EDMONTON, Alberta -- The Vancouer Canucks came back from a 2-0 deficit on the road to beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-2 in overtime Monday night, securing their spot atop the Northwest Division standings. The Oilers jumped out to a 2-0 lead and then hung on for dear life in the last 30 minutes of regulation. They were outshot 15-4 in the second period and didn't get its first shot of the third period until the 9:30 mark. Down to five defensemen and three centers after injuries to Marc Fistric and Shawn Horcoff, the Oilers held out as long as they could, but Kevin Bieksa finally tied it with 2:17 left in regulation and Chris Tanev won it with 19 seconds left in overtime. Taylor Hall had a chance to win it with a penalty shot in overtime for Edmonton, but Roberto Luongo stood his ground and made the save. This was the flip side of Edmonton's season opener in Vancouver, when the Oilers came back from a 2-0 hole on goals by Jordan Eberle and Ales Hemsky before winning it in a...

February 06, 2013
We’re now into our third week of this abbreviated NHL season and the transformation of Roberto Luongo has been downright incredible. Remember how Luongo was viewed by many fans and media back in April? He was for sure the second best goalie in Vancouver, he had an ego, he was overrated, he crumbled under the pressure and on and on and on.
Fast forward to February 2013 and Luongo’s...

It's getting awkward in Vancouver
Roberto Luongo made his fourth consecutive start Monday night for the Vancouver Canucks. Any other year, that would be nothing of note. But given the offseason the Canucks went through, it's a bit head-scratching.
The Canucks seemed all but committed to Cory Schneider after giving the former backup a three-year contract extension worth $12 million. The secondary move, after...

It looks like Luongo will get the starts in Vancouver
Now your probably reading this and saying why is this on a Bruins blog? The answer is because I, like most Bruins fans despise the Canucks and all their antics after that 7 game Stanley Cup finals, and
nothing makes me happier than seeing a team I hate so much having a bunch of problems.
At the start of the short season...

The Vancouver Canucks became the talk of the NHL last week thanks to a crowded crease featuring Roberto Luongo and Cory Schneider, but off the ice the organization was simultaneously demonstrating a wealth of excellence that earned less attention.

Cory Schneider is still the starter of the Vancouver Canucks in the same way Roberto Luongo was still the starter last year when Schneider was riding a hot hand.
All that’s really happening right now is that Luongo is increasing his trade value.
Oh, and Ryan Kesler took part in his first practice yesterday.
Things are looking up.
