Graphic Avatars / Tonight's WEIRD 5-4 hockey game! / Celeb match
Kickass modifications on the graphic avatar that Erik showed me some time ago. :D
This was the only time the Canucks and the Philadelphia Flyers would meet, and it would ultimately prove to be a weird game. The game at the Wachovia Center got delayed for half an hour because of the icy weather conditions outside (but the building was certainly packed!), which prevented the Flyers from getting to the building on time for practice / warm-up. We learned that Dan Cloutier would be out for the year, which of course presents opportunities for Alex Auld, who started his tenth straight game. The Flyers had seven rookies in their lineup, which they hadn't had since 1992-93. (Philadelphia Flyer-Phantoms, anyone?) But their coaching staff is good with them, since the team has a good record so far.
Sample of weirdness: Baumgartner scored his first goal in 22 games. Wade Brookbank and Mike Richards had a collision, which resulted in both of them being injured. Daniel Sedin apparently scored a goal right when the second period ended, but the horn sounded to end the frame 3/10ths of a second earlier. The teams traded harmless shots (55-footers) which resulted in goals. Jeff Carter also got injured when a puck hit his head. Vancouver scored two goals in 37 seconds early in the third, which resulted in the Flyers goalie (Robert Esche) wanting to soothe his bruised ego (4 goals on 20 shots), so a change in goal was made. Once the new goalie (Anteno Niitymaki, from Finland) was established, Anson Carter scored on the first shot he had to face. (heh, welcome to the game, dude!) Auld apparently sat on the puck to make a save, but they jammed the puck in for a goal. (pucks in close?) Naslund got two back-to-back penalties, but the Canucks survived a frantic late rally by the Flyers. (including two chances in the last minutes for Michael Knuble)
The shots on goal were 44-25 in favor of the Flyers, with 21 coming in the third. They won for the first time when trailing after two periods. Marc Crawford got his 389th career win tonight, and Alex Auld got his fourth win in five games... and the team swept the Eastern road trip! (fourth consecutive win) Speaking of Auld, he needs to work on pucks in his equipment. Three stars: Anson Carter, Ohlund, and Michal Handzus. ("zoooo" chant, heh) Daniel Sedin had two assists, and Henrik Sedin had three.
