VANCOUVER – Sure, it’s early. Patrick Robinson Jersey . But it’s also seven wins in 10 tries for the Vancouver Canucks. And it’s impossible to argue with .700 hockey at any point in a National Hockey League season. Consider, too, the fact the Canucks ushered in a new coaching staff with new systems and a handful of new faces throughout the line-up and the team’s quick bolt from the starting gate has come as a pleasant surprise. While there are still areas to work on – letting a 2-0 third period get away before winning in overtime on Thursday against Montreal is proof of that – the Canucks have already salted away 14 of a possible 20 points in the standings that could prove valuable at season’s end. And they’ve done it with inspired play from their best players, spread scoring from the foot soldiers, a vibrant power play, a return to form from their top defensive pair and terrific goaltending. It’s tough to imagine those factors will be present in every 10 game stretch over the course of the marathon regular season, but the first 10 games have certainly provided a foundation for the Canucks to build on. “It’s still early -- we could have been five and five and you would have asked about a bad start and I would have said it’s still early,” captain Henrik Sedin said moments after setting up brother Daniel for the overtime winner against the Canadiens. “But I like the way we play. I like the way we battle for each other. There’s an overall feeling in this room that guys really want to play for each other and that’s a really good feeling. It’s not going to be pretty every night, but it’s fun to watch right now.” Henrik and Daniel Sedin are leading the way with 12 points apiece through the first 10 games and new linemate Radim Vrbata has added 11 of his own. The top line carried the Canucks through the first week of the season, but since then, the club has received timely contributions from the likes of Nick Bonino, Jannik Hansen, Linden Vey and for the second straight game Brad Richardson. Willie Desjardin’s coaching staff has implemented a power play that has converted on nine of 38 chances (23.7%) and produced at least one goal in seven of the team’s first 10 games. Last year, the Canucks didn’t score their ninth power play goal of the season until the third week of November. In their own zone, Vancouver has seen a vast improvement in the play of Alex Edler. While still prone to the odd miscue, Edler’s mistakes aren’t winding up in the team’s net. In fact, he and partner Chris Tanev haven’t been on the ice for any of the last 10 goals the Canucks have surrendered, and on the season, Edler – who struggled so mightily a year ago – has been on the ice for just eight of the 29 goals the team has allowed so far this season. Edler and the rest of the Canucks have been bailed out on several occasions already by Ryan Miller who has been sensational in the early going. A forgettable night in Dallas is his only loss, and with the victory over Montreal, Miller joined the Habs Carey Price as the first goalies in the league to seven victories. Millers solid positioning within the crease has particularly been noticeable in the early going, as hes made his seven wins look fairly easy with an economy of motion that’s allowed him to stay calm. After registering his 300th NHL win on Tuesday against Carolina, Miller pushed his early season home ice record to 4-0 thanks to Thursday nights victory against the Canadiens. “We’ve won some games at home now and we’ve had a few hard battles,” Miller said. “If you went back and said you’d be in this position after ten games, I’d say that’s a good place to be. But this league is really, really tough as you install in travel and teams start to break your systems down, you have to keep improving, keep building you game as the season goes. There are a lot of things that go into it. A good start helps, but you have to keep improving every week and keep climbing and come together as a group. That’s how I’d like to see things go.” Miller and his teammates are well aware things will only get tougher from here. There is no resting on their laurels for the Canucks, who know there are no prizes handed out for solid starts or strong Octobers. Over the next month, the club will get its first look of the new season versus Nashville, San Jose, Anaheim, Los Angeles and Chicago – the types of teams Vancouver will see in the playoffs if they can parlay the quick start into a post-season berth. It’s only 10 games, but given the many questions swirling prior to their season, with seven wins, the Canucks have come through the first 10 games of their schedule as one of the early surprises in the NHL. Zach Ertz Jersey . Bring on Freddy Garcia. The well-travelled 36-year-old right-hander earned his second NL victory since 2007, and his first since he joined the Atlanta Braves last month, pitching six innings to help beat Miami 6-1 Thursday. Chris Maragos Jersey . Lowry and the Raptors officially announced a four-year US$48 million dollar deal Thursday. The deal was reported last week but couldnt be made official until Thursday, when the moratorium on signings was lifted. "They were real factors.

DETROIT -- The Boston Bruins took full advantage of Detroits mistakes, and their stellar goaltenders flawless performance. Dougie Hamilton and Jordan Caron scored in the first period after the Red Wings had miscues on the ice and Tuukka Rask finished with a 23-save shutout, giving Boston a 3-0 win over the Red Wings and a 2-1 series lead in their first-round series. Patrice Bergeron added an empty-net goal late in the third period, sealing the lopsided game. The Presidents Trophy-winning Bruins are ahead in the series for the first time. And, it seems like a commanding lead the way they have played the past two games. "I would never say that," Boston coach Claude Julien insisted. Detroit has to win Game 4 on Thursday night to avoid facing elimination when the series shifts back to Boston. Jimmy Howard made 31 saves for the Red Wings, who needed him to make what appeared to be a routine stop midway through the first period on the first goal. Hamiltons wrist shot from the top of the right circle beat Howards glove on a power play after Detroit had too many men on the ice. "That goal cant go in," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said. "They were better than us all night, but we gave them two goals." The Red Wings didnt have enough players in position to stop the second goal. After a poorly timed line change, Caron was all alone in front of the net and scored off a rebound created by Shawn Thorntons shot. "Once I turned around and got to the blue line, I saw there was a lot of ice," Thornton said. Detroit had a 5-on-3 power play for 35 seconds midway through the second period and could not take advantage. The Red Wings had perhaps their best chance early in the third period, but Rask made a sprawling stop to get his glove on Justin Abdelkaders shot. "Just tried to track it down and leave the rebound to someone else," Rask said. Detroit did not have many other opportunities against Rask, who ended up with his fourth career playoff shutout. The Red Wings had a power play midway through the third period and got only one shot to Rask, whose teammates prevented the puck from getting to him by putting their bodies and sticks in the way all night. Ron Jaworski Jersey. "Thats part of our defensive game," Julien said. "Guys arent afraid to block shots." The Red Wings pulled Howard to have an extra skater late in the game, but failed to dump the puck deep into the Boston end. Bergeron made a long shot into an empty net with 1:59 left to make it 3-0. Since the Red Wings won Game 1 on Pavel Datsyuks goal late in the third period, they have been outscored 7-1. "It hasnt been easy, lets not kid ourselves," Julien said. "Weve been fortunate enough in the last two games to get leads. Were not going to talk about a comfortable situation because until you win that fourth game, it never is." Detroit did not have one of its top forwards, Daniel Alfredsson, because of a back ailment and is still without two key players, captain Henrik Zetterberg and defenceman Jonathan Ericsson, because of injuries. Even with all three of those players and a 100 per cent healthy Pavel Datsyuk, who is playing with a banged-up left knee, Boston simply might be too tough to beat. The defending Eastern Conference and 2011 Stanley Cup champions are big, strong, fast and talented. Boston proved that during the regular season, leading the NHL with 117 points, and has shown how dominant it can be after losing the closely contested Game 1. "Theyve responded since then and weve had no push back in the last two games," Babcock lamented.
