Monday Night Hockey Talk

With 4 games in the next 6 games, the Canucks will have a tough week, thats for sure. I know that a few people are complaining about the Sedins, and they haven't been really producing, but give them a break. They are the reason why the Canucks have won most of their games. If the Canucks didn't have the Sedin twins, who would do the scoring? Maybe Burrows? But Burrows doesn't produce as well with other players. But maybe with Kesler? I think the line of Burrows/Kesler/Raymond would be a good line (if the Sedins weren't here). The Burrows/Sedin/Sedin line is probably the best line in hockey right now. I think it is the Sedin line competing against the Thornton line for the best line in the NHL.

With the game tomorrow, the Tampa Bay Lightning are looking for the 4th straight win....for the first time in seasons! The last time the Lightning were on a 4 game streak, was a five game streak in November 2007. Both teams have played 57 games. The Canucks have won 35 games while the Lightning have won 25 games. The Lightning have 11 overtime losses. 9 more than the Canucks who have 2. "We want to make sure that we are better than .500...on this road trip" captain and Canucks all-star goalie, Roberto Luongo explained.

The game between the Washington Capitals and the Pittsburgh Penguins last night was a battle between 2 great superstars. Alex Ovechkin got 3 goals and 4 assists, and superstar, Sidney Crosby got 2 goals, with 7 shots on goal.
