Despite the support of dog nation, the Canucks beat themselves last night with a less than stellar effort in the biggest game of the year. Sure by halfway through the 3rd period, they were rolling ... a bit ... Burrows (the Uni-brower), sniper of 2 goals this year (and half a dozen disallowed markers) jammed one home to give us life - enough where we knew one of the lads would come through in Overtime like so many times before in this the "season of one goal games," right? Someone *will* score.
We all made our picks but no one chose what happened - shoot, the shooter was heading to the bench unaware he'd scored. Luongo knows what happened, he won't forget for quite some time.
So now is the time we seek positives to take away - i spieled on this for much time last night in my post-Neidermeyer haze - but the "isn't it super how we did better than expected" feeling is settling in my belly like a Denny's hangover breakfast - a bit queasy now but should absorb the poison ... eventually.
