Mattias Ohlund. What a MAN!

Damn, do you see a pattern here? Mattias Ohlund isn't known as a fighter, but if you really want to annoy Mattias, you elbow him. If you're really dumb, you go do that because Mattias Ohlund is really good at calling elbows out. Eric Cole's gonna have a really nice shiner after his bout with Ohlund last night. Adding insult to injury, as a result of not fastening his jersey tiedowns, Eric got booted from the game.

Oh, and Mattias Ohlund was fighting with a broken right finger. You could just feel the pride of every Canucks fan watching. Haha!

Ohlund's back and Luongo wants to fight

He's back! So Ohlund's back for tonight's last home game against Colorado. Pretty exciting for Colorado fans, considering if they lose this one, they'll be definitely eliminated from playoff contention. Tonight will also be the Jerseys off our backs and Canucks players awards. I wonder if it will be televised? I don't think Ohlund will get the Babe Pratt Award this year. I think it'll go to Kevin Bieksa, though I think Salo and Ohlund should share it this year. From Botchford's article:

Before Ohlund was injured, he was leading the team in minutes played, having yet another year in which he shut down the league's best forwards, but did so in his Ohlund-like way -- seemingly quietly and without much fanfare.

Throughout his Canucks career, he has been one of the team's most important but underrated players.

"Mattias is a very experienced defenceman and a great leader," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said. "He's been in our top-two pairs all year. He plays power play and PK. We're getting [back] a guy who logs a lot of minutes."

Aww.. I kinda miss hearing the AV insults from the beginning of the year.

As for Roberto wanting to fight, I was just joking. Or, rather, he was. Luongo joked that he intentionally let in a bad goal in the LA game to charge up his team. "It was either that or get in a fight," he said. To which Henrik interrupted and said, "I don't think he would have that big of a chance."

"Maybe I'll just fight [Henrik] in practice and see how that goes."

Hee hee! I can just imagine them fake glaring at each other(and Louie has that mean glare you know) and saying, "BRING IT ON!"

Those Sedins sure can be bitches

HOLY COW, what a game. I logged on to watch the ppv game online tonight and there were fights galore and plenty of angry players. I was shocked and amused at the Sedins' ability to tick off. Henrik's kicking of Giguere's right leg on a flyby 'by accident' was pretty funny. You know emotions are high when the Sedins are in the middle of things. Even the Anaheim commentators were going at each other. It was strange though, that it was a linesman, not a player, that left the game after the first period due to an injury. It was later revealed that he tore his pectoral muscle and is gonna be out 4-6 months. Surprisingly, Markus Naslund, who was interviewed at the 2nd intermission was very normal toned.. I'm curious how the interviews for the Canucks ppv went.

A Catch up posting..

Sorry for the delay in updates.. So swamped at work and catching up on the school assignments and reading. Sure, I’ve procrastinated but I can still whine, no? Canucks win over LA 3-2.

Some King checked Mattias Ohlund and together they broke glass. Boo.. apparantly he took a beating last night. But he’s a guy and guys poo poo their injuries so I’m sure he’s fine. =D Trevor Linden scored last night.. and what a beautie! Morrison is the new iron man now with having played 491 straight games. He joked, "I never go into corners. It's easy to stay healthy that way."

So Vancouver, believe it or not, is still first in the division and caught up to San Jose and Dallas. The lack of puck luck from the beginning of the season has turned its tide and the team is now enjoying the wonderous puck luck from the puck lords!

Heh heh. In other news, Buffalo and Ottawa had an... interesting night last night. I like it when the goalies fight. Brings back memories of Dan Cloutier.. the good ones. Emery had a big smile on his face too. Gotta love that.
