It seems to be coming together

Except for about a three minute period where the Canucks decided to be silly, they worked very hard and deserved a little better than a SO win. However, since the Caps aren't going to be an issue fighting for a playoff spot it these are the ones to give a single point to.

It seems that they are finally starting to get it together. The defense looks solid. Luongo must be getting bored with less than 45 shots per game. The forwards are starting to also look good together. The line of Bulis, Naslund and Morrison looked dangerous and would have been even more dangerous had Naslund not been having an off night. Sedin/Sedin and Pyatt also looked quite good, but the twins would look good in a phone booth. Anson who? Right. The guy who only has one point so far. Glad he mentored the twins. *koff*

Everyone has been raving about Ollie the Goalie but the goals he did let in didn't look that great and a lot of the 40+ shots were relatively easy ones for an experienced goaltender. Kolzig only had about half a dozen to ten really difficult saves but he did look good when he needed to. Unfortunately for the Caps and nice for the Canucks was the Morrison shootout goal which ended up being the winner. Save the really hard ones and let stinkers like that in.

It's nice when puck luck works in the Canuck's favor. Bout time.

Nice hardworking game. What a difference a summer and a coach makes.

I like this new coach and how he employs the concept of a shortened bench. Welcome to Vancouver, Mr. Vigneault. Please stay for awhile.

NEXT GAME: October 31, 2006 versus Nashville at the Garage.
