We win.  We win.  The Canucks won a game – and how!!!!  Very exciting game.  My son, who cheers for the Avs, and I were on the edge of our seats all game long.  Congrats to the Canucks!  A road trip was a much needed balm to soothe the team’s hurting egos.

The Good:

- the Sedin brothers with 6 points between them
- Roberto Luongo standing on his head
- Edler, with all the minutes he was given, performed extremely well
- Kesler, again, was a standout
- Morrison, IMO, played his best game of the season thus far
- the Canucks won more face-offs in this game than I have seen them win all year
- even Bourdon held is own in his first NHL game this year

The Bad:
- our power play needs some work; where does the blame lie?
- too many short handed goals against this year for my liking

The Ugly:
- in a game that was played so well by both teams it is hard to find an ugly but I did; his name is Isbister; ‘nuff said
