4-1 Canucks v. Avalanche

Boy, things have been busy! I managed to do an update to the Mattias Ohlund Appreciation Page (the first one in months). Prepping for a friend's wedding takes a lot of time and work. Thank goodness it'll be over with next week.

As for the Canucks, that last game against the Avs was a bit disconcerting. After the 1st period, it looked like we might end up losing to the last team in the Western conference (not that that would be a surprising occurance) but after the Canucks' second goal, it looked like the Avs wilted. 4-1 Canucks = 5th in the Western Conference still.

I almost missed this quote from Iain's article on Daniel Sedin getting stitched up and heading back out after a high stick took out a tooth:

"It's not easy to get a stick in the mouth and then come right back out and score a goal by going to the front of the net, sacrificing yourself," Luongo, the Canuck captain said. "He's the toughest Swede in the league."

We though that honour belonged to Canuck defenceman Mattias Ohlund.

"It did," Luongo said. "But he lost his title."

"I never had it," Ohlund said, "but I'll give it to Daniel on that one."

And here's another Ohlund article on nhl.com
