Yes, and like many others, he was better after leaving.
Irbe, Burke, Snow, Potvin, Peca, Mogilny...

Wow! Canucks win 3-2 even though they only got 13 shots on goal! The Wild are in trouble, even when they limit the Canucks attack, it is not enough to stop them. Roloson doesn't look good coming out with a 669% save average.
The Canucks get a huge boost by showing their defence is strong and that they can score when they have to against the Wild.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUCKS!!!
That last call on Arnott: Questionable?
I say: it may be 'questionable' due to the timing, but the hit itself was definitely illegal. If you see the guy's numbers, you gotta hold back.
Still, it was a 1-0 win, so Dallas doesn't have much of a case saying that the penalty cost them the game.
QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK!!!

East:
Ottawa tied with Philadelphia 2-2
New Jersey beats Tampa 4-1
West:
Anaheim leads Dallas 3-1
Vancouver leads Minnesota 3-1
New Jersey eliminated Tampa tonight. The poor Southeastern conference - the only reason they got a team in the second round is because Washington and Tampa faced each other!
Canucks come back from two 1-goal deficits to beat the Wild in OT. Vancouver's blue line is on fire!

Every team has a Bertuzzi, or needs one. He's the prototypical power forward that gets under the skin of the opposing team's top defenders. If you hate Bertuzzi, he's doing his job well.

I give the Wild full marks for coming back on the Avs. But it is much harder to do it a second time, against a team that a) is prepared to not underestimate them, and b) has been knocking the stuffing out of them much more than Colorado.
The Avs "much stronger" than the Canucks? They may have finished the season on fire, but they only won the division by a single point. Not to mention that Vancouver won that season series 3-1.

It's no worse than any other media bias. In any all-Canadian regular season matchup, CBC is always biased for the eastern team (Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal). In a matchup vs. an American club, it depends on the history. CBC will usually show favour for clubs like Detroit and Colorado over any western Canadian team. It's actually quite rare to hear them so pro-Canucks.
The American media bias is far worse, and laughable. During events like the Olympics, I sometimes turn to the American coverage just for a laugh, as they trump up their own while displaying shock and dismay should someone else win.

The avs play with no heart, no grit, no determination. Roy is an old man, Colorado has NO DEPTH AT ALL, and Sakic and Forsberg were the only men on the ice doing anything whatsoever. The Canucks have the best fans in the game, they're young and have everything to prove.

You mean pro-Canadian teams? Sheesh, ESPN predicted the Wild as favorites for the series. CBC is a Canadian station so of course they'll slant to pro-Canada. You think the bias is with the Canucks though? What about Toronto? When the Leafs acquired Nolan, Cherry said "We finally got him!"
I'm glad Willie Mitchell is out for good, I hate that lil punk.. nobody elbows Naslund in the back of the head, cross checks Linden in the back of the neck, and lives. It was a clean hit too, he saw Bertuzzi coming and turned his back to him. The Canucks made contact at least 4 times before the refs called it, it was a total crowd-appeasing call.
