Tough stretch for the Nuckleheads--losers of 5 in a row at home, all of them eminently winnable games. Naturally the yobboes are blaming Vigneault, forgetting that the same system that made this team 3-2-5 since Christmas is what has made them 8-3-2 in November. Clearly it's time to fire the coach!
With any luck at all, Vancouver will go on a little win streak now that Himself is back. Of course, luck has been in short supply these days...
Optimistic prediction: Luongo storms out of the gate, stoning the Dogs in the first, and letting in only 1 goal in each of the second and third periods. Daniel Sedin and Kevin Bieksa reply for the Canucks, setting up a shootout in which Sundin scores the winner. Nucks win 3-2 in the shootout.
Pessimistic prediction: Luongo storms out of the gate, stoning the Dogs in the first, and letting in only 1 goal in each of the second and third periods. Daniel Sedin and Kevin Bieksa reply for the Canucks, setting up a shootout in which the Canucks can't get a single shot past Bryzgalov (thanks in large part to the benching of a certain Wellwood, K.). In the fifth round of the shootout, Jovo pots one off the post and in behind Roberto. Nucks lose 3-2 in the shootout.
Very pessimistic prediction: I'll just say one word: groin.
As of 6:26 pm, I am feeling pessimistic (but not very pessimistic). Let's put my perfect record to the test: tonight, the Canucks dog it. Goin' down, boys. Sigh.
