Wild 3
Shootout Win
* Wow, what can i say beyond that. As much as I wanted a Canucks win tonight, I wasn't letting myself count on it too much. I love it when they win, when i dont expect them too.
* Minnesota scored first, Sami Salo evened the score. Minnesota took the lead again. Jeff Cowan scored to tie it up, and scored again to take the lead. Late in the 3rd, Bieksa took a penalty, and the Wild scored to tie it up and get at least a point out of this one. Overtime came and went, and then the SHOOTOUT - which went something like this :
Smolinski - SCORES Demitra - SCORESMorrison - misses Nummellin - SAVE *Naslund - misses Koivu - SAVELinden - SCORES Rolston - SCORES
Pyatt - misses Gaborik - misses
D. Sedin - SCORES Bouchard - SAVE
* Luongo 1st ever goaltender to stop Nummellin in the shootout
* Canucks win shootout 3-2 in 6 rounds, and win the game 4-3
* I can't make up my mind about the shootout. Do I like them, do I hate them? I know i hate losing in a shootout !!!! it leaves you with such an empty feeling. Much more of an empty feeling than just an out right loss. Winning in a shootout - well thats awesome !!!!
* Jan Bulis had a good game !
* Once again Jeff Cowan had a noteworthy game? Who is this guy and where did he come from? Is he just a fly by nighter, or is he the real thing?? Thats two games in a row that he made an impact !!!
*Roberto Luongo apparently suffering from the flu, or flu like systems but still manages to win the shootout and the game. Although he did have a few issues with controlling his rebounds. A couple of the Wild goals were direct results of mishandled rebounds. From what Team 1040 said anyway.
* Canucks remain 1st in the division, and 3rd in the conference. 2 points clear of Calgary and Minnesota, with a game in hand on the Wild.
* Will the Canucks ever play a full 60 minutes? or do they just like to keep it interesting for us?
* Once again, another powerplay goal is allowed? should we be worried about their penalty
killing? I think thats 7 games in a row the Canucks have allowed at least one powerplay goal.
* An important divisional game, bottom line Canucks win. Next up - Tampa Bay.
