Sundin's Debut With Vancouver

Mats Sundin played his first game as a Vancouver Canuck on wednesday against the oilers. He started out with very short shift between 15-30 seconds. He also looked fairly slow and not up to game speed yet. As the game went on Sundin played better tho and seemed to be moving a bit quicker. He had a few chances were he took a little to long to take shots and the puck got blocked. But we can not expect him to be completely ready and up to the game pace yet. He finished the game with 15 minutes of ice time and 24 shifts. I would think that the next game he will possibaly have 20 minutes of ice time but we don't want him runnign out of energy. In about 5 to 8 games we can expect to see and Sundin who will look more like his old self. Anouther big right winger stepped up for the Canucks however, Steve Bernier had an assist and 2 goal that were 12 seconds apart. Edmonton did well in shuting down our top 2 lines but the 3rd line stepped up in a big way earning 8 points in total between the 3 of them. Steve Bernier, Ryan Kesler, And Alex Burrows was the 3rd line. Jason LaBarbera got the start again with Curtis Sanford as back up. LaBarbera played very good and came out on top with the 4-2 victory, Which leads to the question. Once Roberto Luongo is back what will the Canucks staff deside to do with the 2 back up goalies. Curtis Standford and Jason LaBarbera have been excellent when coming into goal. I honestly do not no what will happen with these 2 and i can not make my mind up which one will stay up, because they are both excellent back ups.
