Canucks clash with Red Wings

Sports Ticker
2/18/2003

DETROIT (Ticker) -- Dan Cloutier looks to continue his red-hot goaltending when the Northwest Division-leading Vancouver Canucks visit the defending Stanley Cup-champion Detroit Red Wings tonight.

Cloutier was named NHL Player of the Week on Monday after going 2-0-1 with a 1.28 goals-against average and a .952 save percentage,

The 26-year-old, who is second in the NHL with 28 wins, is unbeaten in his last seven starts (4-0-3) and has registered a 1.78 goals-against average and a .938 save percentage during the span.

Brent Sopel scored a power-play goal and fellow defenseman Ed Jovanovski netted his fifth of the season on Saturday, when Vancouver moved to 5-0-4 in its last nine contests with a 2-2 tie on the road against the Calgary Flames.

The Canucks, who lost in six games to the Red Wings in last year's Western Conference quarterfinals, are four points ahead of Colorado for the lead in the Northwest.

The Red Wings, who trail the St. Louis Blues by four points for the lead in the Central Division, have won three in a row following a season-high six-game winless streak.

Brett Hull scored twice in the second period and recorded a season-high four points as the Red Wings extended defeated the Atlanta Thrashers, 6-2, on Saturday.

Hull's goals came in a four-goal outburst during an 8:10 span of the second as the Red Wings put together three straight victories for the first time since winning four in a row from December 21-28.

The Canucks have won two of three meetings from the Red Wings this season.

The first penalty was questionable since the defense got mixed up with the ref........ but them are the breaks. The second goal was caused by Mikko Jokolo's inexperience with playing with Jovo. Still we can't let 2 goals 63 seconds apart happen.

2-0 Wings But We will come back

Go Canucks Go!!!

Boy, this one leaves a bad taste in my mouth. 4-3 Canucks

 

[Mucman]

Wow!!! I'm glad I got home to watch the 3rd period!!! I'm amazed at how these guys are playing!!!

 

[silverpig]

OH MY GAWD!!!!

I was in class all evening. Got to my car (and the radio) just after the 3-1 goal. Listened until it was 3-2, got home 2 minutes before the 3-3 goal, and almost pissed myself with joy at the 4-3 goal!!!


Holy fscking crap way to come back guys! Great play Morrison on that pass too.

 

[Hanpan]

I have not contributed to this thread bbut like silberpig i was listening on the way home. Was running from the car inside just as Naslund scored. Definatly one of the more exciting games i've listened to and a huge victory for the home boys.

Reason for the bad taste was a couple of weak interference penalties called on Wings.

Tying goal bounced off refs foot to the slot when it was headed for the corner.

No "too many men" penalty on Canucks on OT with the ref pointing at the bench. He knew it and didn't call it.

At least that stuff goes both ways... I agree that the 'Nucks did get some help from lady luck, but I know for a fact
that they've also lost a tonne of games because of lady luck...

True we did get lucky on the tieing goal (if it did not hit the refs skate it would have been all over) but since the ref is in play as they say the same could have been said for the 2 many men on the ice call that the canucks took because Jovo & Malik got tangled with the linesmen. The interferenace penalties were deserved. The OT too many men call was also blown but hey ........... the ref is not going to call that........... he's going to call serious stuff only like a high stick that cuts or something like that.

Lady Luck was smiling tonight.

Canucks clip Wings in OT

Associated Press
2/18/2003

DETROIT (AP) - Marek Malik scored 3:02 into overtime as the Vancouver Canucks overcame a three-goal deficit and beat the Detroit Red Wings 4-3 Tuesday night, stretching their unbeaten streak to 10 games.

Malik's winner came off a pass from Brendan Morrison on a 2-on-1 break. Vancouver overcame a 3-0 deficit in the third period.

Vancouver's Markus Naslund tied the game with 24.3 seconds left in regulation when he put in a high shot from just outside the crease after the puck had bounced off the skate of referee Don Van Massenhoeven. It was Naslund's league-leading 38th goal.

Trevor Linden and Trent Klatt also scored for Vancouver.

Sergei Fedorov, Henrik Zetterberg and Luc Robitaille scored for Detroit, which had won three in a row.

Linden got Vancouver on the board at 4:59 of the third period with a wrist shot from the slot. The Canucks made it 3-2 when Klatt poked in a power-play goal with 9:12 left in the third.

Detroit had killed off a 1:02 two-man advantage before Klatt's goal.

The Red Wings took a 2-0 lead in the span of 1:03 early in the second period.

Fedorov broke a scoreless tie 4:08 into the period with a power-play goal. His slap shot from the point deflected off a Canuck player's stick for his 23rd goal of the season. Just over a minute later, Zetterberg stuffed a shot through Vancouver goaltender Dan Cloutier's pads.

Robitaille scored 2:29 into the third period as a put in a spinning one-time slap shot from the high slot. It was his second goal in two games and drove Cloutier to the bench. He was replaced by Peter Skudra.

The first period was scoreless as each team's best opportunity for a goal came short-handed.

Cloutier stopped Fedorov with a glove save 4:40 into the period and Joseph denied Linden as he cut in off the right wing and swept in front of the net with a little under four minutes left in the first. Notes: Detroit was without RW Darren McCarty for the sixth straight game because of an infected cut on his elbow . . . Vancouver D Sami Salo did not play . . . Fedorov has eight points (three goals and five assists) during a five-game point streak. That includes three goals and four assists in four games since complaining about not getting enough ice time . . . Linden has a three-game point streak (a goal and two assists).

Too bad he got chased out of net by the Robitaille goal

Great play by Skurda though

True, though I think Crawford did it to shake up the team. Skudes certainly was impressive in his own right, goaltending seems really solid this year, Canucks are going places during the Playoffs I'm certain.
