Ducks refuse to get shot, 3-2
Disappointing. This is the type of loss that's the most disappointing and the most disheartening. The Canucks played well the whole game, played better than the Ducks, and yet we still lose. I don't even remember how it happened, it all went too fast. I just know that we failed to clear the zone in the game winning goal.
What was funny was that, I pretty much predicted that Brent Sopel will be giving the puck away at that moment. When I saw him holding the puck, I just mentioned to my friend that "Now is not the good time to give the puck away, Sopel" and whaddya know? I was right. :D
I'm beginning to think LA gypped us in this trade after we let them sign Dan Cloutier for 2 years. I want that 2nd round pick back, please, and AV, bench Sopel. For good.
On a positive note, Markus Naslund scored the first goal of the game, extending his goal-scoring streak to 3 games. JS Giguere let out a huge rebound off Mattias Ohlund's point shot, and the puck went straight to Nazzy's stick and he just shot it in.
Brendan Morrison also scored his first goal of this playoffs on a nice backhand shot that fooled Giguere. He didn't play that good of a game, though, even if he scored that goal.
Anyway, I'm just tired and disappointed. We were leading 2-0 coming into the 3rd period and we just blew it. The tying goal hurt even more, especially when the refs didn't call that trip on Salo. Bleh.
To make my evening worse... I HATE THE FUCKING ASIAN FLUSH. God. I just drank 2 bottles of Smirnoff Ice and I'm already becoming RED. This is ridiculous. Now I'd be red for the next 3 days. ARGH.
I'll post pictures tomorrow.
And oh yeah? Selanne, I fucking hate you.
