Just got back from the game and it honestly was one of the worst playoff games I have been to. I haven't read another other posts but you can't only play one period and expect to win. The 5min penalty by Bitz was deserved I was sitting 15rows up in the corner and it was a nasty elbow to the head.
The issue is the Canucks have no speed coming out of the zone which lets the other team setup and force more turnovers. They sit back and wait and slowly move up the ice. You can't play NHL hockey that way you have to have quick transitions to catch the other team off guard so they make mistakes and then you capitalize. Just like Bure moved up the ice back in the hay day and look the chances and goals he scored.
That being said I was hella impressed with Lu today. He played like a champ and kept us in the game when it should of been over in the first period. This is the Lu of old and if the Canucks get their act together and Lu plays this way they are unstoppable.
LA did deserve to win because they played a great game and they kept there heads cool. Yes the ref's made bad calls no question they did but this is hockey fucken suck it up play your ass off and chances and goals will come. Bitching get's a team no where and just makes the ref's look harder for you to make a small hold/hook and they will call another.
