Roberto Luongo turned in a 24-save shutout over the Colorado Avalanche last night as the Canucks improved to 3-2-2 this season. Zack Kassian had his fifth goal of the year in the win. Let’s take a look at the rest of a short night on ice. Chicago lost its first game of the season in a shootout 3-2 to the Minnesota Wild. The notable happening in that game was that goaltender Nicklas Backstrom came on in relief of Josh Harding. Harding gave up two goals on four shots in 6:45 and was yanked. Backstrom came in an turned aside all 28 shots he saw through the end of regulation and OT to get the win. Looks like we might have more clarity to the goaltending questions in Minnesota. Ottawa continued to roll with a 5-1 over visiting Montreal. The Craig Anderson express continues to roll as he stopped 31 of 32 shots to improve to 5-0-1 this season and keep his GAA at a league-best 0.99 amongst regular starters. Jason Spezza was scratched again with a back injury and he is still day-to-day at th...

Canucks' Luongo shuts out Avalanche

Via AP on Fox  |  January 31, 2013
Roberto Luongo made 24 saves for his first win of the season and the Vancouver Canucks beat the Colorado Avalanche 3-0 on Wednesday night. Luongo, who has been on the trading block since Cory Schneider replaced him as Vancouver's No. 1 goaltender, was rarely tested but still made some big saves in his 61st career shutout. With the Canucks leading 2-0 in the third, Luongo stopped...

Eklund: Morning Buzz: Being Fair to Luongo... and His Teammates

Via HockeyBuzz  |  January 29, 2013
There is nothing new to report on the Roberto Luongo trade front at the moment. The same holding pattern is in place, with the Canucks not coming down on their demands. It is STILL all about Toronto, despite the scuttlebutt that Florida, SJ, Wash, Edm, Chicago, Ottawa are all dipping their toes in trade offers. The Canucks keep waiting on the bidding war to develop (AKA, Toronto...

Hey…Canucks fans! Controversy? What Controversy?

Via NorthWest Sports Beat  |  January 31, 2013
Here we go again… Really? Do you want to talk about something else around the water cooler today? The Canucks won, so you have most, if not all of your hair; and it was only a Wednesday, so you’re probably not droopy eyed and clinging to that fifth cup of coffee. I just wanted to take a second to touch on the goalie issues the Canucks are currently having, or not currently having...

For The NHL Gamblers! Headline: Canucks Look to Snap Two game Slide – Host Avalanche Wednesday Night The Vancouver Canucks can thank Roberto Luongo for the one point they gained in Los Angeles on Monday night – he was clearly the best player on the ice for an obviously tired Vancouver squad. The Canucks will likely turn back to Cory Schneider when they host the Colorado Avalanche...

Ian Esplen: Back off, we're keeping him

Follow me on twitter @IanEsplen to chat hockey, sports and life in general anytime The stage is now set for a controversy, as Roberto Luongo played himself back into the number one role and all Cory Schneider could do was watch. But then again, that's nothing new in Vancouver when it comes to goaltenders; we like our goalies like we like our ice cream – a new flavour...

Goalie Soap Opera Only Beginning in Vancouver?

Via The Hockey Guys  |  January 30, 2013
By Bill Kellett Getty Images No one in the city of Vancouver thought they would ever see Roberto Luongo in net again for the Vancouver Canucks. Yet, there he was between the pipes in the first game of the season. He took over in relief of the newly anointed No. 1 Cory Schneider after possibly his worst game in professional hockey. One game later, there he was again drawing the starting...

Blackhawks-Canucks Preview

Via AP on Fox  |  January 31, 2013
It seemed a near certainty Roberto Luongo had played his final game in a Vancouver Canucks sweater after Cory Schneider supplanted him as the team's No. 1 goaltender during last season's playoffs. Now, he's proving to be an asset. Luongo will make his third straight start Friday night as Vancouver hosts the rival Chicago Blackhawks, who have earned 13 of a possible...

Best & Worst Nucks It may be an unusual season in terms of length in this post-lockout world, but aside from that it’s yet another year and yet another slow start for the Vancouver Canucks. However, unless the uncertain tangle the team is in gets unravelled mighty quick this year could be done and dusted. The middling start for the team matches the indifferent performance of...

NWSB Picks: The weekly Canucks three stars – January 29th

For the week of January 20-27 The Vancouver Canucks‘ first week (and a bit) of the new shortened NHL season is in the books. Entering Monday the C’s owned a record of 2-2-1 and sit near the middle of the pack in the Western Conference. The reduced number of games in this lockout-altered season means that each game matters that much more than in typical years. If you’re a Canucks...

If you ever thought there was a goaltending controversy in Chicago, the Vancouver Canucks one-upped the Blackhawks in that department. Last summer the Canucks organization decided to publicize Cory Schneider's promotion as their starting netminder, leaving Roberto Luongo as trade fodder. Little did they know, no team out there is willing to give anything of value for a goaltender...
