Mats Sundin was ready to play but he was a bit rusty in the game,but to the Canucks fans this is just the beginning.Mats Sundins Canucks came out with the 4-2 victory but Sundin did not get a point on the board as Steve Bernier and his linemates stole the show."Physically, I felt better than I was hoping. It's good to get that first game out of the way," said Sundin after the game at Rexall Place, which improved the Canucks' record to 22-15-5 and dropped the Oilers to 19-17-3.This game was Sundins first NHL game in 9 months. Sundin finished the game with 15 minutes of ice time over 24 shifts, no goals, no assists, no shots on net, one hit and nine for 18 on face-offs.He admitted his shot failed him."It's timing, where you come in and shoot, you jam yourself a little bit. And when you're trying to make a pass (it goes) over a stick," he said.Sundin will hope to go to the playoffs this year and compet for the Stanley Cup.
