We have Ducks on the menu boys! 2-1 Canucks
Just some quick notes as I have a final tomorrow and I've studied.. ZILCH! DAMN YOU DOUBLE OVERTIME!
- Great game by the Canucks! I'd say this is the most complete game we've seen them play in the playoffs as they dominated the Ducks in every aspect of the game except in the powerplay. All lines were just good offensively and defensively, creating scoring chances, etc. Just great. Boys really showed a lot of determination and heart, and it really showed as they outplayed the Ducks. Ducks may have more "talent" on their roster on the Canucks, but with the Canucks playing a good team game, their talent barely had any chance.
- Markus Naslund scored a goal tonight, a nice wrist shot while he was falling down. Good steal from Pronger, too. He took 3 penalties after that goal, though, but really 2 of those 3 penalties were ridiculous. HI SELANNE, DIVE MUCH? WHY ARE YOU NOT WITH THE FINNISH NATIONAL DIVE TEAM? You'd win more gold medals that way. He also had that one giveaway which led to the game tying goal, but it wasn't a blatant giveaway wherein he passes it to a Ducks player, but he was pushed off the puck and well yeah. Still a good game from the captain.
- Cowan the Brabarian strikes again! I'm surprised none of the Canucks fans in the building threw any bras on the ice.. or maybe they did, CBC just didn't show that on TV. Good work Brabarian! Giguere should have that, but tough luck.
- Willie Mitchell is a monster. A very lovable monster for his teammates and fans, but a butt-ugly one for his opponents. Yes Willie, please knock Kunitz ugly mug out, but keep yourself healthy!
- Powerplay needs more work.
- Roberto Luongo is another MONSTER.
- Lukas Krajicek, and Alexander Edler both had awesome games on defense tonight. They unexpectedly had to step up since Willie was having injury problems, and they stepped way UP. Both had terrific games tonight and hope to see them continue playing like this when we need them.
Game 3 is at GM Place with a 5:00 pm PDT start time (WHYYYYYYYYYYYY?). Bring your zappers everyone!
