Strombone1 Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Even though the Minnesota Wild hand Chicago Blackhawks their first loss of the season, Blackhawks have almost been unstoppable.Will the Canucks seek retribution from Duncan Keith after knocking Daniel Sedin out with a blatant elbow to the head?In a surprise move coach Alain Vigneault named Roberto Luongo as the starter against the Avalanche coming from another start against the Kings.They stay disciplined and out of the box. There will be a desire for the Canucks to assert themselves physically early against a hated rival but they can't let that translate into senseless penalties unless they want to take their chances against one of the league's most potent power plays.They make use of their power plays. Chicago's PK has given up just one goal on 27 times shorthanded this season but Vancouver has a recent history of power play success against them. Last season, five of their 11 total goals in the season series came with the man-advantage. All five power play goals came from different scorers as well.Luongo stays hot. The Canucks' netminder will be under a big spotlight tonight as he picks up his third consecutive start against a team he has traditionally struggled against, at least in the playoffs. In his three starts this season, he's stopped 80 of 84 shots for a save percentage of .952. http://youtu.be/XG6SgT58AW4 The power play wakes upThe twins bump the slumpThey win the third Henrik Sedin: 6 PointsDaniel Sedin: 5 AssistsJannik Hansen: 3 GoalsAlex Burrows: 22 PIMsRoberto Luongo: 1.96 GAA, .948 SV%Cory Schneider: 3.40 GAA, .894 SV% 3-2-2, 8 ptsDaniel Sedin: 6 PointsZack Kassian: 5 GoalsDaniel Sedin: 4 Assists 6-0-1, 13 ptsPatrick Kane: 10 PointsMarian Hossa: 5 GoalsPatrick Kane: 8 Assists Daniel Sedin – Henrik Sedin – Zack Kassian Chris Higgins – Alexandre Burrows – Jannik Hansen Mason Raymond – Jordan Schroeder – Dale Weise Manny Malhotra – Maxim Lapierre – Aaron Volpatti Dan Hamhuis – Alexander Edler Jason Garrison – Kevin Bieksa Keith Ballard – Christopher Tanev Roberto Luongo Cory Schneider Injured: Ryan Kesler, David Booth Scratched: Andrew Ebbett, Andrew Alberts, Cam Barker Brandon Saad - Jonathan Toews - Marian Hossa Patrick Sharp - Dave Bolland - Patrick Kane Bryan Bickell - Andrew Shaw - Viktor Stalberg Jamal Mayers - Marcus Kruger - Michael Frolik Duncan Keith - Brent Seabrook Niklas Hjalmarsson - Johnny Oduya Sheldon Brookbank - Nick Leddy Corey Crawford Ray Emery Injured: Michal Rozsival, Daniel Carcillo, Steve Montador Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiun Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Pretty excited for this game, always a big brutal fight between us and the Blackhawks. Hopefully we show up better than against the Sharks. All signs are pointing that we will though, not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogolol Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 Luongo will get the start, only because of the shutout I think though. I think had Luongo let in a goal or two Schneider would have got the start but if a goalie gets a shutout you have to ride the hot hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
