What a season for my beloved Vancouver Canucks. The team won the Northwest Division and finished 3rd in the Western Conference. Its been a tough season. The Canucks were faced with the longest road trip in NHL history, with 14 games over 6 weeks, from January 27 to March 13, 2010, as a result of Vancouver hosting the 2010 Winter Olympics. They went better than 50% for the trip and pulled off some stirring come from behind victories. They finished 2nd in the league for total goals and Henrik Sedin became the first Canuck ever to win the Art Ross Trophy by scoring 112 points.Henrik and twin brother Daniel along with Alex Burrows and Mikael Samuelsson have proved to be one of the most formidable first lines in the NHL. Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin and Mikael Samuelsson combined for 3 goals and 4 assists including Samuelsson's League-leading sixth and seventh of the playoffs and the Canucks blew away the Los Angeles Kings 7-2 on Friday at GM Place to take a 3-2 lead in their Western Conference Quarterfinal series.
Samuelsson is a zone that most players can only dream about. He's scored his seven goals on 22 shots, a shooting percentage that Kobe Bryant is likely to put up on a bad night for the Los Angeles Lakers.
