322 points for Mattias Ohlund!

Awww.. so little Ohlie (Viktor, not Alex Edler) apparently keeps tabs on his dad's stats and knew about Mattias' imminent record of all-time points by a Canucks defenseman.

I knew by the way the camera kept panning to Ohlund that he'd taken the record last night and strained my ears to hear his interview but I must've missed the part about his son.

Aside: The crowd at GM place gave Ohlund a standing ovation. Awwwwwwww..

From Eliott Pap:

VANCOUVER — Mattias Ohlund had more than just the media observing his pursuit of the Vancouver Canucks’ franchise record for points by a defenceman. He was getting constant reminders from a member of his immediate family as well.

“My son is a real stats boy,” Ohlund said Sunday after his third-period assist — and 322nd Canuck point — pushed him past Jyrki Lumme and Dennis Kearns for the all-time lead. “He knows the stats better than I do. He reads the paper and was talking about it at home.”

Ohlund, 32, has been a Canuck his entire career. He was drafted in the first round in 1994, less than two weeks after Vancouver’s improbable march to the Stanley Cup final. It took him almost 11 seasons and 756 games to surpass Lumme and Kearns, who co-held the mark.

“Obviously it means I’ve played a lot of games, that’s what it means,” said the modest Swede with a smile. “At this time of year, it’s not something you think about too much. It’s just fun being a part of this group right now with the way we are playing.”

Ohlund’s record-setting point came on Vancouver’s fourth goal — a power-play tally by Alex Edler — and put away the pesky Colorado Avalanche 4-2. Ohlund finally admitted, after some prodding, that he was proud to claim a second team record. He also holds the mark for most goals by a Canuck defenceman (92).

“When you think about it, it is something nice to have, I guess,” he said.

Ohlund will have to go some to collect the record for most assists by a blueliner, held by Kearns at 290. He trails the latter by 59 and, with his contract up, likely won’t get the seasons needed to take a serious run at it.
