Sanford played a solid game last night. After that and the Pittsburgh game, I'm feeling a lot better about Luongo being off. Not great, and I'd obviously rather have Lu in net.
But the whole team's playing a better game which helps. |

For now he lets in one weak goal.. let's hope it doesn't snowball on him at some point. Also helps that the team in front of him is playing so well. Detroit had a lot of shots last night but I'd say we matched them in quality chances.
I'm actually curious to see Schneider in action. We should be giving him a few games of action to prove his value as a trading piece, given that we already have a great #1 and a competent backup. I'm drooling at the thought of what kind of scoring power forward we could get for the #1 goaltending prospect in the minors.. |

Vancouver Canucks @ Calgary Lames    Having found success with a newly formed line, the Calgary Flames go for a sweep of their home-and-home series with the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday as the Northwest Division rivals meet at the Pengrowth Saddledome. Flames coach Mike Keenan juggled his top line before Thursday's game at Vancouver, putting captain Jarome Iginla with Michael Cammalleri and Matthew Lombardi. The dividends were immediate, as Cammalleri posted his first career hat trick - scoring two goals on one-timers off feeds from Iginla - in a 4-3 win. "The best feeling about this is the win," said Cammalleri, who has seven goals and 16 points in 17 lifetime games against the Canucks. "Maybe we didn't say it out loud, but we were all thinking we need to win these two games to get back to where we want to be and you can't win them both if you don't win the first one." The hope is Iginla will be able to revitalize Cammalleri, who had scored just two goals in his previous 11 games. While Iginla did extend his point streak to five games, it may also serve as a jump-start for the captain against the Canucks (14-7-2), who held him without a point in sweeping a home-and-home series at the start of the season. "He can get (his shot) off quick," said Iginla about Cammalleri. "(Coach) shifted the lines and as a group all our lines are looking better and developing chemistry." Curtis Glencross snapped a 3-all tie with 6:31 left for the Flames (13-9-1), who have won four of their last five and are trying to win three straight for the first time since a six-game run from Oct. 21-Nov. 1. The Canucks had their lead atop the Northwest reduced to three points as they failed to get at least one point for the first time in 11 games (8-1-2). Vancouver, which has gone 5-0-1 in its last six away from home and starts a seven-game road swing with this contest, feels it can bounce back by keeping things simple. "They picked off a couple of pucks and made us pay tonight," said Canucks goalie Curtis Sanford, who is expected to make his fourth straight start in place of the injured Roberto Luongo. "And going on the road, we have to shore that up and get back to what we were doing when we were successful out there." Daniel Sedin extended his goal-scoring streak to five games, while twin brother Henrik notched his 400th career point - two fewer than Daniel - assisting on it. Vancouver went 0-for-4 on the power play Thursday, and is 1-for-18 in three games against Calgary this season. I remember when we all used to do predictions of the score and game winner. After the game lastnight, I think one of the Sedins has a good chance for another game winning goal. 3-2 nucks |

Just watching an interview with Brian Burke, talking about his new position as Leaf's General Manager.... (by the way, Burke vs. the Toronto media is just about the most entertaining prospect a hockey fan could imagine; I literally have chills just thinking about the possibilities)
Anyways he was talking about Mats Sundin, whether or not he would pursue him, and Burke said "No, I talked to Mat and he wants to go somewhere he can win. He has lots of money in the bank, he doesn't care about that, he wants to come into a scenario where he can win right away, and I don't think we fit that profile yet" You know who does fit that profile? Particularly if they added Mats Sundin to what has already proven to be a fairly potent offensive mix? THE VANFUCKINGCOUVER CANUCKS THAT'S WHO Come on Mats, check out that record. Louie is week to week, don't worry about that.. you need to saddle up! |

They should have played him on thursday, the team right now wants to fight for sanford, thats what you need. If he had played on thursday and lost then they could have come back to try and win as a team tonight with Sanford (the guy they want to play for right now), unless they know luo is back quicker then we think it doesnt make a lot of sense. The other way around would have been best for sanford's confidence and mental game.
Excited see him play though, should be a great game tonight. Last edited by brit; Nov 29, 08 at 05:37 PM. |
