FYI- The Captain played his best game of the season last night. I can honestly say that I saw flashes of the Stevie Y of old last night.

I guess when they cut your leg in half it takes a while to get going.

Sedin carries Canucks past Wings

Canadian Press
2/25/2004

VANCOUVER (CP) - Daniel Sedin scored four goals, the third breaking a tie late in the third period and the final one into an empty net, as the Vancouver Canucks stopped a three-game home-ice losing streak with a 4-2 win over the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday night.

It was the first four-goal night of Sedin's four-year NHL career. He has held a hot hand on a Canucks team badly in need of scoring, collecting nine goals in 10 games.

Sedin's third goal came with just over seven minutes left. He took a pass from brother Henrik, skated around defenceman Jiri Fischer and beat goaltender Manny Lagace with a shot over the glove side.

He then scored into an empty net with 34 seconds left in a third period where Vancouver had outshot Detroit 14-5.

The win was just the third in Vancouver's last 10 games.

Henrik Zetterberg and Kris Draper scored power-play goals for the Red Wings, who remain one point ahead of Colorado for first place in the Western Conference.

Veteran Red Wings defenceman Chris Chelios left the game in the second period with a bruised shoulder and didn't return.

Chelios, 42, was hurt when Bertuzzi fell on him after a faceoff in the Detroit end.

The 20-year veteran who has two goals and 12 assists this season, lay on the ice for several minutes in obvious pain while a trainer attended him. He left the ice clutching his shoulder and went to the dressing room.

Sedin opened the scoring at 12:33 of the first period when his one-time shot from a sharp angle slipped between Lagace's toe and the post.

Detroit used back-to-back power-play goals to regain the lead. On the first goal, Ray Whitney fired a shot that hit Brett Hull in front of the net. Zetterberg picked up the loose puck and put it past Dan Cloutier at 17:26 of the first.

Early in second period Draper fired a 40-foot shot through traffic that bounced off a player and into the net.

Sedin tied the game at 9:43. Defenceman Nolan Baumgartner had a breakaway but shot wide. Big defenceman Marek Malik went behind the net and sent the puck out to Sedin, who beat Legace.

The Canucks played with a lineup depleted by injuries to captain Markus Naslund (concussion), defenceman Ed Jovanovski (separated shoulder) and forward Magnus Arvedson (knee surgery). That meant four members of the AHL Manitoba Moose - Baumgartner, Fedor Fedorov, Tyler Bouck and Brandon Ried - were forced into service.

The Canuck homestand continues with games against San Jose on Thursday and St. Louis on Saturday.

Notes: Canucks general manager Brian Burke, who is still waiting for a new contract from team owner John McCaw, raised eyebrows Tuesday when he said in a radio interview he was a ``lame-duck GM.'' ... The Canucks recalled Reid from Manitoba to replace Matt Cooke, who sat out the last game of a two-game suspension. ... Vancouver entered Tuesday night's game with the NHL's top rated penalty kill at 86.5 per cent. ... Bertuzzi has eight power play goals. He had 25 last season

whatever........... Macarty had him & he know it.......... He was good enought not to take advantage of the situation until Allen took a wild swing then Mac had to throw a couple. MAc could have really pummeled him if he wanted to. He was in control all the way. Don't think Allen is not a gamer when it comes to a fight. He does not have many but when he does he comes to town.

Naslund skates with Canucks

Canadian Press
2/25/2004

VANCOUVER (CP) - Captain Markus Naslund skated with the Vancouver Canucks on Wednesday, the first time he's been on the ice with the team since suffering a concussion in a Feb. 16 game against Colorado.

``I feel good,'' Naslund told reporters. ``I'm happy with the way it felt the last couple of days. Hopefully I'll keep feeling like this.''

There's still no word on when Naslund, who was the NHL's leading scorer at the time of his injury, could return to action.

``I haven't really made any serious plans yet,'' he said. ``We just want to get through a full practice and see how I feel first of all. I'd like to get back as soon as possible.''

Naslund is Vancouver's leading scorer with 30 goals and 38 assists.

The Canucks beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-2 on Tuesday. Their homestand continues with games against the San Jose Sharks on Thursday and the St. Louis Blues on Saturday.

Cheers,
Aquaman

Det vs Van...

Game 1: Hatcher suffers knee injury... Out for months
Game 2: Zetterburg suffers broken leg as a result of a slash by Allen.
Game 3: Cheli goes down with a shoulder injury.

What's with you 'Nucks???


Oh yeah, a good number of Canuck fans are completely classless. It's all fun and games to boo Chelios when he gets the puck... But to jeer him as he's being helped off the ice is plain tasteless. :frown:

And Fedor wins the award for the worst interview ever. Why did he even bother to agree to it if he isn't willing to cooperate?

 

[WobbleWobble]

As a Canucks fan, I agree that it was tasteless to boo someone when they're hurt. The game was on PPV only so I didn't see it, but the radio announcers said that the Chelios injury from Bertuzzi was accidental.

If it makes you feel any better, Bertuzzi gets booed often at a growing number of rinks.

Fedor's interview did suck, it was quite funny I thought, the interviewer was noticeably perplexed.

The booing when he handles the puck... I have no problem with that. That's just good, clean fun.
But to boo someone as they are getting up from an injury is uncalled for.

WobbleWobble... Yeah, it was "accidental". But after three serious injuries in three games...

Burke comments on 'lame duck GM' remark

Canadian Press
2/25/2004

VANCOUVER (CP) - Brian Burke says he was just stating facts when he called himself a "lame duck general manager" with the Vancouver Canucks.

Burke also said not having a contract in place for next year isn't preventing him from doing his job with the NHL team.

"All I did was address something factually," Burke said Wednesday. "If people don't like that, too bad.

"If you think I'm something different, what am I? What is a GM in his last year without a new contract? He's a lame duck."

Burke's contract with the Canucks expires in June. Team ownership has said it wants to wait until the season is over to negotiate a new deal.

This has led to speculation that Burke's days in Vancouver could be numbered.

During a radio interview Tuesday, Burke was asked if his contract status has prevented him from making deals as the March 9 contract deadline nears.

"I am a lame duck GM," Burke said. "There's no sense calling this anything other than what it is."

Burke denied the situation is hindering him from making a trade.

"I don't feel that way at all," he said. "I still feel ownership is committed to putting the best team on the ice.

"Does it hurt me with other teams? You'll have to ask them."

The lame duck remark certainly created a buzz among some reporters and fans in this hockey-mad community.

Vancouver Province columnist Tony Gallagher wrote it's clear the chances of Burke returning to the Canucks "are rapidly diminishing."

"It is almost as though Burke is asking for the ownership to relieve him of his duties now so that he can get out on the open market and start shopping himself around to interested bidders," Gallagher wrote.

Stan McCammon, president and chief executive officer of Orca Bay Sports and Entertainment, the company that owns the Canucks, didn't immediately return a telephone message.

On Wednesday Burke said his contract status shouldn't be an issue.

"I am not going to let it affect my ability to run this team," he said. "I don't think it should be a focus right now.

"This was thrust into the media by ownership, not by me."

There is talk Burke's future could be tied to how well the Canucks perform in the playoffs.

"You're asking the wrong person that question," Burke said. "You should be asking someone in ownership that question.

"I'm not worried about that. All I care about right now is putting the best team on the ice March 10."

Burke was named the Canucks general manager in June 1998. Vancouver has made the playoffs the last three years but advanced to the second round only once.
