Another good game for SESTITO! 
Happy Kesler broke out with a couple goals, hopefully this turns the tide for December.

The one goal being on a 2-man advantage. Yes, having a two goal game early in the season can drastically change your "on pace for." Kesler's even-strength goal today is his first since October; it's great for him to bump it but it remains a concern.

Hamhuis was gloriously low event and invisible, playing 26 minutes. On for both against, but he was on for half the game.

So the trick is....we gotta dress up as fans of the other team at home so they think its an away game!

You're not going to get any argument from me that they've struggled against good teams (at least in terms of results), but dismissing wins against weaker teams is silly. 11 of LA's 16 wins have been against teams that are outside the playoffs right now (compared to 10 of 14 for Vancouver) but you don't hear people writing off their record.
Really liked Lack's composure after surrendering 2 goals in 10 seconds. Didn't seem to get to him and he shut the door the rest of the way. Just like when he came in relief earlier in the year, surrendered a goal on his first shot then looked excellent. Doesn't appear to get rattled from what we've seen of him.
I think you have to ride Eddie until he loses a game.
Lack- 2.41GAA, .911SV%
Luongo- 2.41GAA, .911SV%
I thought Lack was matching Lou save for save...

I'll never understand this whole,"oh beat another bad team, cool" the hell are they supposed to do, try to lose on purpose? Maybe we should just only try against +500 teams, I mean who cares about the rest right? Give it the end of the year and if we're out of a playoff spot, people,will be complaining about how we couldn't beat weaker teams for extra points. Its ridiculous. Get the points wherever you can against anybody possible. "Good teams" or not.

Loving bieksa and sestito right now. Bringing it every night. Good to send a message to Kassian to wake up hopefully he responds.

Lack needs to play more. He is playing as well as Luongo and making more timely saves and shutting the door. Sure, it's only one game but he needs the chance to keep going. Keep both goalies fresh, ride the hot one and create some internal competition between the two. Luongo generally responds well to that. We can't afford to keep the hotter goalie on the bench just because of contract or seniority.

Sedins were pretty invisible this game. Secondary scoring is the reason we won. Kesler showed up and played very well, hopefully snapping his slump.
By the numbers.
Shots on goal - 31-30 for the Canes. Kesler with 5 shots and Higgins and Daniel had 4 shots each. Bieksa top Dman with 3 shots.
Canucks PK great as Canes were 0/6 after the hiccup against NYR.
Canucks PP - 1/3 - 5 straight games with a pp goal.
22 blocked shots for the Canucks to 10 for the Canes. Hamhuis and Burrows each with 3. The friendly fire to the head on Kesler and Burrows do not count.
Hits 26 to 35 for the Canes. Dale Weise with 5 hits and Booth with 4 hits. Edler led the way on D with 3 hits.
Faceoff wins 34-35 in favour of the Canes.
Hamhuis and Tanev -2. Garrison and Edler +2
Hamhuis with 3 giveaways.
Lack 28 - 30 .933
Ward 27 - 30 .900

Go Hawks!
It's pretty obvious you don't understand....it's not impressive to come away with a win against bottom feeding teams, if you are a good team it should be expected to happen more often than not. I'll be impressed when we start to win against the better teams in the league.
someone already mention that LA wins majority is also against non-playoff team. And I sure every team have the same kind of record

Except LA is 5-3-2 against playoff teams this year, while we are 4-8-4. So that's kind of incorrect.
This was the difference right here. Lack outdueled Ward - something Luongo hasn't been able to do very much this season.
I still can't believe Henrik Sedin is 11th in the NHL in points, considering he's a playmaker on a line with Burrows and his zero goals. Henrik is easily this teams best player IMO. Nobody else even in the running.
So we have played almost twice as many games against good competition as the Kings. That's a promising stat.
According to NHL.com we have a new Dman.
Canucks defenseman Jannik Hansen left the game midway through the first period after tumbling hard into the boards. Hansen left the ice holding his right shoulder, but he returned to the game in the second.

Edler was not a trainwreck on the right-side. That is a near miracle. I really would prefer Hamhuis/Tanev get split up. They have booth been horrible more often when paired together. Suffice it to say the minutes are finally catching up to Tanev. He is not ready to play in the top four, though I hope this is only a slight bump in the road.
As per usual this season, Bieksa is the catalyst for our defense. That will never cease to amaze me.
