Good Signs

After a all out great effort by most of the team Saturday VS. the wild. The Vancouver Canucks still managed to lose in OT. This was really a heart breaker, The Vancouver Canucks deserved to win this game. There was a couple of questional calls by the refs, highlighted by horrible call in OT for hooking. After the Canucks played so hard and fought back into the game, to force it to OT, the refs literally handed the game away. At least we got a point out of it. We had 40 shots in the game. But here is a stat worth taking note of. Out of the 40 shots we took, 36 were blocked, saved, missed the net, or hit the post. We need to improve there! Taking lots of shots is good but not when there is a man or his stick in the way. We also need to improve by having some better goaltending. Roberto Luongo should have saved the first goal, but he also made some huge saves. Daniel Sedin had 8 shots himself, that is all good but he should have scored some with that amount of shots. Our give-a-ways are costly every time, I liked putting Mike Brown in on the 4th line, it made it complete, but he had a bad give-a-way, and so did Elder (as schedualed) and some other players. Our PK was better but our PP should have capitalized on the 5 minute major. Ryan Kesler had a great game, and if everyone played like he did we would have blown the wild out of GM Place.
