VANCOUVER -- When the Vancouver Canucks hired John Tortorella, performances like Saturday nights were probably what they envisioned. Fast, aggressive forecheck and relentless puck pressure in all three zones are hallmarks of the fiery coachs style, and it was all on display against the overmatched Edmonton Oilers. Dan Hamhuis and Jannik Hansen scored 18 seconds apart late in the first period as the Canucks cruised to a 6-2 victory over the Oilers in Vancouvers home opener. "Thats the way we want to play. Thats the way we want to continue to play and we want to enforce that on other teams," said Canucks centre Ryan Kesler, who scored in the second period. "We want to do that every night. We want to win that way." Daniel Sedin had a goal and an assist, and Brad Richardson and Jason Garrison -- into an empty net -- also scored for the Canucks (1-1-0) as Roberto Luongo made 21 saves. Henrik Sedin picked up three assists as Vancouver rebounded from Thursdays season-opening 4-1 road loss to the San Jose Sharks in impressive fashion. "We were aggressive, we put a lot of pressure on their (defence)," said Henrik Sedin. "We didnt really play this way for the last couple of years, we were sitting back a little bit more and played a little more on the safe side." Tortorella, who replaced the fired Alain Vigneault in the off-season, has answered repeated questions about the players ability to adapt to his system. The Canucks showed spurts in their season-opening road loss to San Jose but Saturdays performance was closer to what the coach envisioned. "We were pretty consistent tonight in our attack," said Tortorella. "(Im) pretty satisfied with that part of the game." Luongo, back as Vancouvers No. 1 goalie after the the Canucks traded Cory Scheinder to the New Jersey Devils, had a good view of his teams domination of Edmonton. "Thats one of the best games Ive seen this team play in a long time," said Luongo. "It was 60 minutes. It was hard. We sustained pressure the whole game." Jeff Petry and Boyd Gordon had the goals for the Oilers (0-2-0). Devan Dubnyk allowed five goals on 31 shots before being replaced in the second period by Jason LaBarbera. The Edmonton backup finished with 12 saves. Oilers rookie head coach Dallas Eakins has spent the pre-season trying to shake the teams image of being in rebuild mode, stressing that the time to win is now. Its clearly going to take some time. "Old habits die hard," Eakins said. "I was encouraged with certain things going through the pre-season. I was more encouraged even though we let that game get away against Winnipeg (a 5-4 season-opening home loss). "Tonight we are back to square one. This isnt going to be an easy process here. We will dig our heels in and continue on." After the teams exchanged goals in the games first four minutes, the Canucks carried the play for the rest of the period, with Hamhuis and Hansen beating Dubnyk in quick succession late to give Vancouver a 3-1 lead after 20 minutes. Hamhuis made it 2-1 with a shot from just inside the Edmonton blue-line that took a deflection off Petrys stick with 1:33 left in the period. The fans at Rogers Arena had barely sat down from celebrating that goal when Hansen, who took the spot of the injured Alexandre Burrows on Vancouvers top line, beat Dubnyk from the slot to give his team a 3-1 edge at 18:45 as the Canucks closed out the period with a 22-8 advantage on the shot clock. Vancouver then made it 4-1 on the power play at 7:21 of the second on a picture-perfect passing play. Alexander Edler fed Henrik Sedin, who in turn found his brother Daniel with a no-look spin-o-rama pass in front of a helpless Dubnyk. The Vancouver onslaught continued at 13:56 when Kesler ripped a shot past Dubnyk from the top of the faceoff circle with the teams playing 4-on-4. That spelled the end of the night for the Edmonton goaltender, who was replaced by LaBarbera. "We shot a lot tonight. It was good to see. We had a lot of second and third opportunities. When you shoot that much youre going to get six goals," said Kesler, who finished with nine shots. "You shoot that much, you play that much with the puck, youre going to tire out the other team." Gordon gave Edmonton some life when he scored off an odd-man rush at 15:23 but the Oilers still trailed by three after two periods and wouldnt get any closer in the third before Garrison iced it with a short-handed empty-net goal at 18:16. The Oilers got on the board first at 1:58 of the opening period when Petry beat Luongo five-hole from a sharp angle with both teams down a man. But the lead didnt last long as Richardson, who joined the Canucks as a free agent in the off-season, raced in on a short-handed breakaway and beat Dubnyk between the pads to tie the score at 3:42 before Hamhuis and Hansen scored late in the period. "We really did come out OK," said Oilers left-winger Taylor Hall, who was minus-4. "We scored the first goal. They scored right after that and we just kind of fell off the wagon there."

The Jayhawks (7-3) were coming off back-to-back road losses to Colorado and Florida, but got back on track behind big efforts from Embiid and Perry Ellis, who had a game-high 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting and added nine rebounds. Embiid tallied 16 of his points after halftime. Cameron Bairstow and Kendall Williams each finished with 24 points for the Lobos (7-2), who shot just 27.3 percent (6-for-22) in the second half en route to having a four-game win streak halted. Kansas owned a slim 41-40 edge early in the second half until Ellis and Embiid led a 14-2 run to create some distance. The two dropped in seven points apiece during the surge, with Ellis layup off a Wayne Selden feed putting the Jayhawks up 55-42 with under 13 1/2 minutes left. New Mexico netted six straight points later on to cut the deficit to 60-54 midway through the final frame, and Williams was fouled by Andrew Wiggins while burying a deep triple shortly afterward. He promptly sank the bonus attempt to pull the Lobos within 63-58 with 8:03 remaining. That was as close as New Mexico would get, as Kansas responded by embarking on a 12-1 tear to put the conntest out of reach.dddddddddddd Embiid again had a big hand in the momentum-changing sequence, putting up seven more points as the Jayhawks built a comfortable 75-59 advantage with under three minutes to play. Behind 16 points from Bairstow and 12 from Williams, the Lobos were able to hang right with the Jayhawks all throughout a tightly-contested opening half that contained six lead changes and saw neither team ahead by more than six points. Wiggins tipped in teammate Naadir Tharpes miss with 1:16 to go in the period to snap a 34-34 tie, then later hit two free throws to put Kansas ahead by a 39-36 score in the closing seconds. New Mexico trailed by just one at intermission, though, after Arthur Edwards second-chance bucket just prior to the buzzer.
