Columbus @ Vancouver Canucks!!!
Columbus at Vancouver
TV: Sportsnet; RADIO: CKNW TIME: Friday, 7pm. PST. GAME: Columbus Blue Jackets :087: (4-10-0) at Vancouver Canucks (9-2-2). Lex1  The Vancouver Canucks will try to match their longest home winning streak :fanclub: to start a season when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets at GM Place tonight. The Canucks improved to 6-0 at home as Ed Jovanovski and Jarko Ruutu scored in a 2-1 victory over Minnesota on Wednesday. :228: Jovanovski has scored goals in three straight home games during the run. Vancouver has also scored 25 of its 45 goals this season at home. :somatic: Vancouver has not started a season with seven straight home wins since 1980-81 :294: . That team, led by Dave "Tiger" Williams' 35 goals and 343 penalty minutes, did not win more than three home games in a row for the remainder of the season. :punch: The Canucks will look to rookie goaltender Alex Auld to help them even the mark. Auld, playing in place of injured starter Dan Cloutier (concussion), made 16 of his 31 saves in the third period against the Wild. :mexitoke: "There wasn't much to get rattled about tonight," said Auld,  who was playing just his 20th NHL game. "I just think it's important to keep all those things inside and you've just got to show everyone else nothing, that's the biggest thing."The Blue Jackets lost their fifth straight road game Thursday, 2-1 to Calgary :Serotonin . They also lost their star player for at least one game as left wing Rick Nash suffered a left knee injury on a knee-on-knee hit from Calgary's Rhett Warrener :gilkayo: . Nash was playing in just his second game after missing 11 with a high ankle sprain. "I've already been frustrated all year, :sh4un: " said Nash, who was seen hobbling to the team bus after the game. "There's no point getting more frustrated :sh4un: . I don't know what to do anymore:sh4un:. It's part of the game :sh4un: . It's an injury :sh4un: . I've got to stay positive :sh4un: :sh4un:." <-hahahahah Nash finished tied with Calgary's Jarome Iglinla and Atlanta's Ilya Kovalchuk for the NHL lead in goals with 41 in 2002-03. Columbus right wing David Vyborny's goal  Thursday made him the franchise's all-time points leader, surpassing Geoff Sanderson, dealt earlier this season to Phoenix.Vyborny has 71 goals and 98 assists in his career. In 16 games against the Canucks, however, he has just three goals and six assists. So with all that in mind...I think the Canucks stand a good chance tonight..but with Calgary visiting us tomorrow...will the canucks work less tonight, more tonight, or fuck it they should be working hard every night like Detroit does!? It will be a close game tonight. :smoke1: Last edited by Antenna_Boy; Nov 04, 05 at 11:28 AM.

Ya but Nazzy and Bert gotta start scoring actually that whole top line needs to get their engines going again. For awhile that line was doing well again with morrison on a point streak and naslund doing well but its kinda come to a halt.
Bonus RICK NASH is out which means Auld's job and the canucks defenders will have a way easier ti me or at least they should
