Nucks 5 Calgary 3
Game 1 of the playoffs! The Canucks came ou super strong and had a 2-0 lead less than 10 minutes in, and won 5-3! The game was filled with penalties (and a lot of crappy refereering) but the Canucks capitlized on their opportunites, and went 4-for-6 on the power play. That's amazing, considering the slump the power play was in all season. Marty Rucinsky, Sami Salo, Henrik Sedin, Mattias Ohlund and Brendan Morrison (a beaut) scored for the Canucks. Calgary was really running Clooch, trying to mess with his head. They'll pay for that newt game. The game was rather sloppy and not a classic for sure but it's good to see the Canucks get off to a good start! Of course, it's just one game, and they can't stop here because you know Calgary will come back strong. Well, can't wait for Friday!

In the other games, Montreal lost to Boston 3-0, Det beat Nash 3-1, and Colorado beat Dallas 3-1 (grr...). Tonight The Sens and Leafs go, but I'm going to be at Arts County (woo hoo!) so I won't be able to watch it, sigh. Hope my hockey pool teams start to kick into gear...Anyway...Go Canucks Go!
