Dallas Stars' scorers need to start scoring in series versus Vancouver Canucks: "Vancouver's offence was dragging for the first 30-plus minutes of that game, so coach Alain Vigneault changed up his top line, pairing Nasland with the Sedin twins. He also hooked up Jan Bulis and Jannik Hansen; that combination produced the tying goal in the third period, when the Canucks fired off 15 shots to only four by Dallas. "
I think Jaime Aron has hit the nail on the head. The Canucks were slow for the first two periods but brought a lot of intensity to the third period and set things right. This is the way this team needs to play if they wish to go to the Stanley Cup finals. I want to see a lean, mean hungry machine of a team out there every game. Hitting hard, fighting in the corners and out skating the other team. The third period was one of the best periods of play I have seen from the Canucks in this series so far and this is the type of play that will give them a chance at the cup.
7 periods, what a game. Louie was just getting his playoff legs for the first three periods but he shut down the Stars for the last four periods and stopped
72 of 76 shots. 76 shots in one game; what a way to start your first ever NHL Stanley Cup play off series.
This looks to be one very exciting series and I can not wait to see the next game on Friday.
