Hurrah! Yippee! We won! The Canucks defeat the Stars 2-1 in regulation and take a 3-1 series lead!!!!Tonight's game between the Vancouver Canucks and Dallas Stars wasn't on television, but I was able to listen to the game via live streaming on the internet at Team 1040AM, which broadcasts Canucks games.
I really wish I could have seen this game, though, instead of just listening to it. The teams played much more evenly, and the Vancouver PK was great, killing off a questionable two-man Stars PP in the first. I especially wanted to see the Canucks' second goal by Trevor Linden. Linden is one of my all-time favourite NHL players, and the way Tom Larscheid described it Linden had a great shift that ended with him scoring the winning goal.
Talk about stressful, though. Scoreless for two and a half periods. The Canucks score first in the middle of the third period, but then the Stars equalize a few minutes later. Linden scores with 6 minutes left, and 3 minutes later the Stars almost equalize once again--muchos kudos to Willie Mitchell for saving one on the goal line. Then for the last minute the Stars pulled their goalie for the extra attacker. Talk about tension!
Whoopee!
On to game 5 in Vancouver :o)
