Five days previous, the Canucks used the overtime session at the HP Pavillion in San Jose to continue their run of success in San Jose.  Andrew Ebbett redirected a Kevin Bieksa point shot for his 4th goal of the season.  Fast forward to Monday night at Rogers Arena, where the Sharks reeled in a tired Canucks squad playing it’s fourth game in 6 nights.  Vancouver had won the first two games of the season series in San Jose.  The Sharks’ (defenceman) Dan Boyle spoke to the style of the burgeoning rivalry between them.  ”They’ve been close (games).   They’ve just been on the winning side of it.” … [visit site to read more]

All indications thus far from General Manager Mike Gillis point in this direction.  Several times during Cory Schneider’s hot run, Gillis was asked if they were going to move their back-up goaltender.  Several pundits vocalized that the Canucks needed to make a move, to bring in another piece, possibly on one of the wings, or a top four defenseman.  While the addition of one the afore-mentioned pieces might make the lineup look more complete, I assure you, it would hurt the teams’ depth. … [visit site to read more]
