The record's stuck... the record's stuck... the record's stuck...

Another great performance by Jason LaBarbera, another maddening shootout loss because we have guys who can't put the puck in the freakin' net... Dallas didn't really deserve a point in that game last night. Marty "Informer" Turco really saved their asses on a number of occasions, but was still the 2nd best goalie of the night. I feel for LaBarbera, who has played well since coming over to the Canucks, but only has one win to show for it. Things could change as we will know soon if Mats Sundin will be in the lineup Wednesday against Edmonton, but in the meantime the Canucks need to figure out a way to start getting wins in the shootout, or those lost points will come back to haunt them. A good night from the 4th line once again, Darcy Hordichuk is proving to be quite a good pickup for the Nucks, as well as the line of Raymond, Wellwood and Bernier, who looked dangerous all night.

Canada faces off against Sweden for gold in 15 minutes, I am calling it 5-4 for Canada. It's gonna be a hell of a game, and as a Canucks fan you have to love the way Cody Hodgson has played in this tournament. This kid will be a star, I can just feel it.
