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.
