I'm just curious what Lu said after stopping Kane on the shootout attempt.

"That might work on Schenider, but not on me!"

Referencing the shootout when they were playing against each other in Europe during the lockout.

Schneider was frozen but then again, I'd bet that 99% of goalies would have been too on that attempt.

So Lu is named NHL's 3rd star of the week. Pretty good for a backup I must say :)

Maybe the whole Gillis master plan is to make Lu the perceived backup so he gets less pressure :fullofwin:

Definitely 3rd star, bro. 3 stars are always better than one!!!!

Therefore, 3rd star is the best star you can get, where as 2nd star is the worst, due to mathematical physics of counting the dynamics.

You guys are making me give out thanks like candy, cause i'm cracking up so bad just reading all this crap.

It's pretty simple, but can be confusing if you're like some ESL student.

FIRST star
SECOND star
THIRD star

First = 1st place, Second = 2nd place, Third = 3rd place.
In this case, the quantity is invalid. Because there is no quantity involved.
It's FIRST, not one. SECOND, not two, and THIRD, not three.

Hotels (for example),
ONE star
TWO star
THREE star
FOUR star
etc

One is less than TWO, which is less than THREE, which is less than FOUR, and so on.
In this case, the more quantity of stars means the better, which is self explanatory.

Can't wait until the game starts so we have something better to talk about.

Canucks to wear the millionares jersey against red wings

http://www.icethetics.info/storage/blog13/0205-van13m.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=136008947197 1
http://www.icethetics.info/storage/blog13/0205-van13m-kesler.png?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=136009124473 3

Believe it or not, the Red Wings as an opponent for this game isn't as random as it seems. This requires a bit of a history lesson to understand why.

In 1912 came the formation of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association (PCHA), of which the Millionaires were a founding member along with the New Westminster Royals and Victoria Senators. In 1913, Senators became the Victoria Aristocrats. (Honestly, after four lockouts in 20 years, can you imagine any NHL team today being named the Millionaires or Aristocrats and still having fans? Yeah, the naming thing gets worse...)

Before the 1916-17 season, the Aristocrats left Victoria for Spokane, Wash. where they were renamed the Canaries. (Told ya.) But no one in eastern Washington cared to attend games and the club folded before the season even ended.

Victoria, B.C. returned to the PCHA scene in 1918 with a brand new team — also called the Aristocrats. (Think Winnipeg Jets, except with fewer relocations.) In 1922, the club was renamed once again to the Victoria Cougars. That might actually be a name you recognize if you're at all familiar with Stanley Cup history. (Also, the Millionaires became the Maroons.)

Two years later in 1924, the Seattle Metropolitans folded, leaving just two teams in the PCHA. The Cougars and Maroons moved to the Western Canada Hockey League where the Cougars promptly won their first and only Stanley Cup championship against the Montreal Canadiens!

The Cougars played one more season in the newly renamed Western Hockey League where this time they lost the Stanley Cup Final. It also spelled the end of the team as the WHL was unable to compete financially with the NHL. The teams were disbanded and players' rights were sold to NHL clubs.

Guess who bought the rights to the Victoria Cougars in 1926. Yep, a group from Detroit, who named their new team the Detroit Cougars. The Cougars became the Falcons in 1930. And ultimately, in 1932, they became the Detroit Red Wings we know today.

So you see, the Canucks are really trying to stir up a century-old rivalry. Can't wait to see it. Now if only someone could convince them to wear their 2009 Winter Classic jerseys — which were in fact Cougars jerseys!

Then we'd have ourselves a hockey game.

Agreed. Same thing for our current 3rd jerseys to become our home jerseys

With Ballard and Tanev emerging as our most consistent D pairing, I wonder what the offensive/defensive zone start stats are. I kind of wonder if Ballard is getting the CoHo treatment to up his trade value and defensively shielded by AV

Found this article from last week, the thought seems to be more about spreading play time around evenly vs. showcasing Ballard. But you never know

Why do Keith Ballard and Chris Tanev look like the Canucks best pairing early on? | CanucksArmy (http://canucksarmy.com/2013/1/29/why-do-keith-ballard-and-chris-tanev-look-like-the-canucks-best-pairing-early-on)

I dunno lol

Guess I was surprised he was on the team and even played that many games. And to be honest I didn't notice him at all that year until I saw him in the celebration.

Anybody else shocked Shea Weber has 0 points so far? All that money they're paying him too. Even Chris Tanev has a goal! He must be missing Suter more than we think.
