Wow..still cant believe the Canucks pulled that off last night.
Its really irksome to me, that after you draft , and put 5 years of your resources into a player (Demko)..You'll be faced with the reality of having him plucked at the expansion draft...Or, the decision of having to trade him before that...That really bites.
I don't think the Canucks could possibly go into game 6 with the same gameplan as game 5..Getting severely outshot, and getting nothing going on the rush is not a recipe for success...Also, the PP has really gone into the dumpster.
Interestingly enough..against St Louis, we tried to accelerate the tempo, to avoid the Blues setting up in our zone, and playing the heavy ,half court game..Conversely, against Vegas, we're hanging on for dear life, trying to match their pace and speed.
On the whole.. I cant complain..I'm happy the farther we can take this thing...Isn't there a stat, that says that the team that wins game 5..wins the series 78% of the time?
