Islanders 2 Canucks 3 (SO)


I couldn't decide after the game if the Canucks played good, played great or were just plain lucky. They outshot the Islanders 45-28 - including 19-7 in the first period - but were only able to get the puck past Islander4L, Rick DiPietro, only a couple of times. They seemed to outplay the Islanders for large spurts of the game, but actually had to come from behind in the third period before Alex Edler won it in the shootout. Ben Kuzma's headline in today's Vancouver Province pretty much summed it all up: Canucks win a weird one.

It really was weird.

One thing I was paying attention to last night was how Markus Naslund would do without the Sedins. Playing on a line with Jason Jaffray and Taylor Pyatt, he did alright. He had six shots on goal, tying his season-high, and scored his 14th goal of the season, which puts him slightly ahead of last year's pace. He even did a little fist pump after he scored, a rare show of emotion for him. Maybe it was because it was his first goal after seven games wihtout one or maybe Jaffray's rubbing off on him a bit. Regardless, it was nice to see.

Taylor Pyatt also looked good. We all know he doesn't use his size often enough, but last night, he was tough on his skates. The Islanders couldn't knock him down and he was frequently able to get the puck to the net. A couple of times, he even used the Bertuzzi-like, one-arm move on the way to DiPietro's door step. I'm sure Naslund appreciated the extra room Pyatt's play created and I really hope he can do this game in and game out.

Weird game is right! It was one of those nights where the team looks great, is doing all the small things right, but for whatever reason stuff ends up going wrong. Given the star-crossed spirit of the game, the win was an astounding accomplishment!

The good: The never-say-die hussle and jump in the Canucks. Cooke and Pyatt especially.

The bad: Luongo's puck handling...but I'm not going to hold that against him. At this point he could have 10 bad games and he still would be way ahead on the scale.

The ugly: Naslund on the shoot-out. What that a scoring attempt or a bored, contemplative skate on an isolated Swedish lake?

Don't give Cooke too much credit. He missed a complete WIDE OPEN NET!! Hands of stone on that damned turkey.

I still don't get why Luongo doesn't work on his puck-handling skills over the summer. He'd be a great 3rd defenceman back there. But every time he goes behind his net now, my hair stands on end!
