Vancouver has only played two games so far this season, including a 5-4 shootout win over Edmonton last Saturday. Chris Higgins scored the only goal in the shootout, and he says it’s been tough having such a long layoff so early in the season “It kind of feels like another start to the season. It would be nice to keep that contact and that game tempo up a little bit, but we had a nice week of practice. We’ll be hungry for the game Friday night.” The Oilers will be hungry tonight, winless in four games, their only point coming against Vancouver. “The key for us is matching their tenacity for the puck,” noted Higgins. “I’m sure they’re going to be working like they’ve never worked before. That’s how we have to approach the game, to approach it with the same dirty mindset that they will have.” Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins agrees with Higgins, adding they have to address this game like it’s a must-win for the Oilers. “We have to be really ready. They’re going to be ready and they’re a good team. If you look at segments of the game they played [at Rogers Arena], they out played us,” Desjardins believes. “For them, they just want to play that way for longer segments. The thing that swung it our way was the power plays. Up to the power plays, it was pretty even, but then we got some momentum.” In Saturday’s win, the Canuck top line of Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin and Radim Vrbata combined for seven points.

Don McMorris, the snowboarders father, says Mark is moving around quite well after the incident during Saturdays slopestyle event at the Winter X Games in Aspen, Colo. "When we left him (Sunday), he could bend over and touch his toes because of where (the injury) is at," Don McMorris told The Canadian Press on Monday. "You know a cracked rib in the front, you couldnt do that, but where its at (around the back), he could bend to his toes and could raise his knees up to kind of his chest. "He was really doing better than we all thought. Hes got five or six days before he has to worry about riding and hes got the best people around him." Mark McMorris caught his snowboard on the lip of a rail and went sliding down the bar on his right side before landing hard on the snow during the final. He stayed on the ground for a few minutes before riding down the hill under his own power. It seems the 20-year-old Regina native lost focus. "He probably hit that rail through the week, I dont know 50 times, and never had a problem with it or any of the rails because thats, I think, one of the strongest parts of his riding," said Don McMorris, who was in Aspen when his son fell. "But obviously he was focused on what he was going to do on the jump line because he was going to try something pretty major." Don McMorris says his son didnt hurt much at first, but the pain got worse as the afternoon wore on. Mark McMorrris finished with a silver medal at the event, but was "pretty down," said his father. Josh Hader Jersey. Mark McMorris had said being an Olympian is a dream come true. He was the two-time defending Winter X Games champion in slopestyle. When he was named to the Olympic team earlier this month, McMorris said hes been "preparing like a mad man." The fall raised questions as to whether he could compete in Sochi. "He was really scared, not necessarily about his own well-being, I dont think, but that he wouldnt get to go to the Olympics," said Don McMorris. "That was really playing on his mind and when he does that, he just gets really quiet and doesnt really talk or say much to anybody. "And you could just tell that he was really scared and worried about not getting to fulfil his dream." The elder McMorris says the tough part was waiting to hear what the team doctors had to say. He describes it as an agonizing wait of about three hours. They eventually decided Mark would go to Sochi, as planned. "I cant tell you what he said because that would not be printable," joked Don McMorris. "He was really relieved." A fractured rib usually takes six weeks to heal, so Mark McMorris wont have time to fully recover before the Games start Feb. 7. But his father is cautiously optimistic. "Yes, Im optimistic, (I) have to be," he said. "I mean maybe too optimistic because theres going to be a lot of pain and . . . you dont know how the body will react, but compared to what it could have been, were pretty happy."
