We got the sweep and some good confidence back. even though it was Ottawa it's very tough to beat any team 3 games str8. Demko bailed them in 1st period of game 2, it was great to see Holtby also have a good game in the last 1, things definitely look better than they did pre Ottawa, lol.
I'll be happy if we can come home with a 500 record (or 6 pts) from this 6 game road trip, anything better would be awesome (pipe dream I know, lol).
It looks like Hawryluk is almost ready to play, he comes off IR on feb 6, If he is going to play they need to make a roster move, the article I read had the author thinking that this could be the end of Eriksson, I'm not so sure as they just don't get much cap space back from this move for the versatility and ins. he brings to the team and they'd still have to pay his salary (I believe the cap space gained would be just over 1m., could be wrong) . I'm thinking if Virtanin remain s a scratch for a few more games that maybe they just give up on him and put him on waivers, he would be claimed for sure (probably Calgary, hahaha) . I was all for giving him the shot this year but now I'm finally convinced that he just doesn't give a **** and is not going to give it his all. Hoglander continues to be more and more impressive, and this kid is playing against the other teams top line most of the time, I love this kid.
last but not least. I loved the way they set up Tkachuk at the end of the game (game 3), big Zack is standing right by Tkachuk after the play stops, Gaudette skates by him from behind and gives him a wack, of course Brady goes nuts and Zack is right there waiting for him, now that was a beautiful thing if you ask me. I almost spit my scotch at the end and also the end of the calgary montreal game when both Tkachuk boys left the ice punching boards and glass etc having major melt downs, reminded me of slapshot, lol. Keith must be proud of his sons as being great players but I'm bet he just cringes and wants to smack the buggers when they get into their cheap shot **** ( esp. Matthew) . I remember Keith as a very good and tough player but a very honest player, too bad you can't say that about his sons.
go Canucks, looking forward to tonights game.
