Canucks Vs Ducks

Canucks are lookng solid so far. Couple of fights. Lots of hitting. Canucks seem to be controlling the play for the most part. Once Sbisa and Fowler develop Anaheim is going to be really good again. Sedins look good, as always, and Kesler and the checking line are playing well. If they can keep tabs on Getzlaf, Perry and Ryan, the will be in good shape to win this. Backwith more when the game is over.

Hamhuis gets caught trying to pick up his stick. Ugly play. 2-2. Lupul capitalized almost immediately. That guy is such a mystery. He seems to be a 1st liner sometimes, but then he gets hurt, or hits a slump. Must be frustrating for his coaches. Canucks have hit a few posts. They reall need to get a goal here. McElhinney is in nets. We need a win here. C'mon boys.

And there it is, the inevitable Teemu Selanne goal against the Canucks. He always scores against Vancouver!!! Dammit. If he ever got traded to Chicago, I'd have to personally break his legs. Canucks are going to need a big 3rd period.

Bad penalty call on Tambellini leads to another Ducks goal. Refs immediately give them a make up call. How about you just don't call the first one refs? McElhinney has been goaltending like he drank a bunch of Tabasco. Huge stops.

4-3.. Canucks score. McElhinney is cut. Bleeding all over the place. Got hit in the mask. Hiller is going in. This should be an interesting end to the 3rd period.

There it is! Tied at 4! Great effort by Kesler. MacMillan shoved Erhoff into the boards from behind. Karma instantly jumps back at Anaheim. Should be a great OT.

End to end OT. Perry took a really stupid penalty. Almost cost them. Kesler almost got the hattrick with a mid air shot right at the buzzer.

Eurotrash skills comp is up. Weak.

Luongo forces the Ducks to beat themselves and Tambellini scores.What a beaut Tambellini is turning out to be. Would have been very very easy to lose that game. Gutsy effort to go get the two points. Kesler brings it and the Canucks are tough to stop. Even with the great Anaheim goaltending and the posts they hit, they managed to win. Defence looked very very good. Ballard is playing well. Hamhuis too. If they get Salo back and he can get up to speed for the playoffs that top 6 D is going to be very very solid.

Well, it's off to bed for this east coast Canucks fan. It's bloody freezing in here! Go Canucks Go!
