Vancouvers play as of late.

Vancouvers play started against St Louis on friday. What should have been a cake walk turned in to a 10 goal rather boring and frustrating game to watch. Vancouver seemed like they thought they could win the game no matter what happened and they played that way. Lawernce Nycolat got the call to play in replacement of Rob Davidson which always suprizes me. Nycolat had a quiet game and managed to give the puck away several time and one give-a-way which he threw the puck up the center of the ice leading to a goal for St. Louis. Vancouver gave the puck away again and again and had trouble getting out of there own zone and gaining the offensive zone. I kept waiting and wondering when the Canucks would wake up, they didn't. After either a couple horrible calls by the refs or some stupid penalties Vancouver ended up losing 6-4 to the worst team in the West. Tonight against San Jose, Vancouver came out way stronger getting all the chances. Yet they still found themselfs down one to the best team in the NHL right now. However with less than a minute to play Mats Sundin got his long awaited first goal and point as a Canuck. This brought the crowd to their feet. As Alain Vighneut said before, "We have 3 weeks of pre-season training at the begining of the season and that is to get us in game shape. Well Mats has only been with us for about a week so we don't expect him to be in full game shape for another couple weeks." I agree with Vighneut because Sundin if you have not noticed is a very big man and i am sure there is some pound he has not got rid of yet. You can see it when he skates he looks slow almost drowzy. But we can slowly start expecting to get more and more good play from him. Anyways Vancouver played fairly good getting unlucky on a puck that seemed to stick to the goal line and a couple quick rebound shots by Sundin that where saved. And San Jose seemed to be nothing but lucky with one goal defleted in off a skate and one goal that sandford should have saved. Late in the thrid San Jose got another lucky bounce off a skate and then added some insurance and won 4-2.
