			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.

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        |

			something worth noting today:  
Brandon Yip of Maple Ridge who played for the Coquitlam Express scored his first NHL goal with the Avalanche today.   
Kudos to Yip making it to the NHL!

				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.
