Important

Just letting you know who i think has been the most important players for the Canucks and Devils so far and who will step it up in the playoffs

Devils
Martin Brodeur- has the most shutouts in the league, has three Stanley Cups, as good as it gets!
Patrick Elias- Points leader for the Devils, truely passionate about hockey, quick and puts up important points at important times
Brian Gionta- if he can return for the playoffs and stay healthly, this 5'7 player could produce big points, 10 PP goals in 56 games
Zach Parise- shows leadership already, has 56 points this season, loves the game, enthusiastic
Jamie Langenbrunner- 57 points, 62 PM, 11 PP goals, good leader

Canucks
Roberto Luongo- most wins in the NHL, 4 shutouts, the biggest reason for Vanocuvers comeback season
Daniel Sedin- 76 points, 4 OT winners, 15 PP goals, nearly perfect, great on ice vision, can pretty much do it all
Henrik Sedin- bearly trailing Daniel with 73 points, even better on ice vision, awesome play maker, couldn't ask for anything more
Markus Naslund- with 55 points, will soon wake up and realize he's the only Canucks with a "C" on his jersey and step it up a notch
Bryan Smolinski- good addition to the team already showing he belongs in the playoffs
Kevin Bieksa- picked it up this year after struggling a bit last season, 38 points this season 130 PM, good physical presence
Mattias Ohlund- having a great season with 30 points, excited to have Sopel back, reliable, doesnt needed to look flashly to do his job...<3
Trevor Linden- coming up with big points lately, 5 game point streak going, good veteran influence.......although probably the youngest at heart

YAY CANUCKS

Last night the Canucks beat Edmonton for there 44th win of the season giving them 94 points and putting them in 5th in the league! fwww...it's so exciting to know that there going to be in the playoffs this year. last year it was such a struggle and turned out extremely disappointing when we landed one stop out of playoff standings.

So last night edomton struck first, no biggie. Then Trev decided, thats not cool, and tied it up with a feed across the crease from sedin, Linden one-timed it home. Then the twins didnt like being tied with The Oilers, and they changed that when Henrik gave Daniel and back-handed pass from the slot to the side of the net where number 22 hammered it home from the goal line. Roloson reacted as if Henrik was going to shot making that goal that much sweeter. Luongo was the first star of the game, no surprise, he did his fair share like always, flashing the leather and gettin it done.

This win points Vancouver 3 points of from Minnesota, a slightly padded lead in the NW division.

Linden has had 3 goals in his last 3 games. :D
