Mainly Mattias Ohlund

So torn... we WON but we've lost Ohlund! ..and likely Miller

What a goal filled 1st period! 44 shots on goal combined on Ellis and Mason and 6 goals for the night for the Vancouver Canucks. The fighting and instigating majors and misconducts with a minute left in play were interesting.. The hit on Aaron Miller looked really bad though. I think the shoulder will take him out of the lineup again. Here's a photo of Bieksa wanting to get into the fray again..

On Ohlund.... When Scott Rintoul said that Ohlund had bone chips in his knee and may be out for 4-6 days or for the season, my stomach sank.

Snippet from Jason Botchford's article:
"It [only] impacted me the last two minutes of the last game when I felt sore," Ohlund said. "I have been feeling more sore after the games but when I've been playing I've felt 100 per cent, except the last few minutes of the last game.

"It's mostly rest and we'll see how it goes ... I felt pretty good [Thursday], a lot better than I felt [Wednesday]. Hopefully that's a good sign."

The Canucks will wait four to six days for the swelling to go down and the pain to subside before making a decision on a possible knee scope.

"Nobody knows the exact time frame [if I have it scoped]," Ohlund said. "But if I have it done, obviously I hope to be back playing at the end of the regular season or the playoffs.

"We're not sure how good the chances are."

  • Were you at the game? I love that picture of Bieksa and his LOOK. It's so intense! I'm really hoping that Miller and Ohlie come back soon. Have we even had a healthy blueline for more than three games in a row this season?

  • Yeah, it was a great game to be at! My voice was so hoarse afterwards. Bieksa was really raring to go some more. Too bad I couldn't get a better photo!

    I did get a program that had the same interview that you were talking about. I'll post it once I have a moment. :) Did you see the photos taken for the Dice & Ice that were in the program? I'm wanting to post the photo for Agent 002 but can't find it electronically.

  • I was watching on tv wishing I was there!

    I tried to hook up my scanner but it wouldn't work so I have to find the disc that goes with it. I LOVED the photos in there. I *really* want the Agent 002 one. I haven't seen it anywhere though. It *must* be somewhere! I'll go searching later.
