Ryan Johnson and Jannik Hansen back in the saddle again

Woo hoo! I'm glad Johnson's well enough to come back into the lineup. Apparently he's still in a lot of pain with his finger but he's no stranger to playing with pain.

And Hansen's coming back from the Moose while Bolduc's heading down. I likey!

Oh, and it was some new guy's first game as a Canuck - uhh Mat, Mats Sedin, Sundin? hahaha! What a non-news event. But eveyone sure took a lot of pictures, eh?

Here's a snippet from Brad Zeimer's piece in The Vancouver Sun.

IN THIS CORNER: Canuck enforcer Hordichuk smiled Thursday when asked if he might be giving defenceman Mattias Ohlund a few pointers about dropping the gloves.

Ohlund was challenged by Oiler counterpart Sheldon Souray in Wednesday’s 4-2 Vancouver win after the Canuck crushed Erik Cole with a huge hit along the boards.

Souray promptly dropped Ohlund with a devastating right hand.

“You know what” said Hordichuk. “Mattias is the last guy I’ll be giving tips to. He’s held his own this year. I think it was just unfortunate that Souray’s hand came out of the jersey and he wasn’t expecting that.

“I went to Souray right after that and he chirped me back a little bit. He told me if I wanted to fight, we could drop them in the middle of the ice but it never ended up happening.”

I thought that Ohlie wasn't supposed to fight with taped fingers but I guess the tape had come off already..
