New Tocchet rule. No sticks above the waist or you get fined. Because if it's above your waist you better believe the other team is snapping their head back.

Deja Vu? Road team scores. Penalty the first time the home team falls over? Game management at its finest.

Dodgers will be capped out for 20+ years

I blame the Yankees and especially the Dodgers. You know you can't beat them in an arms race so why bother? Might as go the economical route and hope for the best.

agree. He's on pace for 30/31 more this year. 71 pts next is not a stretch at all. Crazy, seems like yesterday he was cutting his teeth alongside Luke Schenn.

Hughes passed Lidster in all-time Canuck scoring today. Nearing 3 other Canuck D legends too. Currently 5th in points all-time for a Canuck defenseman, do you think he gets to #1 next year? 11 Alexander Edler D 925 99 310 409 .... 24 Mattias Ohlund D 770 93 232 325 25 Jyrki Lumme D 579 83 238 321 26 Dennis Kearns D 677 31 290 321 27 Quinn Hughes D 340 38 271 309 28 Alexander Mogilny RW 312 139 169 308 29 Doug Lidster D 666 65 242 307

Miller now 19th in all-time Canuck scoring with his 4 point effort this afternoon. 18 Petri Skriko LW 472 171 202 373 19 J.T. Miller LW 340 133 239 372 20 Greg Adams LW 489 179 190 369

The Canucks have been absurdly good at that for the most part this year.

Very rarely do you see a team that is carrying the play significantly have twice the penalties...

ugh, now the Canucks are going to need 28 more shots to keep the PDO sharks happy. Nice going Miller

Still need more shots, PDO unsustainable

Going to be a tough one, 2nd of back to back in the mile high city against a rested Avalanche. Really impressive if they pull it off. Makes todays game much more important.

Is it just me or is Bill Guerin giving off a bit of a Shooter McGavin vibe?

It's been that way for a little while (not very specific, I know ). Just can't have a distinct kicking motion (that whole pendulum leg motion where you propel the puck with your skate).

Lol, what do the Canucks have to do to get credited for a shot on goal?

This team has plenty of heart. The '94 team lost games in the regular season too.

Mikheyev jumps up into 152nd in all-time Canuck scoring with his assist tonight 151 Jeff Brown D 72 10 44 54 152 Ilya Mikheyev RW 98 23 30 53 153 Brent Peterson C 146 15 38 53 154 Kyle Wellwood C 149 32 20 52

Carelessness can and should result in punishment too. But I'd say intent can definitely be a factor that increases punishment severity.

I don't know. I don't see intent either, careless perhaps. Looks like a position battle in front of the net. I guess the DoPS really doesn't like that it was to the back of the head.

Pettersson leapfrogs a couple on his way to 13th in all-time Canuck scoring. 12 Don Lever LW 593 186 221 407 13 Elias Pettersson C 380 164 231 395 14 Ryan Kesler C 655 182 211 393 15 Brendan Morrison C 543 136 257 393

I'm going to call axios stupid, they didn't word that right. It should be 1/3 of people that believe in the T Swift conspiracy are Republican. That's a big difference. Doing the math, 18% x 32% = 6% (rounding up).

NOW give him 6....

Hronek currently has the top single season +/- in Canuck history...if he can maintain it. Quinn Hughes breathing down his neck too. Plus Minus "+/-" Filip Hronek (23-24) 37 Christian Ehrhoff (09-10) 36 Quinn Hughes (23-24) 36 Daniel Sedin (09-10) 36 Pavel Bure (92-93) 35 Marek Malik (03-04) 35 Henrik Sedin (09-10) 35 Alexandre Burrows (09-10) 34 Dana Murzyn (92-93) 34 Dixon Ward (92-93) 34

Garland again is the highest mover up the all-time Canuck scoring list with his pair of goals tonight. 73 Brent Sopel D 322 33 97 130 74 Conor Garland RW 212 47 78 125 75 Petr Nedved C 222 63 61 124 76 Wayne Maki LW 180 50 73 123
