Well the Stanley cup playoffs are underway. Here in Vancouver we thought it would be a long and boring series with Dallas. The first game was very exciting for the first three periods. The second game they played was more like the match up we thought we were going to see. I must admit that I went to bed after the third overtime. I am not interested in seeing the shootout in the playoffs. Having said that I do think the league needs to find a way to eliminate these really looonnng games. This was the sixth longest in history and the longest in Canucks history. I sure hope the next game does not go this long. I really liked the play of Modano and Naslund last night. I thought they were the two best players on the ice. The Sedins were very quite in the first four periods. They did pick it up in the overtime sessions. For Vancouver’s sake the Sedin’s need to be productive or they may not go very far in the playoffs. Having said that if Luongo and Turco play like they did last night there will not be much scoring from here on, in this series. What can you say about Jeff Cowan? Matt Cooke goes down and he comes in and hits people like crazy for all the overtime periods. This guy could be a great asset in the playoffs for the Canucks.
Playoff hockey is the greatest.
