Game Thread: Capitals visit the Canucks

[mattola]

Alex Burrows will make his return to Vancouver's lineup Monday night.
Advice: He has missed the past 12 games with a broken foot, which sustained a shot block in the team's season opener. During Monday's practice, he skated with Mike Santorelli and Chris Higgins.

This game could go either way - Canucks first game home, might need a bit of time to re-adjust, but the Caps have been so inconsistent you don't know what game you're getting from them on a nightly basis

Easy win for Vancouver.

I expect a much better Caps team tonight than the one that was on display Saturday night at the Saddledome. The Flames played well, but I was expecting more resistance from Washington.

Neuvirth in net for caps tonight

Caps have only beaten the Canucks like once in the past decade, and that was in DC.

Like MNF. I expect this to be a Blowout

4-1 Nucks

Roberto Luongo is 13-1-0 with a 2.23 goals-against average and two shutouts in his last 14 starts against the Capitals.

Penalty shot for OV?

sigh

80 seconds in, we have a penalty shot and a powerplay for the caps.
time for the Nucks to move their feet a little bit.

Penalty shot for OV?

Luongo has a crazy good record on penalty shots
(yet is shockingly mediocre in shootouts)

 

[puckhead]

w00t!! Kassassinated!

dear Chimnera - the dude just scored, now is not the most opportune time to chirp
wait 'till he does something dumb. you probably won't have to wait long.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Canucks and Caps trade goals - 1-1

 

[dash]

Can we still call Chimera "Stonehands" if he has goals in consecutive games?

 

[mattola]
