Canucks Prevail In Game 7

Archived from 2002-03 season.
Trevor Linden had a goal and an assist as the Vancouver Canucks completed their comeback from a 3-1 series deficit to knock off the St. Louis Blues 4-1 Tuesday night.

"We started seeing it in their eyes here in Game 5," said Canucks captain Markus Naslund, who scored for the fourth straight game. "It felt like they were wearing down and started getting tired and we just got stronger."

Brendan Morrison also had a goal and an assist for Vancouver, which hosts the Minnesota Wild on Friday in Game One of the conference finals.

"It feels great, especially the way we did it," said Canucks goalie Dan Cloutier, who made 33 saves. "Down 3-1 to battle back, we stick with it and here we are moving on to the second round -- and what a great feeling it is."

Martin Rucinsky scored the lone goal for St. Louis, which squandered a three games to one lead for the first time in its history.

"When you're up three games to one, you expect to win one of them," said Blues goalie Chris Osgood. "It's stunning for us to take right now. It was right there for us and it's difficult to take."
