dorset should be smacked side of the head for that stupid penalty he took, caused a goal,very selfish.
just couldn't stand the thought of 'not' slashing the other player, after a shoving match at the
benches.
as soon as l.a. got the two goals, then they used their masterful defensive gAme to put the crowd to
sleep and check check check, and they are so big, and so much more experienced than many of the
canucks.
no jlm its not just quick at all, but when he was tested he made the saves, nothing out of this world,
just solid, but it wasn't quick who won this game for l.a. at all.
l.a. have always been a very talented team on the 'defense', they don't win games by much, usually
one or two goals, but they keep their opposition from scoring , and quick, if he has to, will do
the rest, canucks had to go on the offense to catch up, and l.a. just checked the stuffing out of
the canucks.
as they explained during the break, linden vey made a very bad line change, left his team short handed
long enough for that 2nd goal, he will learn, just as they said, but it was a poor choice.
just to call the cAnucks pitiful is pitiful, just shows that he isn't really watching the whole
game at all, and can't seem to see just what l.a. was doing after they got that 2 goal lead.
the 3rd goal was a turnover by hamhuis, i felt bad for him as he had a very solid game, thought
sbisa had a so so game, but he is learning too, and this game was a clinic for a player like him,
against these big experienced players, he will go home having learned something tonight.
don't forget, this team is in a transition, a semi rebuild, l.a. is not, they have their complete
championship team, with added talent as well, and same goalie.
too bad canucks didn't play a couple of games against l.a. earlier on, and don't have to meet them
3 times near the end of the season, however they still have games they 'have' to win and 'should'
win, so on they go, and lets see how this all plays out.
no, they are not pitiful, WATCH THE OTHER TEAM aND REALLY SEE WHAT THEY ARE DOING DEFENSIVELY.
yes, i agree with shorty and john garrett, 'SUFFOCATING' by the kings, after
they got the lead, perfect description.
It's going to be a 5 way dog fight now!

are you actually surprised that it is a dogfight, looking at the numbers, that is the way it was
going, we all knew l.a. would be there, no surprise at all, but they still have to win their
way into the playoffs too, and they have lots of games on the road, so nothing is guaranteed
for them either, or any of the pacific division teams who are battling to stay inside that
playoff position.
the defense of the kings was not going to let any canuck in close enough to
'deke' quick, shots have to bounce in off of someone, or be deflected, or
a good tip in, or a shot from a rebound.
