Canucks Fizzle In Edmonton

You could blame it on the 7 game road trip. You could blame it on the back-to-back games in Alberta, no less, to end said roadtrip. Then again maybe the fact that tired or not, they have to show up and being outshot 40-17, losing 72% of the faceoffs, and having to spend most of the game in your own you kind of deserve to lose dontcha. But the reality is, that Edmonton simply earned their 3-1 victory last night over the Canucks. They wanted it, we didn't.

The Province's Jason Botchford sums up the game nicely. "Somehow the Canucks managed to follow up an impressively diligent and industrious win against the Flames Friday by going AWOL."

The biggest news in the game seems to be that Alex Auld was the only thing that kept this game from being 6-1 or 7-1. Cloutier who? That and the continuing play of Vancouver's Number One Line - Anson Carter, Daniel Sedin, and Henrick Sedin - who had the lion's share of Vancouver's offensive chances and the lone goal. Bertuzzi huh? Nasland wha? Oh sweet fickle Vancouver. If there ever is a bandwagon to jump onto we do it with a certain carefree gusto.
