Win One, Lose One
After a horrible, horrible 6-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche last night, the Canucks bounced back with a solid, spirited effort. The two points was nice and it brought them to an eighth place tie with the Nashville Predators in the Western Conferenceit allowed them to stay a point back of the Nashville Predators for the eighth playoff spot, but personally, I was most happy to see them not hang their heads and dwell on the night before.
Because of the obvious lack of offensive flair in their lineup, the Canucks don't score a lot of pretty goals in the shootout. However, Ryan Shannon's goal last night was. My favorite part? It wasn't the creativity or the fact that it was the game-winner. It was that, after Shannon scored, Khabibulin punched him in the back of the head and Shannon simply turned around and celebrated in the Bulin Wall's face.

Canucks are 1 point behind Nashville, not tied.
*sigh* You're right. Wishful thinking.
