Good First period. Gotta get the power play going. If the Leafs keep getting the penalty the nwe must score on the PP 🙂

Go Canucks Go !!! 😀 😀 😀

Cheers,
Aquaman
 
1-0 leafs after the second 🙁 Why did Nolan have to score .......... why not Sundin......... at least he is in my hockey pool 😛

Come on Canucks 😀

Go Canucks Go!!! 😀 😀 😀

ps. Leafs fans......... any update on Mogilny's personal problems?

Cheers,
Aquaman
 
Great game eventough we lost 🙁

I think the stars should be:

1. Ed Belfour
2. Alex Auld
3. Owen Nolan

Auld played quite well and I think his future is going to be a bright one.

Cheers,
Aquaman
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG that would have been SOOOO nice had Naslund been able to get that goal from Henrik. Great pass by Daniel to spring his bro, great move on the defender, and a great through the legs pass over to Naslund. Too bad he was expecting it to come from behind the net though. ARGH!


Also, great game by Auld.


Too bad about May though. I really really want him back next game. He sounds like he's okay though.
 
W00t! We win! Go Nolan!!! 😀 2-0-1

Aquaman, AFAIK, Moginly went back to Toronto for "personal" reasons. He had some family problems to take care of, which is what the media is saying right now. He should be playing the next game against the Islanders.
 
I agree with those stars. I wonder what Cherry has to say?


Heh, I love how MacLean brought that up during coaches corner, and Cherry is a retard for trying to make Burke look stupid about the trading deadline. I also loved Burke on the Hotstove in the second. He defended his opinion on that really well, and put Strachan in his place about the netting.

I gotta say I'm proud to have Burke as the Canucks' GM. Great guy.

I think he probably has a concussion. Did you see his head hit the ice 🙁

That McCabe should get a diving call........ when Bert took him down he went down pretty easy and after the penalty was called he was laughing.

Great game though......... it could have went either way.

Yeah, I also thought that was a dive, and I think Bertuzzi went over to him to say that after he was called. Sucks that TO got their goal on that PP too.

Sooo many chances for the Canucks too. I can't believe they didn't get 4 or 5 goals.
 
Canucks' May carried off the ice

Associated Press
3/15/2003

VANCOUVER (CP) - Forward Brad May of the Vancouver Canucks was taken off the ice on a stretcher after being hit midway through the second period of the club's game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night.

May crumbled to the ice after taking a shoulder-to-shoulder hit from Leafs captain Mats Sundin at 9:31 of the second. May had his head down on the play and didn't see the hit coming.

May lay motionless on the ice for several minutes while players from both teams hovered around. He was placed on a stretcher and attendants put a neck brace on the Canucks player, who was able to move his arm while on the stretcher.

The Canucks acquired May from the Phoenix Coyotes on Tuesday at the NHL's trade deadline.

Vancouver's Mats Lindgren also left the game with an upper body injury.

Leafs blank Canucks in Vancouver

Associated Press
3/15/2003

VANCOUVER (CP) - Owen Nolan scored a power-play goal late in the second period and goaltender Ed Belfour made 23 saves for his seventh shutout of the season as the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Vancouver Canucks 1-0 Saturday night.

Toronto played without leading scorer Alexander Mogilny, Gary Roberts and newly acquired Doug Gilmour, but still manhandled the Canucks.

Nolan scored at 19:09 of the second on Toronto's third power play of the game. He took Nik Antropov's pass from behind the net and one-timed a bullet over goaltender Alex Auld's shoulder.

Vancouver's best scoring chance came late in the third. With Belfour out of position, Henrik Sedin feathered a pass to captain Markus Naslund but the NHL's leading scorer fanned on the shot.

The Canucks' power play was ineffective all night, going 0-for-7.

Toronto improved to 2-0-1 against Vancouver this season.

A hush fell over the soldout crowd of 18,514 early in the second period when crash-and-bash left-winger Brad May crumbled to the ice after colliding with Leafs captain Mats Sundin.

May, acquired from Phoenix at Tuesday's trade deadline, lay motionless for several minutes before being taken away on a stretcher. He moved an arm while leaving.

Vancouver centre Mats Lindgren left after the first period with an upper body injury. Toronto's Robert Reichel also suffered an upper body injury and didn't return for the third period.

Toronto (39-26-5-2) remained fifth in the Eastern Conference, two points behind Philadelphia, which won 4-1 at Pittsburgh.

The Canucks loss, combined with Detroit's victory over Colorado, dropped Vancouver (40-19-12-1) into third spot in the Western Conference.

The game was barely a minute old before the first chant of ``Leafs suck'' started, but it was Toronto that controlled most of the play. The Leafs used the body to keep the Canucks hemmed in their own zone and Vancouver didn't get a shot on net until more than seven minutes into the game.

Leafs goaltender Ed Belfour made a couple of big saves in the second period, getting a glove on a Brent Sopel shot and stopping Todd Bertuzzi after the big forward took a pass from Trevor Letowski.

The Canucks made a surprise move in starting Auld in place of Peter Skudra. It was Auld's second NHL start but he made a couple early saves, stopping Sudin and Mikael Renberg.

Prior to the game, the Leafs issued a release saying an MRI done in Toronto on Friday showed Gilmour will be out four to six weeks with an injured left knee. Gilmour, acquired from Montreal at Tuesday's trade deadline, hurt the knee Thursday in Calgary in his first game for Toronto.

Also out of the Leaf lineup was Mogilny, who returned home for personal reasons, Darcy Tucker (suspended) and Roberts, who returned to Toronto with Gilmour with a groin injury.

The Canucks were without defenceman Mattias Ohlund (knee surgery), forward Artem Chubarov (abdominal strain) and goaltender Dan Cloutier (sprained knee).<

Notes: Cloutier, out since Feb. 25, is expected to join the Canucks on their upcoming two-game road trip and could play either against Dallas Monday or St. Louis Tuesday....Skudra allowed 16 goals in his last five games before sitting out against Toronto....May said he looked at the tape of his hit Thursday on Keith Tkachuk, which has sidelined the St. Louis star for a month, and said it was clean.

Aquaman

Well I think its only fair cause there were no calls after Bertuzzi spear McCabe in the groin.
 
It was more of a hack than a spear. Even if you did call Bertuzzi for that one, you gotta call the dive too. Net result: off-setting calls and even strength. TO got a PP out of that.
 
Canucks' May suffers concussion

Canadian Press
3/15/2003

VANCOUVER (CP) - Vancouver Canucks forward Brad May suffered a concussion and was carried off the ice on a stretcher after colliding with Toronto Maple Leaf captain Mats Sundin midway through the second period of an NHL game Saturday.

May, 31, was awake when he left the ice and moved his arms but it isn't known how long he will be out of action.

``I went down and spoke with Brad,'' said Brian Burke, Vancouver's president and general manager. ``He is conscious. We're not sure the level (of injury) or length of time he might be out. But he's conscious, which is good.''

The gritty May crumpled to the ice at 9:31 of the second after taking a hit from Sundin.

``His head kind of dipped and I think I hit him right on the chin with my shoulder,'' said Sundin after the Leafs won the game 1-0 on a goal by Owen Nolan.

``The way he laid after I felt really bad. I hope he's all right. I think he had the puck. You never want to see anyone end up the way he did but I think it was a clean hit.''

Burke agreed the hit looked legal.

``I only had one look at it but it looked like a clean hit,'' he said. ``Mats Sundin is known as a clean player and certainly you give him the benefit of the doubt there.''

May lay motionless on the ice for several minutes while players from both teams hovered around. He was placed on a stretcher and attendants put a neck brace on him.

Vancouver forward Trevor Linden said it was a scary situation to see.

``Any time you see your player in that type of situation it's hard,'' he said. ``We knew he was OK. Everyone knew he was moving and was awake when he left the ice.''

The Canucks acquired May from the Phoenix Coyotes on Tuesday at the NHL's trade deadline. In his first game Thursday, May was involved in two fights after knocking St. Louis Blues star Keith Tkachuk out of the game with a hit.

Tkachuk will be sidelined for a month with a wrist injury.

Vancouver's Mats Lindgren also left Saturday's game with cramps.

``He couldn't continue,'' said Canucks coach Marc Crawford. ``We don't know how long he's going to be. We'll know more in the next day.''

The Canucks are already playing without three starters. Goaltender Dan Cloutier is sidelined with a knee sprain, defenceman Mattias Ohlund is recovering from knee surgery and Artem Chubarov is recovering from an abdominal sprain.

Cloutier is expect to join the Canucks on a two-game road trip to Dallas and St. Louis beginning Monday.

Too bad it doesn't say how long May is out for... Now is a bad time for injuries.

At least both Colorado and Dallas lost last night.
 
Well it was another one of those games, were you're sitting on the edge of your seat "watching the game".And yelling at the ref as if he might hear you.😱
At about this time my wife thinks I'm nuts and disappears to a different room.
Sure hope May will be ready for the next games.He make such a presents on the ice.
 
Detroit won yet again today, but Colorado lost. I don't really care whether we get 1, 2, or 3, I just don't want Colorado to overtake us 🙂
 
Canucks' May out at least a week

TSN.ca Staff
3/17/2003

VANCOUVER (CP) - Vancouver Canucks forward Brad May will be sidelined for at least a week after being carried off the ice on a stretcher Saturday with a concussion following a hit by Toronto Maple Leafs captain Mats Sundin.

May, acquired from the Phoenix Coyotes at last week's NHL trade deadline, joins a growing list of injured Canucks. Also not joining the team for a two-game road trip to Dallas and St. Louis were defenceman Mattias Ohlund (knee surgery) and centre Mats Lindgren (sore back).

May was taken to hospital Saturday and underwent neurological tests Sunday. A Canucks spokesman said it's not known when May will be able to play again.

Goaltender Dan Cloutier, sidelined since Feb. 27 with a knee sprain, and forward Artem Chubarov, out with an abdominal sprain, travelled with the team.

The Canucks have recalled defenceman Nolan Baumgartner plus forwards Pat Kavanagh and Jason King from their AHL farm team in Winnipeg.

Aquaman
