With the Canucks squaring off against the Avalanche in Denver tonight in their first matchup since Steve Moore's questionable hit against Markus Naslund, I suspect that everyone with the NHL Centre Ice package will be flipping over to watch at least part of the game. I know I will be.

Is there anything better during the regular season then a matchup between two rivals with revenge on their mind? While Moore's hit may have angered Canuck fans, it is amazing how a fringe player with one action can turn the league spotlight on a matchup.

You might not respect or enjoy cheapshot artists but their actions can really make a regular season much more intense.
