sabourWIN !!!

Canucks 3
Ducks 2
overtime win

Finally, Dany Sabourin wins his first NHL game. He was nothing short of brilliant. Making the saves when he had to. A well deserved win for this guy. It was nice to see the team play hard in front of him. When I first heard that Dany Sabourin would be the starting goaltender tonight, i wondered if Vigneault knew what he was doing. Apparently he did.

The team played great. If it wasn't Bieksa coming back from a hard hit to score the Canucks opening goal, it was Naslund singlehandedly fighting off a check on a delayed penalty call, and beating Giguere on a beautiful goal. Then it was overtime - Daniel Sedin scored to win it !!! And everyone mobbed Sabourin.

The Canucks are now 4 points clear of the Calgary flames for first in the division. An important game, a statement game. A game in which their backup goaltender got his first NHL win.
