So with this new philosophy that everyone should be blocking shots, do you think everyone is now wearing thicker shin pads, and extra protection around the ankles and the plastic covers that go over the laces of the skates?

Schroeder down. Gaunce, yer up...

This shot blocking seems to be going well.

We need to see Kesler & Booth really committing to it.

I suspect abominable snowmen wear panties.

He's a left shot but turned his stick around in the right face off circle and took the draw right handed. Never seen that before.

good call, couldn't remember his name but didn't want to say that guy from Dallas that used to play for Montreal... Wonder if shin pads can be as wide as the new goalie pads?

Upper body strength.

Edit: I've also noticed how low he gets on the draw for a big man.

Can't wait to see how slow the twins look in full body armour.

Wow is Gaunce slow!

I like Lain

Who banned you?

I don't think Schroeder took any kind of additional risk there... just skated into the lane to block. Id really worry if they were all throwing themselves down on the ice or making saves with their faces like in The Goon.

The innovations with Kevlar are quite remarkable these days.

Lack carries on a Canuck tradition of strong puck play by the goaltender.

These young big Canucks are like St. Louis light

I like what I'm seeing tonight, with these line-ups we should be getting blown out, great hard work and skating.

Could anybody be worse then Schneider was. I though Lu was bad. But Schneider was as good with the puck as Phanuef

He needs to pick and choose his spots. Right now he's not doing a very good job of that.
