Boo-Fuckin-Ya
Canucks beat Dallas in Game Seven!
After the first period, I admit I was feeling a little dismayed. The good-guys just could not get a handle on the puck in the first period. Maybe game-seven-nerves, whatever.... the first period was one of the most embarrassing moments in Canucks history.
The second and third periods were close to brilliant for the Canucks. During the last two periods the Canucks kept the Stars on the ropes. Many offensive chances turned into many power-play opportunities for the good guys.
And on this note, Roberto Luongo is every Canucks fan's dream. I could not help but think through the entire game, "what if that was Dan Cloutier"? Roberto is my new hero.
Speaking of heroes, Naslund was looking like his old self in the third period, and taking control of the game again. Hopefully we'll see more of that as the playoffs progress.
It's also nice to see all the former Manitoba Moose players, like Alex Burrows and Kevin Bieksa kicking ass in "the big show". Randy Carlyle was brilliant with the Moose, and is still brilliant with the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. I can't wait for Wednesday!
