Claiming one goalie is more crap than the other shouldn't make anyone feel any better.

Time to call up Jakub

Lack has been poor, but he's also faced about 50 shots tonight. That's Edmonton defense territory.

Bieksa -2
Sbisa -4
Matthias -3

I think Matthias is done, Horvat will be getting his shot now.

They seem pretty 'self contained' thus far. Easy two points, says I.
Also, Thank you, Jesus, that we didn't land Iginla. I know many, many of you were pulling for that- I was not. Not even a little. Been singing Vrbata's praises before and since. Not only his playing style...... but you gotta admit, his face does have 'alien-like' qualities to it. He belongs with the twins, on many levels.

Good call on iggy ...he is terrible and could never pot the tap ins that Vrbata does

Its time they get Coarrado on the ice. He should not be sitting all this time and he cant be anymore counterproductive out there that what we are seeing.

He's been a canuck killer his whole career and tonight was no different, I for one was hoping he'd sign with us in the off season

It doesn't make me feel better, I'd just rather play the proven goalie. Maybe we should just run more goalies out of town and throw Cloutier in net ?

Well that makes his .860 sv % and 5.00 GAA excusable then.

This.

So far, this has been hard to watch. 10 minutes into the third and they finally had their first shift in the Colorado end.

Probably as excusable as you burying him based on 2 games this season. Maybe if he played EDM (twice) and CGY his numbers would be more elite, like Miller's .906%.

I'm sure those 3 games would give him 4 wins as well. Also, I'm not trying to knock off a proven starting goalie. I'm saying enough with the throwing Miller under the bus when the backup is clearly showing he's exactly that.

Fair enough. I just have beef with Miller getting paid elite $ when he's clearly no longer elite. If he were paid Lack money I'm sure the gripes would be more muted.

Above all it seems like we've been progressively downgrading our quality between the pipes for no apparent gain on the ice that I can understand.

Whats the story with Virtanen? Anybody watch the game?

Checked CHL website and boxscore summary link was broken


However Cole Cassels continues to dominate the OHL.

Brutal. We can't handle quick teams. We made Colorado look good tonight.

I just read the comment earlier and was laughing ...

Come on------------- bottom line........... 2nd road game in two nights and the second city is a mile in the sky. If I were a betting man I would have won this one handily.

- Redmile247

yet, he's going to pot 30 this year, and no one on the canucks will.

virts going to be the best canuck on the ice in 3 years. I like that kid, fun to watch.

Actually, Iginla and Tanguay have played pretty well (at least until now)

and the fact they didn't play together until the 2000s. way to be on it scoobs

My comment stands ...any Canucks fan who thinks Vrbata is a God for his tap ins is understandable ...but to say Iggy could not tap in each amazing goal Vrbata scored...please start watching hockey for a living ...I give the Sedins all the credit for the goals ...Iggy proved tonight he made the right choice ...and am happy he chose Colorado over van...playoffs are important to him
