It didn't take long...two decent games against Calgary and then their first trip out east to strut their stuff in front the Yankee Canuck...the Canucks fell flat on their face.
If ever a hockey game screamed for an analog feed, this was it. The only redeeming factor is that at least the pay-per-view audio didn't work. Still, that didn't stop the eye damage to people who paid to see in spectacular, 42-inch widescreen detail the Canucks generate fewer shots in the first two periods than the Capitals did goals (3-5).
Yeesh...and I haven't even watched it yet. I listened to the podcast from Team 1040 and just listening to it, it was brutal (but Shorty and Tommy make it fun, for the most part).
So, its back to reality Canuck fans...they weren't going to run the table, but they certainly won't lose the rest of their games. Games like this are character builders, as coaches sometimes like to say. I'll take some time to try and watch this game...but, ewww, it might be a bit tough.
Hmmmmm...character building. Guess I had lots of character building last week at my game. Didn't feel so good, though. The Bruins are 1-1 thus far...both goalies have GAA above 4. The B's were outshot 39-20 by the Avalanche, but pulled off a 5-4 win. Haven't seen the game, but it sounds like the Bruins could use some more defense.
