(Just a quick warning: I drafted this last night immediately after the game, so it's bold and angry...)
What the bloody hell was that? I spent the 1st period and the beginning of the 2nd period in class streaming CBCSports.ca on mute, then had to catch the bus home after that.. By the time I got home, it was 4-2 for the Blackhawks and (pardon my language) fucking Dustin Byfuglien was trying to get a hat trick. Seriously, what the hell happened? The Canucks have a 2-game homestand here, they need to be using it to their advantage! Instead, they let the Blackhawks take the 2-1 series lead. Seriously, the little bit of the game I was able to watch with sound was enough for me to be clenching my fists by the end of the game. If the Canucks don't redeem themselves tomorrow night, they're going to be in seriously deep trouble.
