The Canucks were back on the ice at GM Place today for their first practice in preparing for their opening round playoff series against the St. Louis Blues. All Canucks were present and accounted for, except for Willie Mitchell, who the coaches let stay off the ice for a maintenance day.
Nothing earth-shattering took place at practice. The team is scheduled to skate again at 11:00am tomorrow morning. The Canucks finished off the regular season at 45-27-10=100pts, compared to last season's record of 39-33-10=88pts. Vancouver finished off this year with 246 goals for and 220 goals against. Last year, the Canucks had 213GF and 215GA.
The Blues arrived in Vancouver last night after finishing off the season with a 1-0 win in Denver yesterday against the Colorado Avalanche. Only a handful of players skated at GM Place this afternoon, but their full line-up is expected to skate tomorrow.
The Blues, who finished 6th in the Western Conference at 41-31-10=92pts had a dramatic turnaround from last season, one that saw them finish 14th in the West at 33-36-13=79pts. Only Boston and Chicago had bigger point increases from last season to this season. The Blues had the same amount of goals for as they did goals against this season (233). Last season, the Blues had 205GF and 237GA.
Blues Head Coach Andy Murray indicated today that there is no update on the status of Paul Kariya and whether or not he'll be healthy enough to appear in this series for St. Louis.

Canucks Wrap Season With OT Shut Out
It wasn't a pretty way to finish off the regular season Saturday afternoon in the Mile High City. However, it was enough to clinch another Northwest Division title and earn home ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs. The Canucks posted a 1-0 shut out win in overtime against the Colorado Avalanche, giving Vancouver 100 points to conclude the 82-game campaign.
The Canucks came out firing on all cylinders to start the game, generating eight shots inside the first two minutes of action. However they weren't able to beat goalie Peter Budaj, who had a record of 3-0-0 against the Canucks this season.
Vancouver went to the intermission with 19 shots for their efforts, but they weren't able to keep momentum on their side in the middle frame as they were only able to muster up four shots on goal. At the other end of the rink, Roberto Luongo was solid, as he turned aside anything the struggling Avs were able to put together in the way of good offensive chances.
In the third period, the Canucks were able to pick up the pace, but still had their difficulties beating Budaj. At the same time, they played a strong defensive period, not allowing Colorado much in the way of opportunities. As the game wound down and regulation time ended, the Canucks earned the single point they needed to clinch a Northwest Division banner.
The last time the Canucks were in overtime, Henrik Sedin netted the winner in a 2-1 decision against the Minnesota Wild on March 31. On this afternoon, Henrik proved to be the OT hero again. On the opening shift of overtime, Willie Mitchell was able to get the puck into the Avs right corner for Daniel Sedin. He cycled the puck to his brother who proceeded to make his way around the net. As he came around the net, Henrik attempted to get the puck back to Daniel across the face of the goal. However, his pass wound up deflecting off the skate of Scott Hannan and underneath Budaj. Henrik's 22nd goal of the season and Daniel's 51st assist of the season each gave the Sedin's 82 points to finish off the year tied for the Canucks scoring lead.
The winning goal, which came 40 seconds into overtime, also gave the Canucks 100 points, a milestone reached by the club for just the fifth time in franchise history. The victory also gave Luongo his 9th shut-out of the season. It moves him into a tie with Kirk McLean for most shut-outs by a Canucks goalie (20).
Vancouver finished the game out-shooting Colorado 33-22. Both teams wound up going 0-for-3 on the power play.
The Canucks conclude the regular season with an overall record of 45-27-10. They were one of the best teams in the entire league when it came to their play down the stretch drive. Since the beginning of February, the Canucks posted a record of 23-7-2.
The Canucks will know by the end of Easter Sunday who their opponent will be in the opening round of the playoffs. The best bet is likely the St. Louis Blues, who with a victory over the Avalanche in Denver Sunday night, will finish the season in 6th place in the Western Conference. If the Blues don't earn a maximum two points, then the Canucks will face the Columbus Blue Jackets, a team that has qualified for the post-season for the first time in franchise history.

Canucks Wrap Home Sked With Shut Out
In one of their more defensive-minded efforts in a long time, the Vancouver Canucks needed just one goal from their MVP and a 20-save performance from their captain as they edged out the Los Angeles Kings 1-0 at GM Place Thursday night.
Ryan Kesler, named prior to the game as the Canucks 2008-09 Most Valuable Player, scored the lone goal of the game while on a 2nd period power play. Mats Sundin's shot from the right face off circle would be denied by Kings rookie puckstopper Jonathan Quick. However, Kesler was able to snap home the rebound for his 26th of the season. Alexander Edler gets the other helper at 5:49.
Roberto Luongo wasn't nearly as busy as his 46-save effort last Tuesday against the Calgary Flames, but he was sharp. His best saves came in the middle frame when he denied Anze Kopitar from the slot with a good stop by the right pad, as well as in the third period when he made an alert high arm stop off a bullet of a chance from Alexander Frolov.
With Luongo's performance, the Canucks saw a couple of club shut-out records broken. Luongo, now has eight shut-outs on the season, surpassing Dan Cloutier's record set back in the 2001-02 season. A new club record for shut-outs in a season was also set as Luongo's eight, combined with Curtis Sanford's 3-0 win over the Ottawa Senators last December breaks a record held in three previous season. In the 2003-04 season, Cloutier and Johan Hedberg combined for eight. Cloutier teamed up Peter Skudra in 2001-02 for that same total. The first time that number was reached by the franchise came in the 1974-75 season, when the goalies were Gary Smith (6) and Ken Lockett (2).
The Canucks improve their overall record to 44-27-10, and in the processed collected their 30th win of the season when leading after two periods of action. Vancouver's home ice record finishes off at 24-12-5, improving upon last season's total of 21-15-5.
With 98 points, the Canucks enter Good Friday currently in top spot in the Northwest Division and in third place in the Western Conference. They'll conclude the regular season Saturday afternoon in Denver for a meeting with the Colorado Avalanche. Game time for the matinee at the Pepsi Center will be 12:00pm PST.

Canucks/Kings Game Day
The Canucks (43-27-10) play their final home game of the regular season tonight against the Los Angeles Kings (33-36-11). The Canucks are 2-1-0 in their three previous meetings with the Kings. Henrik Sedin (2g,3a), Daniel Sedin (1g,3a), Taylor Pyatt (2g,1a), and Sami Salo (3a) lead the Canucks in head-to-head scoring while Jarret Stoll (2g,1a), Alexander Frolov (1g,1a), Anze Kopitar (1g,1a), and Teddy Purcell (2a) lead the Kings.
With two games remaining, the Canucks enter the night tied with the Calgary Flames (96 pts.). Roberto Luongo's 46-save performance in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames was not his highest single game save total as a Canuck. That occured last season when he stopped 49 of 51 shots in a 3-2 shoot-out win over the Nashville Predators.
Mattias Ohlund's two-goal effort against the Flames snapped a 25-game personal goal-scoring drought. Other Canucks d-men who have gone lengthy stretches without scoring include Kevin Bieksa (16), Sami Salo (18), Willie Mitchell (37), and Shane O'Brien (136).
Prior to the start of tonight's game, the Canucks year-end awards will be presented. Hardware will be handed out for Team MVP, Top Defenceman, Most Exciting Player, and Unsung Hero.
Despite being a non-playoff team for the sixth straight season, the Kings are winding down one which has been one of their best in recent years. Tonight is their final road game and they are 8-8-3 against Northwest Division opponents this season. Rookie d-man Drew Doughty is likely to be a Calder Trophy candiate, leading all Kings and NHL rookies in average ice time (23:53). He also leads all NHL rookie defencemen in scoring (6g,21a).
Here are the expected line-ups for both teams heading into tonight's game:
Canucks:
D.Sedin - H.Sedin - Burrows
Demitra - Sundin - Kesler
Raymond - Wellwood - Bernier

Luongo Huge In Win Over Flames
The Canucks captain stole the show Tuesday night at General Motors Place. Roberto Luongo snapped a three-game losing streak with a stellar 46-save performance to lead Vancouver to a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames, keeping the Canucks hopes alive for home ice advantage in the playoffs.
Luongo was extremely busy in the first period, stopping all 21 shots Calgary fired his way. His best stop may have come on the first shot he faced, as he stoned Mike Cammalleri 39 seconds into the action on a chance from the top of the crease.
Against the run of the play, Vancouver was able to score the only goal of the period and it came courtesy of their fourth line. Ryan Johnson was able to get the puck up the ice for Rick Rypien. His initial shooting attempt from the left face off circle was foiled when his stick was lifted. However he was able to get a second opportunity which he snapped high over the shoulder of Mikka Kiprusoff. Alexander Edler gets the other assist on Rypien's third of the season at 17:21.
The Canucks got into some penalty trouble in the second period, but Luongo and the penalty killers in front of him did a solid job of limiting the Flames opportunities. Calgary did eventually get the equalizer they were hoping for and they looked to their leading scorer to get the job done. Olli Jokinen's shot from close range missed the target, but Jarome Iginla was able to gather the loose puck and stuff in on the short side of Luongo. Cammalleri picks up the other helper on Iginla's 35th of the campaign at 14:44.
The game didn't stay tied for long as on the next shift, the home team got the lead back. Ryan Kesler was able to wheel around the Flames zone before dishing a pass off to Mattias Ohlund in the left face off circle. He stepped into a slap shot that deflected off the stick of Dion Phaneuf and behind Kiprusoff. Ohlund, who had gone 25 games without a goal, netted his 5th of the season and first game-winner tally of the season at 15:06.
Luongo was fantastic in the opening half of the third period, especially with the Canucks having to kill off a lengthy Calgary 5-on-3 power play. Iginla had numerous chances to capitalize, but whether it came on a 2-on-1 rush with Cammalleri or on a clear-cut breakaway, Luongo was able to keep the door closed. Jokinen also had a golden opportunity to score on the man advantage with Luongo out of position, but his shot from five feet out hit the post.
With a little more than five minutes to go in the game, Vancouver got that all-important insurance goal they were hoping for and it came on the power play. Edler got the puck into the right corner for Mats Sundin, who snapped a nice cross-zone pass to the opposite point for Ohlund. With traffic in front, Ohlund's low shot found its way to the back of the net, giving him his second of the night at 14:51.
Henrik Sedin rounded out the scoring for Vancouver as after taking a drop pass inside the Flames line from Daniel Sedin, he ripped a snap shot past Kiprusoff. Alex Burrows chips in the other assist on Henrik's 21st of the year at 17:28.
Final shots on net did favour the Flames 47-25. The Canucks went 1-for-5 on the power play and a perfect 6-for-6 on the penalty kill.
Now with an overall record of 43-27-10, the Canucks are now tied with the Flames with 96 points. Vancouver will play the final home game of the regular season Thursday night against the Los Angeles Kings. Game time is 7:00pm PST.

I'm Back/Canucks & Flames Game Day
After being laptop-less for the past week-and-a-half, I'm lucky to be back on-line and prepare for the stretch drive into the NHL playoffs. Luckily I return as the Canucks enter the final week of the regular season with their chances still alive for home ice advantage in the first round.
The Canucks (42-27-10) need a victory to keep their hopes of a Northwest Division title alive as well as they entertain the Calgary Flames (45-28-6). The Canucks are 3-2-0 against the Flames in their head-to-head meetings this season, which includes overtime and shoot-out victories in Calgary. Daniel Sedin (3g,4a), Ryan Kesler (3g,2a), Henrik Sedin (1g,4a), and Alex Burrows (2g,2a) lead the Canucks in head-to-head scoring while Mike Cammalleri (4g,1a), Daymond Langkow (2g,3a), Jarome Iginla (1g,4a), and Rene Bourque (2g,2a) lead the Flames. Roberto Luongo has appeared in three of the five games, posting a 2.22 GAA and 92.6 Sv% while Mikka Kiprusoff has allowed 18 goals against (3.50GAA) and a 87.8Sv%.
The Canucks start the night with 94 points and an out-right loss to the Flames tonight would give Calgary the division title. The Canucks are winless in their last three and have been out-scored 15-9 in that stretch. Pavol Demitra has points in four straight games (2g,2a) and it's still up in the air on whether or not he'll be re-united on a line tonight with Kesler and Mats Sundin. Darcy Hordichuk will be back in the line-up tonight though in place of Jannik Hansen.
The Flames are coming off a 4-1 win at home last night against the Los Angeles Kings, but they've given up points in eight of their last nine road games. Due to injury troubles, they'll be short one forward tonight. Iginla has goals in three of his last four games, but they are having their fair share of troubles getting offense from some of their other top end forwards. Cammalleri has gone seven in a row without a goal while Olli Jokinen has gone 10 straight without scoring.
Here are the expected line-ups for both teams heading into tonight's game:
Canucks:
D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Burrows
Demitra - Sundin - Kesler
Raymond - Wellwood - Bernier
Hordichuk - Johnson - Rypien
Mitchell - Salo
