Sanford to play against the Wings tonight / Linden banner sneak peak
Waiting For Stanley —
Beyond all of that great political news today that Canada's Governor General has agreed with Stephen Harper's did to suspend parliament (which I am 100% in favor of-damn the coalition) lies more important news: Curtis Sanford will play against the Wings tonight! ...
Canucks have to take down the Wild tonight
Waiting For Stanley —
...not only because they can retake possession of first spot in the Northwest Division, but also because he longer this losing streak goes the harder it is on player and team chemistry and morale. I'm not feeling overly confident in the Canucks' abilities to play a tight 60 minutes at this point. I'm also not overly confident in the abilities of Sanford or Schneider. Both have played well, there is no doubt, but they need to steal a game at some point. And to continue the broken record.... the players in front of them need to tighten up defensively. 5 goals scored against the Wings is great, but not when you allow 6 against. -The Wild are ...

Canucks vs Wild—5pm PT
I’ll be a member of the Mod Squad tonight (alas, I enjoy saying that far too much for it to be cool) moderating the Canucks.com Liveblog in the Fanzone.
I’ll be in the company of several other fine bloggers, including my old friend Mike the Yankee, (yankeecanuck.com), Humming Giraffe, (humminggiraffe.wordpress.com), and Thomas Lupton, (fans.nhl.com).
Other bloggers, fans and foes (yes, I’m talking to you Wild fans!) are welcome to join in with commentary or just to read along. ...

The weather outside is frightful, as the song goes. Truly, ridiculously, appallingly frightful—by Vancouver Island standards, anyway. Between snow, hail, rain, freeze & thaw, this day is just one giant warning-bell to not leave the house.
But of course, nearly 19,000 hockey fans are leaving the house, preparing to spend 4 hours in GM Place tonight, and countless others are out searching for warm bar stools all around the province, from which to witness Trevor Linden’s jersey retirement and the game that follows it.
For those at home, some other things to see and do: ...

We should be able to beat a slumping Senators team, right?
Waiting For Stanley —
The Senators have lost the first 2 games of their season-high 8-game road trip, a 6-3 loss to Calgary last night and a 6-4 loss to Flyers on the 23rd. Ottawa has not won a game on the road in 11 games now (0-9-2). However the Canucks have lost 3 of their last 4 games and are taking a lot of penalties in the process. -Ottawa is 29th overall in goals per game ...
Canucks - Predators Preview / Live Blog
Waiting For Stanley —
[image] Jason Labarbera will start in goal tonight ...and hopefully finish. Curtis Sanford's groin problem isn't going away anytime soon either as he is listed as week to week. Sounds familiar. I sure hope Labarbera shows us something good. Mike Halford of Orlando Kurtenblog has a great Labarbera profile post up. If the Canucks are going to continue their win-one lose-one trend then tonight they'll beat the Predators. The Canucks have beaten Nashville twice this year: 3-1 and 4-0. Their 3-1 win on December 9th didn't come without controversy. The laid out some huge hits, and Burrows was accused of leaving his feet to hit JP Dumont, ...
Canucks look to avoid getting Thrashed in Atlanta / Live Blog
Waiting For Stanley —
[image] From CDC: A season-high five-game winning streak had Atlanta at 7-7-2 on Nov. 14. Since then, though, rookie coach John Anderson's club has been dreadful. The Thrashers have posted a 5-14-3 record, and have failed to string together back-to-back wins in that span. Ilya Kovalchuk scored on Wednesday but Atlanta (12-21-5) lost its fourth in a row, 3-1 to Carolina. "We lose again, so it really doesn't do anything," said Kovalchuk, who leads the Thrashers with 25 assists and 37 points. Kovalchuk scored his first goal in 12 games (I believe) in Atlanta's last game, a 3-1 loss to the Hurricanes. -The Thrashers rank 9th in the NHL on the power play. ...
The "Models of Inconsistency" return home to dance with the Stars tonight
Waiting For Stanley —
Both the Stars and Canucks are coming off disappointing losses. The Stars played catch up against the Oilers last night but failed 4-1. Coach Dave Tippett called it a "slap in the face to his team." He singled out Marty Turco for letting in 2 soft goals. When the Canucks lost 2-1 in a shootout to the Thrashers a couple nights ago, he called out Wellwood, Raymond and Bernier for lack of production. There is no problems with the Sedins right now. From Canucks.com: Daniel Sedin, who leads Vancouver with 19 goals and 41 points, had a goal and two assists against Atlanta, and has two goals and four assists over the last four games. Henrik Sedin, who registered ...

... liability and has no physical presence. I'd rather keep Ohlund for a potential playoff run and risk letting him go for nothing in the summer. Interesting column from Darren Dreger yesterday stating that the Lightning had offered Lecavalier and Paul Ranger to the Canucks for Roberto Luongo a couple years back. Check out that column here.

Not really an update...did any of you see the psychic perform a cleanse outside GM Place prior to the game against the Hurricanes? This woman could become a storyline if the Canucks beat the Hawks tonight.
