Colorado Still Hates Bertuzzi

So miracle of miracles, the Canucks battle with Colorado into a shootout, and manage to come out victorious 4-3 halting the 3-game slide. Of course now that Alex Auld is making 40 saves in a night, playing what some called the best period of hockey in his career, and all that, we can now concentrate on wondering which is the real number one line on this team right?

In other game news, the Ave's fans really went out of their way to roll out the red carpet for their favorite nemesis, Todd Bertuzzi. Starting with a slash on Bertuzzi late in the 2nd period the Canucks Blog reports, "The fans in Colorado are cheering…" And then midway in the 3rd from Vancouver Canucks Oped: "More awesome stuff from Denver. A couple of idiot Avs fans throw an item over the glass at Bertuzzi mid-way through the 3rd period. After much debate, arena officials decline to eject the fans, and then the rest of the building starts booing Bertuzzi again. (Because, you know, it’s really his fault that they’re acting like such total freaking morons.)"

It was apparently giveaway night - Rob Blake nesting dolls in fact. Is that not the worst giveaway in the world, or is it just me? PS, Colorado hockey games sound like a Jerry Springer show taping: "I saw a guy with a Nuks Suck shirt. Oh and some girl in a section near me came to the game way drunk and threw up all over the place in the 1st...... it was just an eventful night in the stands I guess... lol. Fight, flipping off/throwing stuff at bertuzzi, and puking all over the place." You stay classy.
