Our poor, poor blue line!

So Willie Mitchell has fractured vertebrae, Salo's got a problem groin and Krajicek's shoulder is on the mend. So who's left on the blue line? Edler, Miller, Ohlund, Weaver... :| Geez, and look at their minutes from last night. 24, 18, 30, 12 respectively. Salo put in his 22 despite the groin.

Quote from Brent Buttt from Corner Gas (during cameo appearance on Canucks radio) right after Ohlund scores: “I guess it turns out Ohlund is a better NHL defenceman than I am. So you can stop arguing, everybody.”

Quotes from Mattias Ohlund:

"We thought we got away from our identity.. We're not going to be the highest-scoring team in the league... If we try to press too hard to create offence we are going to sacrifice our defence. I don't think that's the way we should play. Hopefully we can turn that around and start playing better defence and then we will be fine."

"To be honest, when you play 82 games, not every night do you have that energy that you need... You do get a big boost when instead of playing in front of seven thousand people you are playing in front of nearly 19,000 very passionate fans. That makes a big difference." from Brad Ziemer's article
