good game except for the no shut out for Luuuuuu

The second period tonight was probably the hardest working period from ALL four lines this season

i would agree with that. they were just saying during the 1st intermission how the 2nd period has been the akile's(sp?) heel of canucks this year.

The second period has been the Canucks achilles heel.
I was very impressed with the hustle and grit shown by the club tonight in the second and Wellwood join the foray as well. Good to see him skating and trying.
Johnson on the other hand was average tonight and had some turnovers in the 3rd.
Bieksa, well, what can you say. He was probably not as noticeable, which is a good thing, mostly because of his limited time on ice.
O'Brien played over 20 minutes tonight. I am growing to like him a lot. He is showing maturity and it seems like he is having a lot of fun! which is always a good thing :thumbsup:

Is that going to be a new trend at GM Place? Endless woo'ing? :lol

Just got back from the game...we had a great time..

SOB was playing intensed today and played awesome...He prolly stood out the most to me especially on the 1st period.

And mannnn Martin Erat can fly down the ice really fast...

Those two fans wearing the green alien suits sitting beside Nashville's penalty box were friggin hilarious.

haha yeah with the crying faces to scatchard when he took that stupid penalty.

When I was reading that link, I came across this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taro_Tsujimoto

Quote:

Taro Tsujimoto is an imaginary ice hockey player who was legally drafted by the National Hockey League's Buffalo Sabres 183rd overall in the 11th round of the 1974 NHL Entry Draft.[1][2]

The Sabres' General Manager at the time, Punch Imlach, was reportedly fed up with the slow drafting process via the telephone. He decided to have some fun at the expense of the league and President of 28 years, Clarence Campbell, so contacted public relations director Paul Wieland for the translation of Sabre in Japanese and found a common Japanese name in a Buffalo-area phone book.[3] Thus, when the 11th round surfaced, Imlach chose to select star center Taro Tsujimoto of the Japanese Hockey League's Tokyo Katanas.[1] The NHL made the pick official, and so it was reported by all major media outlets including The Hockey News.[1][2]

Imlach did not acknowledge the fake draft pick until weeks later. The NHL would eventually change the pick to an "invalid claim" for its official record-keeping purposes (Campbell not finding it nearly as funny as Imlach), but this was after Tsujimoto's name had appeared in several NHL publications.[1][2] Tsujimoto is still listed among Sabres' draft picks in the Sabres media guide.[4]

Taro quickly became an inside joke for Sabres' fans and staffers.[3] For years after the pick, fans would chant "We Want Taro" when games at the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium became one-sided.

LoL! :lol

all about the green men!!!!
