I missed this one, but NHL.com tells us New York won in a shootout. 4-3

Damn...have we won one in extra minutes yet this season? I don't think so. Why not?

The Canucks have played 4 games that went into OT so far this season, 2 of which went to the SO. Unfortunately they have lost all 4 of those games....

I heard a little bit of the game on the radio and it sounded like our guys were all over them.

I can't believe we lost from what I heard.

A PP goal by Thomas Vanek, his 6th, in the 1st and a SH goal by Bo Horvat, his 10th, in the 2nd was all the offense the Canucks could muster in a 5-2 loss to the Islanders. This brings their record for this 6 game road trip to 2-2-1. The Canucks end this trip Thursday when they visit Nashville.

[Zipperfish]

They missed a lot of chances. Still think they are good for a playoff spot though.

It would be good to see them end this road trip on a positive note.
