      The Vancouver Canucks lost a heartbreaker in Anaheim tonight.

      Cam Fowler knocked in a rebound at 2:42 of the overtime period, sealing a 2-1 victory for the first-place Ducks.

      Vancouver opened the scoring at 2:04 of the second period, with Yannick Webber beating Frederik Andersen on a screen shot from the point.

      Francois Beauchemin tied it up at 6:52 of the third period with his first goal of the season, also a screened shot from the point.

      The Canucks only managed six shots on goal in the final two periods of regulation time but they were solid defensively, blocking 21 shots.

      Meanwhile, Vancouver netminder Ryan Miller turned aside 29 shots, keeping the team in the game, particularly in the third period.

      With less than three minutes left in regulation time, Andrew Cogliano looked like he beat Miller, but the shot ricocheted off the crossbar.

      Then in overtime, Daniel Sedin overskated a rolling puck on a breakaway.

      After tonight's win, the Ducks are 18-0-6 in one-goal games.

      Reasonable effort by Canucks but Christmas turkey really threw their passing skills off kilter. Outcome was fair.

      Because CS and the GS are locked in old ways, preventing them from understanding what 400 ppm is doing here. CS and the GS are trying to live in 2015 through Freud rather than Deleuze, Dawkins rather than Margulis, McLuhan rather than Coupland, running about with smartphones to find a payphone to call a barber for a bleeding for a radiation victim. But 400 ppm knows that CS and the GS are close to getting it. Very close. And 400 ppm is patient.

      I wonder if 400 ppm is onto something.

      What would be the financial implications of a paper saying: "No, never, we're not going to write any stories about sports ever" (Unless it's critical)?
