Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Game Review: Slapping the Sharks, Coaches Back Next Year A hot power play and solid goaltending from Jacob Markstrom earned the Vancouver Canucks a 4-2 win over the San Jose Sharks on Saturday night, and the organization has announced that the team's entire coaching staff will return next season.

Great article Carol!

Loved that new powerplay, except for Daniel trying that terrible entry on the left side that every team seems to have scouted. I hope this encourages them to shut Hank down for the season, Daniel was just as solid without him (I think he played with McCann and Etem 5on 5?).

It will take some luck in the lottery to get us in the top 5 in the draft. This team obviously wants to be competitive till the end of the year, for the sake of the young guys development. Got to hand it to benning, for good or bad, it really is a "rebuild on the fly" they seem to want to come out next year with the same goal, which I love, we will still get a good player in the top 10 in this draft, worth moving down to see the strides the young guys are taken (and getting the mistakes/growing pains out of the way).

Hamuis has moved onto screwing over the Canucks on the scoresheet lately

Sounds like a lot of damage control to me.

Daniel shuffled around a bit but looking at the play by play detail, it looks like he mostly played with Vey and Etem at 5-on-5.

McCann only played 5:57 at even strength all night, mostly with Dorsett and Burrows.

Soooo....

You're giving props to Burrows for an empty-netter?

If you think essentially that a one goal game was a slapping, you're desperate for good news this year.

Don't give props to the team, give it to the refs for the soft penalties & pulling SJ's #1 defenseman off the ice for 10 mins.

LOL. Great "journalism."

yep.

Actually made it into the top five for a few hours last night...

Moving Burrows out this summer and letting Humhuis walk i'd be fine with. They simply can't give out these NTC's anymore, limited at best.

Another great blog, thank you.

I enjoyed the win, was cheering for the win, and will do so again on Monday.

you guys lost to a bottom 5 team without their number 1 center. have fun with your quick playoff exit

No Edler, Sutter and H-Sedin and yet y'all lost to a bunch of rookies.
The PP's helped no doubt, but a win is a win, if we could give it back I'm sure the vast majority of Canuck fans would lol.

One goal, pretty sure it ended 4-2.

The refs finally called the cheap stuff SJ is known for.

Soooo....

props to burrows for killing half of SJs penalties. There should have been more calls the canucks way.

We are a crappy team that got lucky. The Sharks are an average team that will be lucky to advance to the second round. Book it.

especially if they have to play LA/Ana, which is looking likely

A pissed off fan has made a 13min documentary called "Making a Manager". It's a cross between "Making a Murderer" and Jim Benning's Tenure. Pretty funny, Nucker would love it.

4-2 after the empty netter...

What cheap stuff? This coming from a team skating Alex Burrows?

Come on...

The intro with the music and imaginary is absolutely hilarious.

history is a good indication, but apparently polak/reimer make this team a contender these days :p I would put money on SJ fans going back into the wood work when "jumbo joe" doesnt win you a cup again.

Don't troll the blog writer, that's a great way to get banned.

No worries just a supposed competitor getting butt hurt because of his team's poor showings against a bottom 5 team.... #firstroundexit to cali team
