Pyatt Riot

2006/2007 Stanley Cup Playoffs
Game # 3
Series : 2-1 Canucks

Canucks 2
Stars 1
overtime


Another game that Luongo kept them in it, until they could get going. After Stu Barnes scored on a deflection for Dallas, the Canucks seemed to wake up and realize there was a game to be won here. The last half of the game, the Canucks really took it to the Stars, and in the third were rewarded by a goal. Jan Bulis, with assists by Jannick Hansen and Brendan Morrison tied the game at 1. The Canucks had loads of energy in the 3rd, outshooting the stars, and having a few good scoring chances. Turco played well.

Overtime - I was thinking to myself, "was this gonna be another marathon?" Luckily, it wasn't. just under 8 minutes in, Taylor Pyatt, scored his first NHL Playoff goal, with assists by Bryan Smolinski, and Trevor Linden, and the Canucks win it 2-1.



It will be interesting to see which line starts game 4. Will Naslund be playing with the Sedins. They all by themselves swung the momentum their way when Vigneault started juggling lines. The other lines, picked up on it, and thus bulis scored, and Pyatt ended it in OT.
