Canucks' Daniel Sedin has MRI on leg; team recalls Archibald

The Vancouver Canucks' season is over.

Just ask their fans and the Vancouver media who have been lamenting the season since it began, what with imperialist John Tortorella taking the reigns on the bench mixed with a myriad of injury that currently has the Canucks on the outside looking in as far as the eight seeds in the Western Conference playoff race.

It's only by two points, mind you, but it may as be a hundred as forward Daniel Sedin has gone down with what was first classified as a hamstring tweak, but now is believed to be more serious as the winger was scheduled for an MRI on Monday.

Sedin was slammed into the end boards on a clean check by defenseman Mark Methot in Sunday's bad loss to the Ottawa Senators on Sunday and left the playing surface favoring his left leg - Vancouver eventually dropping the 4-2 decision while blowing a 2-0 advantage.

It is feared that Sedin's injury will have him out for three weeks, or may even be done for the regular season, though since he has been mired in a horrible scoring slump, many will tell you that his season was already over.

Scoring no goals in 22 consecutive games and helping on just five in the same span is cause for concern when a player is projected to be a scoring leader on the team, and has many wondering if he had been limited by an injury already.  Regardless, speculation of a more serious injury has arisen since the Canucks' recalled Darren Archibald from AHL Utica to take his spot on the roster.

The results of the MRI were not immediately available.
