed. A variety of ailments to Sami Salo, Taylor Pyatt, and Rick Rypien in a 4-0 loss to the Oilers Monday forced Alain Vigneault to shuffle his line-up. The coach called up power-play specialist Yannick Tremblay from Manitoba and split Markus Naslund and the Sedin Twins. The result was a four-goal outburst in a 4-3 overtime win over Carolina. Tremblay had a goal and two assists in his seaosn debut as he helped the struggling Canuck power play go 4-for-9. “Morrison kept feeding me the puck all the time, so the only thing I had to do was shoot it,” said Tremblay. “I was coming here, trying to do my job of feeding the forwards. There’s a lot of scoring power on this team and if you get them the puck, they can do some good things.” Four goals equals the Canucks' entire output in the past four games combined. The defence wasn't nearly as sound as the Hurricanes rallied back with three straight goals in the third to force overtime - the last two coming 92 seconds apart with under three minutes to play. “Obviously at 3-0 we should have been able to shut it down there," said Vigneault, "but you’ve got to give credit where credit is due. They’re a really strong team and we made a couple of mistakes and took a couple penalties we shouldn’t have. They’re the defending Stanley Cup Champions and they tied it up.” Thankfully officials weren't done. After calling 15 penalties through regulation, they doled out one more to Scott Walker for delay of game and the Twins took over. Hank slid a puck through a pair of Carolina defenders to his brother at the far post for an easy tap-in and the win. Roberto Luongo stopped 36 shots earning his 14th win of the season. The win lifted the Canucks into a third place tie with the Flames, who topped the Wild in a shootout Thursday to move to 13-10-3. Calgary has won 10 of their past 13 games and have steadily climbed the Northwest ladder after a shoddy start to the year. They've won eight straight at the Saddledome and would be flirting with the Ducks atop the Western Conference if it weren't for a 3-7-3 mark away from home. The Flames have outscored opponents 27-6 during their current eight-game home streak, one shy of the franchise record, accomplished for the fourth time from Feb. 21-March 14, 1991. Goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff has been superb at home during the run, posting three shutouts and an 0.75 goals-against average. He is 10-3-0 with a 1.39 GAA in 13 home starts this season. Kiprusoff has also been helped by his penalty killers, who have allowed only four goals in 39 short-handed situations in the streak. Calgary had its three-game overall win streak snapped with a 3-2 shootout loss at Minnesota on Thursday. Captain Jarome Iginla and defenseman Rhett Warrener scored for the Flames, who rallied from a 2-0 deficit but dropped to 0-3-1 in their last four road games. Iginla's goal was his fourth in as many games, the 300th of his career and his 600th point. "It feels good. It's something you don't really think about along the way, but it was cool to get for sure," said the 10-year veteran. Iginla's linemate Daymond Langkow has also been a consistent producer lately, with two goals and eight assists during a seven-game points streak. The Flames stole a 3-2 victory out of GM Place November 11th as Kristian Huselius scored in the final three minutes of the game. Calgary leads the season series 1-0. Nucks 5-4 ot. :somatic:

Still hate him. Burrows gets pushed over easier than Morrisson too. Kids gotta learn how to stand his ground. Then he'll be a scorer.
