Captain Canuck
Stanley Cup Playoffs
Quarter Finals
Game 7
Canucks 4
Stars 1
Unbelievable !!! Captain Canuck was the difference
The second period, was unbelievable, the turnaround on the Canucks team. They took control of the game and never looked back. Outshooting the Stars , and finally capitalizing on their powerplay. Somehow, someway Henrik Sedin was all alone in front of Turco, Bingo, Bango a pass from Daniel, the game is tied. A beauty of a goal, and just what the fans at GM Place needed to boost the noise !! Going into the Third, the Canucks maintained their strong play. Getting alot of help from some key powerplays at certain points in the game. At one point, even a 5 on 3 advantage. In all this Luongo, made some key saves keeping the game tied, until his team could once again capitalize on the POwerplay. This time, it was Captain Canuck, Trevor Linden who tipped a Mattias Ohlund slapshot past Marty Turco, for what turned out to be the game winner. Two empty net goals, by Pyatt, and Smolinski iced the victory for the canucks. For the first time in years, the Canucks advance past the first round, and are headed to the Semi Finals versus Anaheim. Alain Vigneault in his first year as Head coach of the Canucks, has done what Marc Crawford in his years with the Canucks could not do - win a playoff round. For the first time since 1995, the Canucks have advanced to the second round.
So here's to you, Dallas homers , I hate to break it to you, but YOU WERE WRONG !!!! The Canucks advance, and the Stars go home. Turco played great, but when it came down to it, he was just no match for CAPTAIN CANUCK.
Canucks face the Ducks Wednesday night for Game 1 of the Semi Finals
GO CANUCKS GO !!

Unbelievable !!! Captain Canuck was the difference
Captain Canuck, and Roberto Luongo. Going into this game - I must admit, I was worried. After listening to the radio all day, and hearing everyone be so down on the Canucks, i thought it would take a miracle for them to win this game. I dont know if they found the miracle, or if they just somehow managed to find a way. Either way, I'm not complaining. !!!
The Canucks did not help themselves by taking a penalty early in the first period, but they managed to kill it. It was typical Canucks, Stars hockey - kinda wait and see approach !! Dallas scored first, I was worried. End of the first period, Canucks trailing 1-0. Knowing how Dallas plays with the lead, I was stressed going into the second.
