I don't get it. This is the Canucks team that topped the Northwest Division?! Watching the Canucks play Game 1 and tonight I would never have guessed it. It's like for 80% of the game they let Dallas take shots at Luongo, and for the remaining 20% they sprinkle in an occasional shot at Turco. Was this their game plan in the regular season?I was only able to watch one regular season game when the Canucks played the Washington Capitals (Canucks 3, Capitals 2 (SO)). This was before the Christmas break, back when the Canucks were playing a little below (or was it slightly above?) 500 hockey. I think the Canucks played better and had more spark in that regular season game than they have now, in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Depressing.
I can't even give the Canucks the excuse of being exhausted from their 1st game marathon that ran to 4OT--Dallas are in the exact same boat.
Towards the end of the game the Canucks started getting desperate, I guess, but too little too late.
If this worrisome trend continues I don't see the Canucks surviving the first round. :o(

That was a poorly played game for sure. Well, for the 1st minute of the 1st and 2nd periods. It definitely looks like Dallas wants to win more.
I think the Game 1 really tired out the Canucks and the injuries have affected them. It's not good losing 3 players in the first playoff game.
