Wow, what a much better game. Did our penalty kill improve? Yeah, I'd say so, especially compared to the rest of this series. Did Roberto Luongo shine? Oh boy, did he ever on a couple of those saves! Although it started a little rougher in the 1st period with a couple failed penalty kills, the 2nd period was a huge improvement with some successful penalty kills and a couple goals. The 3rd period was even stronger, and incredibly fun. Henrik Sedin would score the winner, Ryan Kesler would get the empty net goal, and the Canucks would win 6-4 to retie the series with the Kings. Now this pretty much becomes a best-of-3 scenario, where the Canucks once again have home-ice advantage. Aren't the playoffs fun?
