I can't seem to get anyone to go with me - even if I pay
Just as well as I got that bug going around and I shouldn't be spending money and gas if I'm not working.
Unfortunately, that means I have to watch the Sharks feed if I can find it (and I can't for some reason) since the game will be blacked out where I'm at. ESPN should saving it for the next month though so I should be able to avoid the score and watch it first thing in the morning - if for some reason I don't magically go to the game.
What annoys me about it is that hockey fans think there's something magical about a shutout, but not, say, a one-goal game. So the guy who goes 14/14 has to go back in, but a guy who stops 34/35 or even (gasp) only 42 of 44 or something receives no such consideration. I have no idea why this one stat is treated as binary and important.
Canucks getting shut out tonight confirmed
Canucks facing a goalie tonight with that hasn’t played since mid-December and has one NHL win since early November - Paterson

Not getting 2 points tonight would be catastrophic. But just winning isn't good enough. Need to see another strong effort where we really dictate the pace for 60 minutes.
I'd probably give Demko all the starts leading into the break. They're every 2 days, and he isn't going to the Face Off so he's going to get a break.
Lankinen is going, so he'll probably at least get some practice ice. Demko had his best game since he ret, so I'd give him these next 2 games to try and get his game dialed in. Then after the break split the time to keep them both fresh, maybe reconsidering that for the last few games if we are looking to be in the playoffs.
Although I'd also be fine having them split the playoff games as well, assuming both are playing well (and we make it).

This should be a slam dunk.
No Hughes so the players will play better. Fewer shots against and more shots for.
But a one or two goal win won't be significant unless they hold SJ to under 15 shots.
Who is there to interview him? IMac? Murphy? Two Rogers/Canuck employee's? Silly having an interview with just them.
