Canucks 4 Wild 2
Pinky and the two brains did their thing; the Booger Man didn't. Pinky had a hat trick; the Booger Man had three... minutes of ice-time. It's hard to do your thing when you don't get on the ice. And in a game where NHL officials made their presence felt (Vancouver Sun), you don't get on the ice after you've threatened the other team's players.
Save for a Mike Brown-Aaron Voros scrap, the game, not surprisingly I suppose, didn't have the expected fireworks. With first place in the Northwest on the line, both teams behaved themselves and played a good-paced and relatively-clean game.
I commended the offense in yesterday's post, and lo and behold, Markus Naslund took his offensive game up another notch with his 10th career hat trick - tying him for most hat tricks in Canucks history. My favorite part? Well, a couple actually. First, Markus shot is obviously back and he scored all three of his goals within ten feet of the crease. Second, he scored two of his goals in the third period when his team may have been feeling the effects of playing in Edmonton the night before and the long flight to Minnesota afterwards. For the first time in a long time, the Canucks captain carried the team on his shoulders and earned them two crucial points.
I'm quite enjoying looking at the standings this morning. A quarter of the way into the season, the Canucks are tied for first place in the Northwest Division and a single point behind the San Jose Sharks for second place in the Western Conference. Is it too early to look at the standings? Perhaps, but after a horrid October, it's been fun to watch this nice little run the Canucks are on.
About the game around the blogosphere:
Friday night against the St. Louis Blues

Pinky didn't score a hat trick! Nazzy did! LOL and it's Nazzy's 11th career hat trick, but 10th as a Canuck.
Hope he break's Tanti's record. >D
The Sedins are the two brains?!?!
And Naslund's had three straight multi-point games, and scored in each of the last 4... not a bad sign for les 'Nucks. I certainly had fun raving about it on my blog! :)
Yeah, somehow I had it in my head that Nazzy was Pinky and the Sedins were the two brains.
I knew I should've had my coffee before I wrote this. haha!
