* This was Vancouver’s first trip to Music City since they won Game 6 in last year’s Western Conference Semi-final.
* It was NHL game number 600 for former Predator and current Canuck defenseman Dan Hamhuis.
* This was the second straight game with a spontaneous TV timeout standing ovation.

from Ed Willes of the Vancouver Province, The decision over the future of the Vancouver Canucks’ goaltending position might be the most important of general manager Mike Gillis’s administration but, in analyzing things as they stand, there is one number that stands out for Roberto Luongo.

Tuesday Night did not feature a whole lot of scoring as goaltending seemed to rule the roost. It is kind of ironic that one of the best saves came in a game that was one of the highest scoring. Sometimes that is just how it happens but give Roberto Luongo credit. He got a win last night against Pekka Rinne who had lost just three times in his last 24 contests. Luongo was...
