PERIOD 1:
1:55 Damn stupid penalty for Bieksa to take. Man, he takes a lot of unnecessary penalties. Now we’re down 2 men and give them a 5-on-3.
3:05 GOAL by Modano. Great shot by the veteran. First goal in a tight series. It’s highly unlikely that Vancouver can come from behind now. Thank you Kevin Bieksa (grow-up and play like an adult moron).
Dallas 1 – Vancouver 0
5:30 Great screen shot by Salo with traffic in front by Linden. Lindros takes an interference penalty and the Canucks on the power play.
7:00 Terrible power play by the Canucks. Morrison gets a high-stick to the face and no penalty to Dallas. Brutal power play. We are going to have our ass handed to us unless we smarten up.
8:20 Wow what a cycle by Hansen. Great shift by Bullis and Hansen.
Once again I have no idea where Morrison and Cowan are… do they know this is a playoff game and if they lose this they are likely to lose the series and be golfing in 3 days?
12:00 Great break-out by Bullis… Smolinski takes his eye off the puck so the pass hits his skate and deflects forward (sheesh).
14;50 Another great break-out by Bullis… solid shot by Kraijeck.
17:21 Oh the ref notices the slight high-stick by Ohlund but none of the ones by Dallas.
18:00 Oh the ref notices the roughing by Burrows, but completely ignores Ribeiro. What bulls—t.
End-of-period – Canucks outshoot the Stars despite the penalty kills and poor refereeing. Despite the refs, Vancouver has to play MORE DISCIPLINED in order to win!
PERIOD 2:
5:45 Solid hit and takeaway by Cowan; great pass out front.
6:30 Lindros misses a gimme but Luongo was in position and would’ve stopped him.
Bullis leads all forwards with 9:05 in ice time. Well deserved too. Canucks now have the slight edge in shots 12-11.
Hansen draws a penalty on a good shift with Naslund. Power-play for Vancouver, but 21 PPs without a goal.
9:30 A better power-play but Kraijeck made a poor shot to turnover the puck. Morrison also turns over the puck. (Sigh).
Dammit Pyatt turns over the puck on the power-play. Good pressure now. I have no idea what the time is… (Where is the CBC score board and clock?!?!? Man does this network get it?!?! The answer is: no. We can look forward to another 10 years of Bob Cole and Harry Neale even though they (while giants at their peak) should have been replaced 3 years ago. Thank god for Jim Hughson because I’ll friggin’ snap if I hear Bob Cole refer to Markus Naslund as Mats Naslund again.
13:50 Geez, Turco looks great. Another great save on Pyatt.
15:00 Vigneault now has Morrison playing on the fourth line with Burrows and Cowan. Well deserved too. I hate to say it but we need to score. We need Naslund playing with the twins again.
18:40 Both Zubov and Bieksa have gone to their own respective dressing rooms. The way he’s playing we wont’ miss Bieksa, but Dallas will badly miss Zubov if he doesn’t return.
End-of-period. Hmmm, Canucks will need a power-play goal to win this and much better discipline. Without both we have no chance of winning this series.
PERIOD 3:
Dallas goal. Whatever. This game was over when Bieksa took that dumb penalty. Furthermore the series will be easily won by Dallas unless we learn to play like grown-ups instead of idiot kids – and FIND A POWER-PLAY.
Dallas 2 – Vancouver 0.
Until next game…

They gotta get The Steamer or Darcy Rota in for a pep talk before the game tonight!
The 'Nucks are Canada's team now! The rest of the country would be watching if it wasn't for those stupid mountains!
Thanks for carrying the torch and believing! I know i'm suffering in that area... I'm overcome with the same feelings back in 2003 versus Minnesota... burnt once, twice shy. Hopeful, but fearful.
