And he just about notched his third there. Unlucky.

Mats Sundin still has some issues to work out. There were a couple times on the Powerplay where he had the puck on the halfboards, and was open but took too long to shoot. Conditioning was a bit of a problem, especially early in the game, when his shifts were like 20 seconds long, but his shifts did hit the 45 second mark by the end of the game.

I am pleased with what I see so far though. I knew he was big and strong, but I didn't realize he was THAT big and strong. He was hard to knock off the puck, and hard to move from in front of the net.

I see him getting into his groove after 6-7 games, when he's back to game condition, and more comfortable with his linemates (Raymond and Wellwood........at least for now.........who knows with AV).

 

Since Sundin signed with the Canucks, i've been following the team more & watched Sundin's first game on the Yahoo stream. I'd like to see more of Sunding playing on the same line with the Sedin twins (not gonna happen much though). Do you know of any sites that stream Canucks games? the only tv channels i get that play hockey are Versus & CSN-Bay Area, which suffice to say don't play Nucks games
