Nucks Skill Competition

[Inder]

Went today with my cousins and pally's siblings to the skill comp. It was pretty good. Got tickets 20th row and saw the lighter side of nucks and sports.

Here are some of the winners....

Rookie Luc Bourdon edged out a tough field to earn fastst skater honours. Time of 14.389 seconds.

Reigning powerhouse Sami Salo won it again.This time the cannon was clocked at 100.0 MPH.

The accuracy competition proved a bit of a surprise as newcomer Rory Fitzpatrick unseated dead-eye Daniel Sedin. Fitz hit four out of five targets.

Pyatt stole the puck control crown beating out Markus Naslund and Jan Bulis with a surprising diplay of stick and skate co-ordination.

Roberto Luongo beat out back-up Dany Sabourin in the puck stopping derby with a respectable 20-for-24.

I'd have gone but I gotta study .... Ive never been too interested in the team skills competitions but the all star one is usually pretty good (better than the homerun derby).

LOL that was funny picture of rookies. Best part was when burrows and daniel (I think it was them) skated towards savereign together to screen him, with tthe third guy who had the puck behind. When they got close, burrows put his leg up and the guy put it under his leg up over saberiegns shoulder. it was funny
