CANUCKS 4, PENGUINS 3 (OT)
One of these days the Canucks will find a way to win a game in regulation; it hasn't happened in quite while.
I know I'm late with this, but with this team, it's better late than never to give them their due props.
All four goals were scored by Markus Naslund (coming off a one-game sit-out for a groin injury) last night, who now has 36 points (15 goals/21 assists) to lead the NHL after the games on December 9th.
Great for Naslund, great for the top line.
But the disturbing stat, as I said is...
The Canucks have one regulation victory -- and four in overtime -- in the last 13 games, and haven't won a 60-minute game at General Motors Place since Nov. 8.
Sometime soon that has got to change. The Penguins are the worst damn team in the NHL and the Canucks needed more than 60 minutes to beat them. It's somewhat of a sobering thought.
