Yeah, no kidding. Sounds like a typical Wild game though. We're pressuring and shooting and they're sitting back on their asses with 4 guys in front of the net.

What an OT

At least we get a point

A lot of no calls on Bert........ he was getting hammered all over.

Burke should write a letter to the league. He can get slashed and grabbed all over the ice, but if he touches a defender in front of the net he gets called. THAT'S the reason why the Canucks' powerplay isn't as good this year, and why the big line seems a bit off. Bertuzzi isn't allowed to be Bertuzzi.

Linden pulls Canucks even with Wild

Canadian Press
12/7/2003

VANCOUVER (CP) - The Vancouver Canucks showed plenty of patience Saturday night but almost ran out of time before Trevor Linden gave them a 1-1 tie with the Minnesota Wild.

"It was one of those nights," said Linden, whose seventh goal of the season came with only 2:58 remaining. "It was kind of a test of your patience.

"But we did a lot of good things early in the game. We tried to establish a forecheck but they got the first goal which is big against these guys."

Christoph Brandner, who returned to the Wild lineup after missing two games with the flu, gave Minnesota a 1-0 lead with his club's first shot on goal.

But Linden finally solved the hot goaltending of Dwayne Roloson, who sparkled in a 33-save effort.

Mattias Ohlund's centring pass deflected across the crease off teammate Magnus Arvedson. Linden missed the puck with his first swipe but spun around to put it in the net off Roloson's leg.

"I couldn't get my stick on it when it went past me the first time but I managed to get it the second time," said Linden, the only Canucks player to score in a lacklustre 4-1 loss to the Calgary Flames on Thursday night.

"We just had to stay with it, as frustrating as it was at times. It didn't seem too much was going our way and Roloson was playing really well."

The Canucks had a 9-0 edge in shots on goal when Brandner beat Vancouver netminder Johan Hedberg at 6:57 of the first period.

Wes Walz dodged Brendan Morrison's check behind the Vancouver net and fed Brandner, who had got past Canuck defender Bryan Allen.

"It was like every other game against them," said Bertuzzi, whose club lost a seven-game second-round playoff series to the Wild last spring. "You have to grind out the 60 (minutes) and we were fortunate enough to get a goal by Trevor.

"But credit to us, we worked hard and stayed with our game plan. They don't give a lot but you have to stay patient, not get under each other's skin and just realize it has to be this way or you won't be successful."

The Wild have only one win and two ties in their last eight games while the Canucks have two wins and two ties in their last seven outings.

However, Saturday's tie lifted Vancouver into sole possession of first place in the Western Conference, one point ahead of the Detroit Red Wings who lost 5-2 in Toronto.

It was the sixth straight game that the Wild's offence had produced only one goal for a netminder to work with.

"You try not to worry about it," said Roloson, who blanked the Canucks 1-0 on Nov. 11. "I've got to worry about stopping the puck. If I worry about other things, they end up scoring on me."

Roloson said his club was expecting a tough opening period against the Canucks after Vancouver's effort against Calgary.

"We just tried to weather the storm and do whatever it takes to get by the first five or six minutes. Chistoph got us a great goal, we were able to relax a little bit and go on from there."

Wild coach Jacques Lemaire praised his club's effort after a 2-1 loss Friday to Calgary.

"We knew if we played like that tonight we had no chance to get any points," Lemaire said.

It was also Minnesota's first point in five tries in back-to-back games this season.

Notes: With top scorer Markus Naslund out with a groin injury, Arvedson played with Morrison and Bertuzzi ... Naslund had played 199 consecutive games before leaving after the second period in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Calgary Flames ... The game had two of the league's top three ironmen as the second-ranked Morrison played in his 293rd consecutive game and Laaksonen of the Wild played his 278th ... Canucks GM Brian Burke says the club has applied to the NHL to play host to the 2006 or 2007 entry draft ... The last time the draft was held here was in 1990 and it drew a crowd of 32,000 at B.C. Place Stadium ... Vancouver continue its five-game homestand Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Cheers,
Aquaman

I think the whole teams been told to play "nice"

Salo got ROCKED in the second,you see him on the bench? That one hurt,but not one Canuck stepped up and went out to even the score.
It's like their not allowed to hit.It was a good game though.
Just wish Ried was brought up,he adds alot of jump to the team.
Heard Cliff Ronning is hanging around the "seven rinks",looking for a team to sign him.

Ronning would be a good addition. Now all they need is Geoff Courtnall and they'd have the '94 1st line back.

Canucks host lowly Penguins

The Sports Network
12/9/2003

(Sports Network) - The lowly Pittsburgh Penguins attempt to put the brakes on a three-game losing streak tonight, as they head into GM Place to battle the Vancouver Canucks.

Pittsburgh continued its season-long struggle on Sunday night in Calgary with a 6-1 thrashing by the surging Flames. It was the Penguins' fifth- straight road loss.

Calgary's Shean Donovan notched his second career hat trick and added an assist to lead the Flames. Calgary dominated play from the outset, firing 22 shots on goal in the first period en route to a 3-1 advantage after 20 minutes.

Milan Kraft tallied the lone goal for Pittsburgh, while Sebastien Caron stopped 37-of-43 shots.

It was announced on Sunday that Pittsburgh goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, the first overall pick in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft and lone bright spot this season for the Penguins, will be joining the Canadian National Team for the 2004 World Junior Championships. The tournament will take place between December 26 and January 5 in Finland. Fleury is expected to start tonight before heading to the Team Canada training camp in Kitchener, Ontario.

The Penguins have an NHL-low 17 points this season. The team is just 2-10-1-1 on the road and ends a five-game trip in Atlanta on Friday night.

Trevor Linden's goal late in the third period lifted the Canucks to a 1-1 tie against the Minnesota Wild at GM Place on Saturday night. Former Penguin Johan Hedberg stopped 16 shots for Vancouver, which has registered ties in two of its last three games (0-1-2).

The Canucks, who are an impressive 9-2-2 at home this year, have 34 points and trail Colorado by two for first place in the Northwest Division. Vancouver welcomes the Avalanche to GM Place on Thursday night in the fourth test of a five-game homestand.

Vancouver has taken the last three meetings with the Penguins. However, Pittsburgh has lost just twice in the previous nine matchups (6-2-1) in British Columbia.

Aquaman

Haha, anyone see Crawford announcing that Clouts has a pulled groin? Struck me as funny, almost like he was hiding something about it. Or something, he seemed to be holding back laughter. I dunno, I'm just rambling......

Heh, with the injury to Clouts they had to bring up a guy as backup to Hedberg. Levesque. He was studying for his exam at UBC in the library when he got the call to play Apparently he has an exam tomorrow morning. Shouldn't be a problem as he's an arts major

Canucks are sucking it up major right now. Their powerplay is horrible. They should give the mattress line some more time on it.
