Unbelievable

Kiss another season good-bye, Canucks fans. Once again we are left with that empty feeling, shaking our heads in dispair; and disgust. Never would I have guessed that the Canucks would score 5 goals but give up 7 and lose the most crucial game of the year. Unbelievable.

Yeah, Luongo wasn’t a difference maker, but I would really only fault him on one of those 7 goals. The power play, the Sedins and the rest of the offence did its job, they scored 5 goals in a playoff game, afterall. The weak link turned out to be the defense, they made mistakes and took lame penalties and the Chicago D-men did not do that, they were faster, made better transition passes, didn’t make defensive zone mistakes or take stupid penalties. Gillis needs to add some offensive players with speed but he also needs to hit a home run with an all-star defence man. Can you say Bouwmeester.

Anyway, I hate to say this, but go Blackhawks. It is always better to lose to the Stanley Cup champs, but that is little consolation at this point.
