The Canucks had the run of play in the first as well. There were really only a couple of minutes, outside of the long penalty stretches, that the Rangers were playing as good as the Canucks. they had such sustained pressure all night and it was amazing to watch.
I thought the Rangers were the better team in the first but the Canucks played better the rest of the game and OT. Definitely deserved a better fate but thats the way she goes sometimes.
