Eventhough we won......... I still think that we need to tighten up on the defense. Too many give aways. Lucky Cloutier was on top of his game.

I think the Canucks was lucky to win Game 4... The Wild basically was dominating the play almost the entire game... In the 2nd half of the 3rd period the Canucks even had trouble gaining the offensive zone, not to talk about generating any chances...

They have to pick it up in Game 5 if they wanna close the Wild out...

Go Canucks Go!

Stats don't do Bertuzzi justice

TSN.ca Staff
5/3/2003

Ed Jovanovski has been a pure impact player in the Canucks-Wild series, scoring a goal in every game so far. But there's someone else who's been an impact player as well, although you wouldn't know it from the statistics. The numbers have not been kind to Todd Bertuzzi.

In Game 4, he had no goals and no points, two shots on goal and was -1. In the entire playoffs, he has just one goal and five points with 24 shots and, with 56 minutes in penalties, he's putting his team at a disadvantage all over the place.

But you can't always believe in statistics. Bertuzzi did a great job in front of the net in Game 4, going at it with Willie Mitchell and screening Manny Fernandez. He took a beating in front and came back to lay a hit on Mitchell that knocked the Minnesota defenceman out of the game.

Then in overtime, Bertuzzi took a high-stick from Filip Kuba, leading to a four-minute double minor. On the resulting power play, he was a big presence in front, with Brad Brown and Fernandez unable to handle him as Brent Sopel's shot won the game.

So you can take the stats and get rid of them because in Game 4, he stepped up and was a monster in every way, shape and form. No statistics in the world will tell you what he did and what he meant in this game.

Cheers,
Aquaman

GO WILD!!

Vancouver got away with murder in the first 2 periods, while we [minnesota] got called for that weak hooking call that landed the Canucks with their second goal.

Oh well, 5-6-7 are ours!

Canucks showing perseverance

TSN.ca Staff
5/4/2003

The Ottawa Senators and Vancouver Canucks are both in positions to clinch a berth in the conference finals, but it's too early to predict that All-Canadian Ottawa-Vancouver Stanley Cup Final.

I will say this - you really have to like some of the qualities this Canucks team has exhibited in the postseason. They showed great perseverance by rallying to eliminate the St. Louis Blues after falling behind 3-1 in their first-round series.

The same thing can be said in their second-round tilt with the Minnesota Wild in game-by-game circumstances. Game 5 was certainly a classic case. Canucks defenceman Ed Jovanovski got the game-tying goal with just a couple of minutes to go in a match that was all Minnesota's. They found that way to win with an overtime goal by blueliner Brent Sopel.

It was the same situation we saw in Game 1 of this series. Matt Cooke's equalizer with just seconds left tied the game at three goals apiece and enabled Trent Klatt to score the winner in overtime. Vancouver stole Game 1, a game Minnesota should have won.

It almost happened again in Game 2. A 3-1 lead by the Wild evaporated to 3-2 on a goal by Mattias Ohlund.

You really have to like that quality of perseverance in the Vancouver Canucks. They showed it against St. Louis, they're showing it against the Minnesota Wild and it's that very quality that makes up championship teams.

For TSN.ca, I'm Bob McKenzie.

Cheers,
Aquaman
