Go Canucks Go!

Actually, one of them scored two goals....and got third star.

The TV analysts had been harping about how superb the referee-ing had been this series. Not so last night, IMO. The Kesler? interference call....well, the Blackhawk skated into him. Bad call. And there could have been a few more goalie interference calls too. In particular, when Bufflin (spelt how it sounds) tried taking off Lou's head with his lumber. A few crappy bounces, too. The Toews goal off of Edler's? skate. The crappy bounce behind the net, right on to Kane's stick for his second goal. And Kane's insurance goal, well that was a thing of beauty that Lou really had no chance on. I mean...he's following the shooter...what else is he supposed to do. Kane caught him by going the other way. If Lou can be faulted at all, I'd say it was the two (or three?) goals he let in glove side. His glove was weak last night. But then, where was the defense on some of those, too? Blackhawk allowed to waltz right in. Ohlund's pathetic check at the blueline. All in all, I think they played okay. Down 3-1 and fought back to take the lead. It's a tough one. A mix. They played well enough to win, but a mix of some lapses and bad bounces/breaks leads to tee time.
