Morning Skate: Canucks Win Bloody Battle, Avery and Clutterbuck Dance
The Canucks dumped the Dallas Stars 5-2 in a bloody affair. I’m serious, Daniel Sedin took an errand stick to the chompers, lost a couple of fangs and bled all over his red beard. He didn’t miss a shift and scored the eventual game-winner on a power-play, how’s that for Swedish toughness? Ryan Kesler had his pumpkin split open with a skate and lost some blood himself. Vancouver is now 17-4-1 over its past 22 games.
The Minnesota Wild lost the game, but Marian Gaborik scored his first goal since December 4th. The Rangers took the game 2-1, Sean Avery made a sweet pass to Scott Gomez for the winner early in the second period. Avery engaged in his first fight since his return to the NHL, and it was a “staged fight”!
Avery Chucks Knucks With Cal Clutterbuck… Woo Haw!
I’m going to save myself the pain of rehashing the Oilers’ tough loss to Detroit last night, Mother Pucker summed it up perfectly: Hemsky’s D Sucks.
