The Missing Powerplay

Stanley Cup Playoffs
Semi Finals
Game # 3
Series 2-1 Ducks

Canucks 2
Ducks 3

The Canucks had every oppurtunity to win this one. If only they could make the most of their powerplays. We did manage to score one goal on the Powerplay, so there is still Hope. Naslund potted a garbage goal to tie the game at one. The Canucks never led this game, always trailed, but i give them kudos for coming back to tie it up every period. If they had had a few extra seconds in the game, they might have tied it up again.

Perry Powers Ducks past the Canucks this night though. Luongo made some good saves tonight, but he dropped the ball on the first goal. Which is okay - Naslund scored on the powerplay to even it at 1. The Second anaheim goal was scored on a Markus Naslund Penalty - gee thanks Naslund. If you could only score as often as you take penalities, we would be in good shape. Daniel Sedin bailed us out - yes a Sedin scoring in the series. But on a delay of game penalty on Burrows for clearing the puck over the glass, Perry wasted no time in making the Canucks pay. I hate that penalty call. The Canucks never gave up, but they just couldn't beat Giguere.

Better luck next game ! Hopefully !!!!
