back to tie it in the 2nd. Tampa Bay and Vancouver each scored again in
the 3rd sending it to Overtime. Ed Jovanovski thought he scored in Overtime as the
Referee blew a quick whistle and called off the Goal. Then with 21
seconds left in Overtime, Markus Naslund scored with assists by Sami Salo and

giving Vancouver the Win. A solid team effort with honourable mentions

the 2nd 3rd Period: NO Scoring FINAL: Anaheim 2 - Vancouver 1 Shots
on Goal: Anaheim 31 - Vancouver 25
There were several giveaways by the Ducks tonight but
they wound up outshooting the Canucks by a few shots. A wonderful goal by
Henrik Sedin who made it look easy. Then a strange goal by Todd Simpson at a bad
angle from a distance at the goal line seemed to rattle Vancouver.
Vaclav
Prospal scoring later in the 2nd Period put Anaheim ahead 2-1. Daniel
Sedin was streaking to the net trailed by Ed Jovanovski when Vitaly Vishnevski
sent Daniel Sedin falling to the ice. A penalty shot was then called with
the chance for the Canucks to tie the game, but Daniel Sedin was stopped by Goalie
Giguere. There was no scoring in the 3rd Period and the 2-1 lead was
enough to give Anaheim the win.

Brandon Reid) 3:43 of
the 3rd FINAL: San Jose 3 - Vancouver 1 Shots on Goal: Vancouver 35 -
San Jose 30
Vancouver had no shots on goal in the first ten
minutes of the game but had plenty of good shots afterwards. Alex Korolyuk put the puck in the net on a wrap-around as
Dan Cloutier wriggled the net off its supports, putting the goal under video
review but officials ruling it was a San Jose goal. The second San Jose
goal was scored by Jonathan Cheechoo after a bouncing puck went over Marek Malik's stick as
he tried to defend. There was no scoring in the 2nd Period. Henrik Sedin had four whacks at the puck close in to the net but the puck stayed
out. Mike Rathje was holding Todd Bertuzzi's stick, knocking Bertuzzi down with no
penalty call on Rathje. Bertuzzi then used his own stick to hit the ice
after the non-call and received an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for it.
In the 3rd Period: 19 seconds after a San Jose goal, Vancouver was able to beat
Goalie Evjeni Nabokov on a shot by Markus Naslund with assists by Jason King and
Brandon Reid. In the
last couple of minutes of the game Vancouver pulls Goalie Cloutier but are
unable to score with the extra attacker. A good effort against a hot
goalie, a good team and a few bad bounces.

A solid team effort on defence for the Canucks
tonight. Markus Naslund did well, scoring twice and assisting on
Ed Jovanovski's
goal as Todd Bertuzzi screened the net in the 1st Period. Dan Cloutier and
Mike Sillinger got penalties for roughing in the 2nd Period. Then shortly after,
Brent Sopel
tripped Shane Doan and got a penalty for it giving Phoenix a 4 on 3 powerplay. Phoenix had no shots on goal during
the 4 on 3 powerplay. In the last minute of play in the 2nd Period,
Jarkko Ruutu
was hooked on a breakaway with no call by the officials. At the end of the
2nd Period, Brad Ference got into a fight with Tyler Bouck, who was called up to
play for the Vancouver team tonight. Neither team managed to score in the 2nd Period.
At the beginning of the 3rd Period, Chris Gratton got a roughing penalty giving
Vancouver a 4 on 3 powerplay. Daniel Sedin was able to capitalize, scoring a
powerplay goal assisted by brother Henrik Sedin and Brent Sopel. Phoenix managed to
score one by Brian Savage, which went off Mattias Ohlund's foot and past Dan Cloutier into the
net. In the
last minute of play, Phoenix pulled their Goalie Brian Boucher for the extra
attacker and Naslund scored an empty net goal giving Vancouver the 4-1
win.
The Canucks set a new club record tonight tonight winning eight
straight road games.

Vancouver 29
A giveaway in the 1st Period and a penalty in the 2nd allowed
Valeri Bure to score twice and
the Canucks found themselves behind 2-0 going into the 3rd. The
Canucks tied the game sending it into overtime but found themselves in
trouble again after Henrik Sedin's stick was lifted
by Florida and he
received a high sticking penalty. They managed to kill the penalty and
with 12.6 seconds left in overtime,
Mattias
Ohlund beat Goalie Steve Shields hitting the crossbar. The game ended in a 2-2
draw.

Some outstanding saves by Cloutier kept the Canucks in
the game along with their strong offensive effort and an empty-net goal
late in the 3rd by Naslund. It could have easily
been a higher scoring game for both teams.

win. |
