Ohlund is the complete package

Oh, we won again. Ho hum.

Hahaha! No, I'm not getting blase about it; I'm still ecstatic whenever we get a win. The Leafs, the Habs and now the Sens have failed to get wins at home against the Canucks.

I'm starting to have more respect for Luongo. He not only played with a banged up throat but played well enough to get a shutout in the Habs game and a win in the Senators game. Gary Valk in a Sportsnet interview called him the most durable Vancouver goalie. Chuckle. True true!

Here's some paragraphs on Ohlund from the NHL.com's preview of the Canuck defence back in September:

Ohlund, 30, is the complete package: A 6-foot-2, 220-pounder with great skating ability, strength and anticipation who has a cannon for a shot. Ohlund gained a reputation as injury-prone early in his NHL career, but that thought should be dispelled. Ohlund has missed only four games in three of his past four NHL seasons, sandwiched around his 59-game season in 2002-03. Ohlund led the Canucks last season with 25:40 minutes of average ice time, just ahead of Salo's 24:29.

Teammates, former teammates and rivals speak with great respect for Ohlund, the 13th overall pick of the 1994 draft. An eight-year veteran, Ohlund has played most of his career in Jovanovski's shadow, although he was a finalist for the Calder Memorial Trophy in his rookie season. Fans last season voted him the best Canucks' defenseman and at age 30, he's ready to take an NHL leadership role. He set an NHL career high with eight power-play goals. Ohlund has 67 goals and 178 assists for 245 points in 558 NHL games.
