Action Movers

Yesterday’s game was a welcome change from the Canucks previous three nail-biters where the game was decided by a single goal in either overtime or the shootout. With the Canucks moving around and especially seeing as they were down a goal very early in the game, they showed great poise by staying with their game plan and not becoming unraveled as they battled back to win the game against a divisional rival with goals to spare. Hopefully this is the corner the Canucks needed to turn in order to get their game back on track for the stretch run to the playoffs. After giving up an early goal to the Minnesota Wild, the Vancouver Canucks buckled down, regrouped and played a very solid, well disciplined game to extend their winning streak to three games, and a 3-4 record on this road trip. Vancouver Canucks were consistant in the ‘move the puck’ around scenerio. The game started out with a shock as Dany Heatley surprised Cory Schneider by beating him 13 seconds after the opening puck drop. Final score 5-2 Canucks!
