After clearing waivers and doing a stint in Manitoba a couple of weeks ago, forward Kyle Wellwood was recalled to the Vancouver Canucks last Tuesday due to an injury to Pavol Demitra. Since then, he’s recorded two power-play goals and an assist in two games, helping to spark a dismal Canucks man advantage. Vancouver had managed only three power play goals in seven games prior to Saturday’s tilt against Edmonton, in which the Canucks scored four times in six chances with the extra attacker.
Apparently, like milk, the AHL does a body good. And, um, we’re sorry about those mean things we said, Kyle. We didn’t mean them, even though the Augustus Gloop bit was damn good. We were just so disappointed, and it came out the wrong way. Hey, wanna get a beer? No? OK, that’s cool. Watch out for that Milan Lucic tomorrow. He’s a monster.
