Well, at least Radim Vrbata wasn’t easy to play against for Canucks

For at least one night, the Vancouver Canucks weren’t that easy to play against ... or at least Radim Vrbata was tough to stop.

He generated his first hat trick as a member of the Canucks on Monday, powering a 5-2 win against the Buffalo Sabres.

In the process, the Canucks ended an odious five-game losing streak that prompted captain Henrik Sedin to say that he’d love to play against Vancouver in its current state.

Does one win against a franchise that’s still finding itself in Buffalo really erase that? Nah, but it still must have been a relief to end the skid, especially with Ryan Miller beating his old cronies.

And, hey, as of this moment they’d be a playoff team, so it’s not all bad for the Canucks.
