So what do the Canucks need to do against the angry Bolts? I almost hate saying what I think they should do. This is why I'll keep it simple and use the stats...
1. The Lightning are lousy 5 on 5 yet terrific on the power play. So try beat these guys at even strength and don't take too many penalties. Tampa is also excellent on the PK, enforcing my 5 on 5 point even more.
2. Tampa can score a lot of goals per game but have given up the most goals against in the league. Hello shitty D and half assed goaltending!
3. Tampa gets a lot of shots on net but doesn't allow many against.
To give you examples of anomalies, the win over the Ducks was the first time this season that the Canucks won a game when trailing after 2 periods. Vancouver took 14:00 worth of minor penalties against the Ducks. Anaheim scored 2 goals in their 7 PP chances. That in itself was more PP goals against than the Canucks have given up this season in a game on average.
Bottom line is anything can happen.
SEEN STAMKOS?
21 goals and 40 points in 28 games this season. Somebody shadow this little bugger. That being said, Super Steve had not registered a point in 3 straight games until last night against the Oilers.
LIGHTNING INJURY NEWS / WHO'S HOT OR NOT (LIGHTNING)
-Vincent Lecavalier will miss at least another 2 weeks after undergoing knuckle surgery.
-We won't be seeing that pain in the ass named Steve Downie either. He is out indefinitely with a high ankle sprain.
-Simon Gagne, who I would never take on my team because of his proneness to injury, has 2 goals and 3 assists in his last 5 games.
-Martin St. Louis has been streaky lately, but still has 3 goals and 3 assists in his last 5 games.
-Mattias Ohlund has played 20 games this season, has 3 assists, 10 shots on goal and is a -8, and less icetime on average. I think we may have gotten the best out of the 34 year-old Ohlund while he was here. Either way, keep your head up, Canucks. Ohlie can still murder people, right Kessel? Right Zetterberg? You know, I miss Ohlund from time to time. I miss that mean streak he had.
AS FOR THE CANUCKS
-No Raymond or Ehrhoff. Sucks losing Raymond. Ehrhoff? Well he has not been so impressive over the past few weeks. I can't pull out stats to prove it because there are no stats for being a bonehead in general. Here we bagged on Kevin Bieksa for all those weeks yet Ehrhoff, in a contract year no less, has been insignificant defensively a lot of times. He has 14 points and a +6 in 26 games this season, which looks impressive on paper and of course is a pro, but the visual tends to be disturbing. Personally, I welcome this opportunity for the Canucks to have less pinching D-men on their roster and pay more attention to that position. Andrew Alberts draws back in after missing time with illness.
-I hope Samulesson plays. It's just a matter of time before he goes on a goal-scoring streak. He has 4 goals and 9 points in his last 11 games
-Ryan Kesler has 7 goals and 5 assists in his last 12.
-Mason Raymond had 4 goals and 10 points in his last 11 games. Somebody else needs to replace that huge void.
MISC
-Cory Schneider finally gets a start for the Canucks. I really hope they tighten up defensively in front of Red.
-Since January 2004, the Lightning have only played at Rogers Arena THREE TIMES. The Canucks have won all 3. So there is some intriguing history there. The Canucks are 3-2 in their last 5 games against the Bolts, meaning they have not won a game at St. Pete's Times Forum in 6 years. So...we own them at our rink. Keep it up!

Another Naslund Tribute:
MY FAVE NASLUND MOMENT
When he told the Canucks faithful at GM Place "We choked."
after a 3-0 loss to the Kings in the final game of the regular season. Naslund not only lost the scoring race title to Peter Forsberg, but the team lost the 1st place race with the Avalanche..all in one night! The Canucks would erase a 3-1 series deficit to defeat the Blues in round 1 only to blow a 3-1 series lead to the Wild in Round 2. Frustrating as hell that was. But still, Naslund had 5 goals and 14 points in 14 playoff games that playoffs. AND...he had a microphone in his hand and had the balls to tell the people at GM Place and the 1000's watching at home that the team choked. An honest and bold move by the captain. I can appreciate that.
What is your favorite Naslund moment? Canucks Hockey Blog posted some answers from Canucks bloggers a few days ago (including Mr. Yankee Canuck) which I recommend you check out. So let's hear your fave Nazzy moment, beyond your score prediction.

Fav Nazzy moment? That’s a tough one….but in the end still probably the assist to Cooke against the Flames in the playoffs to bring Game 7 to overtime.
The Bolt anger is hollow and lifeless. Who really cares if Omark was flashy? I honestly don’t get the angst.
After watching #19 hit the rafters, the Twins will be stoked. The injuries won’t be enough to deflate a still deep team that wins one for Nazzy.
Ginger misses the damn goosegg again. Just.
5-1 Canucks. Daniel FTW.

I completely agree with the whole “Omark was disrespectful” stuff. Who cares? Would that move still have been “disrespectful” had Ellis stopped that shot? Nope. People need to get over it; it’s a total non-issue.

Yep. Just don’t get it. You do not see that spin o rama much, but maybe you should. Like someone else mentioned on the telecast, it hid the puck, and affected the goalie’s timing.
The shot was what I loved though. Opened him up, and slid it in. Pretty sly move.

Well, that wasn’t hard to do with Ellis. He was completely not prepared for the shootout mentally. Frankly, I’m not even sure why he’s starting tonight. Tho, Smith isn’t much better overall.
Really, it’s the entire defense that sucks, but that’s a whole ’nother issue altogether.

What the hell are the Bolts complaining about? Grow a collective pair.
Hey, Ohlund, you know what’s really “absolutely” disrespectful? BREAKING AN OPPONENT’S ANKLE WITH A TWO-HANDED SLASH TO THE UNPROTECTED BACK OF HIS LEG, you overrated pile of shit.
I am considering flagging this
for the simple reason it is flat out wrong.

Since interpreting a deliberate and vicious slash as a disrespectful move is more or less an unimpeachable stance, I’m going to assume you disagree with my assessment of Ohlund as a hockey player. In which case, fair enough.

Son of Sam wakes up another streak ftw.
Chuck Norris has counted to infinity... twice.
Sean Z, regarding Andrew Alberts: "And of course credit goes to Alain Vigneault for sticking with this guy. When most of us wanted his nuts stapled to the bench."
I shared my favorite Naz thoughts with CHB, but I’ll copy here:
My favorite Naslund moment is like asking which ice girl do I like staring at the most: there’s too many to chose from. So the simplest would be the last game of the 1996 campaign when Naslund – who was pointless in just a handful of games for the Canucks – notched his first hat trick in the final game of the season. That win over the Flames pushed the Canucks into the playoffs just as the season ended. At the time I was getting ready for high school graduation and one final summer before college. The internet was just becoming a household tool, so entrenched in New York I still relied on small blurbs in the very back of the newspaper to keep me informed. But I remember thinking "hey we got this young Swedish guy…cool."
Of course I didn’t know that the Canucks would lose in the first round to Colorado. I didn’t know it would be their final time in the post season for all four years I was in college. I didn’t know Mark Messier and Mike Keenan would make Vancouver abysmal. At the same time, I didn’t know that young Swedish guy would go on to score the most goals and points of any player in franchise history. He’d be the engine behind the West Coast Express and one of the longest serving captains too. Through it all he had a certain grace: this quiet, humble guy who could skate so fast, cut in near the top of the circle, kick the leg and fire off a wrister that fooled countless poor netminders.
So, in honor of #19, all Swedes score and, with VAN up 5-4 in the dying seconds, Tampa pulls Ellis and Ginger Jesus gets an empty netter for a 6-4. Afterwords free meatballs for everyone. Huzzah!

Yes indeed that 96 season was a not-so-good turning point. Was at one of those 1st round games against the Avs and the thing I remember most was just as we sat down a kid nearby held up a homemade cardboard sign that read
C olorado
B lows
C hunks
within about 2 minutes an Orca Bay staffer showed up with security and took it away from him..everyone just started booing and swearing at the security guys..pretty funny.
Favorite Nazzy moment? For me without a doubt it was the penalty shot against Cujo. I was lucky enough to see that in person and when everyone realized how badly Naslund had beaten Joseph, and how insanely easy he made it look, there was a split second of silence while everyone turned to their friends with the “holy fuck did you just see what I saw” look on their faces …then ear-splitting, complete pandemonium.

That’s an awesome sign. Too bad people took it away. I had that happen to me last year when I was at the Queen’s-Laval Vanier Cup semi-final game (best sporting event I’ve been to, by the way!) – I had a foam middle finger that I was waving around at the bleachers on the other side (where the laval fans were sitting), until a security person told me I had to “put it away because there were children on the other side”. Everyone around me just turned and were like, “the hell?”.

I haven’t been doing so well either, spriteofice. Lots of negative things happening around me. People going through hell. I’m bracing for the impact of having a child and I’m scared! Yes I am! I’m afraid of growing up and the changes that are about to happen. It’s a transitional phase for me. I’m going to work off some steam on skiis today.
Whatever your problem is I hope you work your way through it in the best way possible.

Becoming a parent is scary Sean,
as it should be. You’re bringing a new life into the world that is completely dependent on you. You will mold what he/she will become. But you learn more about yourself as that child grows than you ever did in your life before. And you’ll become better for it.
Anyways, thanks for the support, but I have a feeling getting through this is going to be tougher than I am.

Stay as zen as u can
sprite… sometimes things can appear tougher in the windshield than they are in the rearview mirror. My go to ‘angry and/or depressed’ album for years has been ‘downward spiral’, (RATM’s first being a close second) with my goto ‘really disappointed and bummed’ album being ‘the fragile’. Gotta love the reznor. I’m also available as a sounding board, although you seem to have enough offers of that. ;)

I think you will find spriteofice
that you are tougher than you ever imagined. Rough times like these help define who we are and help us understand just how resilient we truly are. I am confident you will be more than fine. The best piece of advice I ever got was to not be afraid to let people in. If you are going through a rough time, as I was last summer, talk to everyone who you care about and respect. They will all say something that makes you feel a little better. And at the very least you will know just how many people truly care about you.

I use a very scientific method for my scores and gwg’s, i get my 2 year old son to point to two numbers between 0-9, the higher is the canucks score, then i show him pictures of the players and who ever he points to first scores the gwg, funny how a 2 year old does so well.

So can we choose Nazzy for the GWG.
I’ll call 4-1 Nucks, Bieksa with the gwg.
Oh, and Edler with a rockin’ hit on Mr. Ohlund.
5-4 Canucks
Kes GWG. Gonna be a close one.
Nazzy was my favourite player during his entire tenure here. When Gillis let him walk….. upset doesn’t cover how I felt. Seeing him in a Rangers jersey was heartbreaking.
Favourite Nazzy moment?
Playoffs, against the Flames. Watching him streak up the ice, burning Flames defenders, thinking to myself “Something special is about to happen”, firing the puck on Kipper hard enough to leave a juicy rebound for Cooker to put in the game tying goal.
That and him scoring a wicked wrister in the first Canucks game I ever went to. He had such an insane shot.
Probably not gonna be here for the gamethread, have a family dinner. Well done Captain Nazzy. You deserve it.

4-3 Canucks, Burrows GWG.
Unfortunately I won’t be seeing the game live since I’m going out to watch the big UFC fight (GSP-Koscheck) tonight.
I’ll try to catch the CBC replay later on.

Yes. I had that same thought when they announced the starter.
Teams always remember the goalie that shut them down when they go out on the market.

I don’t want to keep a talent like that as a back-up. He’s worth much more than just a back-up, and that can contribute to helping us improve our lineup.

But they just got burned with the M. Smith a couple of years ago after losing Richards. If Stevie didn’t take over, Id say there’s next to no chance of it happening.
With Stevie Y…. I’m not sure. Do they have the prospects for Schneids? or do you mean we’re just going to take picks?
