Game 2 Review: Canucks 4 Blackhawks 3: Canucks Lead Series 2-0

Well it wasn't the prettiest of wins but Vancouver managed to get it done. It was almost a case of deja-vu with the Canucks up 2-0 in the 2nd period until the 14:50 mark when some Blackhawk schmo named Ben Smith finally solved Roberto Luongo after Lou failed to grasp his glove on a shot in close, giving up a juicy rebound for Smith to take advantage of.  Even so, Alex Edler blasted home a slapper 5:00 later late in the 2nd period to make it 3-1 Canucks heading into the 2nd intermission. When Viktor Stalberg fired a wrister past Lou about 2:00 into the 3rd there may have been some panic out there until Daniel Sedin worked and weaved his magic in Chicago's zone and wristed in the 4-2 nail in the coffin to seal the deal.

Not the greatest game by Luongo. But his mates, especially the top line came to his aid on this one. And so Vancouver shows its depth once again. Daniel Sedin scored 2 goals and 1 assist. Hank and Burrows had 1 assist each.

Alain Vigneault continues to roll his 4 lines seemingly more than normal while Coach Q plays the hell out of Toews-Kane-Hossa, who combined 4 a piddly 1 assist and 4 shots tonight. They are getting checked to hell and I love it.

Star-divide


Sure, Chicago had some push back tonight but not enough to convincingly make a statement that they want to win this series. Time will tell. What does home ice do for the Hawks? The pressure is solely on them to win both home games to go back to Vancouver 2-2. A tall task.

-Toews has 1 goal and no assists in his last 9 games.

-Marian Hossa is a -3 with no points in the first 2 games of the series.

-Patrick Kane has 1 assist, 4 shots and is a +1 with 2 Van hookers and 10 snorts of coke in his arsenal so far. Yay??

-Jannik Hansen..OH MY!!!

-Alexander Edler: A killer! Beauty hit on Kane in period 1. Why isn't it on YouTube?

In all seriousness, the Hawks will push even harder at home. They had better. Luongo wasn't even that sharp tonight and the Canucks still put them away. Kudos to our boys for getting the job done.

the best part of this is that next game the canucks get to reach into their duffel and pull out the human bowling ball that is raffi torres. he’s so perfect for this fast, physical series and i would pay a very large sum of money to see him come down the boards to stop kane mid-cycle. and by stop i mean stop his heart from beating.

just imagine what this series would have been with manny winning draws and freeing kesler up for some more offense… miss you man.

Alain Vigneault continues to roll his 4 lines seemingly more than normal

I hadn’t bothered to check the numbers, but it seems to me he’s playing the 3rd and 4th lines a lot more than in the regular season. It’s odd, since I thought he’d do the opposite once the playoffs rolled around… but I like it! The bottom 6 have been very effective.

I don’t think it’s any coincidence that it’s the same night he makes a point of staring someone down. It was a blatant and unnecessary f-u. As long as he’s playing well I have no problem with it but the goal off his glove and the missed stahlberg goal speak to a slight lack of focus.

Hopefully Lu and Rollie

Have a good talk after that one. He looked pretty shaky after that Stalberg goal, especially with the rebound to Smith on the third one. That being said, there were some horrible defensive breakdowns on those goals.
1 – Henrik should be slapped for that lazy backcheck. He should have been all over Smith but instead took his sweet ass time getting to him. That’s at least the third lazy play I’ve seen him make in the first two games, and I was wondering when it would cost a goal.
2 – As much as he is all that is man, Edler misplayed that pass and gave it up to Stalberg
3 – Again, Smith is wide open in front with a centre blowing the cover – but this time it’s CoHo. They’ve got to do a better job covering the guy going to the front of the net there.

Going to have to tighten that up for Games 3 and 4, because Chicago is going to bring that pressure from the last 5 minutes all the time – and they were looking scary there.

Ya a bit sloppy by Lou but the guys in front of him let him down. Edler was way too soft giving up that puck on the second one and someone should have the guy who’s all alone in the slot on the third one. The first one Lou actually touched with his glove and kind of passed it to Smith so maybe should’ve had that one.

Ben Smith had an unofficial hat-trick if you count the tip in on his own net.

by marcness52 on Apr 16, 2011 8:07 AM PDT up reply actions  

Notice though

all three goals are third/fourth line goals? They really need to work on coverage nonetheless, but i think it’s fair to also say they are giving the guys who can be expected to be big every night (not just on nights when Lu’s doing his customary brain farts, absolutely nothing, which is impressive considering the talent level.

Lu needed to wake up a bit last night on the first two goals (on the first one, if it was Hossa/Toews/Kane/Sharp, no question its in so fast, but Smith took enough time for Lu to play a round of poker with the team before getting in position), the last one was zone coverage breakdown on CoHo’s part.

the refs

The refs are letting a lot go both ways – typical of playoff hockey i guess. i thought Toews was hooked on the breakaway – but there was certainly no gaurantee we would have scored on the PP.

The thing that has impressed me the most in this series id the Canucks team defense – stingy bastards.

What’s with all the Patrick Kane hatred. Show #88 a little love would you. Your guys were on him like white on rice all night long.

I actually liked Sharps attitude out there last night. He played with a little edge – I’d like to see that from a few more Hawks. incredibly dumb penalty leading to your 2nd goal. What an incredible tip by Thing One.

Walkom and Co were definitely letting some things go.

I prefer the refs we have had the first two game to some in the other series, where they have called it right down the line, you know?

let the boys play

Ageed, also I’m not sure the Hawks match up special teams wise. Probably favors us to let them play.

From a Canucks perspective, which is obviously wrong, did seabrook get away with a crosscheck on Borrows in the 3rd period behind our net?

i’m hopeful for tomorrow night though – one of our big guns will eventually light the lamp. keith can not play any worse. and we can only pray that Scott stays in the press box – looks like Bickell was nicked pretty good.

Sharp reminded me of a Philadelphia Flyer last night. you have to play this game with a little attitude, eh?

If you lose again tomorrow

Your team should replace Chelsea Dagger with something else.

HATE THAT SONG

that song needs to be dropped smack dab in the miidle if Johstone straight.

Yeah, Seabs got away with it. Burrows probably asked for it or something.

A few calls went unmade. The worst I thought was when Kesler was dominating Seabrook and Keith on the PK, and was tripped blatantly at the side of the net.

That one pissed me off.

But I was OK for it because the Nucks killed off the penalty AND had better scoring chances SH then the Hawks did on the PP.

Sharpie has my respect if that knee is as bad as rumoured. He is playing well for a 70% knee.

Was that the same play

Where the stick was actually still between his legs and the hawks player had skated to the bench. Hilarious. Yeah, I would say the refs are letting them play.

No, the one where Kes had two great chances on the PK, and went to go in front

Seabs tripped him blatantly.

This quote is music to my ears.

From Hossa

"We have to win the third [game] or it’s not going to be good," Hossa said. "We showed we can play with this team. We just have to do it for a full 60 minutes."

“with this team?” I love it. It sounds like something WE said last year!

Winning...

is so hot right now. but on a worrisome note, we got dominated in the dot yesterday. for a puck possession team like van (and chi) faceoffs are huge. obviously losing Manny has hurt us in the category, but Kes and Hank were still 2 of the better f/o men in the league throughout the season. i’d like to see us trend upward in this category for game 3.

Honestly – I like Kane. Shifty little bastard. Glad we’re containing him so far. A few more Edler smash’s and I’ll like him even more though. Edler is being a B-E-A-S-T! The wizard known as xEvolu7ioNx has to make a playoff compilation of Edler at some point down the road.
