Great game! Lots of stuff to cheer about, Schneider was solid, Schroeder getting the monkey off his back. Schroeder has been playing really well and I was afraid he would be the odd man out when Kesler returns and at least when Booth comes back. But even if it was just one game, I think I won't have to worry about that anymore!

Have to say that even if Kassian hasn't been scoring since the tryout with the twins, his all around game has still looked good and he's making good plays and playing very well defensively too.

As a bit of a negative note; how many missed chances can Hansen get in a game? He's been the one to get the lucky bounces, making the right plays and been the energy guy. Tonite the probably would have been scoreless even with an empty net. With that being said, I think he will be back in form against Minnesota again.

I know Tanev made the one mistake but watching him move the puck out of our zone and his exit passes is a beautiful thing. I think he moves teh puck up ice as good or better than any of our D men.

I like how Hansen is flying out there as well and creating lots of offensive pressure.

The kids look impressive and I hope Schroeder sticks. His hockey smarts, resopnsible defence, speed and offensive gifts are what has been too often lacking with teh Nucks. He really does have a nose for the net and MAN is he fast. I watched him start a rush by making a clearing pass from the goal line to the blue line and he was the first player to reach Calgary's blue line. Sure hope he sticks, 'cause there's nothing he can learn playing in the AHL now.

The Canucks looked a bit sleepy to start this one, but the twins were already looking good, and they busted out big time in the 2nd. Great save by Schneider early to keep the score close, which helped set the stage for the comeback. After that 2-goal outburst early in the 2nd, the Canucks never looked back and the Flames fizzled. Congratulations to Jordan Shroeder for his first NHL goal!

Edit:

Great game by Calgary goalie Leland Irving too; the score didn't reflect how well he played. The score could've gotten really ugly without his stellar play.
