Of all the breaks that went the Vancouver Canucks’ way in the final three games of their playoff series against the Los Angeles Kings, none was bigger than a fortuitous crack in Mikael Samuelsson’s stick. When Samuelsson’s lumber snapped on a shot that sent the puck trickling meekly toward the net, Daniel Sedin(notes) was in perfect position to pounce. His late goal sent the Canucks into the second round on a wave of confidence in their talented twins’ top line, which is making its own good luck. Sedin scored the tiebreaker with 2:03 to play, and the Canucks rallied from another third-period deficit to finish off Los Angeles with a 4-2 victory in Game 6 Sunday night. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/recap;_ylt=Ak1.Iq9ickpaZKF0QwlSXvB7vLYF?gid=2010042508
