C'mon writer, "eight nine"? What's more, omitting either one of those words still won't make the sentence correct. Before tonight's game, they had lost their last nine home games. Is that what the writer was going for, because wording it as, they've lost their last nine games on home ice, can be construed as, their last nine games have all been losses and all been at home, which is not true. But that's all behind us now as the Canucks won tonight (Kesler to Burrows... shorthanded game-winning goal!) and a lengthy winning streak is now beginning.
