Toskala steals show in 1-1 tie

Vancouver BC
Hockey is a funny game isn't it. Last night Vesa Toskala stood tall in preserving a 1-1 tie. The night before he couldn't come up with the key save. One thing is for sure when GM Shepherd picked up Toskala he was hoping for many a night like last night.

Toskala made 33 saves including 4 in OT a couple of the spectacular variety. Jason Spezza was all alone on a breakaway when Toskala doublestacked the pads on an attempted deke.

The offense which has struggled in it last couple games only scoring 2 goals will have to work hard in practice to try and find that touch.

The Canucks got a goal from Stu Barnes his 1st tally of the season.

The Canucks will now face a divisional opponent in a home and home series with the Edmonton Oilers.

Star # 1 Vesa Toskala


Star #2 JS Giguere


Star #3 Stu Barnes
