On the other side of the ice, the Canucks look to win back-to-back games for the first time this month. They are back to playing hockey that somewhat resembles what Canuck's fans have come to expect from their team, but still need to find a way to truly break through offensively. Going back 15 games, the Canucks have been held to 3 or less goals by their opponent's in all but 3 games. They are 6-6-3 in that stetch, and of the games where they have held at 3 goals or below, they have won only 3 of them, and those by relyling on show stopping performances by one of their goaltenders. They are making fewer mistakes defensively, but still need to start burying the chances they are generating.
Many fans have found this as a cause for concern, I for one would rather that they don't tempt fate now and end up in the hockey god's good graces 8 games from now.
On the ice tonight the lineups are much the same as last game, though Booth has moved over to the LW and Burrows is on Kesler's RW. Salo and Rome are both sitting this one out, and Luongo will also get this start instead of Schneider who was brilliant in the win over Dallas on Thursday.
To be honest I don't care what the final outcome is tonight, so long as it ends in OT.....let's give Bountiful something to get their panties in knots over, eh wot.....
