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.
