The Vancouver Canucks showed some rust early, then their rest paid off in the third period. Defenseman Christian Ehrhoff's second goal pulled Vancouver even 5:12 into the third period, and Henrik Sedin netted the go-ahead tally less than four minutes later as the Canucks rallied late to beat the Colorado Avalanche 5-2 on Friday night.
Last night's game had all the makings of trouble after the first period. Goalie fighting the puck, iffy PK work and general timing issues after a 6 day break all provided the Avalanche with a 2 goal lead after 20 minutes. Into the second the Canucks got a PP and new hero to Canucks fans everywhere, Christian Ehrhoff, scored the first of 2 goals and almost the beginning of a hat trick. Few tea...
The Montreal Canadiens notched a rare regulation win with a 3-2 victory over the Capitals in Washington on Friday.
Washington welcomes back Alex Ovechkin on Friday as the Captials host the Montreal Canadiens.
I was going to write this blog yesterday and talk about being prepared for a team you humiliated and the ramifications of a 5 day break at home. I'm glad I didn't as what happened last night in Calgary really shook my reality. If the Flames were a team looking for revenge and such it certainly didn't appear that way after 20 minutes. So if you get blown out do you get up for the re-match?...
Ryan Potulny and Patrick O'Sullivan scored third-period goals and the Edmonton Oilers overcame a two-goal deficit to beat the Colorado Avalanche 6-4 on Wednesday night.

DENVER - In game No. 667, Henrik Sedin had a first.
In game No. 667, Henrik Sedin had a first. The center -- an All-Star last season -- notched his first NHL hat trick, helping the Vancouver Canucks snap a three-game skid with an 8-2 rout of the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night. Sedin's three-goal spurt was part of Vancouver's biggest offensive outburst of the season, and broke the Canucks out of a scoring funk.
We're 20 games in and things are not going according to plan. Injuries are the obvious excuse but are they a valid excuse? Perhaps not. If I had to pin point to major areas of concern I would choose the anemic offense and the over hyped defense. However, there seems to be a third factor that is creeping into the identity of the Canucks, a lack of effort. Since the start of the season th...
The Edmonton Oilers went back to basics after losing five straight on the road and three in a row overall. "Keep things simple," Oilers right winger Dustin Penner said. Ryan Potulny and Penner scored two of Edmonton's four power-play goals and also had assists, and the Oilers handed the Colorado Avalanche their first home loss of the season, 5-3 on Sunday night.

TORONTO - Toronto defenceman Tomas Kaberle is the NHL's first star of the week despite his team's struggles out of the gate this season.
There's not much to say for the game tonight. The Avs have one loss the Canucks have seven. There's a reason why. Injuries are one thing but the Avs are playing like a team and making things happen. For the Canucks he only thing happening is injuries. All teams get them but the more concerning issues is that the injuries now only affect the offense. The defense has all but let down the te...
Ryane Clowe had reason to smile. He finally scored a goal this season and it came at an opportune moment. Evgeni Nabokov made 24 saves, and Clowe and Jamie McGinn scored their first goals of the season to help the San Jose Sharks beat the Western Conference-leading Colorado Avalanche 3-1 on Friday night.
Look at any popular duo, and you'll find the entertainment stems from their differences, rather than their similarities. Whether it's Bert and Ernie, Penn and Teller, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Hall and Oates, Ren and Stimpy, Jules and Vincent, Tom and Jerry or Simon and Garfunkel, their contrasting styles boost the entertainment value. Twins aren't interesting because they're interchangeable. That's t...
The Colorado Avalanche have played twice as many games on the road than at home so far this season. It doesn't seem to have bothered them in the slightest.
Craig Anderson stopped 25 shots for his second shutout of the season, leading the Colorado Avalanche to a 3-0 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night. Wojtek Wolski had two goals and Milan Hejduk also scored as the Avalanche (9-1-2) won their third in a row and fifth of their last six. Colorado also improved to 5-1-2 on the road.
Colorado Avalanche have the best record in the Western Conference and are defying expectations with their...
