Game 5 VAN/SJ from 2011 was on last night. The proper CBC broadcast, too, none of this Versus bullshit.
I still maintain that of all the games played that spring, Game 5 vs SJ was Luongo’s finest that spring. 50+ saves as the Sharks fought for their lives. The game really was rather one sided with the exception of the Sedins Line, which was dominant every time they were on the ice. Everyone else got caved in at even strength, and the fourth line (Glass/Oreskovich/Hodgson) didn’t see another shift after the 2nd period.
Was also a fun flashback to young Chris Tanev demonstrating early on what a solid young defender he would be. Cool as a cucumber and really controlled the puck well. He and Ballard played respectably together.
