Noronen is starting tonight

Mika gets start number 2 tonite. A little late though since they are out of the playoffs.

And he looked very good too. Bad rebound on one that went off a skate. Otherwise, very solid.

 

Canucks would have made it had Crawford not burned out Auld completely.

[Rock DJ]

Yeah, he did... made some very solid saves.. Even had the crowd give him a standing O at one point. Was good to see that for him.

Great for Mika.

 

31 saves on 34 shots. 9 on the power play.

 

This kid will be a player some day. I just hope a team is smart enough to give him his chance. He showed a lot of class here in Buffalo. The NHL needs fmore of him and less Darcey Tuckers.

the NHL needs more of anything more than it needs Darcy Tuckers.

Let the hate begin. 5 o clock.

He did look good. The third-period goals that Colorado scored couldn't possibly be attributed to poor goaltending. But after the game, Hrudey was pretty confident that Auld is the Canucks' starter of the future. At least Noronen should see some playing time, though.

[rickshaw]

Hrudey?? How he has a job is beyond me.

 

They also said Auld faded down the stretch. Of course he did.

 

If Crawford hadn't panicked after Mika's only start, where the team was awful by the way, and had rotated them both, this team would be in. I fully believe that.

 

Auld is solid but cannot steal you a game. Noronen can.

The fact they only gave him the one shot after not playing for 4 months was just plain idiotic. Yet they put him in mop-up duty, where he did pretty well. Then still refused to come back with him.
