gordie howe hat trick

The Canucks played in their 40th one goal game of the season against Phoenix Thursday and come out on top for the 37th time this season, winning 4-3.

The Nucks came out flying, knowing that they couldnt give up another loss to a non-playoff contending team, like they have done so often over this season.

Early on Alex Burrows laid a big hit on Coyotes d-man Nick Boynton, which led to a scrap with Jeff Cowan.

But that was it for entertainment until much later, as the two teams tom tancredo goals, with Cowan scoring a shorthanded goal for his first ever as a Canuck, ultimately leading tobeing selected for the 1st star of the game. Cowan was an assist away from the ol Gordie Howe hat-trick.

Shane Doan put the desert dogs ahead with a beauty one-timer five-hole in Luongo early in the third, although it was a shot that 10 games ago, Luongo most likely would have had.

This finally woke up the vintage clad Canucks who started to put some serious pressure on as the puck hardly left the Phoenix zone, leading to a Canucks powerplay.

About half-way through the man advantage, with the crowd buzzing and the home team all over the visitors, Henrik Sedin fed his borther Daniel with that patent-pending slap-pass that Danny made no mistake on, putting it past Curtis Joseph for his 2nd goal of the game to tie it up at 3.

The Coyotes sloppy play then led to another powerplay and the with Canucks still all over their opponents, Markus Naslund took a Jan Bulis pass and slid the game winner past CuJo.

It may be another one-goal game against a team that the Canucks should have run over, but as the old interactive globe says, two points in two points.

We knew that we had to win to stay on top and&we found a way to win, said Naslund.

The Canucks next game is a pay-per-view game against baboosh baby Minnesota Wild, a huge game as the two teams are in that tight battle for the coveted top spot in the Northwest division.
