Sedin Saturday ( yes I stole this from canucks.com)

THEY SAID IT

“We have to have that same effort and commitment every night. It’s an 82 game season and there are going to be lots of ups and downs and that was a pretty big down last game [against the Flyers]. It was good to respond this way.” - Roberto Luongo on his team bouncing back on Friday against the Oilers after their humiliating defeat on Wednesday to the Flyers. (Canadian Press)

 

 

 

 

Vancouver Canucks 4

Edmonton Oilers 1

Canucks Record 3-2-0

 

 

Deja' vu :

 

Hockey Night in Canada : CBC is streaming the game online.  Not superb quality, but i can't complain.

 

The first period - Cowan and Stortini?  (sp) drop the gloves seconds after the opening faceoff. I'd say it was a draw, with Stortini, ending up on top of Cowan. ho hum first period, with a spark of excitement when Brendan Morrison scored on a feed from Markus Naslund, in the last minute of the first period. Finally the Canucks are utilizing the last minute of the period, instead of letting their opponents utilize it.

 

1-0 Canucks after 1

 

Nice work on raffi torres by mike weaver, eliminating a shot on goal..... hmmm impressive !

 

Luongo's mask is super cool!

 

Naslund has lots of jump tonight !!! his speed just drew a penalty!

 

What an awesome powerplay, the oilers weren't able to leave their zone at all.  2 minutes and 20 seconds after the penalty is called, Daniel Sedin scores. 2-0 Canucks.  What determination!

 

Daniel Sedin again beats Dwayne Roloson 3-0 Canucks - perhaps a controversial goal, it did appear that Naslund was impeding Roloson, but the on site officials didn't think so so hey i'm not complaining! :D The Broadcasters had a big discussion about this, and came to the conclusion that it was Roloson, being impeded by his own player, who tripped Naslund. So it was a good call by the officials.

Mike Weaver seems to be having a pretty decent game so far.

Jeff Cowan apparently suffered a leg injury in his fight in the first period. Has not returned to the game.

 

3-0 Canucks after 2

 

Chants of "OILERS SUCK" going around the arena. I can't help but laugh when I hear that.

 

Canucks get a 5 on 3 power play  - nothing comes of that.

 

another canucks goal. a gift wrapped rebound from a sedin shot.  Taylor Pyatt, makes it 4-0 Canucks

 

a little roughing ensues, Two Canucks in the box, Kesler and Burrows. Sheldon Souray, got two, five, and a ten minute misconduct. Buhbye Sheldon...........The Oilers have a power play.  LOOOOOOOOOOOOOO  !!!!  Making some saves, being the Luongo we remember from last year.  Canucks kill it off.  Just under 10 minutes to go.

 

Oilers called for a penalty on Pitkanen,  Canucks head to the power play.

and...... The oilers score shorthanded.  Morrison lost the puck, cogliano scores on the rebound.  Goodbye Shutout :(  I was thinking 'shutout' too early I suppose.

Power play over, the only team to score on the Canucks powerplay, was the oilers.  <sigh>

Edmonton's coming on now - Luongo has to be sharp.

4:30 minutes to go.

and Ohlund takes a penalty. well, the oiler player stepped on his stick and tripped.  Oilers on the powerplay, for the 5th time. they are 0-4 so far tonight.

3:00 minutes to go.

The Canucks kill the penalty.

1:00 minute to go

The Canucks win 4-1 and sweep the Oilers in their Home at Home series.

Two goals for DANIEL SEDIN, three assists for HENRIK SEDIN, two assists for Naslund.  And  goals by Brendan Morrison and Taylor Pyatt rounded out the scoring.

Too bad Luongo lost his shutout.

i'm out - 430 comes awfully early.........

GO CANUCKS
