Canucks Back on Track with Philly Win
The Vancouver Canucks helped end a two game losing streak with a late winner in a 3-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers at the Wells Fargo Center last night! Though the game was notable for the fact that coach John Tortorella chose to separate the ever present Sedin Brothers duo onto different offensive lines!
But the Canucks win was anything but easy and after rookie Tye McGinn put the Flyers in front after 12.26 of the 1st period, but incredibly Vancouver levelled only 10 seconds later through a neat finish from Ryan Kesler!
In the second period McGinn again got the home fans excited when he scored only 2.10 into the second period and despites Vancouver's best efforts they couldn't find a way past Flyers goalie Steve Mason!
Tortorella's big game occured with six minutes to play in the third period when he chose to move Chris Higgins onto the top line in place of Daniel Sedin and it was this man who tied the scores at 2-2 after 7.31 minutes played off an assist from Henrik! But it was Ryan Kesler who prove to be the hero as he scored his second after 17.35 played to give the Canucks a 3-2 win!
Although the Canucks are thankfully starting to get themselves together, this heaps more pressure on the Flyers organisation as their records stands at 1 win from a possible seven! Vancouver moves up to 8th in the Western Conference
