Yeesh. Feels like forever since there's been a Canucks game! Stupid All-Star break... Anyways, the Canucks are in Dallas with their siblings (I wonder if the Sedins brought their older brothers along?) and instead of the Alex Edler injury being the biggest story, it's the call-up of Cody Hodgson, expected to play his long-awaited first NHL game. It's been a long road for CoHo, what with all the injuries and sky-high expectations. Poor guy, if he doesn't score a goal, half of Vancouver's gonna think he's a bust. Heck, if he makes one wrong move the whole city's gonna want to trade him immediately.
What's even more daunting is the fact that Sweatty here brutally high-sticked Cody in the face during practice, resulting in his latest injury, a broken orbital bone, which is why he needs to wear a full face mask in his first NHL game. Just like the women wear. It may not seem like a big deal, but when you're already going to be under a huge amount of scrutiny, you don't want to draw any more attention to yourself.
Should be a good game in Dallas, as the Stars are still pissed at us for beating them 7-1. This time they'll be ready. (But we said that last time!!) Also, Cory Schneider gets his first start in like 6 games or something like that. In his last game in Dallas he played very strongly. Surprised that Dallas is going with Kari "Let-a-ton-in" Lehtonen, as he played poorly in both games against us this season. But heck, if he plays badly again, we'll take it!!
