In a heartfelt letter, Daniel and Henrik Sedin retire on the Canucks website.
Part of Canadian hockey closes a chapter. They have three games left to play, but it's going to be weird next year not having the Sedin's as part of the fraternity on-ice.

Oilers beat Vancouver in Overtime, at Vancouver
Connor McDavid set up Nail Yakupov early to give the Oilers a 1-0 lead, it was McDavid's second assist of his career, and he now has five points in four games.
Anders Nielssen played really well in his second game of the season, and the Oilers sent this game to overtime.
In overtime, the Oilers took the game for their second road win over a division rival in a row on back to back nights, to improve to 2-4 on the season, heading home for a long homestand.

There would be no need for a shootout.
The game winner goes to Lauri Korpikoski. The assist from Andrej Sekera.
Re-watched the Oilers game from last night, and came up with a hot taek: McJesus is a goddamn monster on the ice.

Taylor Hall is Sorry He's Not Sorry, Vancouver
Eberle, Hall, and Nugent-Hopkins were the causation.

Rick Rypien article in Vancouver Sun
I haven't read the whole thing yet, but this was a good article in the Vancouver Sun on the struggles of Rick Rypien.

Oilers lose 4-3 to Canucks on Hockey Night
Taylor Hall got robbed of a goal--but it was able to give Ryan Nugent Hopkins his first hat trick of his career. Hall had two assists on the night and was +2, but the Oilers in the end fell to 1-1-1 on the season with a 4-3 loss to the Canucks on Hockey Night in Canada.

It's a hockey night
First counting hockey night of the year for Edmonton Oilers fans. They play host to the Vancouver Canucks at Rexall Place coming off the heels of a 2-1 OT loss in Minnesota on Thursday night. I was pretty upset the Oilers
Tonight's game also comes with a little good news, the Oilers are one step closer to the new YEG arena being completed. It's looking like a foregone conclusion that the Oilers are going to get their new arena, and I couldn't be happier that the Oilers are staying in such a rich hockey town.
I hope Taylor Hall nets a goal tonight and gets in the point box. He seems to have a flare for the dramatics on Saturdays and Hockey Nights. I'll be back with a nice post-game post after CBC's broadcast tonight most likely.

Game Seven Stanley Cup Finals goes down tonight
These two teams will be forever married in history; the Boston Bruins and the Vancouver Canucks. Many are predicting that this champion will be decided due to an unlikely hero.
We expect to be much more involved on this blog starting with the NHL Draft at the end of this month and into next season. Watching the Oilers chase their own Stanley Cup dreams will be something we'll follow on a game by game basis beginning next October.
But all is not forgotten with the 2010-2011 season. After all, this is the season that we fell in love with the game of hockey. This is the season that we studied the game, attended two games live, watched the Winter Classic, went skating several times, and watched some high school hockey games on Friday nights.
It's a great and glorious game filled with tradition and the finest trophy in sports. For these reasons, we'll be tuning in tonight. And although we're in the heart of America and it would be easy to pull for Tyler Seguin and the Bruins; it's also hard not to be happy that a Canadian team has the opportunity to bring the cup back to the roots where the sport was born on frozen ponds.
Daniel Sedin guaranteed victory in game 7. Something has to give. It all goes down tonight.

The Champions fall in Vancouver
It would have been nice to have seen this game instead of getting a text in the form of an ESPN alert. But unless I was watching the game illegally on the net somewhere or paying extra dollars to have Versus, there was no way for me to watch this game.
From NHL.com:
From NHL.com:
"This is what legends are made of," Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo said, referencing what was spoken inside the relatively quiet room. "Game 7, OT. It doesn't get any better than that. Somebody is going to become a hero."
Take a bow Alex Burrows. It was you.
Burrows capped off one of the craziest emotional roller-coaster nights in the Canucks’ 40 NHL seasons in Vancouver by ripping a knuckling slap shot over Chicago goalie Corey Crawford's right shoulder 5:22 into overtime. Vancouver's 2-1 victory set off a wild celebration on the ice, in the stands and in the streets while relieving an insane amount of tension from the entire city.
The win sends the Canucks into the Western Conference Semifinals, where they will face the Nashville Predators. All Vancouver had to do was withstand a near-miraculous comeback from the Blackhawks, both in the series and in Game 7.
Chicago became the seventh team in NHL history to force a Game 7 after losing the first three games of a series, but the fourth to lose the final game after winning Games 4-6. The Hawks also trailed 1-0 heading into the final two minutes of regulation Tuesday, but Jonathan Toews scored a game-tying shorthanded goal to send this one into overtime.
The champs are all finished. Toews got them close but could not get them past the Canucks. The picture above says 1,000 words. It's a shame that more of this country can't see games like this to make them fall for hockey. The drama, irony, and all that is rich this time of year.
