What's immediately impressed me, as it did with Hansen who should also be
here, is his patience with the puck and always making the right play at the
right time. No panic to their game. That can't be taught and few players have
it.

I'm afraid V's turning him into a goon though. Bieksa, no hits. Miller, no
hits. Kracker, no hits. Weaver, no hits. Mitchell, no hits. Raymond the goon,
1 hit. :-)

If V wants to get this team on track, quit messin' around up front and
start paying attention to the above. The Canuck's D had a total of 2
hits [ Ohlund ]. In contrast, LA, 8, and they ain't supposed to be worthy
of being on the same ice.

The D is throwin' Luongo to the wolves.

It's unbelievable! Last night, I wondered if the troops are on strike,
wanting a real coach. The kids are skating while the bigshot defense
are daydreaming. Now Luongo knows what Cloutier and Auld lived with.

I thought Raymond looked as good as or better than Kopitar.

Luongo was slightly pissed after that feeble attempt by "the shutdown"
pair on 1 of the goals.I noticed bieksa got hurt near the end of the
game and also weaver was playing with willie.(sudb)

I think a road trip is what the doctor ordered.

(hansen is still not playing)
