And that's exactly how it played out

Canucks captain Henrik Sedin said before Thursday night's first-place showdown with St. Louis that Vancouver would need to burberry ties match the Blues' tight defensive play. And that's exactly how it played out. Roberto Luongo made 29 saves for his 58th career shutout, Alexandre Burrows broke a scoreless tie 4:17 into the third period and Chris Higgins added an empty-net goal with 38.1 seconds left as the Canucks became the first team to 90 points with a 2-0 victory at Rogers Arena. After a near-perfect checking game for the stingy Blues, it came down to a lucky bounce and the Canucks got a couple of them for the winner. Canucks defenseman Kevin Bieksa whiffed on a shot from the left point, but the puck bounced straight to Dan Hamhuis at the other side for a slap shot. That went wide, but kicked hard off the end boards to Burrows at the side of the net -- and his quick, high backhand from a sharp angle hit Brian Elliott in the shoulder and fluttered into the net. That was all the Canucks needed to snap a two-game skid – both losses were in extra time -- improve to 13-1-5 in their 19 games, and move three points ahead of St. Louis in the West and two up on the New York Rangers atop the NHL. Elliott, starting for burberry watches the first time in five games after Jaroslav Halak played the night before in Edmonton, finished with 22 saves for the Blues, who had their season-high road win streak snapped at four games, and dropped behind Detroit, which also has 87 points, in the race for first place in the Central Division. The Wings have a game in hand, which they'll use Friday night against Minnesota. Despite playing the night before in Edmonton, it was the Blues who held the early edge in play and shots. St. Louis put 10 shots on net before the Canucks, playing the first game back after a six-game road trip, managed their first at 7:44. But St. Louis seemed to sputter slightly after its power play, ranked 23rd in the NHL and 29th on the road, failed to generate much on its first chance midway through the period -- with Luongo lunging to make his best save off Vladimir Sobotka on the Blues' only good chance alone atop the slot on a rebound. The puck went straight up and might have gone in, but Luongo blockered it on top of the net. Neither team did much with their two power plays, with the Blues extending their penalty-kill perfection to 24 chances over eight games against a Vancouver man advantage that that came in ranked second, but is struggling of late. Luongo made a last-second blocker save on a screened shot from the point early in the second period, and stopped St. Louis captain David Backes from the high slot a short while later. But for the most part, the Canucks made his life easy, taking a page out of the Blues' book as the NHL's tightest defensive team – St. Louis came in with four 1-0 wins already this season, while the Canucks had yet to play a 1-0 game -- by taking away the middle of the ice and limiting the Blues' second chances. PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. ? Davis Love III looked more like a player than a Ryder Cup captain Thursday at the Honda Classic. Love made a hole-in-one on the 197-yard fifth hole and tied the course record at PGA National with a 6-under 64, giving him a 2-shot lead. He took advantage of soft and relatively calm conditions in the morning. Rory McIlroy was in a group of burberry sunglasses eight at 66, needing a win this week to go to No. 1 in the world. Tiger Woods needs a good round just to have a chance going into the weekend. Playing the Honda Classic for the first time as a pro, Woods twice lost momentum with sloppy bogeys and failed to convert a routine up-and-down on the par-5 18th for a 1-over 71. He was 7 shots out of the lead, right on the cut line going into today. But he played in tougher conditions, with stronger wind, in the afternoon and still hit the ball well, as he has been doing. "I didn't get a whole lot out of my round," Woods said. "I hit the ball a lot better than I scored, and I certainly putted well, and I didn't hardly get anything out of the round. Hopefully, tomorrow it will be better." Woods missed only three greens, but took 34 putts. Love, 47, has been around long enough to know that one round is nothing more than a good start, and he was happy to have that after a 5-iron to 18 feet for birdie on the 17th and a bunker shot to tap-in range for birdie on the par-5 18th. "If I had not birdied the last two holes, it still would have been a good start," Love said. "It's fun to tie the burberry scarves course record. And it's fun to shoot low scores." Nine other players have shot 64 at PGA National, the most recent Graeme McDowell a year ago. McIlroy, 22, also got off to a good start, only this held much more promise. The Northern Ireland native is looking like the world's best player with each tournament he plays. He won an unofficial event in Shanghai in October, the Hong Kong Open a week later and only once has finished outside the top 10 since the PGA Championship. A week ago, he lost in the final of the Match Play Championship. As even more attention shifts to the U.S. Open champion, McIlroy seems to embrace it. He made his opening round at PGA National look easy, rarely putting pressure on any part of his game.Cheap burberry - designer bags, shoes, accessories, clothing outlet 2012. He birdied the last two holes of the back nine, made the turn and picked up another birdie on the par-4 second by smartly playing short of the bunkers and firing his approach into a breeze to about 18 feet from a back pin. His final birdie came on the par-3 seventh, when caddie J.P. Fitzgerald talked him into a hard 6-iron that stopped 12 feet short of the cup.
