GDT: Canes @ Canucks 10/20 10:00

Ehlers, Blake, Merilainen were the 3 stars in the building. Dude gives up 5 goals, his first sub .900 save % of the season and gets the 3rd star?

Slim pickins, honestly. Kooch barfed up a goal and a half above expected or else that would have been a 5-1, 6-1 kind of scoreline. Game Score-wise, Debrusk and Pettersson were their only skaters above +1, but only just over. He made a couple of flashy saves, so they threw a bone to Merilainen despite a meh night when he coughed up two goals to freaking D-Lo. It's a Canadian barn so they feel obligated to go traditional and award a star to the home team even when they lose, but you know it's gonna be a long season when you're making that kind of judgement call on the regular.
 
On a nice note, the huge contingent from Kamloops there to support Stank got to watch his line put on an absolute show. Oh also, we've been waiting for Ehlers to find some traction. He has.
 
This was game that seemed like a cat and mouse game for the first 2 periods - where we would take a lead, only to allow the Canucks to come back and tie it. Despite a pretty horrible PP, it was great to see us take charge in the 3rd.
