Carcs!

OJ's pivoting is really poor for a prospect of his stature. Hopefully gets that sorted out because right now it's too easy to get by him when he's skating backwards.


Once he gets that cleaned up, I suspect that people will like his game a lot better.

GOAL!

Canucks go up 1-0 with 8:25 gone in the first period.

Brett McKenzie takes the initial chance, Jonah Gadjovich gets the second chance, then Michael Carcone shovels it home.

Good pressure by all three forwards.

can you do this all season for the big club?!
no pressure.

nice goal

Nice chance in the slot for Brisebois, with followup from Carcone.

All the play is at the other end of the ice. Shots are now 11-3 Vancouver with eight minutes left in the first.

nice start.
different team than yesterday. literally.

During the season, I'm busy doing Stats. That's why I don't even tweet during games!

This is similar to the liveblogging I do for Bleacher Report for the playoffs and the All-Star Game, and for other events like golf, tennis and college basketball.

this is like the Vancouver vs Oilers of yesteryear.

Can we fire Cheech and you can do the color with Shorty?

A little Cory Schneider-like adventuresome stickhandling from Demko, who has had a very relaxed first period.

Canucks still skate the puck out of the zone without allowing a shot.

14-3 Canucks with 3:45 to go in the first.

And...Thatcher takes one off the mask.

He's fine, but is switching masks.

Damn that was nice!

GOAL!

Carcone gets his second of the game with 2:16 to play in the first.

Shows great patience before going high glove on Shane Starrett.

Vancouver 2 - Edmonton 0

Calzone is impressing

Canucks finish the first on the PP as Dman Dmitri Schioler sits for two for hitting from behind.

I'm not sure if I remember, but I do believe he stood out last year too. Didn't stand out much in the AHL apparently, but maybe he does this year.

Pretty disorganized looking power play but that's about my only complaint from this first period.

A refreshing change of pace from yesterday's game!
