Pavel Bure didnt make it back to Vancouver for a reunion of the 1994 Canucks team earlier this week, but hes well aware of the excitement that is gripping the city. The Russian Rocket lived it himself 17 years ago and is hoping the current version of the Canucks can accomplish what he and his teammates failed to. "Definitely Im going to watch that final and I wish for them to win the Cup," Bure said Friday from Miami. Now 40 and eight years into his retirement from the NHL, Bure still keeps tabs on the league. Hes followed this years playoffs closely from his living room in Florida and believes the Canucks have the proper makeup to win a championship. Its a different situation than the 94 team faced in a final against the heavily favoured New York Rangers. "We were underdogs all the way," said Bure. "Obviously right now its totally different. I think theyre the favourite because they won the Presidents Trophy by quite a few points, not just a little bit. "They were the favourites even going to the playoffs and so far theyre doing really well." Vancouvers deep playoff run has brought back memories of the magical spring of 1994, when Bure and his teammates erased a 3-1 deficit in the first round against Calgary before dispatching Dallas and Toronto on the way to a heartbreaking seventh-game loss to the Rangers in the Stanley Cup final. The little team that could seemed to pick up steam with each passing game. Bure believes the turning point came in Game 5 of the opening round against the Flames. "When (the series) was 3-1 and we went to the overtime, I guess we had nothing to lose," said Bure. "We relaxed and we came together as a team. We won that game and we started to believe a little bit; we went to overtime again (in Game 6) and we won; and then there was double overtime (in Game 7) and we won that." The series-clincher came on a vintage Bure play, where he deftly slipped behind the defence and beat Mike Vernon on a breakaway for one of 16 goals hed score that post-season. It gave Vancouver some swagger. "After that, everybody was playing above their level I think," said Bure. "We were a really close team, had a huge belief in ourselves and I just remember sitting in the dressing room: `OK, we tied the game and for sure were going to win. "We just had some much confidence, you know?" They rode that right until the dying minutes of Game 7 against the Rangers, who edged Vancouver 3-2 to end a 54-year Stanley Cup drought. Bure was just 23 then, but he would only be part of two more teams that qualified for the playoffs -- never again getting past the second round. Even still, he doesnt live with regret about what could have been in 1994. "Obviously, everybody wants to win and not all the time its going your way," said Bure. "We cant change the past. What happened, happened." While the Russian plans to watch the Stanley Cup final closely, he wont attend any of the games. Bure has kept a low profile since he was forced out of hockey by chronic knee injuries in 2003. He continues to support the NHLPAs Goals & Dreams program and makes occasional appearances on behalf of that cause, but otherwise shies away from the spotlight. "Maybe Ive had enough so far in my life and I just want to take a break from the public eye," said Bure. "Im just comfortable with myself, with my family, with my friends and thats how I want to keep it for now. "You never know -- maybe one day Ill want to go back in the public eye. Just not at this point." Cheap Jerseys China . "I didnt really understand the magnitude of what it meant until that moment: skating out there in front of 19-20,000 people, flags flying everywhere," Nieuwendyk said.

An in-person hearing means there is a possibility any suspension could be five games or more.

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The final week in the topsy-turvy Pacific Division will be like a game of musical chairs. With a fast start against a tired Dallas team, the San Jose Sharks took temporary possession of one of those coveted playoff spots while leaving the Stars on the outside looking in for now. Joe Pavelski scored two goals, Antti Niemi earned his sixth shutout of the season and the Sharks moved back into playoff position by beating Dallas 3-0 on Saturday night. "They earned the right to enjoy it right now," Sharks coach Todd McLellan said about his players. "Tomorrow its back to work, and lets keep our focus. I talked before about not letting your guard down, and we have in the past. Lets keep it up. We know well have a tougher game in Dallas than we had here tonight." Jason Demers also scored for the Sharks, who rebounded from losses at Anaheim and Phoenix to close within one point of Pacific Division-leading Los Angeles and Phoenix with three games remaining, including a return trip to Dallas on Tuesday night. "It was the biggest game of the year for us," said captain Joe Thornton, who had two assists. "We started well and I thought we competed hard all the way through. Good job by us tonight." The Stars were thoroughly outplayed for a second straight night and have gone from leading the Pacific Division heading into Fridays 5-2 loss at Vancouver to being out of the playoff picture one night later. Dallas trails eighth-place San Jose by one point for the final post-season spot and is two points out of the division lead. The Stars dropped to 1-11-2 in the back end of back-to-backs but can get back into playoff position when these teams meet in the rematch. To do it, they will have to play much better than they did in San Jose when they lost for the fourth time in five games to the Sharks this season. "Its probably three wins or nothing for us now," captain Brenden Morrow said. "It is nice to get them again so soon. But if we do what we did tonight were not going to get the result we want." San Jose got a goal in the opening minute of the game, a second late in the first period and never looked back. Pavelski put the Sharks firmly in control when he tipped Marc-Edouard Vlasics point shot past Kari Lehtonnen midway through the second period to make it 3-0.dddddddddddd Niemi did the rest, making 22 saves for his 19th career shutout. The Sharks won all three home games against Dallas, outscoring the Stars 13-4 in the contests. They have won just five of 16 games against the rest of the division, a major reason why they are in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time since 2002-03. San Jose has a home-and-home against Los Angeles after the trip to Dallas and might need to win two of those remaining three games to make it back to the post-season. After being held to just one goal in the back-to-back losses at Anaheim and Phoenix, the Sharks got off to a fast start in front of a boisterous home crowd. Just 58 seconds into the game, Thornton found Pavelski coming down the slot with a perfect feed and Pavelski one-timed it past Lehtonen. "The last few games weve had so many good looks. Not just decent scoring chances but it feels like open nets," Pavelski said. "Everyone knew the importance of the game and it was exciting to have the crowd into it like a playoff game because thats what it was." Both teams had good chances for a second goal with Michael Ryders attempt at an open net for Dallas deflecting off defenceman Justin Brauns stick and into the crowd, and Patrick Marleau hitting the post for San Jose. But San Jose finally converted on its third power play of the period when Marty Havlat delivered a pinpoint pass to Demers, who came in from the point on the backside and knocked in his third goal of the season with 1:22 left in the first. "They got the jump and set us back a little bit right away," Dallas coach Glen Gulutzan said. "We have a big game with these guys on Tuesday and our fate is in our hands. Its got to be the mindset of do or die." Notes: San Jose F Logan Couture has matched a career-long drought by going 10 games without a goal. ... Thornton has 11 points in five games against Dallas this season. ... Sharks D Douglas Murray missed his second straight game with a lower-body injury. ... Dallas D Mark Fistric returned after missing five games with an abdominal strain and C Toby Petersen played after being a healthy scratch for 15 straight games. C Tom Wandell sat out again with an illness. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
