Canucks' Roberto Luongo on 'emotional ride'

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Roberto Luongo shared his thoughts on why he wasn't moved on Wednesday's NHL trade deadline.

Luongo said his contract "sucks," adding it prevented any potential move from Vancouver.

"It's been an emotional ride the last year," he said. "It's more the unknown that has gotten to me more than anything else. I'm proud to be a Vancouver Canuck, I love it here, I love my teammates, and there's nothing wrong with that."

Wharnsby: Senators among trade deadline winners

Here's an assessment on where Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg stand after trade deadline day.

The Ottawa Senators upgraded, but for the most part, the other six teams were rather quiet on trade deadline day.

Now, in the next three-plus weeks, we'll see how many how many of the Canadian teams can advance to the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Here's an assessment on where Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto and Winnipeg stand after trade deadline day.

Calgary Flames

Calgary general manager Jay Feaster was put in an unenviable position when his owner Murray Edwards told his GM that he expects the Flames to make the playoffs next season.

Edwards, Feaster and others who have a voice, like club president Ken King, should have begun a major overhaul to this roster a year or two ago. In trading captain Jarome Iginla, defenceman Jay Bouwmeester and Blake Comeau over the past week, the Flames did not get enough in return to make a quick turnaround.

Feaster's cause also was hurt by the fact that veteran goalie Miikka Kiprusoff decided on Wednesday morning to stay put in Calgary with his family and newborn, rather than finish out the season with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Feaster will need one of the best off-seasons on record to appease his owner's wishes.

Edmonton Oilers

The Oilers finally are playing some meaningful games late in a season. GM Steve Tambellini's deadline acquisition of good face-off man Jerred Smithson from the Florida Panthers will help Edmonton, the worst face-off team in the league.

The Oilers decided in the end not to move defenceman Ryan Whitney, who is eligible to become and unrestricted free agent in the summer. Edmonton needs defencemen who can move the puck up to their young and talented forwards, and when Whitney is on his game he makes a good first pass.

Tambellini has put his faith in kids like Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Sam Gagner and Justin Schultz. They've won four in a row entering action on Wednesday. It will be interesting to see if they can continue to pile up victories and make a successful run at a playoff position.

Vancouver Canucks

A day after Ryane Clowe chose the New York Rangers over the Canucks, GM Mike Gillis could not unload goalie Roberto Luongo and his big fat contract. Gillis tried. He called the Maple Leafs three times with different deals in the final hour leading up to the trade deadline.

But let's face it, moving the 33-year-old Luongo was a longshot with nine years remaining on his contract and a salary cap hit of $5.33-million US, especially with the salary cap ceiling behind lowered to $64.3 million for 2013-14.

Gillis upgraded his roster significantly on Tuesday with the addition of Derek Roy. With Ryan Kesler due back in the next couple of weeks, the Canucks can begin to focus on the playoffs.

Maybe it's a good development that points have not come easy with this team this season. Maybe they will peak at the right time - in May and June.

Montreal Canadiens

Canadiens rookie general manager Marc Bergevin listened, but was not moved enough to make a deal on his first trade deadline day.

"[The trading period] started two months ago," Bergevin said. "It's not a period that is about having two days to make a trade.

"We added a few pieces over the last couple of months. We were always looking. Today, we looked. There was a lot of conversation, but at the end of the day, we're proud of what we have. Our goal is to make the playoffs, and we're in a great position to do that."

Bergevin improved his lineup with the additions of Michael Ryder and Jeff Halpern last month and increased his blue-line depth with Davis Drewiske on Tuesday.

Not many expected the second-place-in-the-East Canadiens to get back on track so swiftly. Now it's up the players who Bergevin has entrusted to finish strong and continue their success in the playoffs.

Ottawa Senators

Out of all the Canadian clubs, Senators GM Bryan Murray did the most to improve his team on Wednesday with his acquisition of top-six forward Cory Conacher from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for goalie Ben Bishop.

Conacher's production had tailed off this season. He had seven goals and 18 points in his first 19 games, and only two goals and six points in his last 16 outings. But his ice time was beginning to dwindle, too. He will increase the Senators skill level and add offence to a lineup that should get back Milan Michalek and Jared Cowen from injury later this month.

Toronto Maple Leafs

They added a depth defenceman in 28-year-old Ryan O'Byrne, who won a Calder Cup with the 2006-07 Hamilton Bulldogs, and was part of the Canadiens run to the East final three years ago.

Maple Leafs GM Dave Nonis tried to bring in some goalie depth with Kiprusoff. Nonis talked to Kiprusoff on Tuesday, but he didn't want to leave Calgary.

Nonis also rebuffed the Canucks attempts to unload Luongo for a high asking price.

The Maple Leafs have made tremendous strides under head coach Randy Carlyle and they have even been better since Joffrey Lupul's return eight games ago. Who knows, maybe they finish sixth and draw a weaker opponent in the Southeast Division winner, and actually win a round in their first visit to the playoffs since 2004.

Winnipeg Jets

The Jets needed to upgrade their sagging offence on deadline day. Instead, the only move they made was to pluck off waivers centre Mike Santorelli from the Florida Panthers.

The 27-year-old forward from Vancouver did score 20 goals a couple years ago for the Panthers, but this year he spent time in the AHL with a seven-game stint.

Santorelli was worth the risk. He's an effective shootout performer and there is the possibility he could play alongside Evander Kane.

In the end, Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff did plenty of investigating on Wednesday. But the price of a quick fix was deemed too high. Now it's up his players to end their four-game losing streak and make sure they hold onto to a playoff position.

Taylor Hall records 5 points as Oilers rout Flames

It's been a long time since the Edmonton Oilers played meaningful hockey games in April and Taylor Hall is loving it. It shows on the ice, too.

Hall had a goal and four assists Wednesday night as the Oilers made it five straight wins with a 8-2 rout of the reeling Calgary Flames.

"It's awesome," said Hall, who has 15 points in his last six games. "You don't really expect to win five games in a row but we have and it's put us in a great spot for the year."

It wasn't that long ago when the Flames dominated the provincial rivalry having won 16-of-17 games.

But Edmonton has been the better team lately, winning four of the last five including both ends of the recent home-and-home series to move them past the St. Louis Blues for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.

With 12 games to go, Edmonton sits eighth in the West, one point up on the Blues and the Nashville Predators. The Columbus Blue Jackets are two points back.

"It's a really good feeling on the bench, we feel like every shift is important and every goal that we get is huge for our squad. To be playing games like this, I think everybody's really relishing it," said Hall.

The Oilers are looking to make their first post-season appearance since going all the way to the Stanley Cup final in 2006, before losing in seven games to the Carolina Hurricanes.

Jordan Eberle and Nail Yakupov with two goals each, Sam Gagner, Ryan Whitney and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins also scored for Edmonton (16-13-7).

The Oilers, enjoying their longest winning streak since taking six in a row Oct. 22-Nov. 3, 2011, kicked off a four-game road trip that continues Thursday night in Vancouver.

"We have a lot of games in a lot of days and we have some really tough opponents coming up. We're going to have to be on our game and have better starts," said Hall.

Matt Stajan had both goals for Calgary (13-18-4). The Flames have lost seven of their last nine to remain second from the bottom in the West and 28th overall. Winless in its last 11 road games, Calgary begins a three-game road trip Friday in San Jose.

"That's not fun. As players in that room, that's embarrassing," Stajan said. "We wear that jersey every night in the NHL, we have to put in a better effort than that."

Tied 2-2 after one period, Edmonton seized control of the game in the second scoring three power-play goals in a span of just over six minutes.

Yakupov gave the Oilers the lead at 3:34, finding open space in the slot and one-timing Gagner's pass behind Joey MacDonald. It was his eighth goal of the season and second in as many games after going 16 games without a goal.

Hall scored his 13th at 7:39 and Nugent-Hopkins capped off the barrage at 9:51.

"We knew how important ever chance on the power play is, we wanted to get pucks to the net and make sure we had bodies there," said Hall. "Pucks ended up on guy's sticks and we put them in so it's nice to see. To be down 2-0 and win 8-2 is pretty cool."

The Oilers' high flying trio of Eberle, Hall and Nugent-Hopkins have combined for 32 points during Edmonton's winning streak.

"Not every night it goes like that. It was a lot of fun," said Nugent-Hopkins, who also had three assists. "Obviously it's been a few years rebuilding and we want to take that next step. We're ready to do that and all of us are excited about this opportunity we have."

Winners of eight of its last nine games at home, Calgary got off to a fast start grabbing a 2-0 lead less than six minutes into the game on Stajan's first goals in 19 games.

However, boosted by a strong turnout of boisterous Oiler jersey-wearing supporters, Edmonton quickly tied it.

"As players, you're frustrated and all that stuff, but there's no reason for that. Even though you're down, you have to play the same way and we didn't," said Flames defenceman Mark Giordano. "We played a soft game, we tried to make plays across the middle. It just comes down to, again, in our own zone, we were far from good enough."

MacDonald finished with 31 saves for the Flames, who gave Miikka Kiprusoff the night off after several days of having his name mentioned in trade rumours. Earlier in the day, he said he opted to stay in Calgary rather than accept a trade.

After getting beaten on two of the first three shots he faced, Devan Dubynk settled in for the Oilers, finishing the night with 19 saves.

Wharnsby: Leafs, Sens & Habs need little tinkering

With the 2013 NHL trade deadline fast approaching on Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET, we'll take a look at the situations with each of the four Canadian clubs in the Eastern Conference. Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver slipped into the hot seat on Monday.

With the NHL trade deadline at 3 p.m. ET, we'll take a look at the situations with each of the four Canadian clubs in the Eastern Conference. Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver slipped into the hot seat on Monday.

Montreal Canadiens

The Situation:

 The Canadiens have been a feel good story in going from worst last year to near first in the East this season. Do they really need to add additional pieces, especially since forward Rene Bourque and defenceman Raphael Diaz will likely return from their concussions later this month? ... They picked up defenceman Davis Drewiske from the Los Angeles Kings for a fifth-round choice on Tuesday, a player that will help the team's blue-line depth ... They could use size up front. But this doesn't appear to be a franchise that is in the mix for a short-term fix, especially with all the young talent they currently have on the NHL roster.

Playoff hopes:

 Second in the East, three points up on the Boston Bruins, who have a game in hand on the Habs. Montreal could wind up playing another Canadian team in the playoffs, which hasn't happened since they beat the Nordiques in the first round in 1993.

Schedule: 13 games remaining (six home, seven road)

At Home: Winnipeg, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, Washington.

On the Road: Philadelphia, Buffalo, Toronto, Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Winnipeg, Toronto. 

Restricted free agents: Ryan White, Mike Blunden, Yannick Weber.

Unrestricted free agents: Michael Ryder, Colby Armstrong, Jeff Halpern, Peter Budaj.

No-trade clauses: Brian Gionta, Josh Gorges, Andrei Markov (modified), Tomas Plekanec (modified), Rene Bourque (modified), Travis Moen (modified). 

Cap space: $3.84-million US (prorated)

On the farm: In the past few weeks we've seen auditions from Jarred Tinordi and Nathan Beaulieu as well as forward Gabriel Dumont. Dumont leads the Bulldogs in goals scored with 16 in 54 games. Beaulieu was demoted with the addition of Drewiske on Tuesday.

Ottawa Senators

The Situation: The remarkable Senators have survived despite losing star players like Jason Spezza, Erik Karlsson, Milan Michalek and Craig Anderson to injury for extended periods this season ... Ottawa is in a similar situation to Montreal in the sense that Jared Cowen, who underwent hip surgery last fall, Michalek and Anderson will return later this month ... There is, however, uncertainty surrounding a possible return of Spezza before the playoffs ... The Senators main candidate to be moved will be goalie Ben Bishop.

Playoff hopes: Fifth in the East, four points behind fourth-place Bruins. The Senators begin an important seven-game road trip in Boston Tuesday night because of the 2013 world women's championship.

Schedule: 13 games remaining (five home, eight road)

At Home: Carolina, Washington, Toronto, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia.

On the Road: Boston, Buffalo, Florida, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, New Jersey, Boston, Washington. 

Restricted free agents: Mike Hoffman, Erik Condra, Patrick Wiercioch, Ben Bishop. 

Unrestricted free agents: Daniel Alfredsson, Guillaume Latendresse, Peter Regin, Sergei Gonchar, Mike Lundin, Andre Benoit.

No-trade clauses: Jason Spezza, Chris Phillips, Erik Karlsson (limited), Sergei Gonchar (limited).

Cap space: $16.55-million US (prorated)

On the farm: Because of the injury epidemic in Ottawa, plenty of young talent got a look with the Senators this season. Forward Mike Hoffman is the latest to enjoy a stint in Ottawa. Twenty-year-old Shane Prince has enjoyed a fine rookie AHL season in Binghamton with 17 goals and 31 points in 57 games.

Toronto Maple Leafs

The Situation: The Maple Leafs emerged through some nervous times two weeks ago and have been much better (5-0-3) since the return of forward Joffrey Lupul from his broken forearm ... There is the possibility that Maple Leafs GM Dave Nonis will trade for Roberto Luongo from Vancouver or Miikka Kiprusoff from Calgary. But Nonis better be careful not to upset a team that has good chemistry right now.

Playoff hopes: Fifth in the East, tied with the Senators. But Ottawa has a game in hand entering Tuesday's action. The Maple Leafs are poised to end seven seasons of missing out on the playoffs.

Schedule: 12 games remaining (six home, six road)

At Home: Philadelphia, N.Y. Rangers, Montreal, New Jersey, N.Y. Islanders, Montreal.

On the Road: New Jersey, N.Y. Rangers, Washington, Ottawa, Tampa Bay, Florida. 

Restricted free agents: Nazem Kadri, Leo Komarov, Frazer McLaren, Carl Gunnarsson, Cody Franson, Mark Fraser.

Unrestricted free agents: Clarke MacArthur, Tyler Bozak, Colton Orr, Ryan Hamilton, Mike Kostka.

No-trade clauses: Mikhail Grabovski (limited), John-Michael Liles (modified).

Cap space: $7.56-million US (prorated)

On the farm: AHL Toronto Marlies captain Ryan Hamilton has been with the Maple Leafs for the past two weeks and had played well. The Maple Leafs strength on the farm is with defencemen Korbinian Holzer and Jesse Blacker. 

Winnipeg Jets

The Situation: Good thing the Jets play in the worst division in the NHL, the Southeast Division. Even though Winnipeg has dropped three in a row, neither the Carolina Hurricanes nor Washington Capitals have mounted much of a challenge ... The Jets have strong goaltending with Ondrej Pavelec, a decent defence, but beyond their top line of Bryan Little, Blake Wheeler and Andrew Ladd, and second-line right wing Evander Kane, there hasn't been any secondary offence ... The Jets rank 22^ndin goals for and could use another top-six forward.

Playoff hopes: Third in the East because they are first in the Southeast, four points clear of Carolina and Washington. The Hurricanes, however, have played three fewer games and the Capitals have two games in hand on Winnipeg.

Schedule: 11 games remaining (seven home, four road)

At Home: Philadelphia, Buffalo, Florida, Tampa Bay, Carolina, N.Y. Islanders, Montreal.

On the Road: N.Y. Islanders, Montreal, Buffalo, Washington. 

Restricted free agents: Blake Wheeler, Bryan Little, Alex Burmistrov, Patrice Cormier, Eric Tangradi, Anthony Peluso, Zach Bogosian, Zach Redmon, Paul Postma, Arturs Kulda.

Unrestricted free agents: Nik Antropov, Kyle Wellwood, Antti Miettinen, Ron Hainsey, Al Montoya.

No-trade clauses: Miettinen, Ladd (modified), Olli Jokinen (modified), Nik Antropov (modified), Dustin Byfuglien (limited), Ron Hainsey (limited).

Cap space: $12.44-million US (prorated)

On the farm: The Jets signed 2012 first-round choice, defenceman Jacob Trouba, on Tuesday. He decided to leave the University of Michigan to turn pro. He played well for the gold-medal winning United States world junior team...Maybe it's worth taking a look at 22-year-old centre Eric O'Dell. The second-year pro, who played his junior with the Sudbury Wolves, has 25 goals in 50 games, which is tied for ninth in the AHL.

Blue Jays fall to Indians in home opener

The Rogers Centre was sold out, there was a rock star in the house and R.A. Dickey's knuckleball was dancing.

All the ingredients seemed to be present under the dome for an Opening Day launch befitting the retooled Blue Jays.

But Cleveland pitcher Justin Masterson kept the Jays bats in check and shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera made key plays on defence and offence as the Indians spoiled Dickey's Toronto debut with a 4-1 win before an Opening Day crowd of 48,857 on Tuesday night.

"I know they're all disappointed," Toronto manager John Gibbons said of the fans. "We're not. That's part of baseball. We just got outplayed tonight. But they'll be back. We've got a good ball club. They'll be back. They'll have a fun, entertaining year this year, I believe."

Still the loss may be a splash of cold water on the face of Toronto fans already planning a championship parade given the extensive, expensive roster remake over the winter. Cleveland planted a few seeds of reality under the dome but there is still plenty of the time for the Jays to harvest wins.

'We've got a good ball club. They'll be back. They'll have a fun, entertaining year this year, I believe.'— Blue Jays manager John Gibbons

Cabrera hit a two-run homer for the Indians, who took advantage of some early passed balls as Dickey's fledgling partnership with catcher J.P. Arencibia showed some teething problems.

Dickey (0-1) went six innings in his first Opening Day start, giving up four runs (three earned) on five hits with four strikeouts, four walks and a wild pitch. He threw 104 pitches, including 60 strikes.

"Tonight was a real special night for me," Dickey said. "Sure because it was an Opening Night but the welcome I got from the fans was borderline supernatural. I mean it was pretty awesome. And again, deep down you want so badly to give them a great show and you want to entertain them and you want to pitch a one-hitter and all of that.

"But I think everybody that came tonight understands that we've got a pretty good ballclub and the season is not won or lost on Opening Night."

Adrenalin may have accounted for his knuckleball dancing too much, he suggested.

"Early on, in particular, it was moving pretty violently at the plate and you saw that manifested in J.P. struggling with it a little bit," said Dickey, who went six innings for a 16th consecutive start dating back to last season with the Mets.

Toronto hitters dominated

Masterson (1-0) struck out five and walked four while giving up one earned run and three hits in his six innings. His pitch count was close to Dickey's: 103 pitches, 61 strikes. Indians closer Chris Perez earned the save.

The Indians starter said it took a while to get his mechanics right since he was "pushing" the sinker at times

"So once I was able to get that arm sliding and get through the ball, I was able to throw balls harder and in essence it makes it look like I was stronger as the game went on," he explained. "I just felt more comfortable within my mechanics. It was great. Guys were making some great plays behind me too. It was a good solid team effort today."

Toronto left five on base over the first three innings and then Masterson found his touch — he dismissed 11 in a row starting in the third. Some sharp Cleveland fielding also helped blunt the Toronto attack.

The Jays' starting lineup featured five newcomers: shortstop Jose Reyes, outfielder Melky Cabrera, third baseman Maicer Izturis, second baseman Emilio Bonifacio and Dickey. The quintet is due to make US$28.85 million this season.

The five are among 11 new faces on the Jays' 25-man revamped roster this season, boosting total payroll to north of $125 million.

The Indians also boasted a new look with manager Terry Francona and free agent signings Nick Swisher, Michael Bourn and Mark Reynolds.

Francona savoured the win.

"I was so nervous the whole game. It surprised me," he said. "I think I kind of came to realize early in the game how much I care about these guys already. It hit me like a ton of bricks and I was a nervous wreck, which hopefully will go away — hopefully not the caring part but the nervous part — because I went through three things of tobacco. My tongue is like four sizes too big right now."

Rush rock star Geddy Lee threw out the first pitch on a night that felt more like a playoff game than the season opener with an enthusiastic pompon-waving crowd. The first chant of "Let's go Blue Jays" echoed before the anthems,

The sellout crowd made for some good viewing later, with a lower bowl section moving in unison — like a wheat field in the wind — to evade a foul ball whipped low into the stands. But the Indians did their bit to quell the fans.

Dickey and Masterson both took their time finding their rhythm. Dickey, the 2012 NL Cy Young Award-winner was throwing in the high 70s m.p.h. while Masterson was in the mid-90s.

Dickey, who came out to his beloved "Star Wars" music, opened with a ball that eluded Arencibia. The catcher had three passed balls on the night.

"Sometimes you throw a good knuckleball, nobody's catching it," said Dickey. "It's just the way it is. But those happen once every couple of games. We'll fix it. He's going to be fine."

Catching the knuckleball is challenging more than frustrating, said Arencibia. Misses have to be put behind you.

"Because there's going to be pitches that he throws that no one could have caught — unless you have a fish net that's for large fish, it's not going to e an easy ball to catch," he said.

Gibbons didn't blame his catcher, noting that his offence provided just one run. But he said Arencibia and Henry Blanco would both catch Dickey during the season.

The Jays knuckleballer had No. 3 hitter Jason Kipnis so twisted in knots in the first inning that he let go of his bat during a swing and it landed in the second row behind the Jays dugout. A Toronto fan brandished it menacingly at the Indian second baseman, who was loudly cheered moments later as he struck out.

Masterson opened with a bit of everything: walking a batter and hitting one but escaped unharmed thanks to a double play and strikeout.

Cleveland went ahead in the second, courtesy of a single by Michael Brantley, two passed balls and a fielder's choice by Lonnie Chisenhall. Drew Stubbs then singled in Reynolds, who had got on base via a walk, to make it 2-0.

Toronto had men on second and third with two outs in the bottom of the second but Reyes grounded out.

Dickey managed a 1-2-3 inning in the third, although his infield had to be on its toes to make it happen.

Melky Cabrera scored in the third to cut the lead to 2-1 but the Jays could have had more, given they had the bases loaded and no one out thanks to a Cabrera single and a pair of walks. But Asdrubal Cabrera made a nice reflex stop on Adam Lind to trigger a double play — with Melky Cabrera scoring — and Masterson then struck out Arencibia to put out the fire.

Asdrubal Cabrera showed his offensive skills in the fifth, slamming Dickey's 79th pitch of the night over the right-field fence with Bourn aboard to increase Cleveland's lead to 4-1.

"They played a heck of a game. They pitched really well," said Gibbons. "It turned into the Asdrubal Cabrera show, to be honest with you. The big double play he turned could have been a game changer, it was early in the game. And then of course the big home run there. But they shut us down pretty good."

Dickey gave way to Aaron Loup, Sergio Santos and Brett Cecil. Joe Smith, Vinne Pistano and Perez followed Masterson.

"Our bullpen held the game in check. We just couldn't really get anything going against their pitching. They were really good tonight," said Gibbons.

Toronto had won six of its previous eight openers, including the last two. Cleveland, in contrast, had lost four straight and eight of its last 10.

2013 Toronto Blue Jays vs. 1993 Toronto Blue Jays

With the Toronto Blue Jays' overhauled roster getting set to hit the diamond for the start of the regular season next week, many fans are dreaming of a return to the post-season and perhaps even a World Series championship for the first time since the team won its second consecutive title in 1993.

But how do the 2013 Jays stack up to their 1993 counterparts?

Is Jose Bautista a better outfield slugger than Joe Carter? R.A. Dickey a superior Opening Day starting pitcher to Jack Morris? Adam Lind a more reliable first baseman than John Olerud? (OK, some matchups are easier to call than others).

Judge for yourself by comparing the 2013 and 1993 Blue Jays, position by position, with this interactive graphic from The Canadian Press:
