Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Game Review: First Home-Ice Win vs. NHL's Hottest Team The Vancouver Canucks earned their first home-ice win of the year when they beat the Montreal Canadiens 5-1 at Rogers Arena on Tuesday night.

Great Blog Carol.

McCann looked great last night. I can't see them sending him down.

Canucks road play has been impressive n hope it continues.
WD n the team play sound n show the road is a comfort zone.

In response to Vantel from last thread:
I dont think either will go back, nor do I think both will play in the WJC. I think of the two, JV might be the one they watch more closely for the 39 game number. As a member of the 4th line, I can see them having him in and out of the lineup for most of the season while the team direction becomes clearer

Here is why I think Higgins will be delayed. Canucks are playing good hockey. The games we lose fans are still excited and understanding seeing we have a young group out ther.

Take them out and replace with Burrows Higgins Hamhuis , the fans will grow impatient and ticket sales will suffer

Funny how adding a veteran like Hansen to the Kid line and spreading the minutes out accordingly and giving players a chance to play leads to a win over the best goalie/team in the league.

Nice to hear Benning stepped in to get Willie to play the kids more...at least it sounds that way

Let's not read too much into it, the Canadiens were due for a bad game and a loss, and were on a long western road swing and we were due for a regulation win. The real test will be on this road trip as it'll determine whether or not JV and JM stay for the season or not.

I gotta fever.

Fever for all that cow belling

Defenceman Dan Hamhuis is not be making the road trip to Dallas & Arizona.

if you are looking for Canucks games outside of B.C., the easiest way is to

1. stream via the internet using links from a number of different sites.

2. Another option is to pay 99$US by logging in via server located outside N.America (using a VPN - i've used an Asia based server before) and signing up for gamecenter on NHL.com and then stream in HD those to your computer/ phone/ t.v. (if you have a playstation you can sign in on that as well).

3. you could also use an Android box and using different XBMC add-on apps find the game and stream it live to your t.v. in HD.

Carol, I believe the Canucks started 3-0-0, but were 0-2-3 in their last five...

The Canucks had been unfortunate to open their season with an 0-2-3 record

3-0-0 is the Canucks road record and 0-2-3 was their home record before last night. They were 2-0-1 in their first 3 games not 3-0-0.

Also funny how we beat the current best team in the league handily without Hamhuis in the lineup...
