It is clear to many people why the Canucks cannot get rid of Mason Raymond.

May Ray is a perimeter forward with speed and some skill. I remember watching a play during the Phoenix game tonight where he skates quickly into the zone with the puck, stops, and pivots to his right in order to make a pass to another forward.

The guy simply doesn't play an aggressive game to skate, and attack the net. He goes for the perimeter play.

Still shaking my head at coach AV for putting this "spin o rama" dud in the shootout. That move is so predictable.

Hodgson was dearly missed in the shootout.

Kassian played well, given that he travelled far away from Buffalo. He had five hits, made good passes. -did take some penalties but didn't cost the team any power play goals against them.
