Canucks Stellar Preseason Ends in OT Loss
Anaheim 4 – Canucks 3
The Canucks just couldn’t pull off a perfect pre-season, after heading into Sundays game against the Ducks, the Canucks had won all 6 of their preseason games.
Vancouver fell behind half way into the first period when Mattias Olund was sitting out for a 5 minute major for boarding, and former Canucks Brendan Morrison scored on the power play to make it 1-0. It was back and forth all game, featuring a toal of 4 power play goals, 3 of them by Vancouver.
One of the plays of the night was Mason Raymond’s best impression of a young Pavel Bure, going around the offensive zone with complete control of the puck, deking back and forth before lifting the puck up into the back of the net. Raymond looks extremely promising for the regular season, and will definitely be one to watch.
Goals in Sunday’s game were scored by: Henrik Sedin (Daniel Sedin, Kyle Wellwood), Mason raymond (Alex Edler, Pavol Demitra), Mason Raymond (Pavol Demitra, Alex Edler).
The Canucks pre-season is now over, and they will open the regular season at home at GM Place on Thursday te 9th vs the Calgary Flames. The game will be broadcast on CBC as well as played live on Team1040 am. You can listen to the Canucks games live at http://www.team1040.ca
