It finally happened. Mats Sundin graced the hockey world with his presence by debuting as a member of the Vancouver Canucks during tonight’s game against the Edmonton Oilers. I joked that he was waiting for the planets to be aligned and, well, maybe it happened for the guy since the Nucks beat the Oilers 4-2.

The veteran centre hadn’t dressed for a game since the end of last season so it’s been a good nine months since he played and he looked pretty good.  It wasn’t anything explosive tonight but I’m curious to see what he brings to the table in the next little while…
