What a night. What a night of hockey indeed.
The two biggest factors in the Canucks win: no Zubov for Dallas and the men in stripes. Seriously, the Canucks got very favourable refereeing and I'd go as far as saying the referees DID decide the outcome of the game. I'm a Vancouver fan but I know what I see. The Stars had everything they wanted. They controlled the 1st period, silenced the crowd, had a 1-0 lead. Then the 2nd period is where it went bad for Dallas. A slew of bad calls got them in penalty trouble, a 5 on 3 against at one point, and the Canucks got back in the game. I think the Canucks should stray from saying anything bad about refereeing for a while because they were handwrapped a gift last night. Oh well, I get to see them for few more games anyway.
