the team got manhandled today... didn't help Raymond being a smaller player and he tried too hard to make something happen
the sedins were pretty productive out there, just that the islanders had some pretty decent defense going, intercepting nifty passes.

Listening to the game on the radio, sounded like Pyatt was pretty useless tonight. Just watching it on TV now to confirm it.
Raymond got manhandled a couple of times leading to penalty's against him.
And on the post game show, they were talking about how poorly Salo has been playing and I would agree with what was said. Sighhhh....

i thought Salo actually had a pretty decent game tonight even though i do agree he's been pretty bad lately
i thought all in all it was a decent game from the long trip to newyork but still woulda liked the 2 points, Lu looked great obviously but just couldnt find the finish for a few moves although for a typical canucks game it could have been easilly gone their way with the type of work they were displaying
Is there a night this season where anyone has argued they gave up or didnt work hard?

I think Salo got injuried during the Avs game when they scored the goal to tie the game.

Our D cannot hit the net.
I just wish more players on the Nucks could shoot the puck. When was the last time you've seen a nuck score with a shot like Demitra's first goal?

Is it me or did they used to carry the puck in the offensive zone a lot more in the beginning of the season. Now its just dump and chase, reminds me of last year now haha.
Putting raymond on the point cost us so many turnovers too.

Whenever we're on a pp and we get a shot from the point it always goes wide. Bieksa and Salo are notorious for this. Atleast Ohlund his the net on his shots  | |

Starting over incognito
Former Canuck captain Markus Naslund now skates for the New York Rangers, where he enjoys a lower profile
Iain MacIntyre
Vancouver Sun columnist
Monday, November 17, 2008
Markus Naslund is enjoying life in this, his first season with the New York Rangers.

Markus Naslund is enjoying life in this, his first season with the New York Rangers.
NEW YORK - Markus Naslund is happy again. He deserves to be.
There has always been a fundamental decency about Naslund that made indecent the vitriol hurled his way during his final years with the Vancouver Canucks.
It wasn't the criticism of Naslund-the-hockey-player that seemed despicable, but the attacks on Naslund-the-person. He was too soft, too quiet, too passive. It was nonsense, or would have been had Naslund not cared so much about what people thought of him.
Here in New York, most people don't think of him at all. And that is a great and liberating thing for one of the three best players in Canuck history.
"I'm happy about the change," Naslund said Monday before playing for Rangers in Manhattan against the Ottawa Senators, about 40 kilometres and several tax brackets away from where the Canucks played the New York Islanders in Uniondale. "It's definitely an adjustment, on and off the ice. But it's been refreshing.
"I'm enjoying the game a little more. It helps that we've been winning. When you go somewhere new, it kind of takes you back. It's like your first time doing everything again, and that energizes you."
After more than 11 National Hockey League seasons with the Canucks, the last seven as their captain, Naslund quietly slipped away in the off-season and signed a two-year contract with the Rangers. In his final game for the Canucks - also Trevor Linden's last game in Vancouver - Naslund was utterly ignored, and this was an improvement on the scorn he'd absorbed for scoring 49 goals over his final two seasons.
"He deserved a lot better than how it ended here," long-time Canuck defenceman Mattias Ohlund said. "Once the media and fans got the ball rolling, [the criticism] kind of got out of control. He did so much for our team.
"I guarantee if you ask anybody who played with him and for him, he was a very good captain and a great guy. It just seemed he was the guy to blame when we didn't perform well. I talk to him every couple of weeks, send texts back and forth. He seems very happy.
"I don't know if he needed the change, but I can tell talking to him that he's very happy and very upbeat. Obviously, it's been good for him."
Naslund needed the change and, in truth, so did the Canucks. Both sides were being strangled by the baggage heaped on Naslund. It just would have been nice had more people said "thank you" to the leading scorer in Canuck history.
"He got a little bit of a rough ride, but that's pro sports, too," Canuck Willie Mitchell said. "It was a little much, I thought, at times. As professionals, we have to deal with that and find ways to put it out of your head.
"He's a guy who really took things hard. I miss him here because he was an exceptional teammate. He'd do anything for any of the guys. He really cared what his teammates wanted. People didn't see that part. People said: 'Not enough energy, not enough passion, blah blah blah.' Well, BS; he had that. He just showed it in different ways."
Naslund wears an 'A' for the Rangers, and nobody expects him to carry the team. New York coach Tom Renney, another good man who has made the most of a second chance after failing with the Canucks, has provided Naslund better linemates than he had the last couple of years in Vancouver.
He began the season with Scott Gomez and Nikolai Zherdev, and was skating with captain Chris Drury and Ryan Callahan before Monday's game. The oldest Ranger at 35, Naslund had six goals and 14 points in 20 games - almost identical to his scoring pace from the last two seasons.
But nobody here seems outraged, as they would be were Naslund producing this for the Canucks, because he is merely part of a pool of forwards and the Rangers are the best team in the Eastern Conference and have been since the season began.
"I'd been in Vancouver such a long time, it was really the only thing I knew," Naslund said. "There are so many things that are new - and not just around the game, but everything else, too. I was uncertain about what I wanted to do [after last season] ... but I felt it was time to leave Vancouver."
He is uncertain, too, how he will feel when he lines up against the Canucks on Wednesday.
Naslund, his wife Lotta and their three children live in Greenwich, Conn. He said his kids still miss Vancouver but are adjusting to new everything - school, home, friends. Lotta takes the kids to see things in Manhattan, which is bigger and grander than any six-year-old could imagine. They see Broadway shows. Naslund can join them without being recognized.
In one of the biggest places on Earth, the weight of the world is finally off his shoulders. imacintyre@vancouversun.com

Low profile = less stress, better play.
I'm glad Naslund is playing better and enjoying his move to NY.
