Vancouver Canucks defeat the high powered Los Angeles Kings

The Vancouver Canucks dug deep tonight, and defeated the high powered Los Angeles Kings. Matt Cooke scored the game winner in the 1st period, as the Canucks completely shut down the Kings.

Have the Canucks lost Bertuzzi? Yes. Do the canucks have Matt Cooke playing Bertuzzi's old role? YES! Matt Cooke will replace Bertuzzi, and will be the new muscle for the Naslund/Morrison line. With the recent return of Ed Jovanoski, combined with the fact that the canucks now have Sanderson and Rucinsky, the suspension of Bertuzzi seems to be an afterthought.

Tonight's performance has convinced me. The Canucks are for real. They really came together as a team tonight. Oh yeah - Cloutier's back as well.

With the exception of Turco and Brodeur, I don't think any other goalie is more coveted than Cloutier at the current time.

Go Canucks!
