Leos lost, but NUCKIES WIN!!!! 4-1
Okay. No real comment here, since I only saw the last 10 minutes of the game, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut I just had to say...
OMG WILLIE MITCHELL SCORED!! FIRST GOAL OF THE SEASON!! And just like last year, it was assisted by Markus Naslund!!! Total Nazzy-Willie connection, I tell ya.
I saw the replay and it was such an awesome play by Nazzy! Amazing patience with the puck again, and all the Flamers were just focusing on Naslund and Willie went unchecked and unnoticed as he skated through the slot to receive Nazzy's pass and, voila, GOAL!!!
Also, Brad Isbister scored his first goal of the season and as a Canuck. As I said yesterday, that line deserves it. Looks like they pretty much shut down Iginla and the top line again, except for that fluky Aucoin goal that apparently grazed over Pyatt's shoulder.
Anyway, good on Iz. :) Good for that line.
And wow, is it possible? The Canucks practically have three scoring lines, one of which doubles as a shutdown line, and a fourth line that can also contribute once in a while.
Heck, the game against Minnesota had all four lines scoring.
Wow, eh?
