As of late, I’m seemingly permanently behind, with several half finished blog posts sitting in draft mode and ideas for more, but no time to finish the already existing ones. So while I treated myself to watching the entire length of Game 1 of the Canucks’ playoff run, I will now have to force myself to only watch while doing other things. Thus I watched Game 2 while at the same time as updating my Quicken files and I’m writing this just before Game 3. However, I won’t be able to proof read and post it until after that game as I’m headed out the door to bring my brother-in-law his computer on which I was working. I’ll have to finish installing some items at his place, but that’s not as bad as it sounds as his computer desk sits next to his 60 inch TV.
There was not too much to say about Game 2. The defensive match that had been expected showed itself, and I was hard pressed to get my own excitement up. I’m hoping this was just due to a lack of excitement in the game and not due to my multitasking. While the Stars had spent almost all of Game 1 playing catch-up to the Canucks; in Game 2 Dallas scored on the opening shift and it was Vancouver’s turn to chase the lead. This is not a good position to be in a battle of defensive teams, and Vancouver was destined to never overcome this early lead.
Roberto Luongo played well and had little chance on the opening goal. The opening shift of the second period was almost a replay, with the same line scoring again. In the end, Luongo blocked 25 shots and could not be faulted for the two that got by him, but this does little good when your teammates cannot find the opposing goal.
We’ll all leave that game behind us and hope for much more tonight.
