Rob McVicker gets a chance in goal / Quizzes
The Canucks scored just 18 seconds into the eventual 5-3 game against Edmonton tonight (Josh Green's second in two games), but it was practically all Edmonton after that. Daniel Sedin scored for us and Ohlund had three assists... Jarret Stoll scored twice for them, and almost had a hat trick but for his stick breaking! There were no penalties in the first period, which doesn't happen too often. The Oiler dressing room attendant got hit by Cory Cross' flying puck, but he's okay: heck, Joey got his wisdom teeth pulled today too! (talk about playing hurt)
Alex Auld allowed 5 goals on 28 shots, so he got pulled in favor of Rob McVicker from Manitoba with 5:12 remaining. Carter scored after that, but it was a bit too late. Then McVicker went to the bench in favor of an extra attacker with 2:15 remaining in the game, so he had a brief NHL debut in relief for Vancouver. Speaking of goalies, Cloutier could be ready when the team makes their trip east. The team played with urgency in the last minute... why they can't do that on a consistent basis, I don't know. The three stars were Jarret Stoll, Raffi Torres, and Jussi Markkanen (their goalie).
Now they're 5-7-2 in Northwest Division games, and 5-8-2 on the road. We still lead our division, but only by one point. Shots on goal: 28-26 in favor of Edmonton. There goes our perfect record when scoring the first goal of a game... now we head east for a change of scenery and the teams we can only see via satellite now. In the first 27 games of the season, we've only faced 12 opponents... ten of those games we've played against Minnesota and Colorado. But we play the Oilers three times this month, and Rob McVicker has a perfect 0.00 GPA for us. (ha, silver linings!)
Yeah, the game was kinda like last night's game against the Avalanche in reverse... o_O
