Tortorella said both Weise and Booth left the game because of "lower body injuries" in his post game presser.

Canucks played the most games in the NHL, if it is not the officating it is the scheduler.

Blues played only 7 games and have not played for almost a week.

Refs will have to owe one game to the Nucks and at least make it even in PP but I don't expect that.

Sedin's wow - bloody amazing on them.

I hate 4:00 PM start times.

After not seeing the team play for a couple weeks...

Stanton has gained quite a bit if confidence in this time. Be it the coach or whatever, this guy looks like he belongs.

Sedins look like the all stars they were a couple years ago. Now I'm pissed I didn't take them in the pool

Kesler looks energized and effective on Hanks wing. Who'd of thought :wow:

Hamhius looks like somethings wrong.

Bieksa, Garrison, Edler all played well

Luo looks like he does every October...

Richardson and Santorelli were excellent pick ups.

Booth sucks. I mean really really sucks

Kassian may be the best forward we have at simple, smart chips out of our zone. He looks like he is starting to round into the player we traded for.

We seriously need to add a top 6 forward. I doubt Booth is going to get his game back and that is a pretty glaring hole up front, especially with Kesler up on the 1st line. A better team (like STL for example) will likely expose this lack of depth. I look for a move by xmas to shore this up

Lots of positives here even though it was a sloppily played game... taking 9 of 12 on the road with a game still to play is a hell of an accomplishment regardless of how good or bad the teams we played are...the NHL really has no pushover teams.

Yup. Considering there has been no 4th line (even while AV was here), the 3rd has been decimated by injury, the 2nd line is made up of 3rd liners, some guys are playing way too many minutes... and it's still been competitive most nights. Pretty positive I'd say.

And some here are complaining about not looking as good as other teams? Well, no crap!

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Butt fitness has nothing to do with it.

Butt with Henrik taking all those penalties, the smallish twins PK time has been limited meaning they will be fresh for the playoffs.
