Trades

The Devils are staying pretty quite, but the days not over but i haven't heard of any big trade news from them...lucky.

The Canucks on the other hand have made a few additions with out breaking up the core of the team. Nonis getting Sopel back after losing him during the lock out. Sopel played his last 44 games with the Kings. Also Vancouver aquiring center Bryan Smolinski, yay, from Chicago. Smolinski had 37points with the Hawks, 4 PP goals, 3 Short handed and is a +10 this season.

In other new Bertuzzi is now A red wing which is a good thing, in my opinon.

Canucks big win!

Last night the Canucks beat LA 3-2 in regulation put them to 76 points. This is a VERY good time. Thanks to the win the Wild need 3 points to match Vancouvers points lead in Northwest Divison. Lucky Calgary is falling behind! The boys are really finding their step latey and getting the puck in the net. Last nights goal scorers were Morrison we a nice one timer kind of rebound, Linden with a beautiful wrist shot and Bieksa with a wrister in front aswell. Bieksa also got and assist and Nazzy got two assists. This puts them 7th in the league which is pretty sweet because they have a much better shot for the playoffs then last year now. They've put themselves in a much better position! Luongo is also a huge part of the Canucks turn around this season. And i love it went he gives his stick away, its cute. and i'm pretty jealous actually. being a goalie myself, I want his stick.lol. Anyways just wanted to get that out

OH and the devils are also doing mighty fine too. They are 4th in the NHL, yay. But i mean when you have Brodeur how could you not do well. Never mind the fact that you also have Gionta,Elias, Gomez, Parise, well i was going to name them all but it's pretty much the whole team!:)

Two Wins

So both the Devils and the Canucks collected two points last night. The Canucks beat the Oilers 5-2 and the Devils took the Rangers in SO 3-2.
In Edmonton, the Canucks took 24 shots getting 4 of them passed Roloson and one into an empty net. This was the Sedins game and they took it in full gear. Daniel collecting a point on every Vancouver goal with his second carreer hat trick and two assists. Henrik recorded four assists on the night, showing off his infamous slap pass that is execued so nicely. Naslund got his 17th of the season, on the powerplay early in the second. Pyatt also socred for his 16th. Luongo stopping 28 out of 30 shots.
New Jersey at home defeated the Rangers in SO, Gionta with the winning goal. Sean Avery with his first game as a ranger got an assist. The Devils getting away only 21 shots but Lundqvist came out the weaker link. New York having 30 shots on Brodeur who only allowed two to get by him. Paul Martin with the first goal for the Devils then Rachunek then scored for NYR. Parise with his 21 on the season put one home for the go ahead goal but Jagr tied it up early in the third. Neither teams able to put it away in the remainder of regualtion or extra time so the game was decieded in a shotout.


Vancouver is now 7th in there conference and 10th in the league with 64 points
NJ is second in ther conference, behind only Buffalo, and 5th in the league with 72 points

Canucks=:(, Devils=:)

The Canucks lost the division lead to the Flames the other night in a 4-3 lost in Calgary. Basically...it sucked. Luongo getting shot as 42 times while the Canucks didn't even put together 30 shots on Kipper. Louie was the 3rd star of the game making 38 stops.
Wow....did my heart fall to the floor with Luongo went down. Seriously it was not cool! Louie laid there motionless for a minute before being helped to his knees by the Canucks trainer. Phaneuf used Roberto's head at target practice for his 100mph slap shot. Luongo took it in the jaw, breaking the strap of his helmet. A trooper though he stayed in the game.
Vancouver started the scoring with two goals in the first by the twins. THEN Calgary got two in the second and two in the third putting the visitors behind by a deuce. Not Cool. Pyatt gave us a glimps of hope for OT when Naslund shot and its deflected of Taylor's stick and in with under 2 minutes to play. We didn't make it though. Fell short and gave the Flames two points. Both the twins and Pyatt left the ice with 2 points each but it wasn't enough.
And just like to mention Henrik Sedin has amazing hand eye coordination, beating Kiprusoff to a in flight puck, for the tip-in out of mid-air. it was cool. I'm pretty sure i remember him doing that before too.
On the brighter side of the NHL The Devils are in 5th place in the league with 70 points courtesy of Marty Brodeur and his 9 beautiful shutouts. New Jersey beat Buffalo 3-2 in regulation. All of the goals coming in the first 5 minutes of the third. Marty only facing 17 shots while the Devils throw 37 at Miller. Parise (1 goal and an assist), Langenbrunner (a goal and an assist), and Madden ( kick starting his team with the first Devils goal) were the third stars of the game.
Up next for the Devils a home games against the Rangers on Tuesday.

Canucks and Devils Updated

hey there. the vancouver canucks have won 6 of there last games but getting points in 3 of there loses. Last night they took Edmonton, 5-3 :), always good to beat divisional teams, expecially edmonton. Scoring for the canucks was Ohlund :) about half way through the first. then came Hank sedin with a nice redirect in the slot from his brother, in the second. Third period saw marc Chouinards 2nd goal of the season but it was pretty. then Naslund with a burst of speed cut infront of the net with a nice back hand, which i think went 5 hole not sure though. then bulis pumped one in with under 2 minutes to go. Reasoner, Petersen and Lupul scoring for the Oilers. Luongo had 32 shots allowing only 3 goals for a very......distracting edmonton offence, doing what ever they could to get in Luongos face.
Now for the Devils, beating Philly in OT, 6-5. couldnt watch this game so do have a lot of detail for you but ill try. The flyers started it off in the first about 2 minutes in with a tip in. The devils struck back with a wrister from the rookie Travis Zajac. Second period Flyers start it off again with a rebound goal from Knuble. Zajac didnt like that very much so decided to do something about that. a pass from Elias to Gomez, he shot and Zajac ow so gracefully tipped it in. devils not done for the second though mid-period Elias backhands one over Nittymaki. Into the Third now, once again the Flyers getting the party going, about 3 minutes in Afanasenkov with the wrister, beats Marty Broduer for his forth goal of the season. Philly fighting back now, gets a power play of David Hale for Interference. Ow and if you didnt know Darian Hatcher is the root of all evil, im suppose to spread the word. Knuble with another tip in for his second of the game. Langenbrunner strikes back quickly though, less then a minute later he slap on pass Nittymaki from the point to make it 4-4. Foppa put Philly ahead but not for long. With Broduer pulled and an extra attacker Parise fires one passed the goalie with about 30 secons left to put the game to OT. where Lukowich Tips one in with time winding down.
