CANUCKS 4, WILD 3
Normally I would be really excited about a Vancouver win, and I am kinda excited, but only to an extent. Why? The Canucks led this game by a score of 4-0 at one point. At 14:54 of the 2nd period, Cloutier gave up the first goal Wild goal to Pascal Dupuis, which I figure he would do because it doesn't seem like he's the type to get shutouts. So just one goal, I'd figure he'd shut the Wild down the rest of the game. Ho hum. But I never learn. A mere 48 seconds later, Marian Gaborik put one through when Cloutier fanned at the puck and failed to clear it. Great job, Danny. In a weird turn of events, he somehow got the third star (Bertuzzi 1, heartless gutless bastard Daigle 2) but it was horribly apparent that the 2nd Wild goal was the turning point in the game for the Wild, who were given a big boost of confidence and nearly took the game back later in the 3rd period.
Canucks scoring goals tonight (all occurring before the Dupuis goal): Todd Bertuzzi twice (had a couple chances at the hat trick), Jason King (8th of the year for the rookie), and Matt Cooke.
Points for the two top lines...
Bertuzzi (2 G)/Morrison (zip)/Naslund (1 A) = 3 points
H Sedin (1 A)/King (1 G)/D Sedin (1 A) = 3 points
The Cooke goal was scored by the fourth line, and sadly, I don't know who the 4th line is and I can't tell from the CBC depth chart. I'm a newbie.
That said, Artem Chubarov snapped a 5-game pointless streak with an assist on the Cooke goal, and Cooke snapped a 4-game pointless streak with his goal. Also, Jason King has a 4-game goal streak, and has 5 goals in those 4 games.
