Game Notes: Game 82

Once again, here are my quick hits from last night’s game.

• Quote from Roberto Luongo: “I don’t really care … My season ended (with the Edmonton loss) Thursday as far as I’m concerned.” That attitude would really irritate me if I was a Canuck fan. Or if I was Trevor Linden.
• I know it was a nothing game for Vancouver, but a 7-1 win is still pretty sweet.
• I kind of feel bad for Nystrom. 2 goals and an assist and he has to take a backseat to both Linden and Iginla.
• Glad Iginla potted #50.
• If I lived in Vancouver, I’d probably want to get on to golf season earlier, too.
• Very classy showing of the Flames to stay on the ice after the game to congratulate Linden.
• On that note, congratulations to Trevor Linden on an outstanding career. I liked him a lot better in a Canadiens uniform, but still respected him in a Canucks uniform. I hate it when classy guys like that play for my rivals, because it’s just so hard to dislike him.
• Have I mentioned lately that the Oilers suck? Thanks for Thursday night, though. We’ll send you some golf passes!
• I know we had pretty good success against San Jose this season, but the still scare me with the run they’ve been on lately. I would’ve preferred playing Minnesota in the first round.
• Nystrom, Boyd, and Moss should get some more ice time in the playoffs.

It’s go time now, boys. Time for the stars to step up and make us a contender. Let’s fire up the playoff pools, boys!
