Canucks Rule On Special Teams To Beat Sharks 4-2 And Take A 3-1 Series Lead

Photobucket

Image provided by a Ducks fan who goes by the handle cmatthew35. Too awesome not to post!

Good God. What a disastrously reffed game. Or was it? First off, here is the penalty summary:

Photobucket

I've had to let some time pass in order to get over my anger on the matter. Now, after analyzing the first 5 Canucks penalties of the game, I can begin to understand. (In order) Tanner Glass' tripping call at the start of the game was the result of him losing his footing and then position on the Sharks player. He puts his stick in the player's feet and down the guy goes. Tripping. Kevin Bieksa caught Joe Thornton with a high stick. Joe embellished it but really the contact was made. Glass' boarding call was boarding. He rammed the guys head into the boards while he was on his knees. I DON'T LIKE the charging call on Raffi Torres when he smoked Douglas Murray. 2:00 for skating too fast on Raffi I guess. Let's take huge hits out of the game, shall we? Geez. Dan Hamhuis' hooking call was a direct result of he and his defensive partner getting blown away by Patrick Marleau's speed. Marleau flies between them and Hammer puts his stick into him to slow him up. Marleau seemingly embellished that play but really, this is what happens when players embellish. The refs have to be acting judges now too?

Honestly, I thought the Canucks were on their heels to start because of their lack of discipline. I didn't see the Sharks playing undisciplined at all in the first period. No, that happened when the Canucks killed the 5 consecutive penalties against and then got their legs under them. You could see the tide turn as all of a sudden the Sharks were on their heels. Bang bang bang the Sharks take 4 penalties between the 8:15 and 11:01 mark of the 2nd period and the Canucks make history by scoring 3 consecutive 5-on-3 goals in the span of 1:55.

Star-divide

I think that the refs could have put their whistles away on some of these calls and just let them play. That's the problem with all these stupid obstruction calls nowadays though. It opens up for this crap to happen and honestly, the players wanted these obstruction calls to exist in the first place.

Anyways, good thing Alexandre Burrows scored the 4-0 goal early in the 3rd period because the Canucks sat back after that and the Sharks bagged 2 in the end. No matter.

  • Henrik Sedin is the first Canuck ever to tally 4 assists in a playoff game. He now leads the League in playoff scoring with 2 goals and 19 points. He has a long way to go to catch the NHL record for assists in one playoff year, which is 31 in 19 games held by Wayne Gretzky in 1988. Hell, Gretz had 14 assists in one playoff series in 1985. Oh well, keep it up, Hank!
  • Keith Ballard played 10:34, including (only) 1:06 on the PK. I thought he looked pretty good. The best part? When he demolishes Jamie McGinn:

Whammo!!! Hey! Whatever happened to the "clipping" call, refs? Another inconsistency in officiating. Oh well, couldn't happen to a bigger anus on the Sharks squad.

  • The Sharks outshot the Canucks 35 to (effing) 13! In all that Luongo was solid but not stellar. That's how good the Canucks played in front of him for most of the game.
  • Sami Salo's 2 PP goals were awesome. There you have it..Christian Ehrhoff goes down to injury and Salo steps up to the plate and scores his first goal in 9 games. 2 cannons! (TWHS)
  • Torres was not to be silenced after his charging penalty. He remained a dominant physical force, bowling over 2 Sharks players in the corner and rocking Joe Thornton:

Thornton did not return and his status is uncertain. Looked like a shoulder injury, but we'll see. He was probably embellishing. Heheh.

  • The key words for the Canucks are resilient and opportunistic. And that they are. They look like penalty killing fiends now after all that practice in Game 3. The Sharks cannot stop their PP. Hell, the Canucks were even attacking the Sharks while down a man in this game. (The Mason Raymond golden SH chance early comes to mind). This one is a tough pill to swallow for San Jose in that regard. They just got schooled in the special teams department in a huge way.

Luongo wasn't "stellar"

because his positioning was near flawless all night. Almost every shot, even tipped ones, bounced off him. He’s really bought into Rollie’s style and its paying huge dividends. He isn’t making “spectacular” saves, because he’s never out of it and doesn’t have to.
Much like sensible defensive driving. The best drivers never have to swerve to avoid accidents etc… because of how they manage space and are aware of everything going on around them, acting to mitigate risks before they materialize.

I thought Lui was excellent because of how he was in his net all night. That shoulder save on Boyle was 3 minutes left was a tough one too.

Still

we are not giving him enough credit. It’s probably because we are used to him making some crazy ass saves throughout games. But these days he doesn’t have to. His positioning and sense are so good, hes not needing to make those saves. He is there before the puck and makes the routine pad/chest/glove save.

That is true

I don’t mind it when people undervalue his play to the point where they call him “solid” in a game where he was probably better than solid, what bugs me is when people roast him for games in which he was good but the team still lost, or where he let in a couple goals during which the defense let him down (cough ChicagoGames4and5 cough). Just because he didn’t have a 78 save shutout doesn’t mean he was bad (this is directed more so at the asshat MSM)

true kinda silly, but I think he’s better than just solid or good.

Sure, he’s playing behind a great team, but aren’t they all at this point in the season?

great wrap up

I disagree on the high stick on Thornton, and the hook on Marleau though. Still don’t believe that stick makes contact with Thornton’s face, and I know they grow em tough up in Smithers, but are we really to believe that he was able to send Marleau spinning off like that with just one hand on the stick?

Great review Sean!

Have to admit,

Not the best game I’ve seen the Canucks play,

but they played just well enough to win. Good enuf for me.

Also:

1) Ballard hip check left me all gaga.
2) Three 5-3 goals in 1.55 min made me all giggly – (I didn’t even start drinking at this point!!!)
3) Burrows goal keeps reminding me that Hank needs to pass into the net more…..
4) Unfortunate regarding Thornton if he’s injured. Really, the only guy from the sharks I saw putting effort every game. Kept games entertaining (in a good way if he doesn’t start drastically embellishing)

And Luongo not being stellar is a good thing, in that he doesn’t NEED to be stellar anymore. Wasn’t the team defense emphasis this year so that Luongo doesn’t have to be stellar, and just merely good?

We can thank Ben Eager for the parade of penalties the last 2 games

His display of stupidity/insanity right in front of the head office guys has led to every little touch getting called.

I thought all of the first 5 penalties on us were marginal.

This is playoff hockey, what’s this league coming to?

MOVE YOUR FEET

Was it just me, or was that game on the weaker side of playoff hockey. I think what made it boring was San Jose getting outskated by a wide margin. They just didn’t seem like they could skate with the Canucks. The Sharks seemed to have ankle weights on. In my mind, hockey was meant ot be played at night.

While all the penalties assessed to San Jose were legitimate, three 5 on 3’s in a row was a lousy way to determine the outcome. The penalty to Torres on his hit on Murray was highly questionable. Shoulder to shoulder the way I saw it. Murray has to keep his head up.

I was really surprised by the shot totals – not so much Vancouver’s shots on goal, but SJ’s. It just didn’t seem like they had 35 shots on goal. That has to be the lowest shot toal for the canucks this year.

Finally, Eager may be a nozzle, but he’s faster than anyone the Sharks have on the fourth line. He should have been dressed.

So apparently Manny drove home from the airport today?

If his eyesight is good enough to drive, shouldn’t it be good enough to play? I can imagine ICBC is pretty stringent about letting people who have had eye surgery and eye injuries drive. If he can operate a sweet ride, he can play, right?

Tell me if Im way off base.

Maybe

Or maybe getting pounded into the boards by 250 pound gorillas isn’t good for a still healing detached retina.

Oh so its an issue of a bodycheck jarring his eye loose?

Can he wear a cage and be fine?

I'm not familiar with the finer points of his injury

But my guess is that the violent nature of the game has a lot to do with him not being well healed enough to return.

Slow left turns and shifting from 2nd to 3rd are acceptable.

If it was safe to play him ...

wouldn’t the Canucks be doing just that? Just saying …

That he’s not implies he isn’t safe playing … big difference driving a car and playing the game.

Sigh .. man, we could use him tho. :)

Ballard only played 10mins?

Damn, that sucks. better than the no minutes he was getting before. i’d like to see him get at least 15 a game. i don’t think he did anything at all to warrant such little ice time and he had the most spectacular hit of the playoffs to boot.

I know the series isn’t over, but I feel pretty good about my comments before the series re: we’d outhit SJ and Wellwood would be a total non factor. Very good indeed.

No special teams minutes for Ballard I believe. They leaned real heavy on the top 4

can't argue with the result

let’s just hope he gets some more ice time game 5. really don’t know why he’s always on such a short lease. everyone in the top 6 (on any team) makes mistakes that can cost the team once in a while. don’t know what ballard’s done that is so particularly egregious…

he isn’t Aaron Rome, so that is already a big strike against him

I think it’s because he’s paired with Tanev and they want to limit his minutes. Makes sense though. The other 4 guys are clearly the top 4 and I’d like to see them with the most minutes.

OT

how one dimensional is Heatley? If he’s not scoring goals, he’s completely invisible. not a good passer, not a good forechecker, doesn’t play D well, doesn’t hit much…doesn’t do anything.

I really wanted to say something here about Heatley, but I’ll wait till after the series is over.

Pretty much describes Phil Kessel too, haha.

Kessel has improved in aspects

he is still lulz that was paid for by a king’s ransom at a very inopportune time for the Leafs franchise though.

Kessel needs someone to pass to him. I almost feel bad for the guy since he has nobody to help him and he has to do it all by himself.

Exactly

he NEEDS a first line center.

Yeah he probably is injured

But he only put up 26 goals this whole regular season. That’s the same amount as Burr for 4* the money. And you can’t even say it’s b/c of who gets to lineup with Hank and Dank. He’s got Thornton.

This time of year, who isn’t playing injured?
